Chairman Lee Yang-ho, who emphasized internal and external cooperation with the slogan "Let's help unconditionally, let's help infinitely, let's help what we can't help, let's help before calling" at the inauguration ceremony, has been on the site since his inauguration. Ahead of the Lunar New Year's Day, he appeared in person at nearby traditional markets and children's centers for social contribution events for the vulnerable in the region, which continued steadily during his term. With the motto of "Let's take a step ahead, let's look far and do our best" as a work philosophy, he launched the Future Development Strategy Establishment TF to check large-scale investment projects and improve organizational and manpower operations.

The Korea Racing Authority ultimately pushed ahead with the four-month pilot operation, saying that if the problems the opposition side cited occurred, they would even shut it down.However, the opposition committee is firmly opposing the pilot operation, calling it nothing more than a “trick” to change the political narrative, and arguing that the Korea Racing Authority is seriously infringing on educational conditions and living environments under the guise of formal legality, stating that they will not engage in any dialogue until the Yongsan off-track betting center is closed first.The issue of the Let’s Run CCC Yongsan became a nationwide issue because the civic groups leading the opposition side have been constantly trying to turn it into a political issue, and at the same time, opposition politicians have echoed their voices without showing any real will to address the core of the problem, prioritizing their own interests instead, thereby escalating the issue.

Lee Yang-ho, a native of Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province, who was inaugurated as the 35th head of the Korea Racing Authority on December 19 last year, entered public service with the 26th administrative notice and served as the 25th head of the Rural Development Administration, including the head of planning and coordination office at the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. After taking the post of chairman of the Korea Racing Authority, which is the head of the horse industry, he drew attention by dispelling concerns about "falling mountains.

Both the assistant teacher and the horse manager may have complaints, but I hope they will make concessions to each other and make efforts to improve them step by step over time. Ryu Joo-young, who wants to be remembered as a good example of facing each other, hopes something good will happen next year, the sixth year after his debut. When we first encountered each other, he said he was in a position to learn rather than make a profit for five years. As he said, he learned a lot by paying expensive tuition for two to three years when he was not familiar with horses, and now he has his own know-how.

Although it has made rapid progress compared to the past, the domestic horse racing industry is still at the level of underdeveloped countries. There are areas that need to be gradually improved over time, and the improvement of the environment of the horse race is one of them. I hope that the horse race society will also make efforts to improve the environment for the horse race. The horse race will make efforts to change on its own, but it may change faster if the Korean Horse Racing Association, the implementation of the horse race, provides factors to change the environment for the horse race. I don't know if it is still doing it, but it shows many horses directly to many horses.

Korea Racing Authority Chairman Hyun Myung-kwan said, “It is very encouraging that the pilot operation of the Yongsan off-track betting facility has been recognized as legitimate by judicial authorities. Through the pilot operation of the Yongsan branch, we will make every effort to break away from old practices and use it as a milestone for branch innovation.”As a fan who usually enjoys horse racing, I could only see the problem of portraying horse racing fans as gamblers and potential criminals as something serious. I think labeling horse racing fans as criminals is an even bigger 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.

Younghee's Generation" and "Gyeongju's Durebak." I look forward to seeing good results in these words. It may be a matter of solidarity, but I want to be remembered as an exemplary case for those who face each other. Although I paid very expensive tuition for a few years since my debut in 2012, I have spent the first five years that I thought about, and now that I'm getting good grades starting this year, I'm getting greedy. And now that we've met each other, I want to become a top-class man who achieves the highest score.

It further ruled, “Protests in a peaceful manner are permitted, but occupying a building or a site exceeds freedom of expression.”It also stated in the decision that, considering the fact that the association has expressed its intention to continue the illegal acts even after the court’s “recommendation for settlement” in July, and that the association has suffered significant business losses as a result, the need for preservation is recognized.The court’s ruling to grant the provisional injunction is being accepted as a matter of course. After the court in July had already notified both the Korea Racing Authority and the opposing party of a settlement recommendation ordering them to resolve the issue through mutual consultation, the Korea Racing Authority agreed to accept it, whereas the opposing party insisted on the closure unconditionally and filed an objection, so it was naturally the case that the injunction application was granted.

Rather, it will be not the development of horse racing, but the regression of stepping back. Rather than direct employment, I think efforts are needed to make up for the shortcomings by referring to the institutional system currently implemented in Let's Run Park Seoul. They say that their minds should change first rather than roles. Although they have invested, there are many faces who want to make a profit right away by watching over a certain period of time. Those thoughts are wrong. A lot of improvement is needed. Horse racing development means that the horse society will eventually grow with the national growth, and the Korean horse racing will go to the G1 and G2 advanced horse racing.

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.

In this ruling, the Seoul Western District Court decided to “admit” all the matters in the provisional injunction application submitted by the Korea Racing Authority regarding the prohibition of acts such as business interference.The court decided to pay 500,000 won per instance to each of the nine members of the opposition committee for any acts that would obstruct access to or passage through the Yongsan off-track betting facility building and its land, as well as the entry of Korea Racing Authority executives, employees, and customers. It was also stipulated that the same amount be paid when they have other people obstruct business.The court pointed out in its judgment, “Although they claim that the establishment of the off-track sales office itself is illegal, they have only argued that opening the off-track sales office would infringe upon their environmental rights, housing rights, and right to learn, and have failed to provide any evidence to support the claim of legal defects.”

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.

A Korea Racing Authority official said, “In a country governed by the rule of law, the judicial body, the most credible institution, has made a reasonable decision,” adding, “In accordance with the court’s final ruling, we will do our utmost to ensure the pilot program is implemented as planned to promptly resolve the deepening conflict.”After the court issued a ruling upholding the injunction request to prohibit business interference, the opposition committee stated, “The targets we intend to criticize through the rally are not the customers of the Korea Racing Authority site who pushed ahead with operations without consulting the residents,” adding, “We will continue the rally demanding the withdrawal of the store’s opening as long as it does not interfere with the Korea Racing Authority’s business.”

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.
