Until now, the KRA has not given up any lingering feelings about the construction of the Seocho branch through an administrative lawsuit regarding the ruling to cancel the building permit for the over-the-counter sale in Seocho-gu, Seoul, but it has reportedly given up its appeal recently. In October last year, the KRA filed a lawsuit against the Seoul Metropolitan Government's decision to change the city management plan, which served as an excuse for the building permit for the Seocho branch. The KRA said in the lawsuit that the delay in construction was not a KRA's responsibility, but an inevitable reason, and that the cancellation of the building permit in Seocho-gu was contrary to the building law, and that the Seoul Metropolitan Government's decision to change the city management plan was also unjust.

They have been active in various fields and have walked the history of mankind for a long time. However, there was a time when it was considered a symbol of men because it was mainly used for pulling, riding, or military use. In particular, after the middle of the Joseon Dynasty, an overly closed Confucian culture took hold in Korea, and the distance between women and horses increased. Furthermore, the rumor that "women in the year of the horse are strong" spread during the Japanese colonial era, and it was abused as a means to suppress the passport, and the goal became deeper. On the other hand, in a country where the horse industry has become more common, horses are being raised as if we are raising pets such as dogs and cats.

Although what I have been doing all my life is publicity, it is too difficult for the horse industry, where negative perceptions have been established since the initial stage of settlement. The Korean media has never even carried Korean horse racing on the front page, he said, "I hope the Korean people will look at the horse industry with bright eyes." Professor Cho Jung-ki (left) visits the headquarters and talks with CEO Kim Moon-young. Professor Cho Jung-ki, a former executive of the Korean Horse Association, is currently striving to cultivate his younger students at Gangneung Yeongdong University as well as to develop horseback riding in Gangwon Province, a barren place for horseback riding.

When asked why the horse industry is not well promoted to the public today because he was a former executive of the Korea Racing Authority and took the lead in innovating and promoting his image, Professor Cho Jung-ki said, "To succeed in the horse industry, the public and private sectors must cooperate. The government is leading the horse industry as part of its livestock policy, so it may be limited. I hope the government will listen to and listen to the horse industry workers widely." In particular, people who entered the industry informed that they have a goal to make money, and they said that it takes time and effort to improve their awareness. For the horse industry to develop, both the government and officials had to think a lot. Nevertheless, he stressed that "the horse industry will undoubtedly develop.

The main content of the amendment is to allow the construction of off-the-shelf sales offices in central and general commercial areas, but to restrict the construction of off-the-shelf sales offices on land within the distance prescribed by the city and county planning ordinance, from the current "allowing the construction of off-the-shelf sales offices in central and general commercial areas." If the amendment is implemented, it is virtually impossible to operate many over-the-counter sales offices. If regulations are implemented in the central and general commercial areas where over-the-counter sales offices can be installed under the ordinance of each local government, it will be more difficult even before the establishment, which will greatly hinder the improvement of the viewing environment of over-the-counter sales offices currently being promoted by the Korean Racing Authority.

It is necessary to push for the construction of Yeongcheon Horse Racing Park as soon as possible, but at a time when the environment of the horse racing industry is changing rapidly, it seems indispensable to improve the feasibility of the project for the construction of Yeongcheon Horse Racing Park. As the Seoul Metropolitan Government passed a partial amendment to the urban planning ordinance prohibiting the construction of over-the-counter sales centers in residential areas, it is expected that the construction of over-the-counter sales centers in Seoul will be more difficult in the future. The Seoul Metropolitan Council held a plenary session on the 9th (Monday) and passed a partial amendment to the Seoul Urban Planning Ordinance, which includes prohibiting the construction of out-of-the-box sales centers (aka horse racing gambling stations) and betting centers in residential areas.

Gangneung Youngdong University, which is a private and junior college and specialized in medical and tourism, is actively supporting students' start-ups and employment, and is aiming to cultivate the most necessary manpower in the horse industry in a specialized way by combining horseback riding with forest, tourism, and medical care, which are characteristics of Gangwon Province. In May last year, he also introduced an episode in which the government, the Korean Horse Association, the Korea Forest Service, and Gangwon Land signed a business agreement to establish a mountain horse riding culture. Since last year, he said he has explored the area one by one to develop a horse-riding tracking course using the Untan Road, which carried coal, in order to revitalize mountain riding in winter.

Yeongcheon City, which succeeded in attracting the 4th Korean Racing Authority in December 2009, established a horse racing park promotion team and pushed for the project, but it is pointed out as a budget waste and closed-door administration. According to Yeongcheon City's budget execution details regarding the project to build Yeongcheon Horse Racing Park from 2010, a total of 3.85 billion won was tallied, including 1.3 billion won in labor costs, 595 million won in interest repayment costs, 1.63 billion won in facilities, 260 million won in operating costs, and 180 million won in service costs. In particular, the city, which borrowed 17 billion won in loans from the regional development fund following the creation of the horse racing park in December 2010, pays 595 million won in interest every year at a fixed interest rate of 3.5% per year.

In Japan, people start strengthening their training from the age of 1 in October and start strong training from January or February of the following year. An assistant teacher is asking rancher Hiraga how to use a heart rate monitor exactly. A heart rate monitor is a device that measures the speed of a racehorse by identifying its heart rate during training. The heart rate monitor can be measured by attaching electrodes to the abdominal bandage, placing the remaining pieces of gear in the order of their normal operation. The most important thing is the human eye, but there are also various scientific methods that can be used as evidence. You can tell by looking at your heart rate after training and how fast you returned to normal. When you are in a good condition,

For example, in Japan, when the assistant teacher orders, "Today's training is 16 seconds," the track riders must come in accordingly, not too fast than 16 seconds. It certainly follows the instructions of the assistant. Just by recording it, you can take a step forward in making a good assistant. It is an atmosphere in which horse racing officials are trying to make a strong horse. It is important to try various ways to make a strong horse. Even when introducing exercise physiology, it is important to try different teaching methods if you do not fit yourself and the racehorse. The most important thing is to create an atmosphere in which you can try and try from various angles. Although exercise physiology is a difficult study, if even one person has tried it,

However, treadmills can improve cardiopulmonary functions, but they are not as effective as other effects such as running abilities. In order to gain the ability to run, you have to let them run. If you think about it, good horses are also capable of running. Japan has a racing horse called Mihonobru Bon. Mihonobru Bon was an aptitude for sprinting, but he gained endurance by mainly focusing on hills and won the Grand Prix of Japan. If you look at the video of the Grand Prix, " Mihonobru Bon" started off as a good deed and went straight to the finish line. Horses that jump out definitely need to develop endurance. This is both true and wrong. Strong horses never have small hearts. When the heart size was later determined, strong horses had bigger hearts. When a heart is bigger, they certainly have better cardiopulmonary functions.

Just like we do running competitions, children who are good at sports quickly breathe back to normal when they finish running, but those who are not good at sports are very overwhelmed. The same goes for racehorses. Running uphill helps improve cardiopulmonary functions, allowing you to breathe stably. Going up on the hind legs greatly reduces the risk of injury. You can also correct your posture. When racehorses try to run with their heads up, but they teach on the hillside, they naturally lower their heads. Also, the hillside is very important, enabling interval training. Thank you for telling me a lot about the importance of hillside. I plan to introduce hillside in Pukyong in the future. However, it takes time to make it. I know that in the past,

It is difficult for me to win 20 games a year, but I can see the difficulties of other faces who do not get good results without explaining in words. Insurance premium support is needed. Third, the number of horse strokes per face is currently limited to 10 heads, so even if you want to purchase more horse strokes, you cannot purchase them. For those who want to purchase more horse strokes, I hope to increase the opportunity to purchase.The current face-to-face qualification conditions seem to be too excessive. I know that about 30% of the faces do not purchase horses even if they are currently registered as face-to-face. In order to raise the status of the face, I think it is necessary to be a person who wants to face each other and a person who has a passion for face-to-face.

If Martha understands the principles of racehorse athletic physiology, it can scientifically understand what changes will happen when training racehorses. Although the introduction of athletic physiology does not immediately improve racehorses' abilities, it can provide a scientific basis for why the Martha herself is training racehorses. The exercise physiology of racehorses provides a scientific argument for their intuition. During this visit, Hiraga Ranch said that using the hillside will improve the cardiopulmonary function of racehorses, enable interval training, and significantly reduce the risk of injury. Martha said that during this visit to the Hiraga Ranch, they were able to learn specific and scientific training methods. In the sense of training,

To do so, I hope to go on the Queen's Tour and produce good results to qualify as a seed mare. It is regrettable that the choice of horse racing competitions or special races is small because it is Poipmai. It is 'King of Myeongwoonje'. It is currently under the supervision of Group 10 Kim Nam-joong, an assistant teacher, and has high expectations in the future and thinks that he will be eligible to compete in big races by next year. Also, a horse named 'President' is looking forward to it, but it seems to be a horse that is growing a little late. This horse is also expected to win the first division next year.

As part of the 3rd anniversary event, we covered every single move of the Hiraga Ranch to Pukyong. The video team will also be available on the website of the Mal Industry Journal, where you can see the previous visits and lectures of the Hiraga Ranch. The Hiraga Ranch is publishing a column in the Horse Industry Journal titled "Physiology of Riding by Veterinarian Hiraga." It aims to publish a total of 50 articles and is currently publishing 38 articles. The visit to the Hiraga Ranch received enthusiastic responses from Martha officials such as assistant teachers. Despite the difficult content, Pukyeong officials tried to learn by asking a lot of questions to introduce a new teaching method. After doing strong training, he poured out questions he had been curious about, such as how much to rest.

After recording 1,294 wins until the end of June, Moon showed off his amazing performance on the 30th, the last week of July, ending his 1,300th attempt with six wins in eight races. After winning back-to-back titles in the first race "Seven Crown" and the third race "Geumak Empress" on the 30th, Moon won again in the fifth and sixth races after catching his breath once in the fourth race, making his run to 1,300 wins a -2 and culminating in his 1300th run by winning three consecutive races in the eighth and ninth races. Moon's career record is bound to be a race against the footsteps Park Tae-jong had left earlier. It took about 20 years in 2007 for Park Tae-jong, who debuted in 1987, to record 1,300 wins. It also took him 11 months to win 1,200 to 1,300 wins,

Once I make a choice, I never regret it. Whether it goes well or not, I think everything is my fault. Therefore, as we face each other, I think there are more benefits than losses. One of the joys is that we share the joy of winning, comfort each other, encourage each other, and achieve family harmony.My choice of assistant teacher is to choose an assistant teacher who tries. I think that the only way to succeed in everything that improves the discovery, development, and ability of Maple is to try. When I first chose Article 4, I chose it at the recommendation of my surroundings, but the result was very satisfactory.

Even if it was a bit overwhelming in the beginning, he told me to take the lead. I was very nervous as I seemed to be overtaken with 100 meters to go before the finish line. However, I think I was able to withstand it because I had a strong will to not lose if a horse was next to me. In fact, my condition was not my best today. Lee Chan-ho is the right flag bearer for Changse. He has a habit of leaning inward after the fourth corner, and since Lee Chan-ho is a left-handed rider, he was able to cover his weaknesses well. Changse is still very young at three years old. Whether he will participate in the Jeju Special Provincial Governor's Cup will be decided by considering the horse's condition comprehensively. Since he is still young, I will not overdo it until this year. I will manage Changse more and show good performance in a bigger race.

Teacher Park recommended me to meet 'Changse', and when I went to meet him at the ranch, I was very happy to see 'Changse' lead the way at the front of the group.

The construction of the Yeongcheon Horse Racing Park was expected to proceed quickly as the Horse Racing Association took out the card of accepting some of the demands of the audit committee, which was a big obstacle. However, after the controversy over the feasibility of the project, the Korean Horse Racing Association proposed a 50 percent 30-year reduction in leisure tax through the proposal when Yeongcheon City and Gyeongbuk Provincial Government hosted it, but as the possibility of implementing it became unclear due to the revision of the local tax law in 2010, the Korean Horse Racing Association is in pain, demanding a clear guarantee of implementation of financial support in case the leisure tax reduction proposed by Gyeongbuk Province for the hosting of Yeongcheon Horse Racing Park is not achieved.
