Of course, it was not that there had been no domestic horse-riding and training techniques for using retired racehorses as riding horses. Until the mid-1990s, they bred and trained The Dirty Blood, which had mainly been used as racehorses at racetracks, on their own and used it as riding horses. However, in the mid-1990s, when the European Warmblood began to be introduced in earnest in Korea, the taming and training techniques for retired racehorses naturally disappeared. Centered on professional equestrian riders,

Later, I’d like to open a chain store under the name of our equestrian club. As they are called the young blood of the horse industry, they will do it with passion.Choi Tae-hoon, head of the Yongin Pony Club, expressed his ambition to open a chain store bearing the name of his equestrian club. He said that there were many difficult and challenging hurdles in the process of growing the pony business from just three horses to 23 within a few years. However, by working hard on his own and overcoming difficulties,

It explains the process of growth from the initial stage to the present. We really ran with our bodies. There were days when I earned 50,000 won, and days when it rained and I came up empty-handed. When I burned a lot, I even earned 500,000 won, and yet I said I was happy. What started that way has now been recognized for its effort, receiving certification as a sixth-sector industry, and with government support, it is becoming more stable.My wife had no connection to words. We met through an introduction,

Most riding arenas receive support related to student riding. I’ve even heard that if this support is cut off, most equestrian centers will go under. Support cannot continue indefinitely, and equestrian operators themselves must build their own strength. If support continues, I won’t make an effort. Our equestrian center doesn’t even receive support for student riding, but it is running fairly well on its own. It’s thanks to working hard on my feet. What I felt on site was that if you work hard, this is a field with plenty of potential.

People from schools for people with disabilities are reaching out asking if I could do therapeutic riding, and places like vocational training schools are also inquiring whether I could provide trial riding experiences. I also received messages from Seoul, which is more than 60 km away, and although the distance was a bit inconvenient, I often went out more for social contribution than for profit. While revenue is important, I also think there is a great need for equestrian operators themselves to lower the barriers to equestrianism

Among them are some that are crossbred between Warmblood and Hanlama, as well as Shuttlelands, Miniatures, and others.Ponies are usually bred and then sold in many places like experience farms. The one we bred from Hallamarang and Warmblood is so good that we’re not selling it and are using it ourselves right now. It’s a very good thing, so I have no intention of selling. Halla horses are being sold in large numbers at the riding stable. Our riding club is located outdoors, so we sometimes see excavators or dump trucks,

Since I was a child, my father ran a farm raising livestock such as deer, pigs, and goats, so I had no hesitation in raising animals, and horseback riding, which I learned as an elective in college, became my connection. Seeing that I learned horseback riding as quickly as the other kids, the riding instructor even praised me. And by the time I was riding for the third time, the instructor even said, “Would you consider helping me work at the riding stable?”While preparing for the university graduation presentation,

The useful information related to childcare and education seems to have become indirectly promoted through a culture of sharing among parents. To meet this interest and expectation, they also hold events from time to time. During extremely hot or cold seasons, we also hold major discount events, and we try to provide services tailored to customers, such as handing out delicious snacks like ice cream or drinks to young children who visit the riding club. Since they are young entrepreneurs and around the same age as the parents,

For now, I’m getting a lot of inquiries about the program from nearby kindergartens and schools. The first time regular customers visited our equestrian club, they were very satisfied with the program and spread a lot of word-of-mouth about it. As word spread among parents, inquiries came in one after another, and when demand for the horseback riding program grew to a certain scale, kindergartens and schools would also follow up with group inquiries.It also played a part not only through word of mouth but also through promotion via social media and parenting communities.

Because they are living intermediary animals, I am convinced they are more helpful than machines.I hope people don’t see horseback riding as just a noble sport. I hope people will think of horseback riding as something that sick children, and all children, can enjoy. Due to several recent incidents, the image of horses and equestrian activities has been deteriorating, but I hope government agencies and organizations promoting the development of the horse industry will continue to provide steady support and organize well.

Even if I started right away, I was thought of as a latecomer, so I became interested in horses that were not yet widely distributed at the time So I majored in speech and behavioral science in graduate school. By chance, I learned about the field of therapeutic riding through an adjunct professor, and although I initially started as a volunteer, when the company I worked for was moving to a different region, I took up the therapeutic riding business on my own and began immersing myself in it.

From the early days of opening, LetsRun Park Busan-Gyeongnam began building relationships with horses through direct interaction.Knowing that a horse-related certification system was being implemented under the Horse Industry Promotion Act, I started trying from the first attempt, but I kept failing at the very end.Actually, I was going to give up on the exam this time. It’s embarrassing that they keep failing at the end, and people in the horse racing industry even wondered why a horse owner is taking a trainer’s exam.

The Players’ Association does not intend to conduct any further interviews.The perception that equestrianism is a noble sport has greatly diminished, but it is unfortunate that the Choi Soon-sil scandal has cast a negative light on equestrianism and led to its denigration. Not only equestrian sports, but all sports disciplines and the sports industry as a whole are bound to regress. I hope that not only young equestrian athletes but also many others will have more opportunities to experience horseback riding.

Whether it was Samsung and Hanwha, that group, contributing 1.5 billion won a year, or 1.6 billion won, or providing support for the association, whatever it was, there was something that benefited the players. Since equestrianism is not supported by the government, without corporate sponsorship, they cannot even compete in competitions, and making it to the Olympics is difficult.Until now, the chair companies have been the Korea Racing Authority, Hanwha, and Samsung. Because they continued to provide funding there,

test008

Although equestrianism is an unpopular sport, it has received investment and contributed to the development of equestrianism in Korea. If Samsung immediately steps down as the chair company, how will the equestrian association be managed right away, and how will next year’s competition be conducted? It makes no sense to demand only Samsung’s resignation without any countermeasures. It is an act that does not consider our equestrian athletes and equestrians.

Your walking speed increases, and your stride lengthens. I’m even getting better at using my upper body. You can get even better through exercise.Horseback riding has already been associated with the image of an imperial sport and a refined sport, but before that, it was an industry based on agriculture. Through therapeutic horseback riding, you can become friends with the horse and receive healing. And only therapeutic horseback riding can develop. It is an undeniable fact that therapeutic riding is built upon the development of equestrianism.

Korean Language Trainers Association, and it feels like a very heavy burden. The training aspect is difficult because both racehorses and riding horses are involved, and the members are scattered all over the country. First, we will devote concentrated effort to combining racehorse training and riding horse training into one. And I will place emphasis on clearly defining what role the aspect of training should play. If it is properly established as the first president,

Our research team is currently studying how therapeutic riding affects Prader-Willi syndrome. Although therapeutic riding is currently perceived as something reserved exclusively for children with cerebral palsy, and most riding centers are reluctant to attempt it, it is hoped that children with Prader-Willi syndrome will also demonstrate improvements in motor function and emotional-behavioral functioning similar to those of children with cerebral palsy, thereby contributing to the broader adoption of therapeutic riding.

Rehabilitation equine therapy” refers to the practice of using horses as animal-assisted therapy to treat mental and psychological disorders as well as physical disabilities. It is generally known to stimulate interest through interaction with large animals such as horses, and to help improve confidence and judgment. It also helps improve concentration. Because it involves interacting with speech while engaging in physical exercise, it is effective not only for stress relief but also for reducing negative emotions,

However, it is true that there is a significant shortage, because sick children are not only in Gyeonggi Province but are found throughout the country.In reality, there are hardly any suitable places for therapeutic horseback riding. I’ve heard that the Korea Racing Authority runs support programs, but it’s not easy to find information, and as far as I know, there aren’t many.Through this therapeutic riding program conducted at Samsung Seoul Hospital, I encountered a horse for the first time.

People who live in Seoul have fewer opportunities to come across horses. If you want to go horseback riding, you have to go to Gyeonggi Province or the outskirts. And there are far fewer places for therapeutic horseback riding than one might think. There are only a few. There are a few places. Even just at Samsung Seoul Hospital, it takes more than an hour.The financial burden outside of working hours cannot be ignored either. Thanks to the clinical trial, I did get to experience therapeutic riding,

Maybe because of that, my child had said since they were little that they wanted to go horseback riding, and they didn’t seem afraid even when riding a real living horse. The reason I became more actively involved when I received an offer from Samsung Seoul Hospital to participate in therapeutic riding was that my child was not afraid of it and enjoyed it.It started in July this year. It was conducted over 15 weeks, twice a week for a total of 30 sessions.

Since it is borderline intellectual disability, it is presumed to be broader in number, as it is judged to be a child with an intellectual disability. Since July 2015, I have been serving as the president of the patient association.It began at the suggestion of Professor Jin Dong-gyu of Samsung Medical Center Seoul Hospital. For my child’s rehabilitation, we didn’t go to a tertiary hospital like Samsung Seoul Hospital, but to a pediatric rehabilitation hospital, and we made sure to attend the Fred Wylie Syndrome Symposium,
