However, at this point, I am not quite sure what I can do or how I can help. I believe that trainers need to acquire advanced training technologies going forward. I believe that instead of stubbornly sticking to the old techniques learned from predecessors, we must learn new technologies even by inviting instructors from the Korea Racing Authority or the Trainers Association to quickly leap forward as a leading horse-riding nation that is not left behind in the world.

Since horse related events have rarely been held in Korea,this was a first for all of us, so there may have been some shortcomings. Still, I learned a lot, starting with myself and the contractor. The first time is hard, but since you’ve tried it, the next time will be easier. It is positive that the program compiles horse related content, from the Gyeonggi do Equestrian Competition to various symposiums and riding horse auctions. Due to venue constraints, it wasn't easy to hold the expo and equestrian competition together,

However, the opposition committee is firmly resisting, arguing that the pilot operation is merely a “trick” to change the situation and that the Korea Racing Authority is seriously infringing on educational conditions and residential environments under the guise of legal legitimacy, stating that they will not engage in any dialogue until the Yongsan off-track betting center is closed first.The Let's Run CCC Yongsan issue became a nationwide topic because the civic groups leading the opposition continuously tried to turn it into a political issue, while opposition politicians echoed their voices without showing any real willingness to address the core problem, prioritizing their own interests and thereby escalating the problem.

For example, if a riding horse auction had been held at Jangsu Ranch, which had the necessary facilities, things would have been much easier; these were all matters that required attention here. From the installation of yards and temporary stalls to managing the horses’ movement. Still, I think it was a major achievement that, for the first time in Korea, we set up such a large indoor pommel horse arena and offered a variety of performances, from horseback gymnastics to a pommel horse show, which received great enthusiasm.

If that happens, of course, there would be a cheaper way to ride horses.The reason our horse industry is weak is that most horses are imported, so I thought it was meaningful that a pony auction was being held as a process in which the foundation for production and trade is being built. For the horse industry base to expand, private riding clubs need to be revitalized, and the fact that such an event is being held in Icheon, a special horse industry zone, was taken into serious consideration.

Even today, horseback riding is generally thought of as a sport for the aristocracy. In reality, horseback riding isn’t easy unless you have some money. So I am focusing on youth equestrian training. In particular, they are promoting the Pony breed with an emphasis on helping young riders make horseback riding a part of their daily lives and popularizing it. For example, Icheon City has invested 240 million won in youth equestrian teams,

Meanwhile, a Korea Racing Authority official stated, "The implementation of Chuseok horse racing was already agreed upon last year through consultations between the implementing body and related organizations. In the end, they stated that the demands of the handlers’ union should be discussed with the trainers’ association rather than the implementing authority, and since the Chuseok horse racing event has already been announced both internally and externally, they view the implementation as a given.This year, the Korea Racing Authority, struggling to recover horse racing revenues amid various setbacks, is insisting on the necessity of Chuseok horse racing, while the jockeys’ union recognizes the need for additional races but is in a difficult tug-of-war demanding higher wages.

Currently, owners entrust their horses to trainers or handlers for training, but I believe that in the future, owners should conduct basic taming and training at their own farms or training centers, as is done abroad.I also think that Ma-ju needs to understand the characteristics of her own words in order to choose the right trainer and handler for them. For example, imagine entrusting a mature-type horse and a bottom-entry type horse to a trainer who prefers front-running and early-sleeping horses.

A Hanju resident opposing the opening did not hesitate to make remarks treating horse racing fans like criminals, saying, “Who would want to live in an area swarming with gamblers because of a gambling venue?”As a regular horse racing fan, I could only see the problem of portraying fellow fans as gamblers and potential criminals as serious. I believe that labeling horse racing fans as criminals is a greater crime and an abuse of power by a pressure group.Horse racing is an important industry that the state should promote. It should not be understood merely as betting, nor should the petty behavior of a tiny minority of fans be blown out of proportion. It is only partly due to the deep-rooted problems of some horse racing fans.

Does it make sense if Park Tae hwan says he wants to train at the Gwangju Municipal Swimming Pool instead of working out in Seoul, and you say no. That is what the media should be making a fuss about. That's not a problem. I don't think it's a problem for a national team player to say they want to train. When Yoo yeon came, I didn't even provide her with food, brought in a worker, and also brought in Coach Shin 00. I just lent them the barracks in Building 201.The media wrote that the 201 building's barracks were very good, but the worst one is the 201 building.

Right now,Samsung is supporting the association in its capacity, not for major competitions, but even that must be done by Samsung. If Samsung doesn't act, the equestrian world will struggle.Whether it was 1.5 billion or 1.6 billion won paid annually by the groups Samsung and Hanwha, or support provided for the association, there was a part of it that benefited the players. Since equestrianism does not receive government support, without corporate sponsorship, they cannot even compete and would find it difficult to participate in the Olympics.

Also, although it is a school break, I hope that students will not be mobilized to attend rallies. The behavior of activist elders and Seongsim Girls’ Middle and High School teachers, using students as hostages to push their own agenda, is utterly disgraceful. I believe the issue with the Yongsan off-track betting facility could serve as an opportunity to reflect on the path Korean horse racing has taken so far. Ultimately, focusing on sales may have led to the failure to properly address the negative impact off-site sales outlets have on local communities, which likely caused this situation. As a Yongsan resident, I hope a peaceful resolution can be found soon," he said.

Let's Run CCC Yongsan is a relocation and opening attempt by the Korea Racing Authority, which invested 120 billion won to build a facility and followed legal procedures in accordance with its three-year plan for over-the-road betting innovation. However, due to strong opposition from some residents and civic groups, the center failed to open last year, suffering huge losses, and after years of consecutive failures in the off-track betting business, it has been forced into a last-ditch stand with no room to retreat; if the Yongsan off-track betting center is closed, the foundation of the Korea Racing Authority could be shaken. Ultimately, the Korea Racing Authority pushed ahead with the four-month pilot program, stating that it would even shut it down if the problems raised by the opposition were to occur.

From the equestrian athletes’ perspective, such speculative reports are not favorable.The perception of equestrianism is already negative because of the Choi Soon-sil scandal, and speculative reports only deepen the misunderstanding that it has always been like that. It's not just about the equestrian in the article, is it.I hope that no innocent athletes' special admission students suffer because of Jung Yoo-ra. Most of the students have been active since they were young and still find time to exercise while attending school.

In its second statement, the Parents’ Coalition for Reviving Public Education warned that it would expose the existence of the residents’ countermeasure committee to the public for its illegal left-wing collusion and also file charges against politicians who use the virtual horse racing track for political gain.Earlier, on August 12, the National Parents’ Association for True Education issued a statement titled “Stop the Operation of Online Gambling Venues That Threaten Student Safety and the Educational Environment Immediately,” labeling off-track betting facilities as online gambling venues and claiming that “the Korea Racing Authority is completely ignoring its public duty to protect the environment around schools by focusing solely on the profits it gains from operating these gambling sites.”

How good is it for us to demand an apology from the president from the equestrian. I also fully understand the content of the press conference regarding the harm they suffered because of Choi Soon-sil. From their perspective, it must be incredibly unfair that Executive Director Park Won-oh came down to say something while the referee was watching and that they couldn't see the referee from then on.That's right. Not long ago, there was a Chairman's Cup equestrian competition in Sangju, and the Players' Association held a general meeting there.

If Samsung immediately steps down as chairman, how will the equestrian association be managed, and what will be done about next year’s competition? It makes no sense to demand Samsung's resignation without any countermeasures. It is a treatment that fails to consider our equestrian athletes and equestrians. What those people said at the press conference was as victims, not as representatives of all equestrians. That doesn't mean it's a consensus of all equestrians' opinions.

After watching the full video, I found some parts of the content that differed from our players’ views, so I requested an interview. I cannot agree with the part of the statement that tells Samsung and Hanwha to leave the equestrian world. I don't know if there are other concrete measures to address the equestrian association or its executives, but I disagree with responding to this situation emotionally without any plan.This is the part where they demanded the resignation of Samsung, the current chair company of the equestrian association.

During the Gyeongju horse racing trial, horses and their order are first drawn to assign them for the trial. Tutor Kwon Seung-joo and I were assigned the same horse, but I was assigned right after him. So, after watching Assistant Trainer Kwon take the practical exam, I thought it might help, and upon closer look, I realized his stirrup was too long.I tried to lengthen the stirrup by about two steps, but Trainer Kwon thought it wasn’t necessary since it was already long, so I kept riding as is—only to realize, oops, it couldn’t have been that short.

Even at the age of 83, he is still pounding the rice balls,he said, adding,As a rice cake maker, I also want to face life with a continuous learning attitude, just like my father.When asked about his impressions of Korean horse racing as a foreign groom, he said, Korean horse racing has a passionate spirit,adding,You can feel that not only fans but also those involved truly love and appreciate racehorses. I believe this is the driving force behind Korean horse racing," he replied.It was said that sharing and spreading are just as important as utilizing technology.

It is true that the working conditions of the managers, whose early morning shifts have become routine, have worsened due to the prolonged implementation of sunset racing and maintenance racing. On the other hand, it is also true that the implementation plan was announced in advance, so everyone knows that Chuseok horse racing will take place.Although everyone knows that Chuseok horse racing will be held, the conflict over its implementation is unlikely to subside easily as each side remains at a standstill.They also insisted that the person leading the opposition committee is engaging in mob rule by disregarding the order of liberal democracy, and that left-wing groups that ignore laws and institutions must disappear.
