In addition, three improvement models were proposed on the premise of establishing improvement measures related to accident and accident insurance. In the course of the research service, each related organization expressed the need to set up prize money in consideration of the purchase and management costs of excess racehorses and to compensate for the increase in the purchase cost of racehorses by expanding the amount of prize money. Individually, the rate of increase or decrease in the purchase cost of racehorses was reflected as a prize money setting factor, the need to set the appropriate number of heads, the application of differential prize rates by region, the analysis of costs in other sectors other than horse racing prize money, the need to preserve a certain amount of prize money, the government's labor cost guidelines, and the limited application of jockey prize money.

Min Gi-jo asked about feed grades and how to control stress that he was curious about. Hiraga Ranch said, "If you put the horse in a paddy field and give it a feeling of being outside, you can see that your stress is reduced." It is important to reduce the mental pain of a horse's happiness at least a little. Even a narrow paddy field can reduce stress if the horses feel like they are outside. Checking the lactic acid after training can also be an indicator of anaerobic exercise, so it is also helpful to decide whether to rest or not according to the lactic acid level. It is also good to refresh yourself in the horse swimming pool. The most important thing is the "holthness" of the massage officials.

An assistant teacher is asking rancher Hiraga how to use a heart rate monitor exactly. A heart rate monitor is a device that measures the speed of a racehorse by identifying its heart rate during training. The heart rate monitor can be measured by attaching electrodes to the abdominal bandage, placing the remaining pieces of gear in the order of their normal operation. The most important thing is the human eye, but there are also various scientific methods that can be used as evidence. You can tell by looking at your heart rate after training and how fast you returned to normal. When you are in a good condition, you will recover quickly. You can also tell by blood tests.

For example, in Japan, when the assistant teacher orders, "Today's training is 16 seconds," the track riders must come in accordingly, not too fast than 16 seconds. It certainly follows the instructions of the assistant. Just by recording it, you can take a step forward in making a good assistant. It is an atmosphere in which horse racing officials are trying to make a strong horse. It is important to try various ways to make a strong horse. Even when introducing exercise physiology, it is important to try different teaching methods if you do not fit yourself and the racehorse. The most important thing is to create an atmosphere in which you can try and try from various angles.

It also plans to create conditions for the horse industry to continue to grow through the influx of people who experience horseback riding in connection with the tourism industry. In particular, if the national budget is fully supported in relation to the designation of a special horse industry zone from next year, more solid production infrastructure and various horse industry infrastructure are expected to be established in the Icheon area.Mayor Cho Byung-don said, "We are currently raising 460 horses from 34 farms in Icheon, and there are four horse-riding grounds and one horse hospital," adding, "With Hwaseong and Yongin City, which were designated as horse industry No. 3, we will grow into a mecca for the mammoth horse industry, with 6,000 horses, 100 horse-riding courses and 50,000 horse-riding experiences within the next five years. We will strive to be a great boost to the local economy through the establishment of horse industry infrastructure."

If you look at the video clip of the Grand Prix, "Mihonobru Bon" started off as a good deed and went straight to the finish line. Horses that jump out just need to build endurance. This is true or not. Strong horses have never had a small heart. When the size of hearts was measured later, strong horses' hearts were all big. When the heart is big, it definitely has a good cardiopulmonary function. Usually, the weight of a Thoroughbred heart accounts for 1 percent of its weight, weighing about 5 kilograms. The TM Opera, one of Japan's strongest horses, weighed about 7 kilograms after weighing the heart. It is important how much the heart weighs compared to its weight.

Just like we do running competitions, children who are good at sports quickly breathe back to normal when they finish running, but those who are not good at sports are very overwhelmed. The same goes for racehorses. Running uphill helps improve cardiopulmonary functions, allowing you to breathe stably. Going up on the hind legs greatly reduces the risk of injury. You can also correct your posture. When racehorses try to run with their heads up, but they teach on the hillside, they naturally lower their heads. Also, the hillside is very important, enabling interval training. Thank you for telling me a lot about the importance of hillside. I plan to introduce hillside in Pukyong in the future.

During his visit, Hiraga Ranch talked about the importance of hill-based techniques. He said that using hill-based techniques improves cardiopulmonary functions, enables interval training, and significantly reduces the risk of injury. Martha said that during the visit, they were able to learn about specific and scientific training methods. It can be an opportunity to pay attention to the meaning of training and what changes are made by teaching racehorses. Introducing exercise physiology does not immediately improve a racehorseshoe. However, if you study sports physiology, you can shed more doubt and focus on making stronger horses because it can provide scientific evidence on why you are conducting such training.

Meanwhile, horse racing officials point out that the People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy raised the issue that "the horserace prohibits credit card payments for horserace purchases and treats them only with cash, which is contrary to the government's policy and is an impure intention to undermine the horserace society."In addition, the government legally regulates the use of credit cards at ATM devices at racetracks or over-the-counter sales centers as well as small purchases due to the sound policy of horse racing, and contrary to the government's policy, the need to make credit card payments is a far-fetched claim that does not take government policy into account.

Even if it was a bit overwhelming in the beginning, he told me to take the lead. I was very nervous as I seemed to be overtaken with 100 meters to go before the finish line. However, I think I was able to withstand it because I had a strong will to not lose if a horse was next to me. In fact, my condition was not my best today. Lee Chan-ho is the right flag bearer for Changse. He has a habit of leaning inward after the fourth corner, and since Lee Chan-ho is a left-handed rider, he was able to cover his weaknesses well. Changse is still very young at three years old. Whether he will participate in the Jeju Special Provincial Governor's Cup will be decided by considering the horse's condition comprehensively. Since he is still young, I will not overdo it until this year.

He also called for a strict investigation by the tax authorities, saying, "The Korean Horse Racing Authority is explaining that it is paying VAT on facility usage fees in addition to VAT equivalent to 2,000 won in admission fees, but it is still doubtful whether it is actually paying appropriate VAT." He also called for a strict investigation, saying that since the Korean Horse Racing Authority prohibits credit card payments for ticket purchases and treats all ticket sales worth more than 7.6 trillion won in cash, there are concerns about income evasion or tax evasion. Regarding the allegations raised by the People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy, the Korean Horse Racing Authority explained in a press release, "The Korean Horse Racing Authority is faithfully paying VAT on admission and usage fees."

Although I participated with the goal of winning the championship, I was worried that it would not be an easy race because there were many strong opponents ahead of the competition. I would like to thank all the horse racing players, including Teacher Park Jae-woo, who had a hard time winning the championship under difficult conditions. Teacher Park recommended me to meet 'Changse', and when I went to meet him at the ranch, I was very happy to see 'Changse' lead the way at the front of the group. I extended two fingers at the awards ceremony, and one thumb was raised at the Sports Seoul Cup. Personal greed allows you to spread out all five fingers.

There will be an absolutely large number of horseback riding populations in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, but what guarantee is there that only people from Seoul and Gyeonggi Province will ride well? Isn't the purpose of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry's horseback riding support project to expand the base of the horseback riding population and discover excellent horse riding talents? It is better to choose the first place from 50 million people than to choose the first place from 20 million people. I plan to go beyond the best in Chungbuk and make it the best horse riding team in Korea. It is true that there has been a lack of support from local governments such as North Chungcheong Province and Cheongju City, but I hope that this foundation will give more interest.
