Meanwhile, the relocation candidates who actually live within the racecourse park project site demanded that Yeongcheon City take the lead in providing appropriate compensation and establishing a relocation complex close to the current village so that residents can settle, while some residents of Daepyeong-ri, whose homes are included in the main access road, called for the establishment of measures to allow them to relocate to the racecourse park relocation complex.Hwang Seok-gon, head of the Yeongcheon City Horse Racing Park Promotion Team, said, "We are striving to develop Yeongcheon Race Park not just as a horse racing venue, but as a beautiful, world-class park that everyone will want to revisit and that could stand proudly anywhere in the world."

Domestic horses, including 'Triple Nine,' usually raced in Korea at intervals of five to six weeks. But in Dubai, he played every 20 days on average, a shorter interval. I raced four times over three months: January 19, February 9, March 5, and March 25. Because it was such a nice-sounding phrase, it didn't show on the surface, but I couldn't help thinking that I might have been drained of energy. Looking back, I can’t shake the thought that if they hadn’t played twice in the Dubai World Cup Carnival,

Whenever my horse runs in a regular race, I drop everything and head to the racetrack. In fact, doing a 9 to 10-hour long flight at a relatively young age is no easy task. However, I think it is the owner's duty to be there when their horse is galloping. And there are also things I must see. I'm not exactly free, but I think it ultimately depends on one's determination.Looking back now, I can’t help but feel regret that I only got to play one match at the Dubai World Cup Carnival.

Although we achieved many accomplishments last year, we must not be satisfied and must repeatedly reflect on the areas where we fell short and achieve clear improvements.”

Following a poor performance in October, his results in November were also disappointing, so he spent two months resting. Perhaps because of that experience, participating in an international competition was not entirely welcome, and I felt a sudden reluctance to take part. So I asked which horses would be competing in Korea, and they said 'Power Blade,' 'Mainstay,Different Dimension,and 'Seoul Bullet' would be participating.Since 'Triple Nine' was selected as the national representative horse for two consecutive years,

Looking at examples abroad, older people also enjoy horseback riding. In South Korea, older people may not be able to hike due to leg pain, but if they know how to ride a horse a little, they can definitely go on an outing. Many local governments are creating cross-country cycling routes, and since these trails are not strictly for running, I think they will establish themselves as a suitable leisure activity even for older people.An MOU has already been signed with Jeju National University,

However, the Jangjesa Association within the Korea Racing Authority proposed that our association purchase a booth at KINTEX and operate it together with the association. I thought it was a good idea and was going to do so, but the organizers said that gas cylinders or stovetops for burning cannot be used indoors. At that moment, they received a request to set up a jangje booth next to the venue of a horseback riding competition in Gyeonggi Province to help boost the event’s atmosphere.Since I couldn't conduct the funeral indoors,

Until last year, we did not request support from the association, but this year we requested support from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry for the first time. When I submitted plans for crop system education, competitions, and training to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, I was told that since the ministry oversees more than one association, it could not provide support for the requests of any association. That's a given and a valid point. When I asked if there was any way to provide at least partial support,

At the time, I was puzzled because I didn't understand what they were saying, but later I realized it was incredibly embarrassing. After returning to Korea, the Korean funeral directors who had gone to Japan for training did not pass on the skills and information they had learned from their juniors, instead carrying those skills onto their own shoulders. After learning the reason, I thought that if things continued like this, it would be difficult for our textile technology to progress.

You have to give the horse attention and love. Actually, it's more fun to raise them than to ride horses. If you give love, they become closer than a friend. In words, they are pets and companion animals closest to people. There was a time when I used to play music every morning to wake the horses up. A true horseman should know that, instead of overworking his horse to death, it is important to ride by observing the horse’s breathing and then his own.

It is expected to contribute to enhancing the image of horse racing by drawing national interest and support through a Korea-Japan race, much like the Korea-Japan soccer match. The prize money is 250 million won, and the hosting racecourse will cover all related expenses, including transportation fees for invited racehorses and airfare for racehorse officials.Using the 2013 Korea-Japan Equestrian Festival as a foothold, the Korea Racing Authority plans to promote international invitation races starting in 2014 by inviting racehorses from countries including Japan, the United States, Australia, Hong Kong, Macau, and Malaysia. Furthermore, in 2022, the plan is to expand international racehorse exchange racing both in scale and quality to host world-class horse racing events comparable to the Kentucky Derby in the United States, the Epsom Derby in the United Kingdom, the Melbourne Cup in Australia, and the Japan Cup in Japan.

With the development of patches, equestrian wear has become much more fashionable than it once was. It has advanced to the point where, even if ordinary people wear them casually, they are hardly distinguishable from riding attire. Because the riding outfit has such a flattering fit, it can sometimes feel like you're just wearing a jacket. I hope this becomes riding attire that allows us to go out to the riding arena and return home wearing our clothes like this.

And we worked tirelessly to ensure reasonable pricing. In fact, considering the fabric and production process, the price should have gone up, but as someone in the equestrian fashion business, I wondered why I had to follow traditional conventions. Therefore, they worked hard on pricing so that first-time riders would feel it was reasonable when purchasing the clothes. Given the current pricing policy, we may incur losses at first, but over time, I think all equestrians will come to favor Penakova. So I set it at 50% of the original price.
