Horsetopia - Run Fast, Live Slow

Horsetopia is a horse theme park in Yeongcheon South Korea. Half of the 1,474,883㎡ site is dedicated to horse racing and the other half is dedicated to horse-related activities. This proposal is a multi-disciplinary approach to create a sustainable and profitable park. It aims to elevate the status of horse racing in the next 10 years.

Urban people live a “fast” life but all desire to live at a “slower” pace. Horsetopia targets urban customers who are seeking an alternative lifestyle.

Horse is a reflection of our desire to balance between “fast” and “slow”. Horsetopia will inspire people to treat nature as playground and horses as our companions. It aims to bring passion and tranquility to people, horses and nature.
