Separately, a plan to invest 73.3 billion won over four years has also been prepared to strengthen the competitiveness of domestic horses. Some members of the party opposed this process-oriented innovation proposal, and the hastily formed Emergency Response Committee went as far as to deny the existing negotiation results and demand a complete renegotiation. The Korea Racing Authority was devastated by the situation where there was no dialogue or consultation in preparing the innovation plan.However, the Korea Racing Authority, with its responsibility and duty to the public to conduct horse racing, accepted entries for the combined first- and second-tier races in the first week of February in accordance with the 2015 racing implementation plan.

Wouldn't it be better to have two people run, rather than one person buying horses and making them run at just one racetrack. Horses with more speed than speed but better endurance are more likely to succeed in Busan than in Seoul, while those with more speed than endurance are more likely to succeed in Seoul than in Busan. If you spend a lot of money to buy a horse but only have one chance, it's such a waste. Make those who can't speak in Busan run in Seoul, and those who can't speak in Seoul run in Busan.

Over the years of the integrated horse racing competition between Busan and Seoul, horses from LetsRun Park Busan-Gyeongnam have performed relatively well. The main reason is its influence. Of course, there are also management system factors, but compared to Seoul, Busan’s main thoroughbred track is 50 meters longer, so horses with endurance perform better there, whereas faster horses do better in Seoul.However, if you merge, the opponents who purchase and deploy horses will have more options, so it could also be an opportunity for them.

A Korea Racing Authority official said, "The Gambling Supervision Committee claims that vein collection through the introduction of electronic cards is not personal information and can be conducted without identifying individuals, but the risk of clear personal data leakage is high, and it constitutes a human rights violation by treating horse racing fans as potential gambling addicts." He added, "The committee is pushing the policy for its own gain, and although the chairperson said in January that it would apply to all legal gambling industries without exception, they changed their stance just two weeks later to exclude lotteries, showing a double standard."Chairman Hyun Myung-kwan agrees with the call of the times and the policy goals of promoting the soundness of the gambling industry. However, electronic cards are an unprecedented regulation that assumes all horse racing customers are potential gamblers.

With the introduction of electronic cards, users of the gambling industry will need to issue a card and load cash to place bets instead of using the current cash purchase method, and the card issuance process is designed to recognize fingerprints (vein patterns).In particular, the committee's current recommendations are to expand the full implementation of electronic cards to 20% of off-track betting locations this year based on the 2018 standard, reduce the cash betting limit to 30,000 won next year, and lower it to 10,000 won in 2017.

The loss of existing users could also accelerate the expansion of the illegal market. Therefore, there is a growing call to encourage autonomous financial soundness measures while taking into account the unique characteristics of the system, rather than applying the electronic card system uniformly.On February 13, Chairman Hyeon released a statement titled “Openness, Competition, and Market Expansion: Korean Horse Racing’s Second Leap” on the Korea Racing Authority’s corporate website.In a statement, Chairman Hyun said that Korean horse racing, with its 93-year history, is facing an unprecedented crisis amid a 42% drop in customers over the past decade and a red light on sales figures, with no expansion of off-track betting facilities and pressure from regulations such as the full implementation of electronic cards.

There are also disputes over violations of users' human rights and consumer rights.An industry insider pointed out, "According to the electronic card implementation plan, collecting users' sensitive biometric information such as their finger vein patterns could lead to concerns over personal data exposure and cause users to avoid it, perceiving it as fingerprint stamping." He also lamented, "Although the government has said it is working to legalize the underground economy, illegal gambling markets are growing tremendously, and social problems such as tax revenue outflow and gambling addiction are becoming more serious," adding, "It is not right to leave illegal activities unchecked while only regulating the legal ones."

At the time, the Korea Racing Authority felt somewhat uncomfortable about the establishment of the Korea Owners’ Association, so cooperation was lacking, but thanks to the founding president’s relentless efforts, it was finally created, and I was able to become its seventh president. The past presidents did a great job, but I believe what I must do going forward is unify the association in Busan and Seoul.Above all, the integration of the Maju region is the top priority. There are currently many deficit owners,

The group that had been riding heavily was unstable when putting on the bit, but he rode steadily after training. For a first day, the training went well.In Japan, the World Equestrian Championships held in the United States and the Asian Games held in Jakarta are competed in separate groups.

I don't think there is a single correct answer, so I haven't created a separate manual.In addition, Japanese language experts are reluctant to turn their expertise into a manual. There is concern that once know-how is codified into text, it may be perceived as 'this is the answer,' allowing others to challenge it. Figuratively speaking, a mathematical formula has a fixed answer and a solution, but when it comes to interpreting a novel, there is likely more than one method. It is very diverse, and I believe that anything can be an answer.

The committee was originally scheduled to approve the implementation of the electronic card policy, but it reportedly failed to reach a decision as lawmakers raised concerns not only about human rights violations but also about side effects such as a crisis in related industries and a shortage of tax revenue.The SAGAM’s full implementation plan for electronic cards is a legal system requiring that, when using all legal gambling industries—including horse racing, cycle racing, motorboat racing, casinos, lotteries, and sports promotion lottery tickets (Sports Toto) for professional sports—users must load funds onto a card containing their personal information before use.

However, to transition to equestrian use, it is essential to change to a slower and more stable rhythm, and improving balance is also important in training.There isn’t much difference, but the key goal of the jomasak training is for the horses to find stability and become calmer. The goal of Jomasak is to ensure that horses are not afraid of the person standing in the center, and building trust between horse and handler is important. Leaping out too abruptly is the worst form, while maintaining a steady pace with a stable rhythm is the best.

In the future, I’d like to open a chain store under the name of our equestrian club. As the fresh blood of the horse industry, I will give it my all.Choi Tae-hoon, head of the Yongin Pony Club, expressed his ambition to open a chain of branches bearing the name of his equestrian club. He said there were many hardships and difficulties in the process of growing the pony business from just three horses to 23 within a few years. However, by overcoming difficulties through hands-on effort, they are now generating stable profits and have even received certification for the sixth industry.

My wife had no connection to horses.We met through an introduction, and as we went on dates and hung out, my wife naturally became familiar with him. I bought three horses and we went out on dates a lot, and that’s how we ended up here. While on horseback dates, I gave the kids rides, and seeing them,we both felt good about it; those moments continued. I am grateful to my wife.I hope that by working hard together, we can make a significant contribution to promoting youth equestrianism, and I also aspire to become a role model for youth equestrian clubs across the country.

Our riding center doesn’t receive any student support, but it is running quite well. It was thanks to working hard on my feet. What I felt on the ground is that this is a field with plenty of potential if you work hard.I started the business with just three horses, and now I have 23, including some of medium size. Describe the process of growth from the initial stage to the present. We truly ran with our bodies.There were days I earned 50,000 won, and days I came up empty-handed because it rained.

While revenue is important, I also believe equestrian operators need to work hard to lower the barriers to equestrianism and reach out to the public.Popularizing horseback riding is the top priority. If horseback riding becomes more widely accessible, many people will visit riding centers, directly boosting their revenue. Structural changes are needed to make horseback riding more accessible. In addition, customer service seems important. In any field, success is difficult without improving customer service.

As I was thinking about what to do before graduating from college, I came up with the idea of a children's horseback riding program using ponies. Since I was young, my father ran a farm raising livestock such as deer, pigs, and goats, so I had no hesitation in caring for animals, and horseback riding, which I took as an elective in college, became my connection to the field. Since I was learning horseback riding as well, the instructor even praised me for picking it up faster than my other friends. And by the third time I rode, the instructor even asked if I would like to help him work at the riding stable.
