Kim Byung-hong argued,The fairness of horse racing is achieved through free competition, and focusing only on income distribution does not fit at all with the horse racing system.”First, CEO Kim Byung-hong said regarding the indefinite strike by the Busan-Gyeongnam Horse Racing Park branch of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions’ Public Transport Workers’ Union and the Busan-Gyeongnam Horse Pilgrim Workers’ Union, “Do not incite people for your own benefit by rallying those who have quietly

At first, I hesitated, holding onto the same prejudices as everyone else—whether a woman could speak so fluently, or whether, when excited and her tone rose, she might say things I wouldn’t want to hear. After receiving the proposal, I watched a broadcast video that seniors had done and tried saying the lines, and my heart started pounding. The feeling of “Ah, I want to try this at least once” stirred within me. I think I practiced hard from then on. Since there were hardly any cases in other countries either, it was truly a battle fought alone. Since I had seen the flow of Gyeongju over many years of working there, I was able to read it easily. However, the really difficult part was having to describe and explain the situation quickly and without pause.

Even a foreign horse with good bloodlines cannot beat a domestic horse with winning experience when it has no racing experience. In addition, foreign horses must compete against horses that have won and advanced from grade 4, but if they are forced to train excessively to match the competition, there is also a risk that the horses will break down quickly.If we purchase many quality horses from abroad, we will naturally receive high-quality horses as well, which will also help the development of Korean horse racing.

At the time, it was that serious, and I desperately wanted to show them the living scene. I hoped that the hard work, determination, passion, and hardships of the people involved, as I portrayed them, could help dispel even a little of the fans’ misunderstandings. It was a 15-minute show centered on horses or people, and I think that was a period when I ran around a lot and met many people, allowing me to grow.At the time, the broadcasting team only had announcers, and there were no producers, writers, or even editors. So when things got urgent, I even took the camera myself to film, and I also handled editing, directing, and composition by myself.

Some senior advisors say that prices should be tied again, but that is wrong. Then we go back to the old days again. The reason domestic horses don’t perform well against foreign horses such as Japanese and Singaporean horses is that, due to the price restrictions, fewer quality horses have entered the market. Although the Korea Racing Authority has brought in and is supporting several good stallions, they cannot beat horses bought from abroad. We must move toward a system of autonomous competition.

When I joined the company, there were no specialized horse-racing broadcast programs at all. To give you an idea, during lunch breaks we played Family Amusement Hall and Animal Kingdom. After a meeting to create our own horse-racing program, I took on broadcasting planning for the first time, and the first program I ever produced at the time was a 15-minute documentary. It is my first work that I will never forget for the rest of my life. Not long ago, jockey Park Tae-jong, who had reached 2,000 wins, became the first in Korean horse racing at the time to achieve 100 wins in a single season, so I spent a month following him to make a special program. I think I followed you from dawn till evening, pouring all the effort and passion I could into it.

Wouldn’t it be better to have the person facing each other run from two places rather than having them buy horses and race only at one racetrack. Horses with somewhat less speed but good endurance are more likely to succeed in Busan than in Seoul, whereas horses with better speed than endurance are more likely to succeed in Seoul than in Busan. If you only have one chance to spend a lot of money to buy a horse, it is such a waste and a loss. Make people who can’t speak in Busan run in Seoul,

test008

Of course, there are also management system factors, but Busan’s main highway is 50 meters longer than Seoul’s, 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 a wider range of choices, so it could also be an opportunity for the opponents. At present, except for the integrated race, Seoul owners can enter their horses in races held at LetsRun Park Seoul for Seoul-owned horses,

Just as I was about to enter society, I saw a job posting from the Korea Racing Authority hiring a female announcer. At the time, it was true that I only had a vague understanding of horse racing and had no knowledge whatsoever of what it was really like. I decided to take the test because I felt I had to find a job anywhere, and that’s how my connection with horses began.There were only a few female employees at the Korea Racing Authority, so you can imagine how bad it must have been at the massage parlor. There were no female riders at the time either, and it was literally a forbidden zone for women. One day was a hot summer day, and I once drove a broadcast vehicle to a massage parlor for reporting.

Above all, the integration of the Majoo region is the top priority. There are currently many deficit owners, but if Bukyung and Seoul are merged, it could help alleviate the deficit owners to some extent and also have a positive effect on improving the competitiveness of Korean horse racing.In the integrated horse racing competition held over several years between Busan and Seoul, horses belonging to LetsRun Park Busan-Gyeongnam are achieving relatively good results. The reason is mainly due to the influence of the state.

In that case, sometimes the scarcity of women can be helpful. Conversely, for those people, I was an unusual presence, and because I attracted a lot of attention, it seemed somewhat easier to request coverage or ask for cooperation. My basic disposition is that I tend to always want to be new rather than doing what I’ve always done. In fact, there are often many attempts made with good intentions, but they are frequently left unfinished. But finishing even one of the ten tasks means I’ve clearly grown a step further than if I had stayed put without taking on any challenge, and that gives me energy.

In Korea, the horses used by the athletes vary in price, and the athletes also go to the United States or Europe to receive individual training. However, most Japanese athletes are active within Japan, and they compete while working at riding clubs with just a horse. In my opinion, the level of Korean is higher than that of Japan.Seri-machi, a trainer and expert in taming and training retired racehorses, said that taming a horse is not like a mathematical formula. Just as no novel contains only one interpretation,

Since Korea and the Middle East will bring good words and do their best, I think it will be difficult for Japan to win a gold medal.The jockey for the dressage has not yet been decided. I think a team of the same caliber as the 2014 Incheon Asian Games might be formed. It looks like Korea and India will be competing for the gold medal, and Japan will seem likely to be contesting for the bronze medal with China. I heard that China is making huge investments in dressage recently. It is said that they brought in a great jousting horse from Europe.

For example, while some horses are insensitive to response, there are sensitive ones, and if some horses naturally have their heads positioned higher, there are also some with them positioned lower. I don’t think there’s a right answer, so I haven’t made a separate manual.In addition, Japanese language experts are reluctant to turn related know-how into manuals in the first place. There is concern that once know-how is codified into text, it can be presented as this is the correct answer,allowing someone else to raise objections.

However, to transition to horseback riding, there is a strong need to change to a slower, more stable rhythm, and improving balance is also important in training.There isn’t much difference, but the key goal of 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 people standing in the center, and it is important to build trust between horses and people. Rushing out in a hurry is the worst form, and maintaining a steady pace with a stable rhythm is the best form.

Japan was in a situation similar to Korea’s, but it has continuously passed down the techniques for taming and training retired racehorses, and now possesses world-class skills in this area. It contains the words of Instructor Serimachi, an expert in taming and training retired racehorses.Last year, in Yeongcheon, Gyeongbuk, and at Let’s Run Farm Jangsu, mostly trainees from professions familiar to the training staff participated in training at a limited location. For that reason, as the training progressed,

I thought it was right to debut only after the fans fully accepted it, and thankfully more than 70 percent supported it. For me, that vote rather became a weapon. It meant they were essentially going into the broadcast carrying 70 percent of the fans on their backs.Of course. I was way too nervous. Rather than not wanting to make mistakes, I wanted to minimize them as much as possible, so I studied a great deal. Who will take the lead, and who will go second or third, and will attempt a nudge attack. In fact, when the first broadcast race began, it unfolded as expected, and I proceeded as I had prepared, feeling reassured. But then, out of nowhere, the horse that had been leading disappeared from the frame as it rounded the fourth corner, leaning out to the outside.

Until the mid-1990s, they bred and trained The Dirty Blood, which had mainly been used as racehorses at racetracks, on their own and used it as riding horses. However, in the mid-1990s, when the European Warmblood began to be introduced in earnest in Korea, the taming and training techniques for retired racehorses naturally disappeared. Centered on professional equestrian riders, warmbloods—physically far superior—began to be ridden, and the unprofitable art of taming and training retired racehorses became a lasting legacy.

Most riding arenas receive support related to student riding. I’ve even heard that if this support is cut off, most equestrian centers will go under. Support cannot continue indefinitely, and equestrian operators themselves must build their own strength. If support continues, I won’t make an effort. Our equestrian center doesn’t even receive support for student riding, but it is running fairly well on its own. It’s thanks to working hard on my feet. What I felt on site was that if you work hard, this is a field with plenty of potential.

People from schools for people with disabilities are reaching out asking if I could do therapeutic riding, and places like vocational training schools are also inquiring whether I could provide trial riding experiences. I also received messages from Seoul, which is more than 60 km away, and although the distance was a bit inconvenient, I often went out more for social contribution than for profit. While revenue is important, I also think there is a great need for equestrian operators themselves to lower the barriers to equestrianism

Since I was a child, my father ran a farm raising livestock such as deer, pigs, and goats, so I had no hesitation in raising animals, and horseback riding, which I learned as an elective in college, became my connection. Seeing that I learned horseback riding as quickly as the other kids, the riding instructor even praised me. And by the time I was riding for the third time, the instructor even said, “Would you consider helping me work at the riding stable?”While preparing for the university graduation presentation,
