Just as foreign pop music gave birth to K-POP through the fusion of Korean culture, I believe a marketing experiment is needed to infuse our culture into the global sport of horse racing, and I see this as the key to its future. In conclusion, we believe that for Korean horse racing to develop, it must combine competitiveness, fairness, and policy-making with cooperation, communication, and a vision for the future, and the New Business Division is undertaking part of that work.The biggest concern for LetsRun Park Seoul was mainly how to utilize its own land. If the approximately 40,000-pyeong site is utilized effectively, it would provide a foundation to achieve both improved public perception of horse racing and social public benefit.

It appears without fail at any equestrian venue or event, breathing alongside equestrians. They are leading equestrian promotion by using all kinds of broadcasting equipment to live-stream the competitions and by re-editing and uploading dressage videos, which can sometimes feel dull. Penakova, who is dedicated to spreading horse culture in various ways, won the Grand Prize in the Horse Culture category at the 19th Horse Industry Awards.

Just as Park Se-ri paved the way for domestic golfers when they couldn't reach the world stage, and Park Chan-ho opened the door for Korean baseball players to enter the Major Leagues, there is a sense that 'Triple Nine' has played at least a part in that. I hope a second and third 'Triple Nine' will emerge in the future.Choi Byung-bu and his wife undertook a long-distance journey of about 10 hours four times each, from the Dubai World Cup Carnival to the Dubai World Cup,

First, the horse stable area is large, and each one is equipped with air conditioning. And everything is pleasant. Next to it is a grassland for exercise; the grassland attached to the village of Masah, where eight dogs live, is only about one thousand pyeong. This is something we cannot imagine. It's true that this is possible because Dubai is a wealthy country. Even if it doesn't reach that point, the current aging of the massage system also needs to be addressed first.

Even on the day of the interview,Choi Byung-bu showed his special affection by personally checking on Triple Nine’s' safety. A corner of Chairman Choi Byung-bu’s office filled with horse-related plaques.I’m considering about four domestic races for this year. There are about four events: the Busan Mayor’s Cup in July, the Korea Cup in September, the President’s Cup, and the Grand Prix. I'm also considering letting him run a regular workout session in the middle.There may be many reasons why Triple9 has come this far, including good management,

In a way, I believe the horse racing industry has continued to operate just as it did when it first emerged. However, society has changed at an unpredictable pace, and I believe that ICT is the driving force behind these changes. In this regard, I see the integration of horse racing and ICT as the path forward. ICT can alleviate the high-cost structure of the horse racing industry and provide a ubiquitous environment with diverse information that can be enjoyed anytime and anywhere. No matter how much horse racing is conducted under international and universal rules, I believe it must evolve to reflect the contemporary needs of its people or customers in order to survive.

Yoshida Ma-ju shows me videos and brags about how much she boasts to me. Even though we won when we faced each other. Honestly, from an objective standpoint, the difference with Japan is indeed significant. The difference was clear just by looking at the number of equestrian officials who visited Dubai. There were only about ten horse racing officials from Korea in total, whereas Japan had around 30 to 40 journalists, and including staff, it seemed to be about 100.Last Sunday, a plaque of appreciation ceremony for the Dubai World Cup was held at LetsRun Park Pukyong.

Just as a basketball player passes because they believe the other player will be there and will catch the ball if they throw at that speed, the horse racing industry can be said to have laid the foundation for growth when a culture of cooperation among its stakeholders operates smoothly. The other is communicability. Today, the entire global community is connected through social media. This is an era where you cannot survive without engaging with customers or audiences. In the field of sports, soccer has faced concerns similar to ours. As the number of football players declines, the global football community is in crisis, and the weapon to overcome this is the digitalization of the sport.

Our team, 'Triple Nine,' had played in the rain and on wet sand before, so we thought that if the rain continued, we would have the advantage. But it stopped raining on the morning of the race, and it didn't rain when I actually started running.I met Yoshida Mazu of Japan in Dubai. It is the face of the famous Japanese phrase nani.We faced off in Super Saturday, and 'Triple Nine' finished fifth while 'Nani' came in sixth, so we won. At the venue, Ambassador Park Kang-ho and his wife joked,Still, Japan won.

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.

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,

test008

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.

Some of the supported horses are not suitable for beginners,but they are paying special attention to them, including reassigning them.The book also did not overlook the exercise benefits and functions of horseback riding.He emphasized that although many people regard horseback riding as a high-end sport, calling it the best exercise for physical and mental health,it should become more accessible.When he visited Italy, he was impressed by the well-equipped stallion facilities at a private riding club and by members riding

Because I am grateful for words that protect my health and offer their backs for me. The horses carrying Mr. Gu Ja-woon also seemed to express their gratitude to him with their eyes.It was a stroke of luck to find Haman County Equestrian Park, where I could ride horses I love in my later years, anytime. Mr. Gu Ja-woon said,Haman County Equestrian Park is a great blessing to our residents.They said that a safe facility,safe horses,and an excellent system had come together,

Until now, we have approached horse racing from three different perspectives. These are the principles of competitiveness based on winning and losing, fairness in minimizing rational advantages and disadvantages among prize components, and policy principles seeking equity and reasonable distribution among the members of the racing system. However, this applies not only to the world of horse racing but equally to the management activities of all sports and businesses. Until now, the Korea Racing Authority has been so fixated on the obvious principles of running horse racing that it has neglected the principles necessary for future development and advancement. Leisure consumption, including betting, is changing rapidly.

Soccer is seeking revival by creating a culture of sharing—connecting players with audiences and audiences with each other—through social media. I believe that if the culture of communication between spectators and the racers (horses and jockeys) does not become active, and if there is no shared story among the audience, things will become increasingly difficult in the future. A system should be established to communicate with the audience throughout the entire race, ensuring that the horse’s breathing, the jockey’s breath, screams, and shouts are transmitted vividly over the air. Fields like this must be developed quickly for the survival of horse racing. And it is the future that we need to ponder more deeply.

Chairman Lee Geon-yeong's support, we researched methods to remove bad walls, manage retired horses, and maintain stable hygiene. I even managed and raised as many as sixteen horses. While doing various kinds of research, I happened to discover that horses like bathing the day after the sand turns, and I especially liked the sand from Hapcheon Lake, so I even imported it to build a horse bathhouse and swimming pool. It was so happy to go beside a sleeping horse,

Even on the afternoon of Saturday, February 25, when I covered Haman County Equestrian Park, Mr. Gu was once again showing off his enduring vigor, riding a horse without fail. At first, I just thought he was an elderly man who had been riding for a long time, but my perception soon changed. Having dismounted, he was talking to the horse on the stirrup post as he gave it the carrots and sugar he had brought from home.Jo Gyeong-je, director of Haman County Equestrian Park,
