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

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.

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.

test008

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,

test008

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. 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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

test008

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,

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.

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.

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.
