However, scholarship donations have now dropped significantly. This is because even if the opposing parties donate scholarships, they do not disclose their names and there is no feedback from the scholarship recipients. While running a scholarship project, I had the pleasure of helping someone and seeing the other person expressing gratitude, but a scholarship project through the opposing party does not do that at all. Personally, I have heard that I will study hard when working on a scholarship project, but I have never received any feedback from the Busan Gyeongnam Maju Scholarship Association. The list of people who have contributed scholarships must be disclosed in order to spread the voluntary donation culture of the opposing parties.

It was a time when automation devices were introduced in Korea, but each company brought in only automation machines and drawings, so they called me after hearing my rumors. At that time, I was paid 20,000 won per day, but I briefly went to install it in the evening and received 30,000 won. A newspaper company also gave me a look when the rotary machine broke down at night and received 30,000 won each. There were many calls from the Government Complex, and the government complex said it would take long to send a car home after it broke down, adding that it would be nice to have a phone, and they installed it the next day.

Let's Run Park Busan and South Gyeongsang Province also established the Busan and South Gyeongsang Province Horse Racing Scholarship in 2007 and are actively carrying out scholarship projects until now. Many of the faces voluntarily donate and contribute to society, but among them, Kwak Jong-soo, better known as the face of 'Mr. Park', stands out. I visited Kwak Jong-soo's office in Seocho-gu, Seoul for an interview on the 24th of last month. When I entered the room, I was filled with various citations and appreciation plaques. What stood out was the certificate of appreciation I received from the National Tax Service. As an entrepreneur, I felt like I had fulfilled my duty to pay sincere tax.

When I asked the islanders, they said that they needed musical instruments such as Punggeum. At that time, Punggeum was about 1.5 million won, but they sent it to the school at their own expense. I visited the school in Ijakdo again to deliver Punggeum, and the whole school lined up on the playground and clapped their hands in gratitude. It was a cold winter, but it was impressive to see students come out to the school playground and applaud. And when can someone like me who has only lived in the industrial field as an engineer stand in the church and speak to the students? A few days later, I was more moved. Lee Jak-do students sent 70 to 80 thank-you letters home.

Some people said that they were trying to get insurance. They don't even get insurance if they're over five years old. The misunderstanding was resolved only when an explanation was posted that "Mr. Park" was not covered by insurance and that it did not have insurance. Watching it made me sad and angry. "Mr. Park" was a word that gave me a lot of joy. In a way, he is like a child. It was such a smart word that he recognized me every time I went. I felt like I was shedding tears looking at me before getting hurt, but it's sad to think about that. I could have gotten rehabilitation treatment if I were like today. It's a pity that I couldn't afford to pay attention to my business as I was busy at the time.

Many jockeys' dream is to be 'honor jockeys.' Watching Park Tae-jong as a jockey in Seoul, I also dreamed of becoming an "honorary jockey." I am sad that it was achieved in Busan, but another goal is to win 1,000 titles. And now, there are more foreign jockeys, and before I retire, I will show my assistant teachers that Korean jockeys are never behind foreign jockeys. This year, I am going to challenge for an assistant teacher's license. "Honor jockeys" are exempt from the assistant teacher examination. There are only two or three more interviews left. I plan on turning into assistant teachers after being active for two or three more years. I want to show that we Korean jockeys are never behind foreign jockeys.

Alcohol is never put on my mouth if it's not a day off even if I want to drink. It's dangerous when training at dawn, so I have to control myself. The hardest part is that I have to control myself for my job. There were a lot of words that I couldn't remember just one in particular. I don't remember the other horse being the same as me. When teaching assistant, I thought I was the first place because some horses were so compatible, but there were cases where other riders couldn't win because they had good chemistry. No matter how well they work, if their grades are poor, the riders think they didn't work well. In my case, I think I almost fit well when training.

Busan is the place I can't relax. I won 24 games this time last year, but I only won 10 games this year. I think it depends on how many foreign jockeys are introduced. My parents were interested in horses because they rode horses, and I had ridden horses once or twice when I was young with my parents. Then, naturally, I also learned about a racetrack. Originally, I was a boxer until high school. As a boxer, I also had a good performance. At that time, I participated in the National Sports Festival as a representative of Gyeonggi Province and won the runner-up prize in the light flyweight class. After boxing for 7 years, I became a candidate for the Korean Horse Association and quit.

First, each rider has his or her own know-how. It is said that when a horse is sent, it feels like putting gears in a car, but honestly, I don't know about the horse. He has his or her own feeling. I always participate in early morning training so as not to lose that feeling and not to be taken away. When the horse I trained is also in someone else's hands, the feeling of the horse's mouth changes drastically. Every jockey has his own know-how, but I think he knows a little more about horses because I have ridden horses longer than my juniors. I made my debut as a jockey in Seoul. I was playing in Seoul and was assigned here when the racetrack opened in Busan.

You need to know what you are saying and continue your training while keeping pace. In training, not only running, but also warming up your body and doing it together from the beginning to the end. In 2015, I was seriously injured. I was in a fall accident while playing, and I fractured my toe, pelvis, and waist bone. Fortunately, I was discharged from the hospital after wearing a cast without major surgery. I took a month off and went to the racetrack again without any bones sticking together. Until now, there have been many injuries that have been cracked in my bones, but there have been no major surgeries other than surgery due to broken ligaments in my fingers.

During his visit to Italy, he saw a private horse riding center and well-equipped horse-riding facilities, and he said it was impressive that the members ride horses for their own sport. You have to give attention and love to horses. In fact, raising horses is more fun than riding horses. If you give them love, they are closer than friends. Horses are the closest pets to people. At one point, when you had a horse, you would wake them up by playing music in the morning. If you are a true lover, you should know that it is important to ride horses while watching their breathing and watching my breathing instead of letting them work hard to death. I talk to a horse and walk for about 30 minutes before riding a horse.

Koo Ja-woon also said he hopes Haman, his hometown, and his hometown, will develop into a specialized city for the horse industry. An extra-riding course in Namgang-myeon will also be established, and it will be used for a sunflower festival visited by 300,000 tourists in July, and an endurance competition will be possible. Whenever he visits the Haman County Horseback Riding Park, he brings not only carrots for horses but also snacks for the employees. This is to express gratitude to the employees for their hard work for the county residents. When asked what is another advantage of the Haman County Horseback Riding Park, he summed it up in one word, "There are no sick horses.

We are making high-quality products. It may not be the same as European horseback riding products, but it seems that it has risen to a similar level to a certain extent. And I worked hard to set a reasonable price. In fact, considering the fabric and the manufacturing process, it is correct that the price should increase, but I thought, "Do I have to follow the existing customs as a horse-riding fashion business?" So, I tried to set the price so that people who are new to horseback riding might feel reasonable when they buy clothes. According to the current price policy, at first, we will lose money, but over time, I think that all horse-riding people will like phenakova. So, we set it at 50% of the existing price.

By chance, the athlete won the dressage event at the All-Japan Championships, and it became well known to the Japanese horse racing world. It was even more promoted because he did not miss the first place in dressage and achieved excellent results. Then, a proposal was made through an agency that handles horseback riding clothes, and recently, our brand officially entered a shop inside the Crane Horseback Riding in Japan. It's a bittersweet feeling as it is appreciated that Japanese equestrian players recognize and visit us before Korean equestrian players. It's not that Japanese equestrian people don't wear European superior equestrian clothes, but they basically shop reasonably.

When I first rode a horse, I felt it was a really good exercise. As I learned and rode horses in earnest, I fell into the animal of horses. In the past, I thought horseback riding was dangerous because it was about handling horses. Now that I think about it, it's funny. Since I've thought about it in the past, it's natural that the majority of people who don't know think so. But it's safe enough to ride it. And the contents of reports about horses in various media also seem to play a part. This is because the appearance of horses known through the media shows a lot of bad things rather than good things. Most of the negative reports are about the news of falling off while riding a horse or the fact that the horse escaped the ranch and ran down the road.

In fact, it was not an easy environment to speak in, but I accidentally entered the company. I learned horse-riding thanks to the recommendation of Executive Director Park Cheon-seok. After establishing the Penakova Korea subsidiary, I heard that there is a CEO course for riding in Sejong, and during this process, I wanted to do a fashion show while wearing horse-riding fashion clothes for the graduation ceremony, and I asked for help. I was able to sponsor the event due to such close relationship, and when I stopped by to greet the next freshman entrance ceremony, I saw that I was on the list of freshmen. That's how Executive Director Park applied in advance. That's how I started riding in earnest.

test008

Executive Director Park worked in the fur and leather sectors, and I was in the transportation sector. I got acquainted with him as he transported a lot of fashion. While going their separate ways, I encountered various difficulties, so I wanted to work together to do something. So, in August 2015, instead of Modniye Dream, there was talk of creating a horse-riding brand that specializes in horseback riding and establishing a company specializing in horse-riding fashion. So, he established Penakova Korea. He took over all rights, including intellectual property rights related to horse-riding, that Modniye Dream had. That's how he established the Penakova Korea subsidiary in August 2015.

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 selected as the annual 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 I sent Triple Nine to Dubai well. Like baseball and golf, we should spread around the world with Korean horse racing. I think "Triple Nine" played a little role, just as Park Se-ri appeared when Korean golfers were unable to enter the world stage in the past,

Last Sunday, there was a ceremony to deliver the Dubai World Cup merit plaque at Pukyong, Let's Run Park. I jokingly said this there. "Our horses will stay in a good stable like a hotel for 3 to 4 months and then come back to Korea, and I'm worried about whether they will be able to adapt well." Dubai's stable is really hotel-class compared to our stable. First of all, the floor space is large, and air conditioning is installed in each stable. And everything is comfortable. Next to it is an exercise grassland, where eight animals stay, but it is a flat area for a massage. It is unimaginable for us. It is true that Dubai is a rich country. However, even if you can't go that far, the old Masara needs to be improved first.

On the morning of the competition, it rained and stopped, and when I was running the race, it didn't rain. And the word "nani" means the international rating is 113, so he later ran a 2,000-m race in Dubai. I came in fifth place, and I was on the same plane as Masu Yoshida who came back from Dubai. How proud Masu Yoshida is of me while showing me the video. We won the match. To be honest, objectively, it is true that the difference from Japan is remarkable. The difference was huge just by looking at the number of horse racing officials in Dubai. There were about 10 horse racing officials from Korea, but in Japan, there seemed to be about 30 to 40 reporters and about 100 people including the officials.

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.

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,

While the second five-year plan for fostering the horse industry has been partially successful in two years at the end of 2018, the year of the golden pig has passed and the new year of the year has come again, which has not been able to overcome the limitations of improving awareness of the horse industry as a whole. In 2018, the Korean Federation of Horse Industries tested and implemented various contents to improve awareness of the right horse culture and to test the win-win model of interacting with the general public to spread the base of the horse industry. Through joint events to link the spirit of sharing, coexistence,

test008

Since we do not have many such manpower yet, we need harmony rather than sharing. In addition, the equestrian facilities approved by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism are not only in charge of athletes, but are operated as the most important facilities for training horses, and I think it should be recognized as the most important sales market for farmers, especially as a seller of horses. Our industry is currently very poor and small in terms of industry. However, it has a very high growth potential in the future and has the potential to be spotlighted as a high-quality public sports leisure by the people.
