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,

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.

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.

TEST008

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.

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.

TEST008

I thank the horse racing fans who always support “Changse.” I think today’s victory was possible because of the horse racing fans who never forgot and kept supporting us.I was very worried from before the race until we crossed the finish line. Before the race, you seemed distracted during training, but during the race, you seemed to have focused well in the moment. Because “Changse” performed better when leading, they ordered jockey Lee Chan-ho to take the lead. He was instructed to go ahead even if it was somewhat difficult at first. I felt very anxious because it seemed like I was overtaken just 100 meters before the finish line. But I think I was able to endure it because Changse has a strong tenacity to not lose once he gets a horse beside him. Actually, I wasn’t in the best condition today.

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.

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.

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

test008

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.

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.

test008

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.

test008

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.

test008

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,

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.

test008

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,

Mirinae Equestrian Club in Yangpyeong,Gyeonggi Province, won the Grand Prize in the Equestrian Club of the Year category this year, following its previous win in the Best Youth Equestrian Team category at the 18th Horse Industry Awards.With top-tier facilities nationwide, excellent horses,and riding instructors, Mirinae Riding Club aims to achieve the ultimate completion of youth education through proper equestrian training. We met with Lee Kwang-seop, the head of Mirinae Equestrian Club,
