The city arranged shuttle buses so that people could get to the riding center without a car. The audience is expected to be about ten thousand people. We will make this event a successful festival so that equestrian festivals can be held not only in Gumi but also in other regions.During my time at Hanyang University, there were inexpensive horseback riding lessons during summer vacation at a riding stable near Ttukseom Racecourse. At first, I learned horseback riding through that training course, then began competing as a jockey, and I also represented Korea in the Korea-Japan competition. I was in the cavalry unit in the military as well. That connection continued, and that’s how my life of horseback riding began. While working with the Student Equestrian Association, I have continued horseback riding. Also, as someone who loves horses, I ended up facing it as well. It was very enjoyable to face each other.

We spoke with President Choi Byung-wook about the reasons for the recent hiatus, changes in the association’s policy direction, and its future direction.Since the early days of the Student Equestrian Federation, I had continued to be involved as part of the executive team in related matters. I had been away from the Student Equestrian Association for a while, but my heart was always with the Student Equestrian Association. At the beginning of this year, I was asked by the executive team, which consists of former athletes, to take up the presidency again. I believed that change was necessary not only for the Student Equestrian Association but also for the continued development of equestrianism in Korea. After a considerable period of various discussions with the executive committee of the Student Equestrian Association, we came to the conclusion that promoting youth equestrianism is the most important factor in advancing Korean equestrianism.

Korea's culture is a big problem. People engaged in the cultural sector should be able to live by doing cultural work, but that is not possible. Painters live a normal life by drawing and selling. However, in a transitional capital society, it is difficult. Few artists sell paintings in reality. Popular artists, famous senior artists, and the works of the deceased are sold, but those of young artists are not. Culture is generally difficult. The Moon Jae In government seems to be paying attention to culture, but it still lacks a lot. Even looking at the data on the income level of cultural workers posted on the Internet, the annual income is less than 10 million won.

Horse Association by communicating with the media and the public while promoting the human resources development team, the head of the cultural empathy center, and the new business project. When he served as the head of the human resources development team in 2008, he introduced the transparent and dynamic public enterprise awards of the Korean Horse Association to the public through interviews with employment-related media, and when he served as the head of the Siheung Cultural Sympathy Center in 2011, he played a first-generation role in actively promoting the social contribution project of the "market sales office" through media interviews such as local newspapers and magazines.

Rather, it will be not the development of horse racing, but the regression of stepping back. Rather than direct employment, I think efforts are needed to make up for the shortcomings by referring to the institutional system currently implemented in Let's Run Park Seoul. They say that their minds should change first rather than roles. Although they have invested, there are many faces who want to make a profit right away by watching over a certain period of time. Those thoughts are wrong. A lot of improvement is needed. Horse racing development means that the horse society will eventually grow with the national growth, and the Korean horse racing will go to the G1 and G2 advanced horse racing.

Improving services for horse racing fans is an important project that the Korea Racing Authority has been continuously promoting, but most horse racing fans still express more complaints than satisfaction.From the perspective of the service provider, instead of looking at horse racing fans, they should provide the services horse racing fans want, and that will reduce complaints.At the monthly staff meeting in September, Chairman Hyun Myung-kwan said, “The dream of horse racing customers is to enjoy exciting horse races.” As stated, entering Part II is merely a stepping stone for the satisfaction of horse racing fans, and entering Part II itself should not become the goal. Horse racing should be conducted for horse racing fans.

However, it is not necessarily the only way to learn how to ride horses. Not many of the athletes who are famous in foreign countries have actually succeeded because they are rich. Everyone works hard to learn and continues to develop their talents. In the process, you build up your skills and meet a good sponsor and bring good results. There are only a few top players who succeed with their financial resources. It's not always about buying good horses. The Hanova Horse Racing Authority is a horse-riding center that horses like more than people. People may not like it a little because it's a little far away, but horses feel comfortable.

If a player hosts a competition with high prize money, outstanding players will try to achieve better results, and the number of students who want to ride horses naturally increases. As in all sports, there are also young aspiring athletes who want to catch up after watching their success stories. Equestrian events are the same. I think it's negative. Which company would sponsor horseback riding at this point in time? It is difficult to get support even in a good atmosphere, and it is questionable whether the company can make official investments at a time when companies and businessmen involved in horseback riding are targeted.

Koreans are certainly talented people. If you have an opportunity to ride horses or learn, I recommend you do as much as you can. Korea is recognized for its ability in various areas. In some areas, it may be the world's top. I hope the juniors will think that we can do it rather than thinking that we can't. First of all, the crisis of Korean horseback riding seems to be right now. The biggest problem is that there are no students to lead as leaders right now. Many athletes must be produced and developed together, but there are no new athletes after the Choi Soon-sil incident. For professional sports athletes, it is a matter of livelihood.

Even young children can tell whether they are good enough or not. However, when there are several people who cannot ride together, it is difficult to find out who is good at riding. That is only when experts' judgment is needed. In general, horses that run high and fast are good for obstacles. In dressage, horses that have large movements and move as if they are dancing are good horses. An athlete is a good rider who rests well on a horse without much fluctuation. There is no need to think hard about horseback riding. Hwang Sun-won said, "Recently, I feel more of a crisis facing the horseback riding world after the Choi Soon-sil incident.

Since the enactment of the Horse Industry Promotion Act, various government policy supports have been provided domestically to foster a horseback riding boom, and local governments have been entering the horseback riding business. Alongside the Korea Equestrian Federation, the Korea Student Equestrian Association, which has steadily laid the foundation for revitalizing elite equestrianism in Korea, has been maintaining an even more transformed image starting this year.Chairman Choi Byung-wook is at the center of the changes in the Student Equestrian Association. Choi Byung-wook, a former equestrian athlete who laid the foundation of the Korea Student Equestrian Association from the ground up, has broken the silence and taken up the presidency again, presenting the Korea Student Equestrian Association with a clear direction: revitalizing youth equestrianism, which serves as the foundational work for the sustained development of not only student equestrianism but also Korean equestrianism.

And when I went on a horse, I thought I wanted to try it, so I started riding it every weekend as a hobby. My wife had been an equestrian for several years when I was a student. I've been working very hard over the years, so when I was playing D-class, my wife ran S-class. I'm not currently a player. My daughter is a senior in high school, and she's a dressage training player at the Valios Horseback Riding Club. It was a very short period of time. There was a little bit of dressage at the horse racing course specializing in dressage, and even the stumbling block has to learn the basic dressage. However, it's not a personal favorite sport.

But he was gentle compared to an ordinary Holsteiner. That was only for people. He was very aggressive towards other horses, especially Sumal. He even threw his front paws up when he ran into him while passing by. He was very nice to people, but he was very rough with horses. Lilibro' was my second horse, which I rode at the same time as 'Seed Chaps'. 'Libro' was definitely a horse with great ability, but it had a slightly lazy side. That's why he tended to cross obstacles well. Personally, it means a lot to me. It was a horse that contributed greatly to earning mileage by participating in various European competitions. He was registered as a reserve horse during the Olympics. Later, he came to Korea and worked.

There are four equestrian-related universities in the Gyeongbuk region: Kyungpook National University, Seorabeol University, Seongdeok University, and Pohang University. They created their own events within their respective regions so that, when participating in competitions, they could attend with only their own transportation costs.To create a festival that Gumi City and the general public can enjoy together, various events with horse-related themes were prepared. First, a guidebook containing tips and precautions for watching the games will be produced and distributed to enhance understanding of the event, and family visitors with young children are also expected to be attracted through activities such as a “Pretty Words” contest and a mini hose photo zone.

First of all, getting a ticket to the Olympics was difficult, but the process of getting a ticket to the Olympics was also difficult. This is because we had to perform well at a number of Grand Prix events rather than performing well in one or two events. Perhaps this is why the athletes training together for the Olympics at the time wondered if advancing to the Olympics could become a reality. The coaches, coaches, and sponsors must have felt the same way at the time. The wall of the world was too high, and Korean horseback riding was far behind him. Going to the Olympics was originally a dream because horseback riding was not only in good condition,

Some went in psychoanalytically and looked at my painting and said, "Libido." After hearing that interpretation, I found it interesting when people asked me why I'm drawing horses later, and they answered me like that. In fact, I was thinking about how to put natural energy into the indoor space and relieve the tension caused by it. You don't deserve to ride a horse called Jeong Yu. It is questionable whether you will feel the mental vitality of a horse even if you ride a horse. Since I've been riding a lot, I think I can feel the fun of riding a horse and know what riding a horse is, but I don't think I'll be impressed and grateful by the horse.

Previously, it was just a cafe, but the walls were opened and widened for a little to display the paintings. I thought that would be more colorful. I simply drew it because I liked the animal, but there are people who attach interpretations to it. I just drew it because I wanted to attract 'wild' and 'the power of nature'. There are many paintings of horses running in the field. It is the same for ancient books and foreign paintings. In particular, oriental painting draws many horses running in the field. However, it was not fun to draw horses running in the same field. Horses are animals that like to run in the field and run well, but there was no tension and nothing much when they were flattened on the painting in one dimension.

We should be able to maintain a minimum life through work activities, but we try to forget about pure literature and not think about it. The Shin Kyung-sook writer scandal is also an extension of this problem. It was not a completely pure literature nor a public one, but it was urgent and caused a division. And few writers are now popular in books. Like in the old days. "A Horse Outside the Door" depicts a horse coming from outside the door facing a woman. Lee Je-ha said the work could contain a message of returning to nature, and it was intended to express a strange feeling when heterogeneous beings face each other due to the appearance of both female and male horses.

That's why I started literature. Originally, I wrote poetry in middle school. At that time, there was a magazine called 'academy', and it was the only magazine during the Korean War. Poets were published through 'academy', and they were elected in one or two places. Hwang Dong-gyu and Ma Jong-ki, who are poets, are alumni who were active through 'academy'. As I did this and that for my life, novels became my main focus. But now, people don't read novels, so I don't write them well. People don't read books, so they don't sell and the publishing industry is in recession. When I was young, I used to write with passion and willpower, but the problem is that books are not sold, so they are not helpful to life at all.

Novel manuscript fees are poor, so manuscript fees alone cannot make a living. For such reasons, not only me but also many writers have side jobs, such as attending school to give lectures or serving as an editor of a publishing company. I wrote novels, did this and that, and worked in the movie industry. As I loved movies so much, I started collecting videos, but as it became known, a media company asked me for a "movie column." I had to write a story about what I saw in the movie, but it was much easier than writing a novel. After writing a novel like that, I wrote a movie column for 2-3 years.

October, when autumn leaves start to turn red, is the most emotional time of the year. A collection of poems can be found on the empty side behind the colorful fall scenery. In October, the month of culture, we prepared a project to listen to stories of artists dealing with culture and art works based on horses. First of all, we met Lee Je-ha, a veteran novelist, poet, painter and singer. Unlike other works, he often uses horses, but he uses static words rather than words. I tried to shed new light on the words that he viewed through his creative activities in all areas, including literature and art.
