No matter how much sports is done with just underwear and shoes, it’s hard to progress without sponsorship. Right now, Samsung is supporting it at the level of running the association, not for major tournaments, but even that is something Samsung has to do. If Samsung doesn’t do it, our equestrian world will be in trouble.Whether it was Samsung and Hanwha, that group, contributing 1.5 billion won a year, or 1.6 billion won, or providing support for the association, whatever it was, there was something that benefited the players.

Most athletes begin training with the ambition of winning medals at the Olympics and the Asian Games. It’s not the idea of just riding horses and then going to college. Students who compete while attending university pursue the dream of definitely trying out for the next Asian Games selection trials, balancing schoolwork and sports.They provided support in every aspect, starting with training camps, while preparing for the Olympics. Because Samsung spent money and provided support for equestrian development to that extent

Please be careful when writing speculative articles. It comes across as a major disadvantage to the players. And I ask for accurate reporting.I hope that, because of Jung Yoo-ra alone, innocent athletes and athletes with special talents have not suffered any harm. Most of the students have been exercising since they were young, and even now, while attending school, they find time to work out. None of the athletic special talents do it like Jung Yura.Among the students I’m teaching right now,

he reason for regulating the gambling industry started from the logic that it should be regulated because the gambling addiction rate is higher than that of foreign countries, but it is not reasonable to apply the gambling prevalence rate as a standard for setting the total sales volume by industry due to conflicting opinions among Korean scholars," Kim said in the conclusion. "The disproportionate policy to increase the prevalence rate in the total sales policy is asymmetric, so the excessive regulation should be eased in terms of equity." In this research paper, Kim advised that the horse industry should seek self-rescue measures as the gambling industry market is being reorganized into Toto and Lottery due to excessive regulations by the audit committee, and that legal gambling industries should seek a win-win plan toward a common goal of expanding the legal market against illegal markets.

We decided to watch the press conference video, correct only the incorrect parts, and express our players’ side of the opinions. This is not a matter of fighting. In the evening, the executives gathered to compile and organize the points raised at the general meeting.At first, I thought about presenting it in the form of a statement, but then I felt it didn’t seem appropriate for the current situation. I was concerned that issuing a statement would give rise to another perspective and lead to controversy.

Eighty percent said something that was true. The equestrian world plunged into chaos because of one person, Choi Soon-sil. How good a story is to us that we demanded an apology from the president from the equestrian. And I fully understand the content of the press conference they gave about the harm they suffered because of Choi Soon-sil. From their perspective, it must be incredibly unfair that while they were watching the referee, Executive Director Park Won-oh came down and said something, and then they couldn’t watch the referee from the start.

The existence of the Let's Run Foundation itself is possible because of customers of horse racing. I thought that horse racing customers should come to the forefront in all fields. The Let's Run Foundation also wants to make it clear that the donation agent is the horse racing customer. Korean horse racing has undergone tremendous changes in a short period of time in terms of culture, and is still changing to a positive aspect. As the customer level has been upgraded, it is now necessary to inform horse racing customers as the subject who provides financial resources for social contribution projects, not gamblers. Since the Korean Horse Association, which is the parent company, is a public enterprise, the Let's Run Foundation's policy is set by the national government and the mission of the Korean Horse Association. However, the first horse racing in Korea was born to raise funds to encourage horse racing, and participants participated in horse racing to donate.

If Samsung immediately steps down as the chair company, how will the equestrian association be managed right away, and how will next year’s competition be conducted? It makes no sense to demand only Samsung’s resignation without any countermeasures. It is an act that does not consider our equestrian athletes and equestrians. What those people said at the press conference was not as the entire equestrian community, but as the victims. It means it’s not a story that integrates the opinions of every equestrian.

In Australian age, he has been riding a horse since the age of 16. In fact, I had never ridden a horse before, but my father was a jockey in Australia, so I was lucky to get a chance. I loved sports and had athleticism, so I was able to adapt quickly. Above all, riding a horse was so fun and happy. Then I became a job. Last season, I won the honor of winning the GI competition twice, including the South Australian Oaks. I think my hard work, thinking that it is the same whether it is a big competition or a small competition, resulted in good results. I don't feel nervous about big competitions or anything, and I try to keep calm. In Melbourne, I was in the top 10 of the multi-victory rankings.

I cannot agree at all with the part of the statement that tells Samsung and Hanwha to leave the equestrian world. I may not know of any other concrete way to deal with the Equestrian Federation or its executives, but I disagree with the way they are responding to this situation emotionally without any plan.It is the part that demanded the resignation of Samsung,

Secretary-General Kim, who dreams of a "better tomorrow with horses," is expressing his ambition that the Let's Run Foundation will play a big role in expanding practical social contribution projects to provide practical help to the socially vulnerable, rather than donations based on various tangible and intangible assets of the Korean Horse Association while faithfully keeping the purpose of the Let's Run Foundation, which marks its second anniversary, and also meets with Secretary-General Kim Hak-shin, who dreams of a "better tomorrow with horses."

The Let's Run Foundation, which celebrated its second anniversary on March 18, recruited Kim Hak-shin, former head of the Seoul Regional Headquarters, as the general secretary through a public offering at the end of February. Kim Hak-shin, a 59-year-old native of Suncheon, Jeollanam-do, graduated from the Department of Public Administration at Seoul City University and joined the Korean Horse Association in 1986. Since then, he has served as the head of major departments of the Korean Horse Association, including the head of the public relations team, the head of the horse racing cooperation team, the head of the Jeju business department, the head of the planning and coordination team, the head of the Busan and Gyeongnam regional headquarters, and the head of the Seoul regional headquarters, and retired at the retirement age in February this year. Secretary-General Kim was evaluated as an administrative expert with excellent practical experience and administrative ability when he was in office.

Just as I was about to enter society, I saw a job posting from the Korea Racing Authority hiring a female announcer. At the time, it was true that I only had a vague understanding of horse racing and had no knowledge whatsoever of what it was really like. I decided to take the test because I felt I had to find a job anywhere, and that’s how my connection with horses began.There were only a few female employees at the Korea Racing Authority, so you can imagine how bad it must have been at the massage parlor.

From that point on, I think I really worked hard on the ground, reporting with my feet. In that case, sometimes the scarcity of women can be helpful. Conversely, for those people, I was an unusual presence, and because I attracted a lot of attention, it seemed somewhat easier to request coverage or ask for cooperation. My basic disposition is that I tend to always want to be new rather than doing what I’ve always done. In fact, there are often many attempts made with good intentions, but they are frequently left unfinished.

At the Gold Coast stud auction held in Australia earlier this year, more than half of the staff who represented the stud were women. The female therapist at Baramul Stud, who was interviewed by this publication at the time, said,It is remarkable for us simply to think that women doing horseback riding is amazing. She added, “Whether a woman is strong or not is not a difference between women and men, but simply a difference in individual ability.” She also said,Australian women are strong and have mental toughness that is not inferior to men’s.

Moreover, during the Japanese colonial period, the rumor that “women born in the Year of the Horse are strong-willed” spread, and the gap only deepened as it was even exploited as a means to suppress women’s rights.On the other hand, in countries where the horse industry is widespread, horses are being raised just as we raise companion animals such as dogs and cats. There is no way there could be any distance between the words and the woman.Australia, known for its strong women’s rights, is a country where,

Please explain briefly.In Europe, the quota system ensures that each individual's agricultural activities are guaranteed. This is why cooperatives are being established by item, and the Federation of Cooperatives is working with the government. Using sweet potatoes as an example, each farmer is assigned a quota by dividing the area they are actually cultivating by the total production target the federation has set for this year, expressed as a percentage.

Not only shareholders who bought Harim’s shares, but also, as it becomes standardized, they gain advantages in related fields as well and come to dominate the industry. It has become easier to dominate the market.The government has recently begun reducing public enterprises. If the Korea Racing Authority becomes a private company, the Korean horse industry will be handed over to foreign hands in less than five years.All the more reason for Korean agriculture and the horse industry to come together as one.

When large corporations enter agriculture, farmers are reduced to mere laborers, and companies emerge as a massive power as “category killers.”In the past, the Philippines was wealthier than our country. But not now. Why. A specialized distribution network is needed to move agricultural products. There must be a warehouse, a special-purpose truck, and connections to retail companies such as supermarkets. Because large corporations have capital, they can enter the agricultural product distribution business.

Only then can the many competitions organized by each equestrian club naturally gradually expand to counties, provinces, and regions across the country, and gradually allow equestrianism to become both a form of entertainment and a sport.In addition, our country’s research associations should study and develop Korean language and culture.

Currently, in our country, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism each have different dedicated departments for the horse industry. When departments are divided, blind spots are bound to occur. For an industry to develop, it cannot do so without blind spots.To make equestrian competitions accessible to the general public, each equestrian club should take the lead in organizing them.

Even in our country, where FTAs have become fully underway, the income of cattle and pigs is now gradually declining. The government also encourages talking, but it is still in the early stage. At the sites such as riding arenas and ranches, management is still difficult and there are no sales channels. However, I believe its potential for development is limitless. For the horse industry to develop, it must focus on research and development. I also hope there will be a practical organization
