Even if ordinary people wear it on a daily basis, it is developing to the point where it is difficult to distinguish horse-riding clothes. The horse-riding suit itself has such a good fit that you may feel like you are wearing jeans. In this way, I hope it will be a horse-riding outfit that allows us to dress up in our own clothes and come back home. Penakova Korea will hold a unique fashion show for horse-riding clothes with students from Jeju National University on May 25 at Jeju National University. The plan is to approach the general public as a fashion item beyond just horse-riding clothes. Penakova Korea aims to become a sports brand company that can be used as everyday clothes, beyond a company that makes horse-riding clothes for horseback riding.

We are making high-quality products. It may not be the same as European horseback riding products, but it seems that it has risen to a similar level to a certain extent. And I worked hard to set a reasonable price. In fact, considering the fabric and the manufacturing process, the price should increase, but I thought, "Do I have to follow the existing customs as a horse-riding fashion business?" So, I tried to set the price so that those who are new to horseback riding might feel reasonable when they buy and wear clothes. At first, according to the current price policy, we will lose money, but I think that over time, all horse-riding people will prefer phenakova. Therefore, we set it at 50% of the existing price.

By chance, the athlete won the dressage event at the All-Japan Championships, and it became well known to the Japanese horse racing world. It was even more promoted because he did not miss the first place in dressage and achieved excellent results. Then, a proposal was made through an agency that handles horseback riding clothes, and recently, the Korean brand has officially entered a shop inside the Crane Horseback Riding in Japan. It's a bittersweet feeling as it is appreciated that Japanese equestrian players recognize and visit us before Korean equestrian players. It's not that Japanese equestrian people don't wear European superior equestrian clothes, but they basically shop reasonably. It seems that ordinary horseback riding people weigh the feeling and function of wearing them rather than the brand.

Industry and fashion must go hand in hand, as in all sports. It is an opportunity to introduce and show horseback riding clothes to the general public through holding a fashion show. While it is important to promote the horse industry itself, fashion companies may first expose horse riding clothes and fashion to promote the horse industry. Just as those who do not play golf wear golf as their daily clothes, and those who do not go to the mountains wear hiking clothes as their daily clothes, ordinary people can enjoy wearing horseback riding clothes as their daily clothes. Just as people who do not go to the mountains wear hiking clothes and think about going to the mountains, people who do not go to the mountains wear horseback riding clothes and then ride horses.

What I couldn't manage no matter what exercise I did was definitely effective while learning to ride horses. Now I feel light. Not only is it good for men, but it is also beneficial for men and women of all ages. Instead, you should ride it safely. A person who is new to a horse and only walks should not run and run all of a sudden. That is of course a problem. However, if you know how to handle horses and speed up safely when you have a certain ability to ride horses, you can enjoy horseback riding in your 80s, not in your 60s and 70s. Even if you look at foreign cases, older people enjoy horseback riding. And in Korea, although older people cannot go hiking due to leg pain, if you know how to ride a horse a little, you can go out. Each local government is also making many rides,

That's how they were close to each other, and when I stopped by the entrance ceremony for the next freshman, I was on the list of freshmen. Executive Director Park had already applied for it. That's how I started riding in earnest. When I first rode a horse, I felt that it was a really good exercise. As I learned and rode a horse in earnest, I fell in love with an animal called a horse. In the past, I thought horseback riding was dangerous because it was about handling horses. Now that I think about it, it is a ridiculous thing to say. Since I thought about it in the past, it is natural that most people who don't know think so. However, you can ride it safely enough. And the contents of various media reports on horses also seem to play a part. This is because the appearance of a horse known through the media shows a lot of bad things rather than good things.

They use various broadcasting equipment to broadcast live horse-riding competitions, and they are taking the lead in promoting horse-riding by re-editing and uploading videos of dressage matches that may feel boring. Penakova, which is striving to spread horse culture in various ways, won the grand prize in the horse culture category at the 19th Horse Industry Awards. I met with Park Yoon-seop, CEO of Penakova, and Park Cheon-seok, executive director of Penakova, who is working as an alimi in the horse industry beyond the horse-riding alimi. I have known each other since they started their own businesses in the past. Executive Director Park was active in the fur and leather fields, and I was running a business in the transportation field. I got along well with him because I transported a lot of fashion.

On the day of the interview, Choi Byung-bu, the face-to-face, looked at the safety of "Triple Nine" in person and showed special affection. There are many reasons why "Triple Nine" was able to come this far, including good management, but most of all, I think it is because of many horse racing fans who supported "Triple Nine." At the end of last year, thanks to the enthusiastic support of horse racing fans, "Triple Nine" was able to be selected as the representative horse for the second consecutive year. I really want to thank horse racing fans. The Dubai World Cup performance was not good, but I think they sent "Triple Nine" to Dubai well. Like baseball and golf, we should spread to the world with Korean horse racing. I think "Triple Nine" played a role a little bit,

test008

Triple Nine ranked fifth and Nani ranked sixth, so we won. Park Kang-ho, ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, and his wife visited the stadium, jokingly said, "Japan still won." And the word "Nani" was 113 international ratings, so they later ran in the 2,000-meter race of the Dubai World Cup. I came in fifth place and got on the same plane as Masu Yoshida, who came back from Dubai. How much they boasted to me by showing me the video. We won the match. To be honest, objectively, the difference with Japan is quite big. The number of horse racing officials in Dubai alone showed a big difference. There were about 10 people from Korea, but Japan seems to have about 30 to 40 reporters and 100 people including them.

There was a delivery ceremony for the Dubai World Cup loss at Let's Run Park Pukyong on Sunday last week. I jokingly said this at the meeting. "We are worried about whether our horses will be able to adapt well to the fact that they will stay in a good stable like a hotel for 3-4 months and come back to Korea." Dubai's street stalls are really hotel-class compared to our street stalls. First of all, the area of street stalls is large, and air conditioning is installed in each street stall. And everything is pleasant. Next to it is a grasslands for exercise, which is a place where eight people stay. We cannot imagine. It is true that Dubai is a rich country. However, even if it doesn't go that far, the old Martha needs to be improved first. Horses must be comfortable to improve their skills. It is the wind from each other.

Now that I think about it, it remains regrettable what it would have been like to play only one game in the Dubai World Cup Carnival. I think I was able to participate in Super Saturday with only one difference from the first place in the carnival race. Korean horses, including Triple Nine, competed in Korea every five to six weeks. However, in Dubai, they competed every 20 days on average, which is shorter than this. Four races were held in three months, from January 19, February 9, March 5, and March 25. I didn't get a ticket on the outside because the horses were so nice, but I thought I might have exhausted my energy inside. Consequently, I can't erase the feeling that if I hadn't competed twice in the Dubai World Cup Carnival, I would have ranked first and second on Super Saturday, not fourth. There is no special episode.

He had a two-month vacation due to poor racing performance in October and November. Perhaps because of that experience, he was not happy to participate in international competitions overseas and was reluctant to participate in a moment. So when I asked what horses would participate in Korea, he said that they would include "Power Blade," "Main Stay," "Department Demention," and "Seoul Bullitt." "Triple Nine" is a Korean representative horse that has been selected as a representative horse for two consecutive years, and I decided to accept the participation because I thought I had to not participate. When my horse runs in an ordinary race, I put everything aside and visit the racetrack. In fact, it is not easy to fly a long distance for 9 to 10 hours at a considerable age.

test008

Although it was regrettable that it was 11th out of 13 horses in the last race, the Godolphin Mile Competition, it is said that it has shown a further improvement in Korean horse racing. And Choi Byung-bu, who faced "Triple Nine" until the final round, kept his promise with horse fans. To see the four competitions in which "Triple Nine" competed in person, I met Choi Byung-bu, who showed his affection by traveling back and forth to Dubai four times. I think that "Triple Nine"'s advance to the final round of the Dubai World Cup was meaningful in confirming the level of domestic horse. The footprint of "Triple Nine," a representative horse of Korea, on the world's best stage after being selected as the representative horse of the year for the second consecutive year, confirmed the current capability of Korean horses and also gave the current location of Korean horse racing.

My parents were interested in horseback riding, and I had tried horseback riding once or twice when I was young, depending on my parents. Then, naturally, I learned about a racetrack. Originally, I was a boxer until high school. As a boxer, I also had a good performance. At that time, I participated in the National Sports Festival as the representative of Gyeonggi Province and won the runner-up prize in the light flyweight class. After boxing for seven years, I quit after being a candidate for jockey in the Korean Racing Authority. Boxing and jockeys have a lot of help in my jockey career. The commonality of boxing and jockeys is the perseverance of athletes. They need to train tirelessly and consistently. Also, you need to have good eyes to see the game and the opponent. I think having these eyes will help you fight the game well

Busan horses have far better abilities than Seoul. The training pattern itself is 100m to 150m longer in the straight line than Seoul, so Busan horses have much stronger endurance than Seoul horses. Seoul tends to use it for a long time because it is reticent, but Busan immediately sends it on vacation or replacement when it seems strange. For this reason, Busan seems to have better grades than Seoul. Also, Busan is very competitive. When it comes to foreign jockeys, they prefer foreign jockeys so that their reservations are full a month before they enter Korea. That's why I feel threatened in my case. Busan is the place I can't relax. I won 24 times around this time last year, but I only won 10 times this year.

Even after I fell and was seriously injured, I was not scared of horses, so I rode again. I am fearless. This reason seems to have made me the best rider now.First, each rider has his or her own know-how. People say that when a horse is sent, it feels like putting gears in a car, but honestly, I don't know much about the horse. He has his or her own feeling. I always participate in early morning training so as not to lose that feeling and not to be taken away. When the horse I trained falls into someone else's hands, the feeling of the horse's mouth changes drastically. All riders have their own know-how, but I think they know a little more about horses because I rode them longer than their juniors.

test008

First of all, I tried hard not to miss early morning training. There are cases where I neglect early morning training just because I am a senior, but that was not the case for me at all. Now others are telling me well that my strength is that I do not miss early morning training. There is nothing special about early morning training. Training is from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. You need to know what you are saying and continue training with breathing. In training, not only running, but also warming up your body and finishing together. The biggest factor that led to becoming the best rider is that he has been injured every year so far, but he did not in 2016. In 2015, he was seriously injured. I was in a fall accident during the game and fractured my toes, pelvis, and lumbar spine.

They say they are excited to hear that about 20 Japanese people are coming from Korea. Based on this, their juniors will participate in the Jangje Festival at home and abroad and win the prize. The association's ultimate goal is to make it famous so that Korean Jangje Temple can be scouted in foreign countries. I think it will be possible because Korean people have good hand skills worldwide.The chairman of the Korean Funeral Service Association emphasized that in order to develop Korean funerals, theoretical and practical education must be conducted alternately according to the British funerals system. In order to do this, he said, a concept such as a funerals school dedicated to theoretical education is also necessary.

test008

After I went to the British funeral service site in person and saw it, I felt that we should go like the British funeral service system. The British funeral service system operates in an apprenticeship class and an education class. The existing funeral service recommends the new applicants to the funeral school, which provides theoretical education. The Jangje School conducts theoretical training for 6 weeks. And it is a system that returns to the recommended Jangje Temple and follows them around to learn apprenticeship. When the next step is taken, I go to school, learn theories, and come back, and do this for 4 years. I plan to create and operate such a training center. And I plan to revitalize exchanges with overseas Jangje Associations. You should not stay like a frog in a well only in Korea.

test008

The field of funeral services should be included in academic conferences, and schools should also take qualified professional funeral services to provide practical education. Funeral services should be included in education related to the horse industry, but not in it. Front-line school teachers come and receive a brief funeral service, and then go back to educate, but in this way, it is bound to have no depth. Funeral services must also be included in anything related to horses. Funeral services make no sense to raise and tame horses without their knowledge of the funeral service, even though the funeral service is a problem if something goes a little wrong. We try to develop the horse industry because the horse industry needs to live.

test008

Currently, almost all funeral services in our association have been qualified, and new friends who came to learn the funeral are planning to get qualified this year. I know that all of the existing funeral services in the horserace were also tested last year. After our association takes the exam this year, everything will be finished. And young people who want to learn the real funeral will be able to obtain qualifications sequentially. The pyramid-type qualification structure is the best, where the chief priest, who has been presenting for more than 30 years, sits at the top and goes down, but it is currently reversed. This is because young friends have one-time licenses, and seniors have four to five times. Since it is a national qualification system, we need to continue making it well.

However, the Jangjisa Association in Masayo bought a booth in KINTEX from our association and asked to run a booth with the Jangjisa Association in Masayo. I thought it was a good idea, so I tried to do so, but the operator said that it was not possible to do a gas can or a fireplace indoors. Then, when they had their own horseback riding competition in Gyeonggi-do, they were asked to set up a funeral booth next to the venue to boost the atmosphere of the competition. When they were unable to perform ceremonies indoors, they asked for cooperation in ceremonies outside the KINTEX site, and they said they would gladly do so. I think there were some problems in the process. Since our association also actively cooperated in the Jangjisa Championship, which was promoted by the Masayo Association last year,

Until last year, we did not request support from the association, but this year, for the first time, we asked the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry for support from the association. When I entered the Ministry of Agriculture with plans such as funeral education, funeral association, and funeral training, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry responded that there were not one or two associations under its jurisdiction, but that they could not provide the support all associations wanted. It is a matter of course and true. Still, when I asked if there is any way to provide some support, he said that it is difficult for the association to provide immediate support, and he said that it is difficult because there is no legal basis for the association to provide support, and that it is difficult to share subsidies in the funeral sector among the budget of the horse society.

As Jangje priests from the association travel around the country to work, their characteristics may be slightly different from those of other associations. Although there is a secretary-general, he cannot work regularly because he has to work as an incumbent Jangje priest for a living. In 1997, I went to the JRA Jangje Education Center in Japan for Jangje education training. I was trained by a local Jangje expert and the doctor asked me, "Why do Korean Jangje priests ask the same question every time they come to education?" At that time, I was puzzled because I did not know what it was talking about, but later I found out that I was really ashamed. Korean Jangje priests who had traveled to Japan did not pass on the skills or information they had learned from their juniors after returning to Korea,

Horses are the closest pets to people. You used to wake them up by playing music every morning when you had a horse. If you are a true lover, you should know that it is important to ride horses while watching their breathing and watching their breathing, instead of just letting them work hard to die. I talk to horses and walk for about 30 minutes before riding a horse. They all understand that. Isn't that what they mean.Koo Ja-woon, a horse-riding teacher at Haman County Horseback-riding Park. He studied horses for a long time, raised horses, and was a true lover with horses. At 82 years old, he was a child and a child of innocence when he was with horses. The sweetest 'kiss.' Koo said it was important to communicate and talk with horses for 30 minutes before riding.
