Jung Dong-il, Deputy Director of the Korea Racing Authority's Doping Inspection Office, said, "It is no exaggeration to say that a fair competition in horse racing depends on a successful doping test. To ensure more accurate and faster doping tests, we introduced top-tier foreign analytical equipment and developed corresponding testing methods," he said. "Going forward, we are working to strengthen the drug testing systems not only in Seoul but also at regional racetrack testing centers to establish a nationwide standardized system, consistent with Seoul's." We will do our utmost to ensure fair horse racing.It was reported.

Many equestrian center managers had excellent management mindsets but were struggling due to a lack of information. The Korea Horse Industry Research Institute is currently conducting a consulting study analyzing best practices in equestrian centers. The purpose is to disseminate relevant information to underperforming riding facilities through the analysis of best practices.In addition, site visits to advanced cases are also necessary. It was also suggested that outstanding riding centers in the horse industry be rewarded,

As stated in the regulations, all horses participating in the competition are Halla horses registered with the Halla Producers Association or the Korea Racing Authority.It is already well known that Hallama has competed in various endurance competitions and won multiple times. A consensus on the excellence of Halla horses has already been reached within the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the Korea Racing Authority, and the entire horse industry. As seen in its use as racehorses, it is a breed known for both speed and strong stamina.

The Malaysian international judges, invited to serve as event officials, highly praised Hallama’s abilities and showed great interest in her.In this way, the Halla Horse Producers Association is steadily taking steps toward new challenges for Halla horses and the advancement of the domestic horse industry. The problem is the practical barrier of insufficient budget allocation to move the project forward. We met Kang Dong woo, president of the Halla Ma Producers Association, who is serving as the captain at the center of Halla Ma’s new challenge amid difficult circumstances,

Until now, support has mainly focused on private riding centers, but I believe research and support for public riding centers are now also necessary. It is difficult to lead the horse industry with private riding clubs alone. Public equestrian centers can be maintained partly through local government funding and can also fulfill a public service role. While its marketing capabilities may be weaker than private facilities, it can fulfill public roles such as creating jobs by recruiting necessary personnel and providing therapeutic riding.

Conditions must be created that allow talented individuals to practice horseback riding. Active efforts from the Korea Equestrian Federation are needed to achieve this. Specifically, this could include efforts to establish an equestrian club at the new university and the reactivation of the Sangmu sports unit.The most important thing is to produce many good equestrian competitions. When high award competitions are held, top athletes are motivated to achieve better results, and naturally, more students become interested in equestrian sports.

If you have the opportunity to ride or can learn, I recommend trying it as much as possible. Our country is recognized for its capabilities across various fields. Some fields are even among the world’s best. I hope the younger players think, 'Because it's us, we can do it,' rather than 'We can't do it.'It seems clear that this is indeed a crisis for Korean equestrianism. The biggest problem is that there are no students to guide as leaders right now. Many players should emerge and progress,

Even a child can tell whether someone is doing well or not by looking. But when several people can’t ride, it’s hard to figure out who is good at it. Only then does the judgment of experts become necessary.Generally speaking, a horse that jumps high and fast over obstacles is a good horse. In dressage, horses with large movements and those that seem to be dancing are considered good. A rider who stays steady and composed on horseback is a good rider.There is no need to think of horseback riding as difficult.

When a conflict arose between the Korea Racing Authority and Gyeongbuk Province, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs demanded preconditions from related agencies for the approval of the racecourse construction, with the main ones being the signing of an additional agreement between the Korea Racing Authority and local governments and the adoption of a resolution by the Gyeongbuk Provincial Assembly.The recently signed additional agreement between the Korea Racing Authority and Gyeongbuk Province contains specific provisions guaranteeing the reduction of the leisure tax, and is known to include compensation for losses in the event of non-compliance, compensation for losses caused by non-compliance, compensation for facility investments if the project is withdrawn due to non-compliance, and the pursuit of a joint solution for personnel and horses upon project withdrawal.

My wife was a horseback rider for several years when she was a student. After driving for years, while I was driving a D Class, my wife was driving an S Class. I am not currently active as a player. My daughter is a senior in high school and is training as a dressage athlete at the Balios Equestrian Club.It was a very short period, indeed. There were a few at specialized dressage stables, and even disabled athletes need to learn the basics of dressage. However, it is not a stock I personally like.

Due to the SGC’s obstruction last year, the Korea Racing Authority prepared a revised plan to reduce one off-track branch and further reduce two others despite opposition from the racing community and employees, and the SGC accepted it, raising hopes for a swift process; however, conflict arose between the Authority and Gyeongbuk Province over the reduction of the leisure tax.The conflict between the Korea Racing Authority and Gyeongbuk Province over the leisure tax reduction arose because, following amendments to the Local Tax Act, the Korea Racing Authority demanded the enactment of an ordinance regarding the '30-year 50% reduction in the leisure tax and financial support if not fulfilled,' which Gyeongbuk Province and Yeongcheon City had promised at the time of the proposal to attract the race park as a follow-up measure for its construction.

Once he started getting scared, even dragging him around became difficult. But for an ordinary Holsteiner, he was gentle by nature. And only to people. It was very aggressive toward other horses, especially mares. It's to the point where it would lift its front paw and throw you if you just happened to run into it while walking. He was very kind to people, but very prickly with horses.The word 'Lilibro' stuck in my memory. It was my second horse, ridden around the same time as 'Sea Chap.

While most countries that hold horse races, including the United States and Japan, conduct only post-race testing due to cost and time constraints, Korea has implemented a dual system of pre-race and post-race drug testing to detect banned substances, identifying them three hours before the race for thorough horse doping control. However, a drawback was that thorough doping testing required a large amount of personnel and time.Strengthening drug testing, including the introduction of advanced equipment and the development of precise testing methods by the Korea Racing Authority, is a powerful way to prevent drug-related incidents in advance, protect the rights and interests of racing fans and industry personnel, and minimize harm to racehorses caused by habitual drug abuse.

First of all, securing a ticket to the Olympics was difficult, but the process of competing to win that ticket was no easy one either. This was because he needed to consistently perform well across multiple Grand Prix events, not just achieve good results in one or two. Perhaps for that reason, the athletes training with her for the Olympics at the time also questioned whether making it to the Games would actually be possible. The manager, coaches, and sponsors must have felt the same way.

Until now, riding clubs have received support; going forward, they must demonstrate efforts to improve their own management. We need to prepare and work to provide equestrian teaching methods for students, riding horses, and a safe riding facility from the perspective of actual users. In other words, responsible management. I think the goals for 2021 and 2022 will only be realistic if those goals are achieved first; otherwise, the timeline will seem far off. The Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation is currently sending positive signals.

Present the contents of the standardized lesson plan to be used in the pilot school. For the pilot schools to operate, a standardized teaching plan that the responsible teachers can use needs to be developed. In addition, standardized lesson plans are important because they provide teachers with a basis for teaching students with confidence. Currently, each riding center offering school riding experiences uses different lesson plans, and as the base for equestrian activities expands, confusion is likely to increase.
