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.

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,

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.

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,

For city dwellers, horses should be allowed to enjoy the benefits of nature, and leisure horseback riding should be connected with nature for horses to fulfill their proper function and role as an industry in South Korea. And if we make integrated efforts, such as restoring the horse culture and historical records that have existed in Yeongcheon since ancient times, the designation of a special zone will naturally follow.Administration plays the role of igniting the spark so that the horse industry can be revitalized at the private level. We will introduce language suited to the region and circumstances, and support the proper development of infrastructure through administrative support, securing funding, and promoting the project.

We are preparing two events for spring and autumn. The biggest event is holding a symposium. Since it is an association of trainers combining racehorses and riding horses, we will provide training related to the acclimatization and training of racehorses transitioning to riding horses. In addition, since racehorses are currently being produced through various training centers, there are plans to analyze and present the effects of the training process and the differences between horses that received training and those that did not.

Among them, the Korea Racing Authority is most interested in how to handle the taming and training involved in converting racehorses into riding horses. It is a matter that we need to think about together on how to carry out the education in between. There are various areas, including those, that need to be cooperated on. What kind of horse should the Korean-style riding horse be, and how should it go, and so on. We will discuss with the Korea Racing Authority, the Korea Equestrian Federation,

Relying on those things, we have been preparing for the founding. We’ve been preparing for about a year.Establishing a nonprofit corporation requires various forms and procedures. We thoroughly reviewed those matters through the legal affairs officer, and also explained the association’s founding purpose to the relevant official at the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. I will do my utmost to secure approval for the incorporation through a meeting with officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs as soon as possible.

In particular, we will commission a project to create storytelling about the intangible resources of the language, its history, and its traces, so as to reconstruct the erased history and culture of our language from the marks of time. I also see this as one of the administrative roles. Above all, aftercare is important, but administration clearly has its limitations. Therefore, to ensure it is operated effectively, we are conducting demand surveys, strengthening its educational functions, seeking advice from experts, and also revitalizing the Horse Industry Policy Deliberation Committee to guide it in a desirable direction.

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.

Lee Yang-ho, the newly appointed chairman-designate of the Korea Racing Authority, who served as director of the Planning and Coordination Office of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs from February 2012 to March of the following year, was appointed as the 25th head of the Rural Development Administration in March 2013 and served a long-term term of three and a half years until August this year. Although it was his first assignment as head of an institution at the center of agricultural policy,

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,

The Korea Institute of Local Finance emphasized that expanding the leisure tax base to include other similar gambling industries to enhance tax equity and to attribute tax revenue where fiscal demand arises aligns with the government’s efforts to correct its flawed system and corruption, as part of its “normalization of the abnormal.”The Korea Local Tax Research Institute is a research organization funded and operated by Gangwon Province as well as cities, provinces, and districts across the country, and is reportedly reviewing measures such as revising automobile tax rates and expanding the scope of acquisition tax to strengthen the already strained local finances.

To promote the horse-related local industry, we plan to develop products such as cosmetics and commercialize the income-generating byproducts of horses. A specialized horse meat restaurant in Malsukgeori, Wansan-dong, will also open within this year. Also, in September, the racehorse “Star Yeongcheon,” introduced by the city, is set to make its debut at LetsRun Park Seoul. I believe that expanding the base of equestrian riders is the biggest issue. If equestrian activities are promoted so that citizens and the public become aware of the horse industry and grow familiar with horses, the horse industry will soon become a tourism resource. If people come to ride horses, try the experience, and buy local agricultural products, it will help develop the horse industry and also boost the income of local farmers.

Aside from treatments for the current symptoms, there is no single medication for this condition, but it is very important to receive comprehensive, systematic, and specialized care for the various symptoms. It is characterized by decreased muscle tone and excessive appetite, obesity and short stature, hypogonadism, and learning and behavioral disorders in infancy. Due to low back extension, the muscles are weak, scoliosis is likely to develop, and because appetite cannot be properly regulated

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.

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.

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,

The Local Tax Research Institute is pushing for a revision of the automobile tax rates to make the fixed automobile tax on ownership more realistic, and is considering expanding the scope of acquisition tax to include new taxable items such as energy facilities like solar and wind power plants, as well as manufacturing equipment in factories. In addition, reflecting social and economic changes, consideration is also being given to taxing acquisition tax on virtual spaces such as internet domains.Jung Moon-geon, Deputy Director of the Local Tax Research Institute, said, “If local taxes are imposed on the admission of golf courses and similar facilities, it will greatly contribute to strengthening local finances.”

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.
