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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The labor-management agreement by the Korea Racing Authority (KRA) to normalize public enterprises can be seen as highly significant because, after the government introduced strong measures to normalize public enterprises, it was the first among them to produce tangible results from efforts to restore proper management while other public enterprises were hesitating.Of course, some voices question whether the Korea Racing Authority, long regarded as a “dream workplace” and the number one aspiration among job seekers, can meet demands for genuine business normalization through swift government action. However, given that labor and management of the Korea Racing Authority, which has declared a second founding and is championing customer-centered management, have agreed on swift normalization measures, it appears that a major wave of innovation can be expected to follow.

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,

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.”

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,

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.

In response, a Korea Racing Authority official said, “Chairman Hyun’s absence from the joint agreement ceremony was due to internal scheduling reasons,” adding, “Chairman Hyun stated that he needs time to make a judgment on the working-level report on the horse training complex development project, so the decision is currently pending.” In addition, “there are matters that need to be finalized internally, such as reviewing our investment capacity and the business environment, and these are currently under review; we have not decided to abandon the project.” He stated, “Once an internal decision is made, we plan to hold talks with Gyeonggi Province soon.”

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
