Due to prejudice against the horse industry, we met by chance, but when we saw "Seokseth Story" playing an active role in Dubai, we felt proud to face each other. It is now a great joy and fun to work in the horse industry, one of the pillars of Korea's industry, he said. "I think I did a really good job after facing each other. It's the best choice in my life." As for the secret to maintaining good grades, he said, "There are not many things we can actually face each other," and added, "Basically, I trust the assistant teachers and managers. Trust is the most important thing." The reason why he performed so well in Dubai was also emphasized, "It's not because I did it, but because of the assistant teachers and managers who did all the hard work, such as not sleeping at night and managing.

I learned how to handle horses at the Hong Kong Jockey Club, where horse management is operated in the traditional British way for a long time, and went to various places. I read a lot of foreign books on the psychology and behavior of horses. I don't know much about the situation because I can't ride it as well as athletes, but I have a lot of books on how to handle horses under the saddle and the psychology and communication of horses. You can read a lot of books as a basis for researching that much, not being proud. In addition, there is a hope that Korean equestrian will be exposed to a lot of books on horses. Rather than doing something that will be awarded, I think that messages of horse welfare and respect for life have been recognized by gaining sympathy and favor from readers through books and blogs.

Personally, I think the horserace has a duty to retrain its riders. A horse that has been retired from the race should be trained on a horse that is healthy, people-friendly, and not overly excited. Retired racehorses are highly likely to hurt their joints, scared, surprised, and sensitive because they carry out tremendous exercise in adolescence. Retired racehorses should be provided with appropriate protection and a safe environment to build trust while understanding their anxious psychological conditions. However, even retired racehorses, which have been trained as riders, are not suitable for beginners who are new to horseback riding. I hope the upper and lower levels of horse riding will handle it.In Hong Kong, 30 to 50 horses are retired every month, but when racehorses entering the racetrack are retired,

The opposition committee held a news conference and criticized Chung's order to come up with new measures instead of holding the Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Ministry and the Korean Horse Association accountable. It also argued that Chung should immediately hold the two organizations accountable and withdraw the relocation of the over-the-counter sales office in Yongsan.Meanwhile, horse industry officials have raised the argument that the actual normal operation should be guaranteed in order to conduct an accurate and fair evaluation with the formation of a pilot operation evaluation committee for the over-the-counter sales office in Yongsan. With the current pilot operation limited to the three floors, even if the evaluation committee admits to the opening, there is a high probability that the opposition will raise the issue again.

Usually, when you wake up in the morning, you feed them, clean the stall, and check their temperature, pulse, and breath to know the condition of the horse. Then, you do solo grooming, dig your hooves, move to a working machine, or warm up and work out together. If you sweat, you take a bath and fill up the hay mesh. Then, I let them graze here and there. It's a routine, although it's always flexible. When I first went to the Korean equestrian rink, I was surprised by the corn. In foreign horse races, even beginners learn without cones in a large horse racecourse, and adults learn how to ride the horse with a pony at first. Some horse races in Korea are divided into corn or iron pipes. I thought it would be a dangerous environment if a rider falls. Of course, not all foreign countries are in a good environment,

It said it will establish a basic plan by the end of August and reflect the results of overseas case investigations, and then finalize the innovation plan for over-the-counter sales office after consultation with related agencies such as the Enforcement Industry Integration Supervision Committee and the Korea Racing Authority. Although the government has actively intervened, Prime Minister Chung Hong-won has stepped up to resolve social conflicts related to the over-the-counter sales office in Yongsan, the response from the opposition committee is still cold. The opposition committee expressed distrust that it is trying to give indulgence to the Horse Association in connection with Prime Minister Chung's order to come up with measures.

This book is the first step to becoming friends with horses. "Happy Horse Riding" was possible because of her, Kate Park, an author who believes that she can overcome the prejudices and limitations of species and communicate with horses through constant effort. Kate Park, who is talking with glossy horses under the indigo blue sky of Jeju's middle mountain range, headed to Jocheon-eup at once to meet her. I would like to start a February romance with Horswisper and Kate Park in Jeju. In general, horses have lived in a natural state, so they thought that the natural hills and hills were suitable for horses to live in. The spaces of the Jocheon Majang made efforts not to damage the environment of Jeju.

Members of the Pukyeong Horse Association, which is largely divided into Seoul, Jeju, and other regions, showed considerable interest in the horse racing system and the horse racing industry as a whole, with more than 70 people attending the Pukyeong Horse Racing Seminar, which was held for the second time since last year's first member seminar.Co-operatives. It refers to a non-profit organization in which farmers and small and medium-sized business owners, who are economically weak, gather to purchase, produce, sell, and consume goods in cooperation. There have been no cooperatives in the horse industry. Although the union was promoted mainly by some representatives of horse racing courses, it is still sluggish due to the practical problem of not sympathizing with the union's philosophy of pursuing "non-profit" or not finding a leader.

Since the late 1980s, I have been taking my children with me to volunteer. Perhaps because of the impact, my children are still not stingy in making donations. One time, I went to volunteer with my oldest daughter to support her. After my parents passed away and I was a student living with my grandmother, but after my grandmother passed away, I had nowhere to go. Then the oldest daughter said, "Dad, I have nowhere to go, can you stay with me?" and asked me about it. We were together like that, and I came forward to find my birth mother. After searching, I found out that my mother was in Japan, and I guaranteed her and sent her to her to my birth mother in Japan with the cooperation of the school teachers. I later heard that she had a hard time going there, but she is still close friends with her eldest daughter.

In fact, I couldn't study. The school expelled me for not paying tuition even though I finished the middle school curriculum. I was a field engineer and started working part-time at a casting factory in Yeongnam in the second year of middle school. Working so hard in the field, I was given the role of building a government complex in 1970, and I helped. After completion, I was awarded the highest engineer's commendation at the Government Complex. I was working with a German engineer at that time, and I wanted to know advanced technology of Germany. But whenever a German worked, he locked the door and didn't teach me the technology. So I learned it while staring at the ceiling in four places. A German fought me, went back to his country, and worked with the technology I saw.

When I asked the islanders, they said they needed musical instruments such as Punggeum. At that time, Punggeum was about 1.5 million won, but they sent it to school at their own expense. When I visited the school in Ijakdo to deliver the traditional Korean traditional music, all the students lined up on the playground and clapped their hands in gratitude. It was so touching to see students come out to the playground and applaud even though it was a cold winter. And when can someone like me who has lived only in the industrial field as an engineer speak to the students while standing at the church? A few days later, I was impressed once more. I went home and students from Ijakdo sent some 70 to 80 thank-you letters.

Before I got hurt, I felt like I was shedding tears, but it's sad to think about it. I could have gotten rehabilitation treatment these days. It's a pity that I couldn't care about my business at the time. If I were the person I am now, I would never have let him participate. After he died, he served 49 times and erected a monument on his birthplace. In 2013, he also paid 3 million won to build a statue of Mr. Park in Busan and South Gyeongsang Province. In fact, he had been volunteering since the early 1980s. Back then, he started volunteering while working for the Lions Club, but as he did volunteer work, he became interested in the scholarship project. Now, the number of Lions club members has increased and the number of districts has increased,

I asked him to allow me to live comfortably on the ranch where he was born after treatment without euthanasia, but he said that it was difficult to treat in reality, so I had to euthanize him. In the U.S., there was a similar case with a broken leg, and he said that he had treated him for six months, but he failed in the end. He euthanized him because he thought he was suffering only from words. Some people said that he was trying to get insurance. Some people say that they don't even get insurance if they are over the age of 5. The misunderstanding was resolved only when an explanation message was posted that "Mr. Park" is not eligible for insurance and that insurance is not available.

Many of the faces voluntarily donate and contribute to society, but among them, Kwak Jong-soo, better known as the face of 'Mr. Park', stands out. I visited Kwak Jong-soo's office in Seocho-gu, Seoul for an interview on the 24th of last month. When I entered the room, I was filled with various citations and appreciation plaques. What stood out was the certificate of appreciation I received from the National Tax Service. As an entrepreneur, I felt like I had fulfilled my duty to pay sincere tax. I met and talked with Kwak Jong-soo, who practices the spirit of Noblesse Oblige. I have been together since the opening of Let's Run Park Busan and South Gyeongsang Province in 2004. I received two horses from Oh Sang-cheol of the Triple Crown Ranch I was close to at the time.

Horses are the closest pets to humans, pets. At one point, when I had a horse, I would turn on music every morning to wake them up. If you are a true lover, you should know that it is important to see your horse's breathing and see your own breath and ride a horse instead of letting them work hard. Before riding a horse, I talk to a horse and walk for about 30 minutes. Horses understand all that. Isn't that what you mean? Koo Ja-woon, a horse riding in Haman County Horseback Riding Park. He was a true lover who studied horses for a long time, raised horses, and joined horses. At 82 years old, he was a child and a child of his own. "Kiss," the sweetest, said it is important to communicate with horses for 30 minutes before riding. After getting off the horse,

This is to express his gratitude to the employees here for their hard work for the county residents. When asked what is another advantage of Haman-gun Horse Racing Park, he summarized it in one word, "There are no sick horses." Some of the horses that have been applied are not suitable for beginners, but the place is paying special attention, such as reassignment. He also did not miss out on the exercise effects and functions of horseback riding. "The best exercise for mental and physical health is horseback riding," he said, stressing that many people regard it only as a high-end sport, but it should be popularized. When I visited Italy, I saw a private horse riding center and a stallion facility, and it was impressive that the members rode horses for their own exercise without stopping.

After doing some research, I came across the fact that I like to take a bath the day after tomorrow when horses are being molted, and I like the sand of Hapcheon Lake especially, so I even airlifted them myself and made horse baths and swimming pools. I was so happy to go near a sleeping horse and read books and drink tea. Whenever he comes to ride a horse, he brings a carrot and sugar for the horse. He is grateful for the words that protect his health and give up his back for him. The horses carrying Koo Ja-woon also seemed to express gratitude to him with their eyes. I was lucky to meet the Haman-gun Horseback Riding Park, where I can ride my favorite horse at any time in my old age, said Koo Ja-woon. He said, "Haman-gun Horseback Riding Park is a great blessing for our county residents.

He seemed to have met a noble, not a native speaker. Nowadays, everyone communicates with horses, but in fact, it is rare to see people who love horses that much. The 82-year-old seemed to be a pure child when he talked and kissed horses. He seemed very happy. As expected, Koo Ja-woon is said to have studied horse physiology and diseases since the 1980s as a doctor's family. From 1982 to 1991, he served as the head of the Korean Horse Racing Authority, supported horse racing at the 86 Asian Games and 88 Olympic Games, and was able to do so thanks to the constant support and encouragement of former chairman Lee Kun-young, who moved the Ttukseom Racecourse to Gwacheon.

Penakova is always sold at the same price in all dealerships and reaches consumers at a reasonable price. If consumers know that, they will not ask for a discount. I hope you look at it as a general sports brand, not a horse-riding suit. With the development of the patch for horse-riding clothing, it is becoming more fashionable than the old clunky feeling. Even if the general public just wears it regularly, it is developing to the point where it is difficult to distinguish horse-riding clothes. Since the horse-riding suit itself fits so well, you may feel like you are wearing jeans. In this way, I hope it will be a horseback riding suit where we can dress up in our clothes and come back home.

Then, a proposal was made through an agency that handles horseback riding, and recently, the Korean brand has officially entered a shop inside the Crane Horseback Riding in Japan. It's a bittersweet feeling as it is appreciated that Japanese horsemen recognize and visit us first rather than Korean horsemen. It's not that Japanese horsemen don't wear European horseback riding clothes, but they basically shop reasonably. It seems that ordinary horsemen evaluate the feeling and function of wearing them rather than brands. Running for a few months in Japan was more effective in promoting Penakova than running for four years in Korea. I can see that Korean athletes are now interested in Penakova horseback riding after seeing that Japanese athletes who participated in European competitions will wear Penakova horseback riding clothes.

While it is important to promote the horse industry itself, fashion companies may first expose horse riding clothes and fashion to promote the horse industry. Just as those who do not play golf wear golf as their daily clothes, and those who do not go to the mountains wear hiking clothes as their daily clothes, ordinary people can enjoy wearing horseback riding clothes as their daily clothes. Just as people who do not go to the mountains wear hiking clothes and think about going to the mountains, people who do not go to the mountains wear horseback riding clothes and then ride horses. If the horse industry also turns their attention to fashion, there is certainly an opportunity to expose the horse industry to the general public.

Now I feel light. Not only is it good for men, but it is also beneficial for men and women of all ages. Instead, you should ride it safely. A person who is new to a horse and can barely walk should not run and run all of a sudden. If that happens, of course, it is a problem. However, if you know how to handle horses and speed up safely when you have a certain ability to ride horses, you can enjoy horseback riding in your 80s, not in your 60s and 70s. Even if you look at foreign cases, older people enjoy horseback riding. And in Korea, although older people cannot go hiking due to leg pain, if you know how to ride a horse a little, you can go out. Each local government is also making many rides, and since the rides are not necessarily for running, I think it will establish itself as a decent leisure for the elderly.

When I first rode a horse, I felt that it was a really good exercise. As I learned and rode a horse in earnest, I fell in love with an animal called a horse. In the past, I thought horseback riding was dangerous because it was about handling horses. Now that I think about it, it is a ridiculous thing to say. Since I had such thoughts in the past, it is natural that most people who don't know think so. However, you can ride it safely enough. And it seems that the news about horses in various media also plays a part. This is because the appearance of horses known through the media shows many bad things rather than good things. Most of the reports are negative, such as the news of a horse falling while riding a horse or the fact that the horse escaped the ranch and ran down the road.

On the day of the interview, Choi Byung-bu, the face-to-face, looked at the safety of "Triple Nine" in person and showed special affection. There are many reasons why "Triple Nine" was able to come this far, including good management, but most of all, I think it is because of many horse racing fans who supported "Triple Nine." At the end of last year, thanks to the enthusiastic support of horse racing fans, "Triple Nine" was able to be selected as the representative horse for the second consecutive year. I really want to thank horse racing fans. The Dubai World Cup performance was not good, but I think they sent "Triple Nine" to Dubai well. Like baseball and golf, we should spread to the world with Korean horse racing. I think "Triple Nine" played a role a little bit,

Masu Yoshida showed a video clip and showed how much he bragged about it to me. We won the match. To be honest, objectively, it is true that Japan and I have a wide gap with each other. The number of horse racing officials in Dubai made a big difference. There were about 10 officials from Korea, but in Japan, there seemed to be about 30 to 40 reporters and about 100 reporters including those from Japan. There was a ceremony to deliver the Dubai World Cup medal at Pukyong, the park, on Sunday last week. I jokingly said this at the venue. "Our horses will stay in a good stable like a hotel for 3-4 months and then come back to Korea, and I'm worried about whether they will be able to adapt well." Indeed, Dubai's stable is hotel-class compared to our stable. First of all, the area of street stalls is large, and air conditioning is installed in each street stall.
