Meanwhile, Chairman Hyun said at the meeting, "Several social side effects caused by addictive gambling industries such as games, Toto, horse racing, and bicycle racing have recently become a problem," adding, "It is necessary to foster leading healing institutions specializing in addiction healing, including gambling." In particular, he talked about his experience with taxi drivers during his business trip to Hong Kong and said that symbolic social contribution activities are needed for the Korean Horse Association to continue to improve its image in the future. He also said that in order to foster the horse industry as a leisure industry, the government's regulatory improvement should be accompanied, and he expressed his opinion that restrictions on establishment should be eased, taking the example of an over-the-counter sales office, which has recently been opposed by local residents.

Hyun said the Korean Racing Authority has been strengthening communication with customers by launching a new brand called "Let's Run Park" in place of the "racing ground" for the past three years and transforming the existing over-the-counter sales office into a cultural empathy center where diverse cultures coexist. In addition, the company has transformed the racetrack into a place where families and couples can come and enjoy it from a place where simple betting is done throughout the year by opening an "Amazing Place" equipped with various experience facilities and convenience facilities in the city's spectators hall building. In addition, he stressed that he is successfully pursuing internal innovation by introducing competition principles in management and organizational management. First of all, the Korea Cup, the first Asian international invitational race to ride a Korean race, will be held at Let's Run Park Seoul on September 11.

This is both true and wrong. Strong horses never have a small heart. When we later determined the heart size of strong horses, their hearts were all big. The bigger the heart, the better the cardiopulmonary function is for sure. Usually, the weight of a Thoroughbred heart accounts for 1% of its weight, weighing about 5 kg. The TM Opera, one of Japan's strongest horses, weighed about 7 kg after weighing the heart later. It is important how much the heart weighs compared to its weight. Yes, it is important to make the heart of a horse bigger. As people often say 'sports heart', training makes the heart bigger. When you train harder, anaerobic exercise occurs, and when you run fast while doing anaerobic exercise, your heart also strengthens.

Not only horse riding but also all horse industries after preferential treatment for horseback riding in Jeong Yu-ra. Under these circumstances, the horse industry must work together. Rather than putting forward only their own interests, each association should put their heads together and think deeply about how to develop the industry rather than how to harmonize and overcome the current difficult situation. Of course, horse society sales are on the decline right now, and although the view of the horse industry is not good, a breakthrough will be found if we put our heads together and move toward development. Kwon Seung-joo, president of the Korean Horse Association, compared it to the process of building a building to foster the horse industry.

We met and interviewed Kwon Seung-joo, president of the Korean Horse Training Association, at Let's Run Park, with a bold ambition to make efforts to establish a training role model suitable for the domestic situation and to make the horse training industry the basis. I was very surprised to see that the award for the Future Contribution Award was confirmed. As I won the grand prize, I thought of two things. I didn't contribute much to the horse industry, but I'm grateful for giving me a big award.

First of all, I don't think recruiting members will be a big problem. Whether there are a lot of members at the beginning of the association, I think it will increase as more and more events and businesses are carried out. This is because everyone is interested in training horses. The biggest difficulty is that we must lead the divided horse training field together. Currently, trainers are scattered across the country, and there is a sense of disjunction between horse racing and horseback riding, and there is a concern about how to unite them. So in the first year, I will pay great attention to integration and try to come up with a solution. Training is not divided into horseback riding and horse racing, but horseback riding is in charge of training,

If Martha understands the principles of racehorse athletic physiology, it can scientifically understand what changes will happen when training racehorses. Although the introduction of athletic physiology does not immediately improve racehorses, it can provide a scientific basis for why Martha herself is training racehorses. The exercise physiology of racehorses provides a scientific argument for their intuition. During this visit, Hiraga Ranch talked about the importance of hill-based. He said using the hill-based cardiopulmonary function of racehorses is improved, interval training is possible, and the risk of injury is much reduced. Martha said that during this visit to Hiraga Ranch, they were able to learn specific and scientific training methods.

The company plans to hold a horse industry education fair this year and further deepen it. At the meeting, the company plans to hold a meeting on how to hold a youth equestrian camp in winter by utilizing excellent equestrian facilities of a horse industry professional training institution. It has asked Dankook University Professor Jang Seok-am, who is currently the president of the Chungnam Horse Racing Association, to hold the meeting. It will be able to help each training institution's difficulties while also holding youth equestrian camps by utilizing the excellent equestrian facilities of the horse industry professional training institution. Just as men's ambitions are to ride super cars, it is clear that horse riders also want to ride good horses.

And it is a part where coaches can judge and advise which sports each player should participate in in the Korea Standard Jumping event.Although it is still in effect, the difference is that it introduces the concept of a sponsor. If the 'Korean Horse Racing Association' sponsors the 2017 Student Horse Racing Association, the 2017 Student Horse Racing Association competition will be named 'Let's Run~', and depending on the event, A, B, C, etc. will be added. In addition, IN and OUT are included depending on the length and height, depending on whether they are indoors or outdoors. And in that year, the same course from the preliminary to the finals is operated all year round.

I stretched out two fingers at the awards ceremony, and I raised one thumb at the Sports Seoul Cup. Personal greed allows you to stretch all five fingers. Thank you to the horse racing fan who always supports the creation. I think I won today because there was a horse racing fan who didn't forget to support me. I worried a lot before the race until I crossed the finish line. He seemed distracted during training ahead of the competition, but he seemed to have concentrated well at the moment during the race. When Changse was in the lead role, his performance was better, so he ordered rider Lee Chan-ho to take the lead. Even if it was a bit overwhelming in the beginning, he instructed him to take the lead. He was very nervous as he seemed to be overtaken with 100 meters to go before the finish line. However, he seemed to have a strong will to not lose if Changse was next to him.

It's not because of this, and I can confidently say that it's wrong. These words can only be honestly said by one person. A selfless person should be the head of the organization. Only then can we go beyond the development of the horse industry to become an advanced country. It is not only in the horse industry but also in all fields. Efforts are also needed to communicate. Even though they cannot represent the opinions of all members, limited people are arguing among themselves. When you decide on an issue or have an issue, you should gather representatives who are representative of each region and listen to them. Even if the opinion is not adopted, isn't it reasonable to try to hear it? The horseback riding support project is a project for the whole people. I know that it has been 4 to 5 years since the horse riding support project was established. Until now, it was a project that local people could not easily encounter.

Lee Jong-eun, former president of the Korea Federation of Student Horses, also attracted and conducted training related to the "hunter competition" event with his own money for student horseback riding, but the current board members of the Korea Federation of Student Horses received training. In order to improve the situation in Korea, the company has held symposiums, conducted tests, and continued holding judging sessions. Previously, the competition course was kept secret, but I don't think it is necessary for student horseback riding to emphasize educational purposes. So, I will try to match the course and run the same course from the preliminary round to the final round.

Regardless of money, there are many areas that are purely used for exercise and educational purposes, but it is regrettable that the media focuses too much on some of the negative aspects of horseback riding. The story of the youth horseback riding team in Imja Island, Sinan, Jeollanam-do, has been broadcast on TV, but it should be even more so. Last year, a competition to mark the victory of Korean students was held at Daemyung Vivaldi Park in Hongcheon, Gangwon-do. It is an international pony competition recognized by the International Federation of Horseback-riding. It was held in Daemyung. It is planned to hold the CSIP competition again this year, but the final decision has not been made due to the Jeong Yu-ra incident.

They also learned that the Korea Federation of Student Horses works hard for them. These days, most families have only one or two children, so they may lack social skills and communication skills, but through education through an animal medium called horses, children can be purified and develop communication skills. I plan to strengthen the aspect of etiquette education in the future. Also, there is a need for a lot of publicity on the positive aspects of horseback riding. Last year, children gathered from all over the country even if they watched the competition for the youth equestrian club. There are cases where they rent a bus from Jindo, South Jeolla Province, and they are flying from Jeju Island.

If the video clip of the competition is broadcast live, it will be possible to watch horse racing competitions in other regions. The youth competition in Imja Island, Sinan, South Jeolla Province, can be viewed by student horseback riding players in Gangneung, Gangwon Province without having to go there in person. The student horseback riding association will not take the lead in holding the competition, but will take the lead in each regional association. The student horse riding association will also help the progress of competitions held in different regions. The Korean Horse Racing Authority is currently running a website called "Hosfia," and there will be a way to display the contents that we provide through the website.

But this is not true at all. I rarely met Park Won-oh, and Park Jae-hong because he is a senior and junior in the horse racing world. After serving as the Korea Federation, I had little contact with him. He said that he was close to Park and that he had nothing to do with politics. The Korea Federation of Horseback-riding has nothing to do with politics. It is more effective to use video clips of the federation's website or use social media to communicate horseback riding in writing. Based on the video content of the competition, we are planning to hold more youth games from this year. We plan to hold many competitions including regional competitions and qualifying matches for the club league.

Originally, the government planned to hold a youth equestrian event in the square in front of Seoul City Hall, but it did not go well. Then, the plan was to change it to a park behind the National Assembly building in Yeouido, Seoul, and push for it again, but it failed at the end. As the plan was finally changed to hold the event within the Korean Racing Authority, the association decided to hold the event directly from the event to the establishment of the venue. Previously, there was a budget in consideration of the installation of stands and LED lights required to hold events in other places, but it seems that it was pointed out that it was a lax operation in the process of implementing it. And to some extent, I agree with the lack of management.

For off-site sales offices, the Board of Audit and Inspection limits the number of on-site sales to 32 or less under the total amount system," Hyun said. "From the perspective of the horseracing community, off-site sales offices, which account for 70 percent of sales, are important, but since they are grouped by numbers, we tried to operate them as large as possible in the city center, and there are difficulties that cause damage to the people around us." Let's not say anything, I started the horseback riding without knowing the winner. Having been engaged in the livestock industry for a long time, I made my first son lean on meat. Then, I concluded an FTA with the U.S. I thought that I could no longer afford to engage in a meat-eating business. I asked my son, who was running a meat-eating business, if he wanted to run a horse-riding business. He also said, "I will try to see if he thought he had a vision in the horse-riding business rather than a meat-eating business."
