Default Colonel John to Korea

http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...-korea-in-2017

I'm posting the article purely because of this gem of a comment someone left:

"any idea if they have English- or Spanish-speaking grooms for them there? pretty sure our horses don't understand Korean, would hate to see them punished for misbehaving, when they simply don't understand what's being asked of them"

It's true, our horses don't understand Korean.

Neither do I which gives me a pass to watch HRTV which my in-laws get on their cable when I go visit. At least no one made Bulgogi jokes about Colonel John.

I hear that translator ponies are pretty standard there, so there is nothing to worry about.
