Until the mid-1990s, they domesticated and trained The Dovebred, which had mainly been used as racehorses, and used them as riding horses. However, as the European Warmblood began to be introduced to Korea in earnest in the mid-1990s, the techniques for taming and training retired racehorses naturally disappeared. Centered on professional equestrians, they began riding Warmbloods, which had a physical advantage, while the unprofitable skills of taming and training retired racehorses managed to survive.

Even among jockeys, there is a tendency to favor certain stable or horses, so they are being urged to pay closer attention to ensure fair racing.In his inaugural speech, newly appointed President Kim Wook-soo expressed his commitment to fostering an equal and cooperative partnership with the Korea Racing Authority and contributing to the development of the domestic horse racing industry. They also argued that Korea should lead the internationalization of horse racing by integrating the Korea Racing Associations of Seoul and Busan and abolishing price limits on horse trading.

When he burned a lot, he even earned 500,000 won, yet he said he was happy. What started that way has now become stable, with recognition for our efforts, certification as a sixth-industry business, and support from the government.My wife had no connection to horses. We met through an introduction, and as we went on dates and hung out, my wife naturally became familiar with him. I bought three horses and we went out on dates a lot, and that’s how we ended up here. While on horseback dates,

Popularizing horseback riding is the top priority. If horseback riding becomes more widely accessible, many people will visit riding centers, directly boosting their revenue. Structural changes are needed to make horseback riding more accessible. In addition, customer service seems important. In any field, success is difficult without improving customer service.In addition, the equestrian center needs to make an effort to find a breakthrough on its own. Most riding centers provide support related to student riding.

Soon there will be the baby too. So far, they have had 10 litters. They produce more than three each year. Among them are a variety, including one bred with a Warmblood and a Hanra horse, as well as a Shetland pony and a miniature.Ponies are usually bred and then sold through experience farms. I really like the one born from a Hallamarang and Warmblood cross, so I’m not giving it away and am using it myself. It's a very nice phrase, so I have no intention of selling. Halla horses are being sold in large numbers at the riding stable.

As I was thinking about what to do before graduating from college, I came up with the idea of a children's horseback riding program using ponies. Since I was young, my father ran a farm raising livestock such as deer, pigs, and goats, so I had no hesitation in caring for animals, and horseback riding, which I took as an elective in college, became my connection to the field. Since I was learning horseback riding as well, the instructor even praised me for picking it up faster than my other friends. And by the third time I rode,

In addition to word of mouth, promotion through social media and parenting communities also played a role. It seems that the sharing of useful information about childcare and education among parents served as indirect promotion. To meet this interest and anticipation, they also hold events from time to time. During extremely hot or cold seasons, they hold big discount events and try to cater to customers by providing delicious snacks like ice cream or drinks to child visitors, among other services.

Thank you for awarding me this. I take this as a call to work even harder, and I will do my best in my role to advance the horse industry.First of all, many inquiries about the program are coming in from nearby kindergartens and schools. First-time visitors to our equestrian club expressed great satisfaction with the programs and spread the word widely. As word spread among parents, inquiries poured in, and once demand for the riding program reached a certain level, kindergartens and schools began making group inquiries.

Having been in development for over 10 years, I started with a simple idea and traveled domestically and abroad to study horse racing, experience betting, and immerse myself in its culture. We won a horse data audition conducted by the implementing agency using the developed horse racing analysis platform, became the first horse racing media outlet to be selected for a youth startup project by the Small and Medium Business Administration, and were fortunate enough to win a betting competition we started for testing purposes. If I were to share some tips,

Legal and institutional restrictions also play a part in the perception of horse racing as gambling. It is unfortunate that many horse racing fans are leaving due to betting limits and accessibility restrictions. I believe this is an area where the implementing agency must make an effort. The mystery analysis competition offers prize money beyond the winnings from horse racing bets, providing additional rewards for successful analysis. I hope more competitions will be held that test racing intuition rather than the so-called

My body was tired, but my heart was happy.Each country looks at it differently, but Part 1 countries like Japan, Hong Kong, and the United States closely examine basic equipment maintenance and training, regardless of popularity. Since most horses enter with the goal of winning, factors such as race dynamics, jockey and trainer strategy heavily influence the outcome. In Korea, factors such as short-term training tailored to distance or training schedule and a strong competitive spirit seem to have a greater impact on race results,

While handicapping has its advantages for rating, there are also people and horses who suffer from it. I think we should protect the horses by organizing separate races rather than relying on an overall rating system. As the rated weight increases, many horses end up retiring because they injure themselves after carrying 60kg each. For the sake of protecting racehorses, I hope for a lineup that allows competition through special racesAlso, I ask that you provide thorough overall management to ensure fair horse racing at LetsRun Park Busan-Gyeongnam.

For example, even if you buy an expensive foreign horse for a million dollars and it wins every race held in Korea, you won't break even, but there will be horses purchased for a million dollars because of a competitive spirit. Since there is no prize money added to the value domestically, they will turn their attention abroad, and achieving excellent results in international competitions can also enhance national prestige. Won't the level of domestic horse racing rise as well.

Even a well-bred foreign horse cannot beat a domestic horse with a winning record if it has no racing experience. In addition, foreign horses must compete against those that have won since the 4th class, and if training is forced to match their level of competition, there is a risk that the horses could tire out quickly.By purchasing many positive words from abroad, we will naturally receive high-quality feedback, which will also help the development of Korean horse racing.

By removing price limits, foreign horses should be allowed to enter the scene freely, while also reforming the racing system. What is currently a mixed race for grade 4 and above should be divided into domestic and foreign races. Only then can domestic racehorse producers survive and also achieve a qualitative improvement in Korean horse racing. Breeders should be classified as either domestic or foreign up to Grade 1, and integrated races should be created where domestic and foreign horses can compete at the same level

Only then can the quality of Korean horse racing improve. Some senior advisors say the prices should be restructured, but that is incorrect. Then we go back to the way of the past. The reason domestic horses do not perform well against foreign horses from Japan, Singapore, and others is that, due to price restrictions, fewer quality horses have entered the market. Although the Korea Racing Authority has brought in a number of good stallions to support them, they cannot beat horses purchased from abroad. We must move toward a system of autonomous competition.

Don't think that your prize money is being taken away. Through integration, Seoul owners could list horses in Busan and entrust them to skilled trainers to win races held in Busan, while Busan owners could list horses in Seoul and claim victory in races held there. Isn't it contradictory that our country's central horse racing is based in Seoul and its results are not as good as Busan's. There are only a few racetracks in the country, so they need to be consolidated.

Horses with more speed than speed but better endurance are more likely to succeed in Busan than in Seoul, while those with more speed than endurance are more likely to succeed in Seoul than in Busan. If you spend a lot of money to buy a horse but only have one chance, it's such a waste. Make those who can't speak in Busan run in Seoul, and those who can't speak in Seoul run in Busan. We must integrate to reduce the deficit.Don't think that your prize money is being taken away.

Busan’s main thoroughbred track is 50 meters longer, so horses with endurance perform better there, whereas faster horses do better in Seoul.However, if you merge, the opponents who purchase and deploy horses will have more options, so it could also be an opportunity for them. Currently, except for integrated races, Seoul owners can enter their horses only in races held at LetsRun Park Seoul, while Busan owners can enter only races at LetsRun Park Busan. However, if the Maju teams are integrated, they will be able to compete in all races in Seoul and Busan.

Above all, the integration of the Maju region is the top priority.

The main reason is its influence. Of course, there are also management system factors,

The Busan-Gyeongnam Owners Association is a nonprofit organization established in 2006 through the hard work of its first president, Jinyoung Kim. At the time, the Korea Racing Authority felt somewhat uncomfortable about the establishment of the Korea Owners’ Association, so cooperation was lacking, but thanks to the founding president’s relentless efforts, it was finally created, and I was able to become its seventh president. The past presidents did a great job, but I believe what I must do going forward is unify the association in Busan and Seoul.
