However, we operated it among ourselves without receiving a nonprofit corporation license. In fact, I should have prepared all the necessary documents and obtained the license first, but after the Horse Industry Promotion Act passed, I felt I had to hurry, so I received the license the year after it was enacted.Since our association is a non-profit organization under the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, we submit reports every year. Until last year, we did not request support from the association, but this year we requested support from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry for the first time.

You have to give the horse attention and love. Actually, it's more fun to raise them than to ride horses. If you give love, they become closer than a friend. In words, they are pets and companion animals closest to people. There was a time when I used to play music every morning to wake the horses up. A true horseman should know that, instead of overworking his horse to death, it is important to ride by observing the horse’s breathing and then his own. Before horseback riding, I talk and walk with the horse for about 30 minutes.

Some of the supported horses are not suitable for beginners, but they are paying special attention to them, including reassigning them.The book also did not overlook the exercise benefits and functions of horseback riding. He emphasized that although many people regard horseback riding as a high-end sport, calling it "the best exercise for physical and mental health," it should become more accessible. When he visited Italy, he was impressed by the well-equipped stallion facilities at a private riding club and by members riding for their own exercise without dropping off midway.

Even on the afternoon of Saturday, February 25, when I covered Haman County Equestrian Park, Mr. Gu was once again showing off his enduring vigor, riding a horse without fail. At first, I just thought he was an elderly man who had been riding for a long time, but my perception soon changed. After dismounting, he gave carrots and sugar he had brought from home to the horse on the stirrup and said, "We were talking."Jo Gyeong-je, director of Haman County Equestrian Park, who was watching,

The Korea Racing Authority also stated that it will continue to make efforts to engage in ongoing dialogue with local residents during the pilot operation period. First, he emphasized active participation in mediation through the Korea Conflict Resolution Center, designated by the National Unity Committee, and made it clear that he would continue direct dialogue with local residents by holding meetings with the opposition committee and holding project briefings for local inhabitants.The Korea Racing Authority also plans to ensure objectivity in its efforts to diversify communication channels and in the evaluation of the pilot operation.

In fact, considering the fabric and production process, the price should have gone up, but as someone in the equestrian fashion business, I wondered why I had to follow traditional conventions. Therefore, they worked hard on pricing so that first-time riders would feel it was reasonable when purchasing the clothes. Given the current pricing policy, we may incur losses at first, but over time, I think all equestrians will come to favor Penakova. So I set it at 50% of the original price. Penacova is sold at the same price at all dealerships and approaches consumers with reasonable pricing.

Japanese equestrians do not avoid wearing high-quality European riding gear, but they shop reasonably. Regular riders seem to care more about how it feels or what it functions when they wear it rather than the brand. It was more effective for promoting Penakova to people to have played a few months in Japan than to have played diligently in Korea for four years. It seems that domestic athletes are only now showing interest in Penakova’s equestrian uniform after seeing that Japanese competitors at the European competition wore it. This is a disappointing aspect.

The Korea Racing Authority stated that while accepting the court's decision, it will make additional efforts to address concerns raised by the opposition committee regarding infringement on the right to learn by operating only during the school vacation period on Friday and actively participating in mediation through the Korea Conflict Resolution Center.However, the opposition committee maintains that it cannot accept the court's decision.In an email sent to reporters on the evening of the 15th, the opposition committee stated, "We will not accept any recommendation that includes recognition of the Korea Racing Authority's pilot opening, regardless of its content."

By chance, that athlete went on to win the dressage event at the All-Japan Championships, making him widely known in the Japanese equestrian world. She became even more well-known because she never missed first place in dressage and consistently achieved excellent results. Then, through an agency specializing in equestrian apparel, we received an offer, and recently our brand was officially launched in a shop inside a craneside riding stable in Japan.It is bittersweet, as I am grateful that Japanese equestrian athletes are being recognized

While promoting the horse industry itself is important, fashion companies could also raise awareness by first showcasing equestrian apparel and fashion. Just as people who don’t play golf wear golf wear or people who don’t hike wear hiking clothes, riding wear can also be enjoyed as everyday clothing by the general public. Just as someone who doesn’t hike might start thinking about going to the mountains after wearing hiking clothes, someone who doesn’t ride may feel like trying horseback riding after seeing themselves in riding gear.

The committee left it to its discretion to thoroughly diagnose the issues identified after the pilot operation ended and to consider whether to take drastic measures, such as closing the project, if complaints continue to be raised.KRA Chairman Hyun Myung-kwan said, "The KRA plans to accept the court's settlement recommendation," adding, "We will do our best to break away from outdated practices through the pilot operation of the Yongsan off-track betting facility and use it as a milestone for innovation." Regarding efforts to resolve the conflict with the opposition committee, he said, "Restoring mutual trust with the opposition committee is the top priority," adding, "We will do our utmost to ensure that the Korea Racing Authority's sincerity is conveyed by approaching dialogue with an open mind and patience."

My body felt lighter now. It is beneficial not only for men, but for people of all ages and genders. But you have to ride safely. A person who has only just learned to speak and can barely walk should not suddenly start running and jumping. In that case, it would obviously be a problem. However, once you know how to handle the horse and develop riding ability, and can maintain a safe pace, horseback riding is a sport you can enjoy not in your 60s or 70s, but even in your 80s. Looking at examples abroad, older people also enjoy horseback riding.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs stated, "A portion of the revenue generated from horse racing is being allocated to the Livestock Development Fund under Article 42 of the Korea Racing Authority Act, supporting the agriculture and rural sectors, including funding for the horse industry, scholarships, and welfare projects." It added, "This year, 159.4 billion won has been contributed to the Livestock Development Fund, with 17.2 billion won for horse industry development, 15.3 billion won for scholarships in rural areas, 7.6 billion won for rural welfare projects, and 6 billion won for promotional projects to boost the consumption of agricultural and livestock products."

Looking back now, it really is as ridiculous as they said. Since I thought that way too in the past, it's only natural that most people who don't know are thinking the same. But it is safe to ride.And the way various media outlets report on the issue also seems to play a part. This is because the media tends to portray the company in a negative light rather than highlighting its strengths. Most of the reports are negative, such as news of horses falling off horses or horses running across roads after escaping from the ranch.

After establishing Penacoba Korea, I learned about the Sejong Equestrian CEO Course, and during the process, they reached out for help, saying they wanted to wear equestrian fashion wear and hold a fashion show at the graduation ceremony. Through that connection, I sponsored the event, and when I visited to say hello at the next freshman entrance ceremony, I saw that I was listed among the new students. It was something Executive Director Park had applied for in advance. That’s how I officially began horseback riding.

Kim Moon-young, CEO of Racing Media and a presenter, pointed out the need for a complete overhaul of the current system by comparing the racing systems of Seoul and Pukyong, and argued that horse racing competitions should be improved to systems tailored to the characteristics of each individual horse. Regarding prize money distribution, he said it should remain faithful to the fundamental nature of horse racing—the determination of winning and losing—but argued that this forces the sacrifice of owners, and for the development of the horse racing industry, the profit-generating portion should gradually increase.In conclusion, CEO Kim said that the biggest difference between the Seoul and Pukyong systems can be summarized as stable operation and unlimited competition, and argued that the only solution to the various conflicts between Seoul and Pukyong is to unify all implementation systems.

He and Executive Director Park had known each other since they were running their own businesses. Executive Director Park worked in the fur and leather sector, while I was engaged in the transportation business. Since we also handled a lot of fashion-related transportation, we got to know each other well. As various difficulties arose while each of us was on our own path, we wanted to work together and accomplish something. So in August 2015, the idea emerged to create a horseback riding brand focused entirely

Just as Park Se-ri paved the way for domestic golfers when they couldn't reach the world stage, and Park Chan-ho opened the door for Korean baseball players to enter the Major Leagues, there is a sense that 'Triple Nine' has played at least a part in that. I hope a second and third 'Triple Nine' will emerge in the future.Choi Byung-bu and his wife undertook a long-distance journey of about 10 hours four times each, from the Dubai World Cup Carnival to the Dubai World Cup, to watch a total of four tournaments featuring 'Triple Nine.'

At the final hearing on July 15, the 21st Civil Division of the Western District Court (Presiding Judge Hwang Yoon-gu) stated, “Rather than deciding immediately on whether to grant the injunction, it is deemed necessary for both parties to take a cooling-off period,” and recommended a settlement, saying, “The respondents should allow the Korea Racing Authority to conduct a trial operation of the racetrack by the end of October and discuss the matter again afterward.”A settlement recommendation is a procedure in which the court, when the parties to a dispute cannot reach an agreement, proactively urges both sides to come to a settlement before making a judgment. The parties may file an objection with the court within two weeks of receiving the decision. If either party files an objection, the court will decide whether to grant the provisional injunction.

Even on the day of the interview, Choi Byung-bu showed his special affection by personally checking on 'Triple Nine’s' safety. A corner of Chairman Choi Byung-bu’s office filled with horse-related plaques.I’m considering about four domestic races for this year. There are about four events: the Busan Mayor’s Cup in July, the Korea Cup in September, the President’s Cup, and the Grand Prix. I'm also considering letting him run a regular workout session in the middle.There may be many reasons why Triple9 has come this far, including good management,

Compared to our hotel, the Dubai hotel is truly hotel-grade. First, the horse stable area is large, and each one is equipped with air conditioning. And everything is pleasant. Next to it is a grassland for exercise; the grassland attached to the village of Masah, where eight dogs live, is only about one thousand pyeong. This is something we cannot imagine. It's true that this is possible because Dubai is a wealthy country. Even if it doesn't reach that point, the current aging of the massage system also needs to be addressed first. Horses can improve their ability only when they are comfortable.

Students from Seongsim Girls' Middle and High School also participated in the press conference and presented an appeal. In their appeal, the student council of Seongsim Girls' Middle School expressed concern, saying, "Looking out the classroom window, one can see the massive building of a gambling den," and warned that "horse racers from across the country will flock here, forced to learn a get-rich-quick mentality and materialism that destroys their lives." They also appealed to President Park Geun Hye, a graduate of Seongsim Girls' Middle and High School, saying, "Your help is desperately needed," and requested, "Please assist in repurposing this building into a library and cultural center for the youth who will carry the future."

Yoshida Ma-ju shows me videos and brags about how much she boasts to me. Even though we won when we faced each other. Honestly, from an objective standpoint, the difference with Japan is indeed significant. The difference was clear just by looking at the number of equestrian officials who visited Dubai. There were only about ten horse racing officials from Korea in total, but in Japan, there were 30 to 40 journalists, and including staff, it seemed to be around 100.Last Sunday, a plaque of appreciation ceremony for the Dubai World Cup was held at LetsRun Park Pukyong.
