test008

Like fate, Ham Wan-sik was born in the year of the end of 1978. The youngest of three siblings, Ham was a loyal man who died at a friend's age and lived at a friend's house. Friends from school still remain strong partners in life where they can meet and drink alcohol freely. And at that time, I learned the job as a jockey for the first time at Sunrin High School, where I followed my friend. I think it was Ahn Byeong-ki. Next to Ahn holding a trophy, his past record of winning a horse race, and how much prize money he earned.... These words were written, and they looked really cool. After entering the school, I looked carefully at the recruitment notice on the job bulletin board for jockeys. At that time, however, there was a strong perception that the animal 'horse' was the exclusive property of the rich, and I just passed it over thinking that it would be a distant world affair.

On May 18, 2014, Ham Wan-sik became a rookie horse, "Yesin-roboo," who is just about to race for the second time. Despite his good body shape and high expectations, the horse was a rookie horse that cannot be guaranteed the championship. He kicked out of the gate with excellent quickness, but already lost the lead to rival horse "Dong Jin Tae-hoo." Ham Wan-sik boldly gave up his good deeds and chose to follow the lead. As soon as he entered the final race, he collided with his opponent, who was leaning inward, and another crisis struck. In a desperate situation where his steps could die, Ham quickly set his course inward and pushed ahead. "Yesin-roboo" also took a powerful leap forward in response to Ham Wan-sik's push, and crossed the finish line first.

Just as he thought everything was going smoothly, the rider's fate and main injury hit him. In fact, injuries, both large and small, have occurred before. In the fall accident, which took place not long after he was discharged from the military, the goggles that he was wearing penetrated into the horse's feet and fractured his nose. Talking about the situation at the time, rider Ham Wan-sik smiled and said, "I'm so lucky I didn't hurt my eyes." However, the level was different this time. In the 9th race of October 5, 2013, the "get stutter" where Ham Wan-sik was riding was running around the second corner when he tripped over the back leg of the horse. He was following the horse while he was in the middle of the race, and decided that three or four more would come after him unconditionally. He was rolling into the fence thinking he needed to stay alert, and three of them passed by him in an instant.

At first, he lavishly poured money on what he was curious about, what he wanted to do, and what he wanted to buy. One day, when I was losing track of time, I suddenly wondered what I was doing. Looking at the piles of footprints on the road he walked, rider Ham Wan-sik came to his senses. The hard times and the moments when he tried so hard to get here came to mind. He shaved his head and made a firm commitment, and for about two months he only focused on training and riding without going outside the racetrack. Unlike now, a new rider was not easily given a chance to ride a horse at the time. Even if I rode a so-called 'shock horse', I often couldn't sleep at night on the eve of the race to see how I would get out of the gate and react to certain variables. It was also important for the assistant teacher to catch on.

From the first week of April, aspiring jockey had to go through physical examinations, physical examinations, personality tests, and adaptation tests. He felt he could never pass by recklessly attacking him, but at the time, he was in a situation where he could not focus on exercise for months. However, he could not give up. Ham Wan-sik, who was learning to work early, got off six or seven stops before going to work on a temporary basis and sprinted to his company to strengthen his stamina. And from a month before the test, I started training and built my body. Efforts are not betrayed, and in the end, rider Ham Wan-sik ranked first and second alongside rider Lee Jong-seop in the physical fitness test. The only thing left after passing other tests without difficulty was the horse-riding adaptation test. The horse was first seen by the rider Ham Wan-sik, who had never been to Jeju Island since he was born.

In other places, it returned to normal to some extent, but the shoulder blade was the problem. I had to screw the cracked bone and fix it, but I couldn't guarantee success easily because it was a place where nerves and muscles were concentrated. After exercising, the pain gradually decreased and the angle was found. Since then, rider Ham Wan-sik has been in full-fledged rehabilitation. When I heard the sound of horse hooves during rest, my heart pounded and my whole body itching. There are unique feelings that can only be felt when I get on a horse. I missed it so much. What can I do if I do something else now? This is the last thing for me. The rider Ham Wan-sik has been constantly building his body by repeating hospitalization and outpatient treatment. At first, it was difficult enough to release the muscles on the injured side when he was riding a flag, but now he says there is nothing that matters unless he pulls his horse or goes too far.

The opportunity to climb one by one increased, and the other horses of the stable rode one by one, expanding their scope. There was no truly "one horse" that could wait a month, but I was grateful that I could ride it and tried. Meanwhile, assistant teacher Lee Shin-young reached out to the rider Ham Wan-sik, opening the 14th Article of Mabang. It was a win-win cooperation for assistant teacher Lee Shin-young, who had just set foot in the horse racing world, and for the rider Ham Wan-sik, who needed a chance to rise. When Ham Wan-sik's accumulated skills were combined with the good words of assistant teacher Lee Shin-young, he began to draw an upward trend as if he were flying.

As soon as I thought I passed it well, my body bounced off the sound of the horse kicking the ground, and the last horse literally hit the horseman-style rider and passed by. This all happened in a second or two. For a moment, my eyes became white. I opened my eyes and they were still alive. I thought my head was okay, but I couldn't breathe, so I lost my mind while trying to say something. I was out of breath, but I think it was because I was talking and running out of oxygen. On my way to the hospital, I talked and fainted several times.The rider Ham Wan-sik suffered a major injury in which his shoulder and rib bones were broken and his diaphragm was bleeding. Whenever he breathed, his lungs were bleeding, so he put on a ventilator and a blood-draining hose and lasted for three days. It was a life-and-death situation, so it was a season out. He had a long treatment period.

What started from the bottom was the driving force that enabled him to endure until now. Knowing the process and the reality gave him the strength to rebound and climb back up even in the face of a crisis. If he had started from the top, he would have wandered for a long time at a loss from the slump that was inevitably coming. It is thought that he has always recorded steady performance, but in fact, rider Ham Wan-sik once tasted the end of his slump. Negative rumors and speculations have circulated that "Ham Wan-sik's horse is retreating" when he thinks he has settled down to some extent in the world of jockeys. The racetrack was where the power of a horse (言) is absolutely as much as that of a horse. Even if he complains of injustice, only those around him can know the truth, and his reputation that has already fallen to the bottom showed no signs of recovering easily.

He suddenly told me to jump on the horse and stand on it. So I just grabbed a mane and a saddle strap and jumped up. Suddenly, when I got on a horse and looked around, there were quite a few people who couldn't climb, whining unexpectedly. Soon after, I came back after spending some time on a horse running on a treadmill, and Jang Il-ki (currently head of the Equestrian & Gisaeng Promotion TF team), who was watching this scene, asked me, "Have you ever ridden a horse when it was smooth?" To the rider Ham Wan-sik, who came in determined to bury his bones, the words of team leader Jang at the time were happier than any other compliment. The first step toward the rider seemed to start so smoothly.

Hahm Wan-sik, who received his first salary as a jockey, was caught up in a complicated mood. His family was not well off. My parents, who had to feed their three siblings, were not comfortable enough to take care of Ham Wan-sik, the youngest rider. When friends went to buy famous maker's sneakers, Ham Wan-sik would sneak out of the store and wait for them. When his sneakers became old and worn out, he took 30,000 won from his mother and went to Dongdaemun alone to buy sneakers. So he was able to save money, give pocket money to his parents, and present high-end sneakers to his friends. At such a young age, I think I couldn't afford it because I had such a large amount of money. I feel like I'm struggling with my neck for no reason, and I have a lot of immature thoughts."

Ham Wan-sik, a third grader in high school who is looking for his career path in earnest, was no exception. I wanted to enter the job front as soon as possible and make money because I had stood out in my finance major. His physical education teacher recommended that he apply as a jockey. He recalled the poster he had seen at the time of enrollment, as he liked sports even in everyday life. I couldn't miss it. Numerous students who were looking for employment competed fiercely for two applications for jockey candidates who flew to the school. Among them, Ham Wan-sik, a jockey, won the 1st place in the physical fitness test with his ability to start, and he applied as a candidate. I later found out, but I was able to get many applications when I visited the jockey association.

As a free rider, Ham Wan-sik, who literally flopped in the air, had to have a harder chance to ride the boat than when he was a rookie. There were times when I rode a horse in a week, and there were many days when I spent it with the ball because I didn't have a horse to train. However, it couldn't collapse like this. Ham Wan-sik, the flag bearer, said he would ride the Article 53 horse, which most riders cannot easily challenge. Regardless of whether he was a colt or a villain, he started training from the beginning. It was a winter. I bit my teeth in the wind that made my back of my hand blister and almost ripped my face apart. I was confident in myself. I am not this kind of person who will die, but I am a human being who can follow him right behind me even though I am not as good as natural geniuses. I came all the way here from the bottom, and I thought, "What can I not do again?"
