Mirim Riding Club

In front of General Layout Plan

When we visited the Mirim Riding Club under the construction on May 6, Kim Jong Un gave his opinions on its construction, going over the general layout plans of the club and the indoor riding course.

On August 9 he visited its construction site again.

In front of the general layout plan of the club he was briefed on the progress of the project.

He was satisfied at the fact that soldiers-builders had done a great deal of work in a short time.

Noting the significance of the construction of the club in adding luster to Chairman Kim Jong Il’s leadership exploits and enabling people to lead a more civilized life, he said that when the club was built, people, including youth and students, would be able to develop their spirits and physique for labor and national defense while riding horse here.

Despite the sweltering summer day he gave his opinions for a long time, pointing at one object after another on the layout plan.

He stressed that the room for preserving the materials related with the Chairman should be laid out perfectly and the indoor training ground, riding school and public service structures be built to be flawless even in the distant future, adding that measures should be taken from now on for the operation of the riding club.

Gift to Be Present to People

On September 22 Kim Jong Un visited the Mirim Riding Club, whose construction was nearing completion, and looked round the indoor training ground, riding service station, outdoor auditorium, circular training ground, riding school and stable.

He was pleased to hear that construction of a breeding stock institute and veterinary hospital, a task he had given during his on-site guidance in August, was progressing at quick speed. He then gave his opinions on setting off the characteristics of the timber plastered on the exterior of buildings while preventing it from decaying, landscaping the surroundings and other matters to be raised with the completing of the construction project.

Saying that the anniversary of founding of the WPK was nearing, he instructed that the soldier-builders should finish the project, a gift from the WPK to the people, by the target date.

To Give Immaculate Finishing Touches

On October 13 Kim Jong Un visited the Mirim Riding Club still under construction.

Looking round the room for education in the revolutionary relics and other places in the club, he gave his opinions on making thoroughgoing preparations for its inauguration.

He referred to the need to hang the photos of the Generalissimos in a more solemn way and give immaculate finishing touches to landscaping by covering the area around the artificial pond with the sand from the famous Mongumpho and planting trees of superior species on the artificial hill.

He was so careful to provide the people with a riding club furnished with perfect conditions and environment.

Look of the Developing Juche-Based Architecture

Under the Kim Jong Un’s deep care and meticulous guidance the Mirim Riding Club had been built on the vast space in a suburb of Pyongyang in a little over seven months.

With the construction of the riding club, the sound of hooves of running horses could resound in a suburbia of Pyongyang, conveying the affection of the Workers’ Party of Korea for the people.

Visiting the club on October 20, he looked round the room for education in the revolutionary relics, riding service station, indoor riding training ground, room for disseminating riding skills and other places, and said that the structures of the club fully reflected the Party’s idea of architectural beauty, the idea of designing an architectural structure and executing its building work in line with its characteristics and utility, and that all of them had reached the criteria set by the Party.

Looking at the young people riding horses, he said: Seeing them I can visualize the look of a thriving socialist country dashing forward by dint of the might of Songun; now that we have built a modern riding club, we can put General Kim Jong Il’s wish into reality and provide the people including children with conditions for horse riding.

Completion of the construction of the club is a demonstration of the look of rapidly-developing Juche-based architecture, he noted, adding that the promise of the Party to build a modern riding club and give it to the people as a gift was fulfilled.

The Mirim Riding Club was inaugurated on October 25.
