Until now, the KRA has not given up any lingering feelings about the construction of the Seocho branch through an administrative lawsuit regarding the ruling to cancel the building permit for the over-the-counter sale in Seocho-gu, Seoul, but it has reportedly given up its appeal recently. In October last year, the KRA filed a lawsuit against the Seoul Metropolitan Government's decision to change the city management plan, which served as an excuse for the building permit for the Seocho branch. The KRA said in the lawsuit that the delay in construction was not a KRA's responsibility, but an inevitable reason, and that the cancellation of the building permit in Seocho-gu was contrary to the building law, and that the Seoul Metropolitan Government's decision to change the city management plan was also unjust.

Although the Korean Racing Authority filed a lawsuit to cancel the Seoul Metropolitan Government's "decision to change the city management plan," the loss was expected to cause financial losses as well as major difficulties in establishing, expanding, and relocating other over-the-counter sales offices, which eventually passed the Seoul Metropolitan Council's ordinance that hindered the Korean Racing Authority.There is also a recent move to legislate an amendment to mandate local governments to regulate whether to allow over-the-counter sales offices as urban planning ordinances. The amendment to the Enforcement Decree of the National Land Planning and Utilization Act "causes negative effects on the surrounding environment, such as encouraging gambling and causing traffic congestion," and "regulates whether to allow over-the-counter sales offices by delegating them to urban planning ordinances to create an environment suitable for local conditions."

In the case of Pukyong Racing Park, local governments made numerous promises at the time of the bid, but in the end, their promises have not been fulfilled properly except for leisure tax reduction. It is necessary to push for the construction of Yeongcheon Racing Park as soon as possible, but at a time when the environment of the horse racing industry is changing rapidly, it seems essential to improve the feasibility of the project for the construction of Yeongcheon Racing Park in order for the horse racing industry to overcome the crisis. The Seoul Metropolitan Council's restriction on the construction of over-the-counter sales offices had been predicted to some extent. The Korea Racing Authority and the Seoul Metropolitan Government had already filed a lawsuit regarding the promotion of the Seocho branch.

Representative Park Jong-woon of the Yeongcheon City Council (independent) asked about the current status of Yeongcheon Horse Racing Park and the details of the budget execution and the reason for the delay in the permit of the horse racing park through an administrative audit of the Industrial Construction Committee on the 10th (Tue). Representative Park strongly criticized the department in charge, saying, "After the confirmation of the candidate for the location, the city wasted only the budget and did not receive the final permission, so the landowners and citizens are suffering tremendously." After receiving a reply from a city official saying, "There is little that Yeongcheon City can do due to the delay in discussing additional agreements between Gyeongbuk Province and the Korean Horse Association regarding the establishment and operation of Yeongcheon Horse Racing Park," Park was outraged by the explanation by the city official, saying, "Citizens should go to a protest rally in Gyeongbuk Province."

The prize money system needs to be changed. Second, if you purchase expensive horsepills through an auction, the producer insures you for one year. Then, subsidies from the government reduce the burden, and if the other party purchases insurance after a year, the premium increases without government support. It is difficult for me to win 20 games a year, but I can see the difficulties of other opponents who do not get good results without explanation. Insurance premium support is needed. Third, the number of horsepills entering the company is currently limited to 10 heads, so even if you want to purchase more horsepills, you cannot purchase them. I hope that it will increase the opportunity to purchase more horsepills.

Dongtja. The mother of Dongtja is Mermaid, and she last produced Dongtja and has now passed away. So, she hopes that Dongtja will continue her mother's lineage. To that end, she hopes to go on the Queen's Tour and produce good results to be qualified as a seed mare. It is regrettable that the choice of horse racing or special races is small because it is Poemai. It is the King of Myeongwoonje. Currently under the supervision of Group 10, Kim Nam-joong, an assistant teacher, has high expectations and is thinking that he will be eligible to compete in big races by next year. Also, a horse named President is looking forward to it, but it seems to be a horse that is growing a little late. This horse is also expected to win the first team next year.

First, Professor Park Geum-ran, dean of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is engaged in various activities related to rehabilitation horseback riding. While serving as an academic director at the Korean Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Association, he teaches creative theories and practical skills necessary for classes as overseas training related to rehabilitation horseback riding. Professor Choo Ho-geun is currently working as a judge in the horse-riding world. He is still playing as a player. He teaches us the overall elements related to horseback riding in class and allows us to experience it. Above all, he is a warm mentor.

Most of the students have exercised since they were young and still take time out of school. All special sports students don't do it like Jeong Yu-ra. I have a friend who goes to college now. I go to Hanyang University and take classes all day on Mondays and Tuesdays. That's why I couldn't come today. Tomorrow, he takes classes and comes to exercise after 3 p.m. He decides what he will work out, registers himself, and comes to exercise even if it's late in the afternoon. Most of those athletes are like that. Few athletes quit school. I want to say that not all special sports athletes are like Jeong Yu-ra.

Eighty percent said it was right. One person, Choi Soon-sil, threw the horse racing world into chaos. How good is it for us to ask a horseback riding man to apologize to the president. And I fully understand their news conference on the fact that Choi Soon-sil suffered damage. Isn't it unfair from their point of view that Park Won-oh, the executive director, came down and said something while the referee was watching? Not long ago, there was an equestrian event for the chairman's boat in Sangju, where the general meeting of the players' association was held.

We asked for an interview because we have different views on some of the issues from our players. We completely disagree with Samsung and Hanwha asking them to leave the horse racing industry in the statement. I don't know if there is any other definite way to deal with the horse racing association or its executives, but I have a different opinion on how to respond emotionally to the incident without any resolution. This is the part that demanded the resignation of Samsung, the current chairman of the Korea Horse Racing Association. The players are grateful for the fact that a large company called Samsung supports them as chairman of the Korea Horse Racing Association.

Companies that participated in the industrial fair should be the center, but if it is held inside, it could cause interference. The fair itself could have been seen as part of an event held at a racetrack. There was also a concern that the main visitors would be fixed by those who visited Let's Run Park Seoul to enjoy horse racing rather than the general public. Also, Let's Run Park Seoul must install the facilities on outdoor sites, not on specialized exhibition facilities. As such, it is inferior in terms of exhibition infrastructure.

However, it is too expensive to enter a local festival and have a horse riding competition. And it is not possible to show the true nature of horse riding. After thinking about how to effectively host the competition with a small budget, I invited people to the horse riding field to hold the competition. First of all, it is the first international youth equestrian event held in Korea. Originally, Chinese youth athletes were supposed to participate, but they were not able to participate due to the THAAD issue. I heard from China that they really wanted to participate next year.

It was notable that international youth competitions are not common and that pony auctions are held together. The reason why the foundation of the Korean horse industry is weak is that most of the horses are imported, and I thought that the opening of the pony auction was meaningful because it is a process that is building the foundation for production and transactions. And in order for the base of the horse industry to expand, private horse riding grounds must be activated, and it was considered a lot that such events will be held in Icheon, a special horse industry zone.

Even now, it is common to think of horseback riding as an aristocratic sport. It is not easy to ride a horse unless you have some money. That's why it is starting with youth horseback riding. In particular, the Pony Bell is being put forward with an emphasis on making it easier for young people to live and popularize horses. For example, Icheon City invested 240 million won for youth horseback riding, and about 800 people are currently benefiting from it. If we continue to make such efforts, I think it will become a living sport in the future. If that happens, of course, there will be a way to ride a horse cheaply.

This competition has only been held for youth, but we plan to hold other competitions in the future by raising the age group. There is a place called Seongho Reservoir in Icheon City. I plan to contain everything about horses around this reservoir. It will focus on various horse industry-related businesses, from horse riding facilities to horseback riding schools, horse-riding residence hotels, and horse saddle-making companies. It will create many horse production and breeding farms to generate income and make them a center of popularization of horses with everything about horses.

My nephew, who used to ride horses, is now running a horse racing course in Gimcheon. Personally, my dream was to create a permanent horse racing market. I also designed a marketplace where my whole family could visit me on weekends to ride horses, watch shows, and buy supplies at the horse racing park. It was intended to host the event in Yeonggwang, Jeollanam-do, and recently, a local government in the metropolitan area showed interest in it and is pushing for it. Even in Korea, where the FTA began in earnest, the income of cattle and pigs is gradually decreasing. The government also encourages horses,

Recently, I think half-ringers, which are suitable for female and juvenile horseback riding, are good. They did horse riding, breeding farms, and were an early member of the Korean Horse Industry Association, and they also served as the head of the business department. Still, on weekends, they have been running a wagon at Ilsan Lake Park for 10 years, and it is still popular with children. I did it for a while in Heyri, Paju, and at that time, the children grew up and drove by, and when they saw me, they got off and said, "I remember my horse grandfather.

When I slaughter them, the meat usually comes out to 180kg, but the feed factory doesn't give me more than 4,000 won per kilo. It costs 500,000 won per head including transportation, but the horse riding center says it's expensive. I'll try to lower the price to the 300,000 won mark as much as possible. I learned horse riding after watching a police horse in Daegu when I was 21. Since then, I've been wanting to raise and learn horses. When I came to Paju, I started to work renting horses in dramas and movies, but I was in charge of importing, breeding, and selling ponies.

I visited first after seeing the announcement of the diversification business for retired horses. We made the cut-off meat into demonstration products such as beef jerky and sausage specialized in pet products. When the Chilgok plant is completed, it is expected that it will meet the demand for retired horses in Gyeongju, Busan and South Gyeongsang Province, and Yeongcheon. As it is a company specializing in handling abandoned horses,

The Korea Racing Authority is a public corporation, but I think it should be privatized. I think it will be a qualitative and quantitative development only when it comes to large corporations or private-led businesses. I want to buy a good horse and become an opponent who wins the three-way race. It would be even better if they produce their own horses and win the championship. I hope that starting next year, I will be able to run a recreational center to train horses with poor performance on the racetrack and perform well.

But for now, I don't know what I can do and how I can help. I think trainers need to acquire advanced training skills in the future. Instead of sticking to the old skills learned from our seniors, I think we can leap to an advanced horse country as soon as possible only by inviting instructors from the horse society or the trainer's association to learn new technologies. It has been a few years since the law was announced, but there is not much that can be done because the law is still not completed. I think the development of the horse industry will accelerate only when the unfinished law is completed as soon as possible instead of leaving it as it is.

Since we met each other, I have been connected to horses. One of my high school classmates, a friend whose wife's family runs a racehorse production ranch on Jeju Island, said one day that they were recruiting for a horse at Let's Run Park Pukyong. The friend said, "You are qualified, so register," so we met each other without knowing what it was.That's how I started my career, and in February this year, I majored in horse genetics in graduate school and earned my master's degree.

You can't run a trainer and a horse coach at the same time. The horses are currently being trained by the two men, but I believe that in the future, as in foreign countries, the two men will have to conduct basic tailoring and training at their own ranch or training center.Additionally, I believe that the master must be aware of the traits of his horse so that he can choose the right assistant and trainer. For instance, consider entrusting a master to a master who prefers good deeds and precocious horses. Even a famous horse will be treated as a foul horse. The difference in status between a master and a trainer is simply the difference
