Former president Lee Jong-eun also privately organized and conducted training related to the Hunter competition for student equestrianism, and the people who received that training at the time were now the board members of the Student Equestrian Association. To develop it in a way suited to Korea’s circumstances, we have held symposiums, conducted tests, and continued to hold referee training sessions.Previously, we kept the competition course hidden and did not disclose it,

We also plan to give the student athletes selected in this competition the opportunity to observe foreign matches by utilizing the reserve team system. We are trying to assist some associations in providing many opportunities to attend various overseas competitions.Rather than concentrating benefits on a few players,we will move in the direction of giving benefits to more children. That is why the role of the international director is important. Because a great deal of high-quality information must be found for the development of youth equestrianism.

Last year, a landmark competition in Korean student equestrianism was held at Daemyung Vivaldi Park in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province. It is an international pony competition called CSIP,recognized by the International Federation of Equestrian Sports. It was opened at Daemyeong. We are also planning to hold the CSIP competition this year, but due to the Jung Yoo-ra case, we are unable to make a final decision at this time. If it is held, this year we can present an even more upgraded version than last year.

Every time there was a competition,the association directors would see us working hard from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.for the event,and the children would be the first to say thank you for all their hard work The children also knew that the Student Equestrian Association was working hard for them.Nowadays, most families have only one or two children,so they may lack social skills and emotional bonding abilities,but if education is provided through horses as animal-assisted learning, children can become more refined and develop their ability to connect emotionally.

Starting this year, we’ll have a lot of youth matches. We plan to divide them by region and hold many matches, including preliminary rounds for the club league. If the competition footage filmed here were broadcast live, people anywhere in the country could watch equestrian competitions from other regions. You can watch the youth competition held on Imjado, Sinan, Jeollanam-do, without having to go in person to Gangneung, Gangwon Province, where a student equestrian athlete is competing. The Student Equestrian Association does not intend to take the lead in organizing competitions

Because he was said to be close with Executive Director Park Won-oh and Director Park Jae-hong, he was pushed around and around, and before anyone knew it he had become Choi Soon-sil’s man. But that’s absolutely not true. I hardly ever met Executive Director Park Won-oh, and since Director Park Jae-hong and I are senior and junior in the equestrian world, I just greeted him.After taking charge of the Student Equestrian Association, I hardly made any contact. It was exaggerated that I was close with Executive Director Park. The Student Equestrian Association has nothing to do with politics.

Ultimately, it was finally changed to be held within the Korea Racing Authority, and the association decided to handle everything directly, from organizing the event to setting up the venue. There was a budget previously secured for things like installing stands and LED lighting needed to hold the event at a different location, but it seems that during the process of executing it, criticism arose over what appeared to be careless management.And I can somewhat relate to the shortcomings in management as well.

Regarding this, the Student Equestrian Association believes that, focusing on youth,they must work even harder to turn this crisis into an opportunity and revive it.Since I run a business, I also want to introduce a management mindset into running the Student Equestrian Association. It is a kind of know yourself and know others concept.We also plan to get consulting from experts and, if there are talented people, recruit them to work with us.There was a time when the Korea Racing Authority commissioned a sports marketing expert to conduct an analysis in an effort to develop ways to revitalize equestrian competitions

Choi Byung-wook, who was elected in a by-election held due to the resignation of the previous president and began serving as the head of student equestrianism, is a former equestrian athlete who has been widely regarded as the right person to lead student equestrianism after gaining experience across the entire horse industry, including serving as an executive of the former Student Equestrian Federation, an executive of the Owners’ Association, and an outside director of the Korea Racing Authority.

In the equestrian world, it is often said that Korean equestrian success depends on youth and student equestrian training. It also means that many equestrians share the understanding of the importance of youth and student equestrianism. With former president Choi Byung-wook successfully securing re-election in the 36th election for president of the Korea Student Equestrian Federation held on the 6th, the Korea Student Equestrian Federation can now accelerate efforts to consistently revitalize youth and student equestrian programs.

If you become a teaching assistant on the hillside main road, cardiopulmonary function improves. Just like when we have a running race, kids who are good at sports quickly get back to their usual breathing after finishing the run, whereas kids who aren’t good at sports find it extremely exhausting. The racehorse is the same. Running uphill improves cardiopulmonary function, enabling stable breathing. Climbing up on the back leg greatly reduces the risk of injury.You can also correct your posture. When racehorses try to run with their heads held high, if they are trained on the hill track, they will naturally lower their heads and run. Also, hill training is extremely important, such as enabling interval training assistance.

The meaning of training can be an opportunity to become interested in what changes occur when a racehorse is trained. Introducing exercise physiology does not immediately improve a racehorse’s ability. However, if one studies equine exercise physiology, they can scientifically establish why they are conducting such training, so they can, to a greater extent, shake off some doubt and devote themselves to creating strong arguments when implementing the training.I have mentioned several times in the column the importance of the hillside road. Please explain why the hillside road is important and what is good about teaching on the hillside road.

Thank you for saying so much about the importance of the hillside road. We are thinking of introducing a hillside road in Pukyong as well. However, it naturally takes time before making it. I understand that it was said in the past that a treadmill can also produce the effect of a hill track, but how should a treadmill be used to achieve an effect similar to that of a hill track.The main hill track is usually made with a 4% gradient, but if a treadmill is used, it can be set to 10% and the racehorse can run on it. When using a treadmill, you will be doing only the treadmill exercise, so you need to use a higher incline than a regular hill track.

Hiraga’s visit to the farm manager drew a warm response from trainers and other staff involved in the massage. Despite the difficult content, the Bukyung staff made an effort to learn by asking many questions to introduce the new teaching method. After intense training, I poured out all the questions I’d been wondering about, like how and how much I should rest.If the massaging personnel understand the principles of equine exercise physiology, they can scientifically determine what changes occur when training is conducted on racehorses.

Last year, reaching 1,200 wins also brought jockey Park Tae-jong’s record about five years closer, and it took only about nine months to add just 100 more wins to reach 1,300, thereby shortening even the period needed to accumulate wins. Let’s Run Park Busan Gyeongnam (Director Ko Jung-hwan) held a lecture series inviting overseas horse trainers and physiology experts from July 5 to 8. The invited lecturer is Atsushi Hira, head of the Hidaka Training Center of the Japan Racing Association (JRA), who researches equine exercise physiology from a veterinary perspective at the JRA. If exercise physiology is applied to racehorses, strong racehorses can be developed through scientific methods.

Although introducing exercise physiology does not immediately improve a racehorse’s ability, it allows the trainer to establish scientific evidence for why they are training the racehorse this way. Racehorse exercise physiology is the process of providing scientific grounds to intuition.During this visit, Chief Hira spoke about the importance of the hillside road. He said that using the hill track improves racehorses’ cardiopulmonary function, makes interval training possible, and greatly reduces the risk of injury. During this visit of Hira to the farm manager, the massage officials were able to learn specific and scientific training methods.

If safety and the quality of education are ensured through a grading system for riding centers, schools will be able to conduct linked classes without financial burden.It is a room with the Olle Trail, a horse trail connecting the entire country. The road in front of the reservoir at our equestrian center was the place where a relay station stood on the road connecting Seoul and Gangneung. In the past, when horses were the means of transportation, there were relay stations all over the country.

Last year, our equestrian center also held grassroots equestrian competitions with support from the Korea Racing Authority, but there is a need to continuously expand support for regional equestrian competitions. It’s about developing the local equestrian competition into a regional festival. Children participating in the equestrian competition will show off their skills, and parents, grandfathers, and grandmothers will attend to watch them, making it a festival that brings the local community together.
