After doing some research, I came across the fact that I like to take a bath the day after tomorrow when horses are being molted, and I like the sand of Hapcheon Lake especially, so I even airlifted them myself and made horse baths and swimming pools. I was so happy to go near a sleeping horse and read books and drink tea. Whenever he comes to ride a horse, he brings a carrot and sugar for the horse. He is grateful for the words that protect his health and give up his back for him. The horses carrying Koo Ja-woon also seemed to express gratitude to him with their eyes. I was lucky to meet the Haman-gun Horseback Riding Park, where I can ride my favorite horse at any time in my old age, said Koo Ja-woon. He said, "Haman-gun Horseback Riding Park is a great blessing for our county residents.

He seemed to have met a noble, not a native speaker. Nowadays, everyone communicates with horses, but in fact, it is rare to see people who love horses that much. The 82-year-old seemed to be a pure child when he talked and kissed horses. He seemed very happy. As expected, Koo Ja-woon is said to have studied horse physiology and diseases since the 1980s as a doctor's family. From 1982 to 1991, he served as the head of the Korean Horse Racing Authority, supported horse racing at the 86 Asian Games and 88 Olympic Games, and was able to do so thanks to the constant support and encouragement of former chairman Lee Kun-young, who moved the Ttukseom Racecourse to Gwacheon.

I hope we can give more students a chance. I hope the horseback riding experience program will be of great help in preventing re-flight." It is argued that normal operation should be pre-empted for a fair and objective evaluation of the Yongsan OTC sales office.Prime Minister Chung Hong-won recently called for active dialogue and proactive measures on the Yongsan OTC issue at a meeting of executives as politicians joined the conflict over the Yongsan OTC. In response, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry quickly shortened the trial period of the Yongsan OTC to the end of September and called on the Ma Association to devise and implement a plan to operate transparently and fairly by forming an evaluation committee composed of neutral and objective personnel.

The second horseback riding site is located in Gyorae-ri near Sangumburi, which is in charge of tourism and horseback riding and education in the eastern region. It has 24 heads and 20 heads of horses, respectively, and has already signed up for insurance. It started its activities focusing on the sale of horse-related products and international exchanges. Organic horse feed is also being developed in an agreement with Chungbuk National University, and has also signed an agreement with Jeju National University of Tourism's Lifelong Education Center to run a horse riding class. Through an agreement with the provincial education office, nearly 300 people a month are running a horse riding experience program, and I would like to put more effort into donating free talents through horse riding. The lectures are being conducted well by combining theories and know-how from field experience.

In addition, team leader Shin advised, "When choosing a horse at a foreign horse auction, you should choose a horse suitable for the domestic environment, rather than placing importance on the compost or lineage." In addition, it was well received by presenting tips for efficient auction participation, main points when observing bridging-up, main points when conducting a horse body test, and main points when participating in an asking price through experience in actual situations. Jang Byung-woon, head of the race system transition TF team of the Korean Racing Association, explained the change in handicap racing following the introduction of the rating, saying, "We will announce the preliminary rating of the first-tier handicap race in October this year and the adjustment of the rating immediately after the race."

Penakova is always sold at the same price in all dealerships and reaches consumers at a reasonable price. If consumers know that, they will not ask for a discount. I hope you look at it as a general sports brand, not a horse-riding suit. With the development of the patch for horse-riding clothing, it is becoming more fashionable than the old clunky feeling. Even if the general public just wears it regularly, it is developing to the point where it is difficult to distinguish horse-riding clothes. Since the horse-riding suit itself fits so well, you may feel like you are wearing jeans. In this way, I hope it will be a horseback riding suit where we can dress up in our clothes and come back home.

Then, a proposal was made through an agency that handles horseback riding, and recently, the Korean brand has officially entered a shop inside the Crane Horseback Riding in Japan. It's a bittersweet feeling as it is appreciated that Japanese horsemen recognize and visit us first rather than Korean horsemen. It's not that Japanese horsemen don't wear European horseback riding clothes, but they basically shop reasonably. It seems that ordinary horsemen evaluate the feeling and function of wearing them rather than brands. Running for a few months in Japan was more effective in promoting Penakova than running for four years in Korea. I can see that Korean athletes are now interested in Penakova horseback riding after seeing that Japanese athletes who participated in European competitions will wear Penakova horseback riding clothes.

While it is important to promote the horse industry itself, fashion companies may first expose horse riding clothes and fashion to promote the horse industry. Just as those who do not play golf wear golf as their daily clothes, and those who do not go to the mountains wear hiking clothes as their daily clothes, ordinary people can enjoy wearing horseback riding clothes as their daily clothes. Just as people who do not go to the mountains wear hiking clothes and think about going to the mountains, people who do not go to the mountains wear horseback riding clothes and then ride horses. If the horse industry also turns their attention to fashion, there is certainly an opportunity to expose the horse industry to the general public.

Now I feel light. Not only is it good for men, but it is also beneficial for men and women of all ages. Instead, you should ride it safely. A person who is new to a horse and can barely walk should not run and run all of a sudden. If that happens, of course, it is a problem. However, if you know how to handle horses and speed up safely when you have a certain ability to ride horses, you can enjoy horseback riding in your 80s, not in your 60s and 70s. Even if you look at foreign cases, older people enjoy horseback riding. And in Korea, although older people cannot go hiking due to leg pain, if you know how to ride a horse a little, you can go out. Each local government is also making many rides, and since the rides are not necessarily for running, I think it will establish itself as a decent leisure for the elderly.

Kim Moon-young, CEO of Racing Media, who presented the race, pointed out that the current military system needs to be completely reorganized through a comparison of the racing system between Seoul and Pukyong, and argued that horse racing competitions should be improved to a system tailored to individual characteristics. Regarding the distribution of prize money in the ranking, it is necessary to be faithful to the fundamental nature of horse racing, which is the loss of victory, but this forces the sacrifices of the opponents, and said that the profit-making part should gradually increase for the development of the horse racing industry. In conclusion, Kim said that the biggest difference in the system between Seoul and Pukyong can be summarized as stable operation and infinite competition, and argued that the only answer to resolving various conflicts between Seoul and Pukyong is to unify all implementation systems.

It said it will establish a basic plan by the end of August and reflect the results of overseas case investigations, and then finalize the innovation plan for over-the-counter sales office after consultation with related agencies such as the Enforcement Industry Integration Supervision Committee and the Korea Racing Authority. Although the government has actively intervened, Prime Minister Chung Hong-won has stepped up to resolve social conflicts related to the over-the-counter sales office in Yongsan, the response from the opposition committee is still cold. The opposition committee expressed distrust that it is trying to give indulgence to the Horse Association in connection with Prime Minister Chung's order to come up with measures.

When I first rode a horse, I felt that it was a really good exercise. As I learned and rode a horse in earnest, I fell in love with an animal called a horse. In the past, I thought horseback riding was dangerous because it was about handling horses. Now that I think about it, it is a ridiculous thing to say. Since I had such thoughts in the past, it is natural that most people who don't know think so. However, you can ride it safely enough. And it seems that the news about horses in various media also plays a part. This is because the appearance of horses known through the media shows many bad things rather than good things. Most of the reports are negative, such as the news of a horse falling while riding a horse or the fact that the horse escaped the ranch and ran down the road.

The union was formed with the will to develop the horse industry, but there are difficulties due to a number of real problems. First of all, the legal system needs to be improved. For example, there is a problem with horse riding insurance, and insurance premiums vary from company to company and it is expensive. There are limitations to the current law in building a horse riding course in the grassland. As such, there are many sorrows and sorrows at the horse riding course in Jeju. As outside directors of the union, he is receiving policy advice from a lawyer and a former mayor of Seogwipo. Actor Gil Yong-woo has been appointed as an ambassador to promote the union and is also trying to revitalize the union. In November, the company is planning to hold an equestrian event that invites celebrities to help underprivileged children. The profits will be donated to

On the day of the interview, Choi Byung-bu, the face-to-face, looked at the safety of "Triple Nine" in person and showed special affection. 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 able to be selected as the 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 they sent "Triple Nine" to Dubai well. Like baseball and golf, we should spread to the world with Korean horse racing. I think "Triple Nine" played a role a little bit,

Masu Yoshida showed a video clip and showed how much he bragged about it to me. We won the match. To be honest, objectively, it is true that Japan and I have a wide gap with each other. The number of horse racing officials in Dubai made a big difference. There were about 10 officials from Korea, but in Japan, there seemed to be about 30 to 40 reporters and about 100 reporters including those from Japan. There was a ceremony to deliver the Dubai World Cup medal at Pukyong, the park, on Sunday last week. I jokingly said this at the venue. "Our horses will stay in a good stable like a hotel for 3-4 months and then come back to Korea, and I'm worried about whether they will be able to adapt well." Indeed, Dubai's stable is hotel-class compared to our stable. First of all, the area of street stalls is large, and air conditioning is installed in each street stall.

There is no special episode. If anything, we talked about it jokingly. The last Godolphin Mile race was raining a lot the day before, and since other horses have probably not been in many rain races, we jokingly said that we hope it will continue to rain. Since we've run in rain and wet sand, we thought it would be advantageous if it continued to rain. However, it rained on the morning of the competition, and when I was running the race, it didn't rain. I met Masu Yoshida of Japan in Dubai. It is the face of Nani, a famous Japanese horse. We will face off on Super Saturday, and Triple Nine ranked fifth and Nani ranked sixth, so we won.

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. Consequently, if I hadn't competed twice in the Dubai World Cup Carnival, I can't help but wonder if I would have won first or second place on Super Saturday instead of fourth place.

He had a two-month vacation due to poor racing performance in October and November. 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, on the world's best stage after being selected as the representative horse of the year for the second consecutive year, confirmed the current capability of Korean horses and also gave the current location of Korean horse racing.

Some pointed out that some delegates spent operating expenses recklessly. It was inevitable because there were several changes in the project last year. Originally, the plan was to hold a youth equestrian event in the square in front of Seoul City Hall, but it did not go well. Then, the plan was to change it to a park behind the National Assembly building in Yeouido, Seoul, and push for it again, but it failed at the end. As the plan was finally changed to hold it within the Korean Racing Authority, the association decided to do it directly from the event progress to the establishment of the venue. Earlier, there was a budget that considered the installation of stands and LED lights necessary to hold it in other places, but it seems that it was a lax operation in the process of implementing it.

Members of the Pukyeong Horse Association, which is largely divided into Seoul, Jeju, and other regions, showed considerable interest in the horse racing system and the horse racing industry as a whole, with more than 70 people attending the Pukyeong Horse Racing Seminar, which was held for the second time since last year's first member seminar.Co-operatives. It refers to a non-profit organization in which farmers and small and medium-sized business owners, who are economically weak, gather to purchase, produce, sell, and consume goods in cooperation. There have been no cooperatives in the horse industry. Although the union was promoted mainly by some representatives of horse racing courses, it is still sluggish due to the practical problem of not sympathizing with the union's philosophy of pursuing "non-profit" or not finding a leader.

His love for his hometown is unusual. In September 2014, he donated 30 million won in prize money to the Yeongcheon City Scholarship Association in the name of Yeongcheon Ace, who won his first competition. In September 2015, he donated the racehorse Dream Yeongcheon to Yeongcheon City and donated scholarships to the Pukyong Horse Association every year. "If it were another city, it would have been awkward to give a scholarship for a horse to be ranked first," said Lee Jong-hoon, the face-to-face. "It was possible to do this because Yeongcheon City, which is also my mother's hometown, is a horse industry city." When asked about the sluggishness of the project to build Yeongcheon at Let's Run Park, he said, "Let's Run Park Yeongcheon can develop only when Yeongcheon citizens love horse racing."
