Since the enactment of the Horse Industry Promotion Act, other local governments that only belatedly entered the race to develop the horse industry were unable to meet the basic requirements, so they began demanding the designation of a special zone combining two or three basic local governments, or a regional special zone at the provincial level. At the suggestion of these local governments, the Regulatory Reform Committee of the Prime Minister’s Office recommended the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to ease the related requirements, but the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced that it would prepare a plan to relax the designation requirements for the horse industry special zone starting in 2014, following its designation as the first horse industry special zone in 2013.The designation requirements for a special horse industry zone at the end of 2013 demand a substantially large-scale basic horse industry foundation within a limited scope.

Because there had been two occasions when one or two horses turned away and won without any prior advantage, I thought there was no need to suffer any loss when battling “Otuk Otuk” in a power struggle. If I went to do good deeds, I would go, and if “Ottukottuki” decided to go out on its own, I tried to give it to it. I planned to follow and check it out, wearing down Otuk Otuk-i’s power, and save my strength to beat Mainstay. But absurdly, after passing the third corner,I had no strength. People say it’s because they don’t go to do good deeds after seeing this,

Actually, it’s not me, though. If I didn’t ride the 19th group horse and the other side’s horse was the 19th group, I desperately wanted to win and tried my best to do so. But in the end, there were many cases of losing to the last of Article 19. So I was misunderstood a lot. Tell Trainer Kim Young-kwan that I’ll win too. He said he was confident he could win, but when it came time to race, he often ended up losing. That much, the 19th-jo horses were strong and tough. It was bad because of those things,

In particular, they stated that they will closely analyze the operational performance of the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Horse Industry Special Zone going forward and expand the designation of special zones, while also announcing plans to designate around five special zones nationwide by 2017 in the mid to long term, with one zone per region.The only animal in Korea that is managed under a special law is the horse. Once one of the animals closest to humans, it has now, under the influence of the Industrial Revolution, given up much of its former role and become confined to activities such as horse racing and horseback riding.In 2011, the government enacted the Horse Industry Promotion Act as a measure to prevent the deterioration of the rural economy caused by FTAs, aiming to develop it as a new growth engine for the rural economy.

Changed the whipping. I created something called a “whirlwind whip” that was incredibly powerful and striking. While others hit one strike after another in rapid succession, the whirlwind whip strikes by twisting the arm. Every horse that rode performed well. The grades were good. Popular horses, like popular horses, and unpopular horses, like unpopular horses, all managed to raise their standings to some extent. By showing that he handled things firmly, he rose rapidly and his popularity gradually increased.

Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Cup,” some horses suddenly gained strength and produced fine horses. Last year, when Power Blade was on the field, there was no clear opponent. At least there was a horse in the same group called “Ottuk-Ottuki,” a short-distance horse. The biggest turning point is the KRA Cup Mile. There was a difference between being able to win and not being able to. At that time, the horse was in very poor condition. Won even in a bad state.

Your build is perfect for a kei car." But I didn’t know what a jockey’s job was.I grew up in the countryside of Hampyeong, Jeollanam-do, so I didn’t even know there was horse racing.I wasn’t suited for university either, and when I turned 23, the age when I had to work, I thought I should work. But I wasn’t confident. I’m small-framed and have no formal education, so suddenly I remembered something the owner said to me when I used to work part-time at a PC bang. I started looking up the job of a gisu on the internet.

He broke the dominance of jockey Moon Se-young, who had played a part in Power Blade’s rise to the integrated Triple Crown and had won the Best Jockey category for five consecutive years. In his debut year in 2006, he had a spectacular start by winning 23 games, and in 2012, he set a new record for most wins in a season by recording 91 wins. Starting this year, as the venue shifted from LetsRun Park Pukyong to Seoul, the rivalry match between jockey Moon Se-young and the horse has also been drawing the attention of horse racing fans.

Samsung and Hanwha were supported because the previous chairman enjoyed horseback riding. It won’t be easy for another company, which has nothing to do with horses, to take on the role of president of the equestrian association.We are players. I have absolutely no intention of getting involved in politics. This is what the players think; we only hope it is conveyed well. The reason I requested an interview with is that, more than other media outlets, it is a news organization that understands the circumstances of the equestrian community.

If Samsung doesn’t do it, our equestrian world will be in trouble.Whether it was Samsung and Hanwha, that group, contributing 1.5 billion won a year, or 1.6 billion won, or providing support for the association, whatever it was, there was something that benefited the players. Since equestrianism is not supported by the government, if companies do not sponsor it, they cannot even compete in competitions, and making it to the Olympics is difficult.Until now, the chair companies have been the Korea Racing Authority,

None of the athletic special talents do it like Jung Yura.Among the students I’m teaching right now, there is a friend who is attending university. I go to Hanyang University, and on Mondays and Tuesdays I attend classes all day. So I couldn't come today. I’ll have class tomorrow too, and then I’ll come to work out after 3 p.m. She weighs all the factors about the workouts she wants to do, registers for classes herself, and comes to work out even late in the afternoon.

Eighty percent said something that was true. The equestrian world plunged into chaos because of one person, Choi Soon-sil. How good a story is to us that we demanded an apology from the president from the equestrian. And I fully understand the content of the press conference they gave about the harm they suffered because of Choi Soon-sil. From their perspective, it must be incredibly unfair that while they were watching the referee, Executive Director Park Won-oh came down and said something, and then they couldn’t watch the referee from the start.

Although equestrianism is an unpopular sport, it has received investment and contributed to the development of equestrianism in Korea. If Samsung immediately steps down as the chair company, how will the equestrian association be managed right away, and how will next year’s competition be conducted? It makes no sense to demand only Samsung’s resignation without any countermeasures. It is an act that does not consider our equestrian athletes and equestrians.

Your walking speed increases, and your stride lengthens. I’m even getting better at using my upper body. You can get even better through exercise.Horseback riding has already been associated with the image of an imperial sport and a refined sport, but before that, it was an industry based on agriculture. Through therapeutic horseback riding, you can become friends with the horse and receive healing. And only therapeutic horseback riding can develop. It is an undeniable fact that therapeutic riding is built upon the development of equestrianism.

Most athletes begin training with the ambition of winning medals at the Olympics and the Asian Games. It’s not the idea of just riding horses and then going to college. Students who compete while attending university pursue the dream of definitely trying out for the next Asian Games selection trials, balancing schoolwork and sports.They provided support in every aspect, starting with training camps, while preparing for the Olympics. Because Samsung spent money and provided support for the development of equestrian sports to that extent,

Because the Korea Racing Authority provides rehabilitation riding as a free service, there are cases where the people providing the service end up becoming the ones in charge, so we need to listen more to voices from the field and put more effort into training experts. Also, don’t try to choose people only from the horse side. There is also a need to bring external experts, such as physical therapy specialists, into the horse industry.There is clearly a budget for rehabilitation horseback riding,

For example, if people volunteer for therapeutic horseback riding here, Yongin City should provide coupons that allow them to ride horses at other riding centers, or something along those lines. This is called the socio-economic domain.Promotion of therapeutic horseback riding is also needed. The general public does not know much about therapeutic horseback riding. First, you’d have to know about therapeutic riding before you could find it, wouldn’t you? Also, in each local government,

Korean Language Trainers Association, and it feels like a very heavy burden. The training aspect is difficult because both racehorses and riding horses are involved, and the members are scattered all over the country. First, we will devote concentrated effort to combining racehorse training and riding horse training into one. And I will place emphasis on clearly defining what role the aspect of training should play. If it is properly established as the first president, the succeeding presidents will be able to accomplish even more on that foundation.

We are preparing two events for spring and autumn. The biggest event is holding a symposium. Since it is an association of trainers combining racehorses and riding horses, we will provide training related to the acclimatization and training of racehorses transitioning to riding horses. In addition, since racehorses are currently being produced through various training centers, there are plans to analyze and present the effects of the training process and the differences between horses that received training and those that did not.

Among them, the Korea Racing Authority is most interested in how to handle the taming and training involved in converting racehorses into riding horses.It is a matter that we need to think about together on how to carry out the education in between.There are various areas, including those, that need to be cooperated on. What kind of horse should the Korean-style riding horse be, and how should it go, and so on. We will discuss with the Korea Racing Authority, the Korea Equestrian Federation, and others to consider the direction the Equestrian Trainers Association should take.

Relying on those things, we have been preparing for the founding. We’ve been preparing for about a year.Establishing a nonprofit corporation requires various forms and procedures. We thoroughly reviewed those matters through the legal affairs officer, and also explained the association’s founding purpose to the relevant official at the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. I will do my utmost to secure approval for the incorporation through a meeting with officials from the Ministry of Agriculture,

On November 28, the Korean Association of Korean Language Trainers was launched. An association was born for horse trainers working across both racehorses and riding horses. We interviewed Chairman Kwon Seung-joo, who was elected as the inaugural president at the founding general meeting.The establishment of the association feels somewhat delayed. I have been preparing since last September. After talking to various horse trainers, related organizations and institutions,

As the Year of the Blue Horse arrives, the horse industry is rapidly emerging as a new growth engine that will inject fresh vitality into the struggling rural economy and the national economy. At the same time, a red light has once again been cast on the horse racing industry, which will lay the foundation for fostering the horse industry, causing concern in both the horse industry and the horse racing sector.At the beginning of the new year, the opposition is once again raising its voice against the new Yongsan branch, while the Daejeon branch announced plans to expand in order to improve customer service, but civic groups are pushing back.The Korea Racing Authority had planned to expand and relocate its Yongsan branch office (off-track betting center) from 40-590 Hangang-ro 3-ga to 16-48 Hangang-ro 3-ga in October last year.

He emphasized the necessity of hosting the center, saying, “The development and establishment of the Chungju Mal Culture Complex Leisure Center is expected to greatly contribute to revitalizing the Suanbo Tourism Special Zone, which is currently in a desperate state, and the residents of the Suanbo area are earnestly hoping for it.”

As part-time horse racing workers, betting ticket sellers only need to come to work on the days races are held to handle ticketing and guidance, and because they currently work two days a week, they fall under the category of ultra-short-hour workers with less than 15 working hours per week. If the weekly working hours are 15 hours or more, under the Labor Standards Act and the Act on the Standards of Working Conditions, the employee may receive paid holidays and annual paid leave, and be eligible for severance pay.The ticket-selling union said, “The Korea Racing Authority only forcibly adjusted meal and break times, reducing working hours to less than 15 hours, while the actual working hours are more than 15 hours.” They added, “Because management cuts the meal and break times by 10 minutes each, we can’t even have a leisurely meal.” It was argued that all actual working hours should be recognized.
