TEST008

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.

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.

The all-time record set by jockey Moon Se-young will inevitably become a race against the legacy left by jockey Park Tae-jong. It was in 2007 that jockey Park Tae-jong, who debuted in 1987, reached 1,300 wins. It took about 20 years. Also, the time it took to go from 1,200 wins to 1,300 wins was 11 months, and at the time, jockey Park’s explosive record of wins was regarded as an impenetrable record. However, jockey Moon Se-young’s quest for victory is surpassing jockey Park Tae-jong. Jockey Moon Se-young, who had already begun chasing a new record for the shortest time to reach 100 wins, continued to become the record holder for the shortest time.

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.

test008

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.

test008

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.

Lee Chan-ho’s class is the right class for “Genesis.” He has a habit of leaning inward after the fourth corner, but since Lee Chan-ho’s jockey uses his left hand, he was able to cover this weakness very well. Changse is still very young, only three years old. Whether to participate in the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Governor’s Cup final will be decided by comprehensively considering the horse’s condition. Since they’re still young, I don’t plan to push them too hard until this year. We will manage Changse even more diligently so that it can show a strong performance in a bigger race.

Watching the Grand Prix footage, Miho Noburubon started on the lead and went straight into the final stage. Words that inevitably slip out can be improved by building endurance.This is both true and false. It’s a strong statement, but no one has a small heart. When we later found out the size of the hearts of the strong horses, all of their hearts were large. If the heart is large, the cardiopulmonary function is definitely excellent. A typical Thoroughbred heart accounts for 1% of body weight, weighing about 5 kg. Later, the heart weight of “T.M. Opera O,” one of Japan’s strongest horses, was measured and came out to weigh about 7 kg. What matters is how much the heart’s weight is exerted relative to body weight.

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.

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.

More than five on-site seminars and public hearings should be held, and the issues so far should be discussed in depth. It is time for the people’s will to be raised to the government, the association, and the Korea Racing Authority so that policies can be decided and supported. It’s not a binary of good and bad. Related organizations, associations, and local governments have hardly ever studied or presented advanced cases, have they. Have they ever officially solicited proposals for major projects.

Nearsighted administration makes the fieldwork even more difficult, and when the fieldwork focuses only upward and receives no support, resentment boomerangs back, creating a vicious cycle of mutual burdenA mid- to long-term, fundamental system is needed.A hardware-centered policy framework for the equestrian industry must shift to a software-centered one to take the first step toward revitalization.It’s time for the head of the equestrian industry division to come out,form a task force team, and work on a project that brings the content to life.

When we talk about training, we tend to focus only on making athletes, but in other countries, people study as well while also doing horseback riding, don’t they. In the field, the process is important, but we only care about the result. I want to keep working on projects where process and outcome, software and hardware, are mixed together.My son, who studied in the UK for ten years, has now changed his job and is cleaning up horse manure.Last year, I also completed endurance races of 40 and 80 km.

Of course, the path connecting the relay stations is their own turf in the rural-style riding center, so they must clean up and maintain the horse manure as well. Rural horseback riding centers that produce horses should become simple experience-focused, and leisure activities should be moved to horseback riding, resort trekking courses. There could be rest areas and lodging facilities where travelers can rest at the post station, as well as local agricultural product shops, and if combined,

That’s right. It’s important to enlarge the horse’s heart. As people often say, “the heart of sports,” training also enlarges the heart. When you train intensely, anaerobic exercise occurs, and if you sprint at full effort while doing anaerobic exercise, your heart also becomes stronger. First, endurance must be developed so that one can sprint at full effort, and afterward, it is important to provide good training in good condition.Hiraga, the ranch manager, is assessing the training conditions at LetsRun Park Pukyong. Assistant trainer Kwon Seung-ju informed Hira, the ranch manager, about the timing of the breaking and the race period so that he could present a realistically necessary alternative for the Bukyeong racehorse.

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.

Seeing that, I feel that the murals in the Goguryeo mound tomb are not false but real. If the horse industry is properly developed, it will become an enormous industry. It is expected to create employment for 300,000 people, and including related industries, the employment effect could reach 500,000 to 600,000. And it also fits with the trend among young people these days who always do it if they like it. It could become a decent line of work where I can ride horses and have fun, make money, teach children, and even compete.

Even if the reality of today is difficult and challenging for a businessperson, if they have a vision and hope for the future, they will take today’s reality into account, invest, and wait for the future. On the other hand, no matter how good today’s reality is, if there is no vision for the future, people will not invest. This is a horse offered to a horse industry operator. Still, since it’s only a passing cold wind for now, I think if you don’t be too surprised and wait a little, the spring breeze will blow.In front of the main palace gate,
