Whether it is an assistant teacher or a horse manager, we should gather and come up with the best plan to make it hard to understand why we are going on strike. Everyone did not sincerely engage in negotiations for their own benefit. It is not just anyone who is to blame, but all of them are to blame. The horse society, assistant teachers, and horse managers are all to blame. There should never be a strike. For the development of horse racing, everyone has to make little concessions and come up with good plans to resolve the problem as soon as possible.

Excessive interference can create a situation where they touch each other's pride, and mutual trust does not build at all. That's why I tend not to interfere at all. However, there is one thing that can be regarded as interference, and this is the part where horses are fed. I always talk about that when I go to a bar room, I believe that whether it's good or bad, you have to eat well to run well. I leave everything else to the assistant teachers freely. It is up to the assistant teachers to decide who to pick up the rider and how to train them. I don't know exactly why the strike was decided, but I think the strike itself is wrong.

Something is going well this year, which has been five years since its debut in 2012. At first, I didn't know much about horses, so I only listened to people's stories and bought them, but there were many failures. I studied my own way using such failures for two or three years. First of all, I studied the ancestry of horses, which is most important, and changed the way I chose horses. I searched for advice from at least two or three assistant teachers to refer to horses for purchase. In the past, many people used to purchase horses only after hearing the opinions of one assistant teacher, but it seems that the result was good because they purchased words that were recommended overlapping among the words recommended by several assistant teachers.

On November 26, I met Ryu at the face-to-face room in Pukyong, Let's Run Park, and I shed light on the Korean horse racing and the life of the face-to-face. I debuted as a face-to-face in 2012. As I was in the position of running a business, I was interested in the world, and I read about four or five newspapers every day. At that time, I became interested in the 'horse industry' after seeing newspaper articles that said the country would foster the horse industry as a policy at the time. I thought that if Korea also entered the ranks of advanced countries, the 'horse industry' could develop into an industry. I thought it would be good to buy a horse myself, buy a ranch in Jeju, raise a horse, and face it in person. So, I bought a horse and came face to face with it.

However, it is not necessarily the only way to learn how to ride horses. Not many of the athletes who are famous in foreign countries have actually succeeded because they are rich. Everyone works hard to learn and continues to develop their talents. In the process, you build up your skills and meet a good sponsor and bring good results. There are only a few top players who succeed with their financial resources. It's not always about buying good horses. The Hanova Horse Racing Authority is a horse-riding center that horses like more than people. People may not like it a little because it's a little far away, but horses feel comfortable.

Nick Skelton became the oldest gold medalist at the Rio Olympics at the age of 60. I also want to take good care of my health and live a long career. Of course, I will attend. We saw each other and greeted each other even on the morning of the match, but when we arrived at the stadium, we rushed to the news that an accident had occurred. It made no sense to me, and I gave up the rest of the match. I really didn't want to ride a horse at that time, and it's still a heartbreaking memory. In particular, the late Kim Hyung-chil was always nice to my juniors, and many people liked his human side. I miss him a lot.

If a player hosts a competition with high prize money, outstanding players will try to achieve better results, and the number of students who want to ride horses naturally increases. As in all sports, there are also young aspiring athletes who want to catch up after watching their success stories. Equestrian events are the same. I think it's negative. Which company would sponsor horseback riding at this point in time? It is difficult to get support even in a good atmosphere, and it is questionable whether the company can make official investments at a time when companies and businessmen involved in horseback riding are targeted.

Koreans are certainly talented people. If you have an opportunity to ride horses or learn, I recommend you do as much as you can. Korea is recognized for its ability in various areas. In some areas, it may be the world's top. I hope the juniors will think that we can do it rather than thinking that we can't. First of all, the crisis of Korean horseback riding seems to be right now. The biggest problem is that there are no students to lead as leaders right now. Many athletes must be produced and developed together, but there are no new athletes after the Choi Soon-sil incident. For professional sports athletes, it is a matter of livelihood.

Even young children can tell whether they are good enough or not. However, when there are several people who cannot ride together, it is difficult to find out who is good at riding. That is only when experts' judgment is needed. In general, horses that run high and fast are good for obstacles. In dressage, horses that have large movements and move as if they are dancing are good horses. An athlete is a good rider who rests well on a horse without much fluctuation. There is no need to think hard about horseback riding. Hwang Sun-won said, "Recently, I feel more of a crisis facing the horseback riding world after the Choi Soon-sil incident.

And when I went on a horse, I thought I wanted to try it, so I started riding it every weekend as a hobby. My wife had been an equestrian for several years when I was a student. I've been working very hard over the years, so when I was playing D-class, my wife ran S-class. I'm not currently a player. My daughter is a senior in high school, and she's a dressage training player at the Valios Horseback Riding Club. It was a very short period of time. There was a little bit of dressage at the horse racing course specializing in dressage, and even the stumbling block has to learn the basic dressage. However, it's not a personal favorite sport.

But he was gentle compared to an ordinary Holsteiner. That was only for people. He was very aggressive towards other horses, especially Sumal. He even threw his front paws up when he ran into him while passing by. He was very nice to people, but he was very rough with horses. Lilibro' was my second horse, which I rode at the same time as 'Seed Chaps'. 'Libro' was definitely a horse with great ability, but it had a slightly lazy side. That's why he tended to cross obstacles well. Personally, it means a lot to me. It was a horse that contributed greatly to earning mileage by participating in various European competitions. He was registered as a reserve horse during the Olympics. Later, he came to Korea and worked.

First of all, getting a ticket to the Olympics was difficult, but the process of getting a ticket to the Olympics was also difficult. This is because we had to perform well at a number of Grand Prix events rather than performing well in one or two events. Perhaps this is why the athletes training together for the Olympics at the time wondered if advancing to the Olympics could become a reality. The coaches, coaches, and sponsors must have felt the same way at the time. The wall of the world was too high, and Korean horseback riding was far behind him. Going to the Olympics was originally a dream because horseback riding was not only in good condition,

The Integrated Supervisory Commission on the Gambling Industry (ISC), directly under the Prime Minister’s Office, is pushing to implement an electronic card system for the gambling industry, including horse racing, sparking controversy over excessive regulation and risks of information leakage.On February 23, the Integrated Supervisory Commission on the Gambling Industry held its 83rd plenary meeting in the conference room on the 4th floor of the Government Seoul Office and decided to reconsider the recommendation centered on the “Basic Policy for the Implementation of Electronic Cards in the Sports Betting Industry and the Expanded Implementation in 2015.” This was based on the judgment that further discussions are necessary, given the many points of controversy.

There is also controversy over alleged violations of users’ human rights and consumer rights.An industry insider pointed out, “According to the electronic card implementation plan, it would collect sensitive biometric information such as users’ finger vein patterns, which could raise concerns about personal information exposure and lead users to avoid it, perceiving it as a fingerprint or seal.” He also lamented, “Although the government has said it is working to legitimize the underground economy, illegal gambling markets are growing tremendously, and the resulting social problems such as tax revenue outflow and gambling addiction are becoming serious,” adding, “It is not right to leave illegal activities unchecked while regulating only the legal ones.”

As a result of the draw, signs of interference through organized collusion were detected in the three races, and since this was deemed fatal to fairness—the very lifeblood of sports—it was unavoidable to cancel those three races. In the subsequent registration and application for participation in the second week of February, there was no such collusion, so the horse racing was conducted normally.Until the day the “Incomplete Life” innovation plan is “fully realized,” the Korea Racing Authority will, with principle and patience, work together with all stakeholders through the “Horse Racing Industry Crisis Overcoming Council” and, in unity with related organizations, communicate and consult continuously.

The loss of existing users could also accelerate the expansion of the illegal market. Therefore, voices are growing that, rather than applying the electronic card system uniformly, autonomous measures to promote soundness should be encouraged while taking into account its particular characteristics.If I were to sum up horse racing innovation in one phrase, it would be "openness, competition, and market expansion." It is to raise the quality and value of horse racing products and turn the current crisis into an opportunity for rebirth. To this end, after consultations and coordination with related organizations, in January 2015, we completed the final draft centered on the rating system, raising the purchase price cap for imported horses, and implementing integrated racing limited to Group 1 and 2.

As one of the key figures in the horse racing community, I believe the position where our Majoo stands is extremely important. However, having been involved and observed for more than 20 years, the fact is that we, given its importance, have not been able to speak with one voice together with a sense of community. The divisions that emerged within the Korea Racing Authority Association in response to the forced implementation of this innovation plan can be seen as the problems that had been within us erupting outward. Under the current circumstances, the Korea Racing Authority cannot exert any force. I always thought that I wanted to create a space for face-to-face dialogue, build consensus, and come to an agreement on the problems. I have boldly expressed my intention to run, hoping to turn this crisis into an opportunity for a turnaround.

The committee was originally scheduled to pass a policy to implement electronic cards, but it reportedly failed to do so 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 Board of Audit and Inspection’s full implementation plan for electronic cards is a legal system that requires individuals to load funds onto cards containing their personal information and use them when participating in all legal gambling industries, including horse racing, bicycle racing, motorboat racing, casinos, lotteries, and professional sports, as well as sports promotion lottery tickets (Sports Toto). Once the electronic card is introduced, users of the gambling industry will have to obtain a card, load cash onto it, and place bets instead of using the current cash purchase method, and the card issuance process is designed to recognize fingerprints (vein patterns).

However, driven by a sense of duty to eradicate it as quickly as possible, we have devoted ourselves to preventing further spread of the disease and bringing it to an early end through prompt and thorough testing and epidemiological investigations.And on September 28, after the discovery of imported red imported fire ants through a preliminary inspection at the container yard of Gamman Pier in Busan Port, all available personnel were mobilized to strengthen quarantine and surveillance at major ports.

Pohang earthquake last year, it is clear that Korea’s horse industry also lacks a solid production base and could collapse in an instant. Just as we design earthquake-resistant structures, we should once again review Korea’s horse industry policies and, supported by policies and investments that enable mutual growth and development, hope to see the completion of Part II and the dawn of a natural era of Part I through the production of domestic horses that surpass foreign ones.

I believe that being the head of an association is not a position of exercising authority, but one of serving. Rather than leading with leadership, my goal is to find the glue that brings the whole together and connect it well for the sake of integration. I think that glue is horse racing. No matter how old a friend is, if there is no shared interest, it will quickly become awkward and distant. But if there is a common denominator, even someone you just met will soon open your heart and hold your hand. We share a common interest in horse racing. If we can simply discover the fun of horse racing, even if it doesn’t lead us to golf or other outward pursuits, I believe we can still connect deeply.
