We also aim to expand the base of equestrian riders to connect with tourism resources and products.At major tourist attractions in Yeongcheon, such as Chisan Tourist Site, family members are also offered horseback riding experiences, and administrative support is sparedlessly provided to foster the perception that visitors to Yeongcheon can ride horses. Above all, Mayor Kim Young-seok’s outstanding drive, the passion of the Horse Industry Promotion Group and city hall staff, and the strong spirit of the citizens are providing great strength for the development and growth of Yeongcheon’s horse industry.Our city has many livestock farms. Most of them raise cattle, pigs, and the like, and the fundamental purpose is to use the horse industry as an alternative sector to livestock farming, which is most affected by the era of FTAs.

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.

Ultimately, there is growing concern that the Local Tax Research Institute’s call to expand the scope of leisure tax exemptions could be used as a means to replenish depleted local government finances, raising fears that under the guise of expanding local finances, there may even be demands for further increases in the leisure tax.The Korea Institute of Local Finance (KILF), which opened in April 2011, is an organization funded by contributions from 244 local governments. It operates to promote fiscal decentralization and achieve fiscal independence by researching ways to advance local taxation and local finance, as well as local economic issues and challenges.

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,

According to the current Korean horse racing system, there is no particular correlation between the owner and the trainer. I can't do the encounter and the trainer at the same time. At present, owners entrust their horses to trainers or handlers for training, but in the future, I believe that, as in other countries, owners should carry out basic taming and training of their horses at their own farm or training center.I also think that if the owner understands the characteristics of their own words, they can choose a trainer and handler that suit those words.

Over the past ten years, the results have always ranked within the top 10 in both the wins and prize money categories. I challenged the major and special races countless times, but third place was my best result. Most horse owners, no matter how good their horses are in regular races, would probably wish at least to stand on the podium once.After failing and being crushed dozens of times more myself, I came to the realization that I was not meant to be with them, and that I should give up the path of a master and focus on business instead.

Therefore, the horse industry must be linked to the income of local farmers. What local farmers feel firsthand is more important than anything else. Revitalizing the local economy and creating jobs are also important.To ensure the smooth opening of Yeongcheon Race Park, where related construction and projects are currently underway, we will work closely with the Korea Racing Authority (KRA) and Gyeongsangbuk-do to create a world-class, high-quality park.It also aims to build a prosperous Yeongcheon based on the horse industry by establishing infrastructure for horse racing and horseback riding—often called the crown jewel of the horse industry—as well as training, auctions, and specialized personnel.

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.

To promote the horse industry solidly, the Yeongcheon Citizens’ Equestrian Team, the largest in the country with 114 members across six divisions, was established and began operations in 2012. In addition, the team has built an organic cooperation system by signing industry-academia-research agreements with Kyungpook National University, various academic societies, and social enterprises. In particular, to establish a foundation for the horse industry, we are currently constructing the country’s first regional riding center for riding horses with mounted horses, equipped with indoor and outdoor training facilities, an auction hall, an education center, and a breeding center, near Unjusan Riding Ranch. For the industrialization of horses, it is especially important to utilize horse by-products to increase added value and link it to farm household income.

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.

You could say that 1.5 billion is a small amount, but if that is paid every year, the company would have to be quite large. The Korea Racing Authority says it’s a company related to horses, but. Samsung and Hanwha were supported because the previous chairman enjoyed horseback riding. It won’t be easy for another company, which has nothing to do with horses, to take on the role of president of the equestrian association.We are players. I have absolutely no intention of getting involved in politics.

test008

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,

Students who compete while attending university pursue the dream of definitely trying out for the next Asian Games selection trials, balancing schoolwork and sports.They provided support in every aspect, starting with training camps, while preparing for the Olympics. Because Samsung spent money and provided support for the development of equestrian sports to that extent, we were able to participate in the Olympics and the Asian Games. I could have won a medal too.

Most of the students have been exercising since they were young, and even now, while attending school, they find time to work out. None of the athletic special talents do it like Jung Yura.Among the students I’m teaching right now, there is a friend who is attending university. I go to Hanyang University, and on Mondays and Tuesdays I attend classes all day. So I couldn't come today. I’ll have class tomorrow too, and then I’ll come to work out after 3 p.m. She weighs all the factors about the workouts she wants to do,

Kim Jong-su (47), acting mayor of Yeongcheon, was inaugurated last October as the 13th deputy mayor of Yeongcheon. Originally from Uiseong, Gyeongbuk, he passed both the 33rd National Technical High School Examination and the 3rd Local High School Examination in 1997, and later served as head of the FTA Measures Division for the rice industry and head of the Agricultural Policy Division at the Gyeongsangbuk-do Department of Agriculture and Fisheries. In particular, in 2011, while also serving as head of the Yeongcheon Racecourse Park Construction Support Group, he has been regarded as an administrator well-versed in the horse industry, and with Mayor Kim Young-seok running in the June 4 local elections, he has been acting mayor of Yeongcheon since April.

Not long ago, there was a Chairman’s Cup equestrian competition in Sangju, and at that competition, we held the General Assembly of the Players’ Association. We briefed the players on the contents of the press conference held at the National Assembly and discussed how the Players’ Association would respond. We decided to watch the press conference video, correct only the incorrect parts, and express our players’ side of the opinions. This is not a matter of fighting.

test008

How good a story is to us that we demanded an apology from the president from the equestrian. And I fully understand the content of the press conference they gave about the harm they suffered because of Choi Soon-sil. From their perspective, it must be incredibly unfair that while they were watching the referee, Executive Director Park Won-oh came down and said something, and then they couldn’t watch the referee from the start.

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.

test008

I requested an interview because there are parts of the content that differ from what our players think. I cannot agree at all with the part of the statement that tells Samsung and Hanwha to leave the equestrian world. I may not know of any other concrete way to deal with the Equestrian Federation or its executives, but I disagree with the way they are responding to this situation emotionally without any plan.It is the part that demanded the resignation of Samsung, the current chairman company of the Equestrian Federation.

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.

For example, if people volunteer for therapeutic horseback riding here, Yongin City should provide coupons that allow them to ride horses at other riding centers, or something along those lines. This is called the socio-economic domain.Promotion of therapeutic horseback riding is also needed. The general public does not know much about therapeutic horseback riding. First, you’d have to know about therapeutic riding before you could find it, wouldn’t you? Also, in each local government, there are riding arenas affiliated with each city or county,

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.

Ministry of Employment and Labor to create social enterprises, and from the very beginning, this company has made therapeutic riding its main product.In a typical company, the purpose is profit, and the purpose of welfare is to provide a welfare system. It refers to a form of enterprise that provides welfare services as an intermediate stage while pursuing profit. While a regular company can simply distribute its retained earnings as dividends,
