The safety of child jockeys during the Naadam races was discussed
in the Civil Chamber on July 1. Among the participants were the Union of
Honored Mothers and the Union of Mongolian Horse Sports.
Mothers called for a union of such children to
look after their interests, and wanted safety gear for the riders. They also
pressed for stronger enforcement of safety regulations, providing insurance
cover for the children, disallowing children under 7 from competing, and
compensation for injured children and their family.
Participants appealed to MPs and people interested in horse sports to see that
the children received all protection.
