The Film Development Board (FDB) is set to organize a one-week horse riding training program aimed at enhancing the skills of artists and technicians in the Nepali film industry as part of its Skill Enhancement Year 2082 initiative. The training is scheduled to begin on the 24th of this month.
With a growing number of historical, mythological, action, and adventure films being produced in Nepal, horse riding has become an essential skill for actors and stunt performers. The program is designed to help participants become safer, more disciplined, and professionally trained in handling such demanding scenes.
According to the board, the training will include participation from well-known and experienced figures from the Nepali film sector. The course will provide practical exercises, safety protocols, coordination with horses, camera synchronization, and basic techniques required for action sequences.
Speaking about the initiative, FDB Chairperson Dinesh DC stated:
“As historical, mythological, and action-based storytelling increases in Nepali cinema, horse riding is no longer optional—it is becoming essential. This training aims to make artists and stunt performers safer, more disciplined, and professional. It will help improve film quality and elevate Nepali cinema to international standards.”
The Film Development Board believes the program will significantly contribute to improving production quality, safety standards, and self-reliance within Nepal’s film industry.
