When I first rode a horse, I felt it was a really good exercise. As I learned and rode horses in earnest, I fell into the animal of horses. In the past, I thought horseback riding was dangerous because it was about handling horses. Now that I think about it, it's funny. Since I've thought about it in the past, it's natural that the majority of people who don't know think so. But it's safe enough to ride it. And the contents of reports about horses in various media also seem to play a part. This is because the appearance of horses known through the media shows a lot of bad things rather than good things. Most of the negative reports are about the news of falling off while riding a horse or the fact that the horse escaped the ranch and ran down the road.

In fact, it was not an easy environment to speak in, but I accidentally entered the company. I learned horse-riding thanks to the recommendation of Executive Director Park Cheon-seok. After establishing the Penakova Korea subsidiary, I heard that there is a CEO course for riding in Sejong, and during this process, I wanted to do a fashion show while wearing horse-riding fashion clothes for the graduation ceremony, and I asked for help. I was able to sponsor the event due to such close relationship, and when I stopped by to greet the next freshman entrance ceremony, I saw that I was on the list of freshmen. That's how Executive Director Park applied in advance. That's how I started riding in earnest.

Executive Director Park worked in the fur and leather sectors, and I was in the transportation sector. I got acquainted with him as he transported a lot of fashion. While going their separate ways, I encountered various difficulties, so I wanted to work together to do something. So, in August 2015, instead of Modniye Dream, there was talk of creating a horse-riding brand that specializes in horseback riding and establishing a company specializing in horse-riding fashion. So, he established Penakova Korea. He took over all rights, including intellectual property rights related to horse-riding, that Modniye Dream had. That's how he established the Penakova Korea subsidiary in August 2015.

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 selected as the annual 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 I sent Triple Nine to Dubai well. Like baseball and golf, we should spread around the world with Korean horse racing. I think "Triple Nine" played a little role, just as Park Se-ri appeared when Korean golfers were unable to enter the world stage in the past,

Kim Ki-sun, secretary-general of the Seoul Racing Authority, said, "When setting the prize money for horse racing, costs that are not included in the cost have increased. This needs to be checked and reflected. It is regrettable that the questionnaire for related parties has been omitted. In some cases, he quit his jockey due to injuries related to the promotion of the horse racing society, and in others, he was seriously injured, but was not covered by insurance." Chung Myung-il, chairman of the Jeju Racing Authority, said, "We need to renew our accident insurance tomorrow, but it is not easy to sign up for insurance. In the event of an industrial accident, it is difficult to continue supporting the riders' livelihood with the association's budget. I hope the horse racing society takes action quickly."

Last Sunday, there was a ceremony to deliver the Dubai World Cup merit plaque at Pukyong, Let's Run Park. I jokingly said this there. "Our horses will stay in a good stable like a hotel for 3 to 4 months and then come back to Korea, and I'm worried about whether they will be able to adapt well." Dubai's stable is really hotel-class compared to our stable. First of all, the floor space is large, and air conditioning is installed in each stable. And everything is comfortable. Next to it is an exercise grassland, where eight animals stay, but it is a flat area for a massage. It is unimaginable for us. It is true that Dubai is a rich country. However, even if you can't go that far, the old Masara needs to be improved first.

After the final report on the research service was explained, officials from related organizations said, "It is not enough to meet expectations." Officials from related organizations said, "Despite the rapid growth of horse racing, the prize money for horse racing has continued to rise short of the social inflation rate while following government guidelines," and complained that the service had no choice but to go in a set direction according to the position of the owner, the horse racing society. He also argued that it is difficult to find its value as a research service, with research on the appropriateness of horse racing prize money currently missing. Min Geun-il, secretary-general of the Seoul Horse Racing Association, pointed out, "It is not enough to meet expectations. There is a lack of research on the appropriateness of horse racing prize money, so it is limited to accept the results of the service," and said, "The important thing is in what direction the report will be used."

On the morning of the competition, it rained and stopped, and when I was running the race, it didn't rain. And the word "nani" means the international rating is 113, so he later ran a 2,000-m race in Dubai. I came in fifth place, and I was on the same plane as Masu Yoshida who came back from Dubai. How proud Masu Yoshida is of me while showing me the video. We won the match. To be honest, objectively, it is true that the difference from Japan is remarkable. The difference was huge just by looking at the number of horse racing officials in Dubai. There were about 10 horse racing officials from Korea, but in Japan, there seemed to be about 30 to 40 reporters and about 100 people including the officials.

Hanul Accounting Corporation said the study found that future horse racing prize money should change from cost-oriented to industrial ecosystem-oriented, and that some regional differences could be applied based on a single increase rate based on a reasonable setting method. According to a review of the responsibility and current level of support for the disaster treatment of racehorses in relation to accident insurance and accident insurance, additional support from the implementer is not essential, and policy support from the implementer is needed because support for the accident treatment of horse racing officials is more urgent.However, Hanul Accounting Corporation said that this service was aimed at establishing a reasonable prize money setting system and disaster insurance setting method, and that it did not include the judgment on the appropriateness of the current prize money and the direction of improvement in the allocation method.

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 head and one first place difference. Korean horses, including "Triple Nine," usually competed every five to six weeks in Korea. However, in Dubai, they competed every 20 days on average, which is shorter than this. Four races were held in three months: January 19, February 9, March 5, and March 25. The horse was such a nice horse that I didn't get a ticket on the outside, but I thought I might have exhausted my energy.

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.

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,

Which was commissioned by the Korea Racing Association for "Research Services on How to Set Up Horse Racing and Disaster Insurance," said it has conducted interviews with executives of the Korea Racing Association and local horse racing-related organizations since June, conducted a second round of opinions from related organizations after the interim report on July 9, and prepared the final report through comparative analysis with overseas horse racing implementation countries, past data analysis and scenario estimation. In its final report, Hanul Accounting Corporation explained how to resolve issues on the current prize money level, how to set the prize money increase rate, and how to respond to exceptions as basic directions for improving the standard for setting horse racing prize money. In addition, three improvement models were proposed on the premise of establishing improvement measures related to accident and accident insurance in relation to racehorse accident insurance.

This year, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs confirmed that there is one horse industry special zone in Gyeongsangbuk-do (Gumi, Yeongcheon, Sangju, Gunwi, and Ui-seong) and one in Gyeonggi-do (Yongin, Hwaseong, Icheon) as the second and third horse industry special zones, respectively, and the fostering of the horse industry in the inland area began in earnest. Jangheung-gun's close cooperation, such as signing a business agreement with the Korean Horse Association to foster the horse industry and holding a meeting, is analyzed to be not only to foster the horse industry, which is emerging as the biggest focus of local governments, but also to designate the horse industry special zone next time.

In addition, there is also a desire for Korean horseback riders to access a lot of books about horses. Rather than just doing something to win the prize, I think the message of horse welfare and respect for life has been recognized through books and blogs by gaining sympathy and favor from readers. I am glad that the importance of communication with horses and animals seems to be gaining sympathy and getting a little closer to people's hearts and thoughts than before, rather than overpowering them by force. I hope there will be less and less misunderstanding between horses and people in the future. I hope that horseback riding is understood as an in-my-body sport that horses

It explained that the admission fee for over-the-counter sales was made in July 2011 under Article 5 of the Korean Racing Authority Act, and that the fee was separately charged to customers who wanted to use the member room (2005) or the designated seat (2008). Currently, the legal admission fee for over-the-counter sales offices is 2,000 won. However, as the Korean Racing Authority provides services and implements a designated seat system, various usage fees are charged according to the conditions of each over-the-counter sales office. The Korean Racing Authority said it is faithfully paying 10% of VAT on service fees provided other than admission fees, and that service fees are differentiated according to the occupancy area per person, seat type, release machine and monitor arrangement, interior level, whether additional services (snack, beverage information paper, etc.) are provided or not, and unit price.

Retired racehorses should be provided with appropriate protection and a safe environment to build trust with each other while understanding their anxious psychological conditions. However, I don't think that even retired horses that have been trained as riders are suitable for beginners who are new to horseback riding. I hope that the upper and lower levels of horseback riding will handle it. In Hong Kong, 30 to 50 horses are discharged every month, but when racehorses entering the racetrack are retired, the horses usually give up their rights to the horses. When the horse is bought by the horse owner, he or she will receive the cost to send it back after being discharged, and then return it to the place where the horse was brought if he or she wants.

Usually, when you wake up in the morning, you feed them, clean the stables, and check your temperature, pulse, and breathing to know the condition of the horse. Then, you do solo grooming, dig hooves, and then move to a working machine or warm up and work out together. If you sweat, you take a bath and fill up the hay mesh. Then, I leave them grazing here and there. It is a routine, even though it is flexible every time. When I first went to the Korean horserace, I was surprised by the cone. In foreign horse ranches, even beginners learn without the cone, and adults learn how to stand tall at first. Some horse rinks in Korea are divided into corn or steel pipes. I thought it would be a dangerous environment if a rider falls down.

The 50-year-old warehouse was also repaired and has been used until now, and a new stable was built on the other hand in case the weather gets cold or bad. A space for horses to be treated, a trade mill for exercise, and accommodation for students and guests visiting this place have also been made. Most of the space in the rink is literally for horses. Since I don't always stay in Jocheon, Jeju, I can't give horses every exercise. I bought trade wheat that can exercise up to six at a time in preparation for the volatile weather, which is the amount of work that one manager can do. This was also considered because exercising in the wrong way could lead to bad habits for horses.

Every year, scholarships were provided to students in need through government offices. When I lived in Noryangjin in the past, I gave scholarships of 100,000 won to 30 students every year. At that time, 100,000 won was not a small amount of money. Since the late 1980s, I have been taking my children with me to volunteer. Perhaps because of the impact, my children are still not stingy in making donations. One time, I went to volunteer with my oldest daughter to support her. After my parents passed away and I was a student living with my grandmother, but after my grandmother passed away, I had nowhere to go. Then the oldest daughter said,

However, scholarship donations have now dropped significantly. This is because even if the opposing parties donate scholarships, they do not disclose their names and there is no feedback from the scholarship recipients. While running a scholarship project, I had the pleasure of helping someone and seeing the other person expressing gratitude, but a scholarship project through the opposing party does not do that at all. Personally, I have heard that I will study hard when working on a scholarship project, but I have never received any feedback from the Busan Gyeongnam Maju Scholarship Association. The list of people who have contributed scholarships must be disclosed in order to spread the voluntary donation culture of the opposing parties.
