There is also the problem that the inability to use agricultural electricity is worsening the management of the equestrian industry. I believe this issue arose because of the fundamental question of whether the equestrian center itself is an agricultural facility or a livestock facility. Because there is no legal stability, the problem has continued, and there are parts that have not been resolved. So rather than feeling rewarded, I feel disappointed that we have not been able to resolve these various pressing issues,

We built a public equestrian center near the city, improved the insurance system, worked to stabilize equestrian operations, and launched individual riding insurance at the end of last year, which we have continued this year. I was thinking of doing personal insurance as a government-supported project, but it fell through at the final stage, which is regrettable. Since the law also provides grounds for insurance support, I am considering whether I should get involved in insurance matters in some way.

However, there are still various changes in domestic conditions, such as the issue of state affairs manipulation and the need to present a new vision after the new government takes office, so the content is being supplemented.When I came and saw, equestrianism was said to be a so-called sport only for them, so it was the object of envy and envy among ordinary people. Horse racing, rather than being enjoyed for its own sake, has been reinforced with a negative image among the public as a gambling industry and as a symbol of gambling addiction.

Embarking on the great journey of advancing and internationalizing horse racing, Korean horse racing made a leap to becoming a Part II nation in July 2016, and qualified for the Dubai World Cup last year and this year, proudly standing shoulder to shoulder with the world. Along with innovation in horse racing, we were also able to achieve positive outcomes for the horse racing industry, such as exports of racehorses and race broadcasting exports.

Currently, our country's horse industry is drawing growing expectations for growth and development in accordance with the enforcement of the Horse Industry Promotion Act. However, it is still insufficient because it has not achieved practical effects on site. Moreover, the recent state affairs scandal has deepened public distrust and misunderstanding of the horse industry, inflicting great wounds on us, the people of horse racing. However, despite the adverse conditions,

First of all, I regret the recent horse trainer incident that occurred at LetsRun Park Busan-Gyeongnam. The working hours of speech therapists abroad are also very similar to those in Korea. However, in that they receive a portion of the prize money they win, the treatment of Korean horse handlers is relatively good. Although some European countries, such as Ireland, have regulations requiring a portion of the prize money to be paid, when comparing treatment, Korea is relatively better.

Because of that influence, he grew up in an environment familiar with horses from an early age.In most foreign countries, gambling—predicting race outcomes through betting—is also enjoyed as a form of leisure. It is also common to see people who visit the racetrack on weekends as a family outing casually placing bets.At present, it seems that the Korea Racing Authority is doing a good job in strengthening competitiveness. For example, they are doing well things like hosting international competitions such as the “Korea Cup” in Korea,

Recently, the visitors to the racecourse park have become more diverse, including not only horse racing fans who enjoy the races, but also families accompanied by young children, and young people who have come to have fun with their partners or friends. I think it is currently in the process of transforming into a wholesome leisure sport. In this process, to bring about greater change, rather than focusing on horse racing itself, one approach is to use horses so that ordinary people can watch and enjoy them.

However, in Europe, there are various styles rather than just front-runners, such as closers who surge from the back and free-running horses.My entire family has a deep bond with horses. My grandfather and father worked as trainers in Ireland, and other family members also have horse-related jobs such as trainers and jockeys. I actually started my life as a trainer when I debuted in Malaysia in 2010, but it has been quite a long time since I formed a bond with horses and lived with them.

However, this year, equestrian centers across the country plan to bring together horses and trainees of different levels and temperaments to implement customized training programs.In the case of a riding horse, the balance should be level or positioned toward the rear. Improving balance is key to converting retired racehorses into riding horses. When balance shifts from back to front, it means it becomes faster, and retired racehorses use their bodies with this familiar kind of balance. However, to transition to horseback riding,

You must not think that your prize money will be taken away. Through integration, Seoul owners could also list horses in Busan and entrust them to well-managed trainers, potentially winning races held in Busan, and Busan owners could list horses in Seoul and claim victories in races held in Seoul. Isn’t it contradictory that our country’s central horse racing is in Seoul and its results don’t match those of Busan. There are only a few racetracks in the country, so they should be merged.

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,

I hope there will be many opportunities for conversation and communication.Members of the Korea Thoroughbred Breeders Association have been producing racehorses for about 25 years to date. We have worked very hard on production all this time, and it is the same even now. Although we cannot provide direct assistance to Gyeongju in practice, we are responsible for producing and supplying quality horses, so we will faithfully fulfill that role. Please also show interest in domestic horses.

Until the competitiveness of domestic horses improves, mixed racing with foreign horses should be delayed. For mixed racing, we initially planned to introduce only the first and second classes and then expand it later depending on market conditions, but currently there are cases where foreign horses are running in the fifth class and even winning. But that’s really dangerous.And with the price cap on imported horses lifted and expensive horses entering the race, winning is becoming inevitable,
