TEST008

Despite efforts to reach an agreement with the opposition countermeasure committee through residents’ briefings, meetings, and conflict mediation procedures, the conflict among residents has only intensified without any reasonable alternatives to resolve it, due to the opposition’s unconditional opposition and the division and erosion of representation by opposition groups. Therefore, it was judged that a resolution through consultation was impossible.The Korea Racing Authority stated that it would make a final decision after a temporary trial opening of the Yongsan sales outlet, but the “Yongsan Virtual Horse Racing Gambling Ban Committee,” composed of 17 civic groups including People’s Solidarity for Participatory Democracy and local residents, mobilized about 100 personnel over the two days of June 28–29 to block off the entrance to the Yongsan off-track betting facility and prevent horse racing customers from entering, making it impossible to conduct the trial operation as normally intended.

Because everyone is interested in horse training. The greatest difficulty is that we must lead the divided horse training fields together. There is a concern about how we can bring them together as one, given that trainers are scattered across the country and that horse racing and equestrianism appear divided, with an invisible gap still persisting. So in the first year, I intend to focus heavily on integration and work hard to come up with solutions. Training doesn’t mean separating horseback riding and horse racing

As the opposition committee strongly protested the trial opening, the Korea Racing Authority formed an emergency task force related to LetsRun CCC Yongsan, chaired by Chairman Hyun Myung-kwan, and launched a company-wide response.Following the first week of the trial opening, the second week also arrived on July 4, and the opposition has continued illegal business disruptions, including rallies and blocking the entrance to the Yongsan off-track betting facility. Attention is now focused on what solutions the Korea Racing Authority’s Emergency Response Committee may be able to find.They also plan to monitor whether concerns have been resolved, hold ongoing discussions on ongoing issues, review the donation, and form a residents’ participation council composed of about 10 people, including the residents’ countermeasure committee, Yongsan District residents, and the Korea Racing Authority, to revitalize the cultural center.

First, I plan to present on a topic related to training at the first symposium. We also plan to hold a horse massage seminar, which many people in the horse industry are very interested in. People are interested in horse massage, but they don’t know how to do it or what effects it has, so it seems good to create an opportunity like this. Rather than just delivering theory, I plan to structure it around practical exercises that participants can try themselves.Also, as horses undergo training, lactic acid builds up.

Winning the grand prize made me think of two things. I’m grateful to receive such a great award, even though I haven’t made much of a significant contribution to the horse industry. And on the other hand, I thought it also meant urging them to work even harder for the development of the horse industry. Thank you.In the second half of last year, we held the founding members’ meeting and inaugural general assembly of the Korean Language Trainers Association, and recently, two to three weeks ago,

He is currently an assistant trainer at LetsRun Park Pukyong and a professor at Seorabeol University, actively working to train the next generation of talent. In particular, in November of last year, he was highly praised for his various contributions to the founding of the Korean Speech Trainer Association and was elected its first president. We met with Kwon Seung-joo, president of the Korea Horse Trainers Association, who has a bold ambition to establish a training role model suited to Korea’s circumstances

Education Expo and further deepen its development. At this meeting, there are plans to hold a roundtable discussion on ways to hold a winter youth equestrian camp utilizing the excellent equestrian facilities of institutions specializing in training professionals in the horse industry. We have asked Professor Jang Seok-am of Dankook University, who is currently the president of the Chungnam Equestrian Federation, to conduct a meeting. By utilizing the excellent equestrian facilities

Just as the saying “Send people to Seoul, send horses to Jeju” is being told like a bible, most of the racehorse production in Korea takes place in Jeju. The reality is that racehorse breeding in Korea is classified into Jeju and inland areas.However, Jeju, surrounded by the sea on all sides, is already showing signs of saturation at racehorse breeding farms. The reality of racehorse production, rushing toward mass supply, is causing fierce competition among breeding farms. In addition, the preference for private-bred mares has declined due to the concentration of high-priced mares at the Korea Racing Authority, while corporate-style production farms are emerging and small-scale production farms are facing difficulties.

Previously, we kept the competition course hidden and did not disclose it, but since student equestrianism emphasizes an educational purpose, I don’t think that is necessarily necessary. So we will set the course exactly so that, from the preliminaries to the finals, we can all run on the same course. As mentioned earlier, by watching videos of preliminary matches held in each region, on-site coaches can assess which areas you are weak in and which parts you need to work on improving, enabling on-site coaching.

Among youth equestrian events, there is the “Hunter” event, which evaluates the accuracy of posture. Student horseback riding should have an educational purpose aimed at guiding riders to ride accurately rather than focusing on achieving good immediate grades. Therefore, they plan to promote an event called “Korea Standard Jumping,” which is an adaptation of the “Hunter competition.” Former president Lee Jong-eun also privately organized and conducted training related to the “Hunter competition” for student equestrianism,

Nowadays, most families have only one or two children, so they may lack social skills and emotional bonding abilities, but if education is provided through horses as animal-assisted learning, children can become more refined and develop their ability to connect emotionally. I plan to strengthen etiquette education going forward.In addition, there is a great need to promote the positive aspects of horseback riding. Just looking at last year’s youth equestrian club competition, children gathered from all over the country.

If the competition footage filmed here were broadcast live, people anywhere in the country could watch equestrian competitions from other regions. You can watch the youth competition held on Imjado, Sinan, Jeollanam-do, without having to go in person to Gangneung, Gangwon Province, where a student equestrian athlete is competing. The Student Equestrian Association does not intend to take the lead in organizing competitions; instead, we plan to allow each regional association to take the lead.

Since most of the student equestrian association’s executives are doing it alongside their main jobs, there are some shortcomings in accounting management and meeting facilitation. So I am in contact with someone who is well acquainted with accounting management and also has a good understanding of equestrianism.Because he was said to be close with Executive Director Park Won-oh and Director Park Jae-hong, he was pushed around and around, and before anyone knew it he had become Choi Soon-sil’s man. But that’s absolutely not true.

Originally, there was a plan to hold a youth equestrian competition at the plaza in front of Seoul City Hall, but it didn’t go well. Then it was changed to a park behind the National Assembly building in Yeouido, Seoul, and the project was relaunched, and it seemed like it might go well, but in the end it fell through. Ultimately, it was finally changed to be held within the Korea Racing Authority, and the association decided to handle everything directly, from organizing the event to setting up the venue.

We also plan to get consulting from experts and, if there are talented people, recruit them to work with us. There was a time when the Korea Racing Authority commissioned a sports marketing expert to conduct an analysis in an effort to develop ways to revitalize equestrian competitions. They plan to seek help from fellow sports marketing experts, including visiting Professor Jeong Hee-yoon of Hanyang University, who was in charge of the commissioned project at the time. If necessary, I also intend to show the attitude of making three visits and one earnest request.

Choi Byung-wook, who was elected in a by-election held due to the resignation of the previous president and began serving as the head of student equestrianism, is a former equestrian athlete who has been widely regarded as the right person to lead student equestrianism after gaining experience across the entire horse industry, including serving as an executive of the former Student Equestrian Federation, an executive of the Owners’ Association, and an outside director of the Korea Racing Authority.

In the equestrian world, it is often said that Korean equestrian success depends on youth and student equestrian training. It also means that many equestrians share the understanding of the importance of youth and student equestrianism. With former president Choi Byung-wook successfully securing re-election in the 36th election for president of the Korea Student Equestrian Federation held on the 6th, the Korea Student Equestrian Federation can now accelerate efforts to consistently revitalize youth and student equestrian programs.

By crossing an Arab horse and a Han ram, which show strengths in endurance and handling obstacles, and registering them as a half-Arab horse, “Jeju Arab horse,” you can do so. The Arab horses participating in the international competition are also semi-Arab horses bred with stallions registered in terms of bloodline. You only need to go through the pedigree registration process. In two years, there will be dozens of Arab horses in Jeju. Creating positive messaging, hosting a world competition,

Let’s take a look at the story of Champion Ranch, run by owner Kim Yang-ho, who feels joy in the life of horse racing enthusiasts that began with meeting the “Perfect Champion.”Race 6, May 18, 2014. Jockey Ham Wan-sik has now ridden the rookie horse “Yesin Nobu,” which is just entering its second race. She had a good build and high expectations, but as a rookie, you can’t recklessly guarantee a win. With outstanding agility, it burst out of the gate, but had already lost the lead to the rival horse, “Empress Dongjin.” Jockey Ham Wan-sik boldly gave up leading and chose to follow. Just as he entered the final line and was about to gain real momentum, another crisis struck when he collided with the opponent horse leaning inward.
