Riding grounds between river and trees
The riding grounds sit on the riverside flats in Guri, on the border with Seoul, where Wangsukcheon Stream meets the Han River. A breeze comes off the river, and metasequoias line the entrance road. We run the riding grounds while leaving the waterways and trees of the riverside as they are.

The mane flows like a river, and the head always looks ahead.
The logo draws a horse's profile in a single stroke. The line starts at the forehead, curves along the mane and comes back round to form a G.
- G
- The initial of Guri, and the Wangsukcheon Stream and Han River that flow around the riding grounds. The trail that loops around the arenas follows the same curve.
- Flowing mane
- A horse running in the river breeze. The changing thickness of the line expresses the rhythm from walk to canter.
- Head looking ahead
- The posture of a horse that trusts its rider and takes the next step. It also means that beginners and athletes look in the same direction.
- Brush-style lettering
- We give horses and people plenty of time to get used to each other.
Colours from the landscape
All of the club's colours were already here at the riding grounds. We use these four colours on the website, signs and uniforms.
- Forest
- The colour of the metasequoia leaves along the entrance road in summer. Used for the logo and text.
- Sand
- The colour of the outdoor arena footing.
- Roof
- The colour of the clubhouse's red roof. It stands out, so we use it only where needed.
- Fence
- The colour of the white fence around the arenas, used as the background colour.
Three things we keep to
- Horses first
- We watch each horse's expression, body language and condition on the day, and make sure they get enough rest. Lesson content is adjusted to the temperature and ground conditions.
- Daily condition checks
- Leave the landscape as it is
- We preserve the waterways and trees of the riverside. The trail follows paths that were already there.
- Care for what exists rather than build new
- Everyone in the same arena
- As a federation riding grounds, first trial rides and representative athletes' training take place in the same arena.
- You can learn by watching athletes ride up close.
