Meanwhile, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs stated, "A portion of the revenue generated from horse racing is being allocated to the Livestock Development Fund under Article 42 of the Korea Racing Authority Act, supporting the agriculture and rural sectors, including funding for the horse industry, scholarships, and welfare projects." It added, "This year, 159.4 billion won has been contributed to the Livestock Development Fund, with 17.2 billion won for horse industry development, 15.3 billion won for scholarships in rural areas, 7.6 billion won for rural welfare projects, and 6 billion won for promotional projects to boost the consumption of agricultural and livestock products."

Even on the afternoon of Saturday, February 25, when I covered Haman County Equestrian Park, Mr. Gu was once again showing off his enduring vigor, riding a horse without fail. At first, I just thought he was an elderly man who had been riding for a long time, but my perception soon changed. After dismounting, he gave carrots and sugar he had brought from home to the horse on the stirrup and said, "We were talking."Jo Gyeong-je, director of Haman County Equestrian Park, who was watching,

In fact, considering the fabric and production process, the price should have gone up, but as someone in the equestrian fashion business, I wondered why I had to follow traditional conventions. Therefore, they worked hard on pricing so that first-time riders would feel it was reasonable when purchasing the clothes. Given the current pricing policy, we may incur losses at first, but over time, I think all equestrians will come to favor Penakova. So I set it at 50% of the original price. Penacova is sold at the same price at all dealerships and approaches consumers with reasonable pricing.

Japanese equestrians do not avoid wearing high-quality European riding gear, but they shop reasonably. Regular riders seem to care more about how it feels or what it functions when they wear it rather than the brand. It was more effective for promoting Penakova to people to have played a few months in Japan than to have played diligently in Korea for four years. It seems that domestic athletes are only now showing interest in Penakova’s equestrian uniform after seeing that Japanese competitors at the European competition wore it. This is a disappointing aspect.

By chance, that athlete went on to win the dressage event at the All-Japan Championships, making him widely known in the Japanese equestrian world. She became even more well-known because she never missed first place in dressage and consistently achieved excellent results. Then, through an agency specializing in equestrian apparel, we received an offer, and recently our brand was officially launched in a shop inside a craneside riding stable in Japan.It is bittersweet, as I am grateful that Japanese equestrian athletes are being recognized

In the end, although the Western District Court issued a settlement recommendation urging both parties to reach an agreement, the court is expected to rule in favor of the Korea Racing Authority in early July of a provisional injunction seeking to prohibit nine individuals, including Jung Bang (44, female), co-representative of the 'Yongsan Virtual Horse Racing Gambling Ban Committee,' from approaching buildings near the racetrack, after the opposition committee declared its refusal, demanding a fine of 1 million won.Meanwhile, the Western District Court made it clear that the legality of the opening of the Yongsan off-track betting facility should be determined through a subsequent administrative lawsuit.

While promoting the horse industry itself is important, fashion companies could also raise awareness by first showcasing equestrian apparel and fashion. Just as people who don’t play golf wear golf wear or people who don’t hike wear hiking clothes, riding wear can also be enjoyed as everyday clothing by the general public. Just as someone who doesn’t hike might start thinking about going to the mountains after wearing hiking clothes, someone who doesn’t ride may feel like trying horseback riding after seeing themselves in riding gear.

My body felt lighter now. It is beneficial not only for men, but for people of all ages and genders. But you have to ride safely. A person who has only just learned to speak and can barely walk should not suddenly start running and jumping. In that case, it would obviously be a problem. However, once you know how to handle the horse and develop riding ability, and can maintain a safe pace, horseback riding is a sport you can enjoy not in your 60s or 70s, but even in your 80s. Looking at examples abroad, older people also enjoy horseback riding.

Looking back now, it really is as ridiculous as they said. Since I thought that way too in the past, it's only natural that most people who don't know are thinking the same. But it is safe to ride.And the way various media outlets report on the issue also seems to play a part. This is because the media tends to portray the company in a negative light rather than highlighting its strengths. Most of the reports are negative, such as news of horses falling off horses or horses running across roads after escaping from the ranch.

The Korea Racing Authority also stated that it will continue to make efforts to engage in ongoing dialogue with local residents during the pilot operation period. First, he emphasized active participation in mediation through the Korea Conflict Resolution Center, designated by the National Unity Committee, and made it clear that he would continue direct dialogue with local residents by holding meetings with the opposition committee and holding project briefings for local inhabitants.The Korea Racing Authority also plans to ensure objectivity in its efforts to diversify communication channels and in the evaluation of the pilot operation.

After establishing Penacoba Korea, I learned about the Sejong Equestrian CEO Course, and during the process, they reached out for help, saying they wanted to wear equestrian fashion wear and hold a fashion show at the graduation ceremony. Through that connection, I sponsored the event, and when I visited to say hello at the next freshman entrance ceremony, I saw that I was listed among the new students. It was something Executive Director Park had applied for in advance. That’s how I officially began horseback riding.

He and Executive Director Park had known each other since they were running their own businesses. Executive Director Park worked in the fur and leather sector, while I was engaged in the transportation business. Since we also handled a lot of fashion-related transportation, we got to know each other well. As various difficulties arose while each of us was on our own path, we wanted to work together and accomplish something. So in August 2015, the idea emerged to create a horseback riding brand focused entirely

The committee left it to its discretion to thoroughly diagnose the issues identified after the pilot operation ended and to consider whether to take drastic measures, such as closing the project, if complaints continue to be raised.KRA Chairman Hyun Myung-kwan said, "The KRA plans to accept the court's settlement recommendation," adding, "We will do our best to break away from outdated practices through the pilot operation of the Yongsan off-track betting facility and use it as a milestone for innovation." Regarding efforts to resolve the conflict with the opposition committee, he said, "Restoring mutual trust with the opposition committee is the top priority," adding, "We will do our utmost to ensure that the Korea Racing Authority's sincerity is conveyed by approaching dialogue with an open mind and patience."

Students from Seongsim Girls' Middle and High School also participated in the press conference and presented an appeal. In their appeal, the student council of Seongsim Girls' Middle School expressed concern, saying, "Looking out the classroom window, one can see the massive building of a gambling den," and warned that "horse racers from across the country will flock here, forced to learn a get-rich-quick mentality and materialism that destroys their lives." They also appealed to President Park Geun Hye, a graduate of Seongsim Girls' Middle and High School, saying, "Your help is desperately needed," and requested, "Please assist in repurposing this building into a library and cultural center for the youth who will carry the future."

Just as Park Se-ri paved the way for domestic golfers when they couldn't reach the world stage, and Park Chan-ho opened the door for Korean baseball players to enter the Major Leagues, there is a sense that 'Triple Nine' has played at least a part in that. I hope a second and third 'Triple Nine' will emerge in the future.Choi Byung-bu and his wife undertook a long-distance journey of about 10 hours four times each, from the Dubai World Cup Carnival to the Dubai World Cup, to watch a total of four tournaments featuring 'Triple Nine.'

The Korea Racing Authority stated that while accepting the court's decision, it will make additional efforts to address concerns raised by the opposition committee regarding infringement on the right to learn by operating only during the school vacation period on Friday and actively participating in mediation through the Korea Conflict Resolution Center.However, the opposition committee maintains that it cannot accept the court's decision.In an email sent to reporters on the evening of the 15th, the opposition committee stated, "We will not accept any recommendation that includes recognition of the Korea Racing Authority's pilot opening, regardless of its content."

On June 14, the Hwaseong City Regional Development Research Center held a final briefing session in the city hall's small conference room on the 'Study for Establishing Development Plans to Foster Hwaseong's Horse Industry' and the 'Development Plan for Senior Leisure Welfare for Hwaseong's 6075 New Seniors.'In his opening remarks, Mayor Chae In-seok said, “I hope that the research projects announced today will take shape and serve as a foundation for Hwaseong to develop into a city where people come first and where people live.”In the “Study on Establishing Development Plans for Fostering Hwaseong’s Horse Industry,” Senior Researcher Son Kwon-il proposed comprehensive horse industry policies, including a status survey, qualitative and quantitative expected effects, and a five-year mid- to long-term plan, to support the development of the horse industry following the designation of a horse industry special zone in the second half of this year.

Even on the day of the interview, Choi Byung-bu showed his special affection by personally checking on 'Triple Nine’s' safety. A corner of Chairman Choi Byung-bu’s office filled with horse-related plaques.I’m considering about four domestic races for this year. There are about four events: the Busan Mayor’s Cup in July, the Korea Cup in September, the President’s Cup, and the Grand Prix. I'm also considering letting him run a regular workout session in the middle.There may be many reasons why Triple9 has come this far, including good management,

Compared to our hotel, the Dubai hotel is truly hotel-grade. First, the horse stable area is large, and each one is equipped with air conditioning. And everything is pleasant. Next to it is a grassland for exercise; the grassland attached to the village of Masah, where eight dogs live, is only about one thousand pyeong. This is something we cannot imagine. It's true that this is possible because Dubai is a wealthy country. Even if it doesn't reach that point, the current aging of the massage system also needs to be addressed first. Horses can improve their ability only when they are comfortable.

Yoshida Ma-ju shows me videos and brags about how much she boasts to me. Even though we won when we faced each other. Honestly, from an objective standpoint, the difference with Japan is indeed significant. The difference was clear just by looking at the number of equestrian officials who visited Dubai. There were only about ten horse racing officials from Korea in total, but in Japan, there were 30 to 40 journalists, and including staff, it seemed to be around 100.Last Sunday, a plaque of appreciation ceremony for the Dubai World Cup was held at LetsRun Park Pukyong.
