Combined with local farm restaurants and lodging facilities, it also plays a major role in attracting visitors to the region. The refreshing valley campground surrounded by nature and the outdoor picnic platforms where you can enjoy Pia-gol’s cuisine are said to be perfect for a summer vacation. In addition, it offers a variety of experiential programs and lodging facilities, including janghak school, kimchi making, maple leaf tea picking, and tea ceremony education.As a result, sales rose from 300 million won in 2013 to 500 million won in 2016,

First of all, I regret the recent horse trainer incident that occurred at LetsRun Park Busan-Gyeongnam. The working hours of speech therapists abroad are also very similar to those in Korea. However, in that they receive a portion of the prize money they win, the treatment of Korean horse handlers is relatively good. Although some European countries, such as Ireland, have regulations requiring a portion of the prize money to be paid, when comparing treatment, Korea is relatively better.“Champ Line” didn’t run in the last race meet,

Because of that influence, he grew up in an environment familiar with horses from an early age.In most foreign countries, gambling—predicting race outcomes through betting—is also enjoyed as a form of leisure. It is also common to see people who visit the racetrack on weekends as a family outing casually placing bets.At present, it seems that the Korea Racing Authority is doing a good job in strengthening competitiveness. For example, they are doing well things like hosting international competitions such as the “Korea Cup” in Korea,

My grandfather and father worked as trainers in Ireland, and other family members also have horse-related jobs such as trainers and jockeys. I actually started my life as a trainer when I debuted in Malaysia in 2010, but it has been quite a long time since I formed a bond with horses and lived with them.Korean horse racing is currently showing signs of significant development. Even compared to three years ago, horses’ abilities, trainers’ training techniques, and jockeys’ riding skills have advanced considerably.

Europe and Malaysia, besides the sand main course, there are many races held on the turf main course as well. South Korea still does not have a grass main road. If that is the difference, then that is the difference.There are also some slight differences in the Gyeongju style. In Korea, there are many attempts to take the lead early in the race. If possible, I try to stand at the front. However, in Europe, there are various styles rather than just front-runners, such as closers who surge from the back and free-running horses.

Illegal private horse racing has been rapidly spreading through the internet since 2005, and research has shown that the market size for illegal private horse racing reached a record high of 22.37 trillion won in 2009, then showed an upward trend again to 8.7 trillion won in 2010 and 9.77 trillion won in 2011.Dr. Park Kyung-rae also argued that the current contraction in the horse racing market is due to the fact that it operates only offline, so ignoring the introduction of a real-time horse racing system using the internet or mobile devices makes it difficult to expect any further influx of new customers, and he argued that regulatory policies for the horse racing industry need to be reconsidered from the ground up.

Three years may seem long or short, but during that time, having seen, heard, and experienced it firsthand on the front lines of Korean horse racing, I believe I have gained a thorough understanding of it.In addition, his ranking among the top trainers affiliated with LetsRun Park Pukyong shows that he is already very familiar with Korean horse racing. Now, beyond being just a foreign-born trainer, he is also a member of the team making new history in Korean horse racing, and he appeared to have a deep affection for Korean horse racing.

It also highlighted the need to amend the Korea Racing Authority Act to establish a legal basis for overcoming the management crisis, including the decline in horse racing revenue, and to fulfill its role as the dedicated institution for the horse industry. The revisions include expanding the scope of the project, establishing grounds for online betting to comply with the full real-name system and purchase limits, and strengthening penalties for misconduct in horse racing.Meanwhile, to enhance the horse industry’s role in fostering growth, it was proposed to shift the policy direction from being regulation-focused to promoting sound development, and to pursue regulatory easing at the level of competitive industries so that the competitiveness of horse racing can be strengthened as a foundation for the horse industry’s growth.

We ask for your active interest and participation.Based on the already planned Saemangeum Horse Industry Complex, we look forward to the active cooperation and support of related agencies and the government in reflecting the association’s Saemangeum Racehorse Joint Production and Development Complex—a national project—into the national agenda, so that we can drastically reduce operating costs and produce and develop high-quality racehorses, thereby promoting the sustainable development of racehorse breeding farms and Korean horse racing.

Although there is some support from the Korea Racing Authority, the current auction market, which focuses mainly on two-year-olds and has producers cover most of the costs of early and late-stage breeding, is increasing the burden on producers. If conditions are created in the future so that the association takes the lead in nurturing the later generation, active support is needed.Ideally, to restructure the auction market to focus on first-generation horses, as in advanced countries, various support measures and systems should also be put in place.

With the liberalization of imported foreign horses, the owners’ purchasing power for domestic horses has declined, and the auction market is still facing a downturn.

Gathering businesspeople for programs and events is several times more effective than targeting the general public. If these people become passionate about equestrianism, they could also contribute to the development of equestrianism through sponsorship. The grassroots equestrian competitions being promoted by the Korea Racing Authority also have a good purpose, so if they attract businesspeople, sponsorships for promoting their own companies could naturally follow.Also, even just offering training, study tours, and programs for businesspeople

Every semester, I do a two-week trial riding program at the Korea Racing Authority Equestrian Academy. Even gathering company CEOs and opinion leaders who can fully serve as the vanguard for promoting equestrianism, the Korea Racing Authority does not seem interested. That's really something I can't understand. Regardless of funding support, even offering just in-depth programs or special lectures to these people would attract many equestrian culture CEO alumni and produce great results.Support should also provide full support and backing.

If I were to say I’m at a semi-professional level, I’d be embarrassed. As a supervising professor, I was constantly on the ground to ensure that students could take riding classes safely and properly, so I gradually internalized it through my own experience.Just as business leaders contributed to promoting golf, they need to take the lead in revitalizing the culture of equestrian consumption. The students of the equestrian culture CEO course were made up of such opinion leaders, but it is regrettable that the horse industry shows no interest at all.

As mentioned earlier, do not speak negatively of other riding clubs, and instead find your own unique characteristics to give your club its own distinct identity. In the mobile age, where consumers choose everything in the palm of their hand, simply saying that we are the best equestrian center means nothing to them. What matters more is how much service is provided with the consumer at the center. Since you can’t do everything, you need to find something specialized. It would be good to make use of the natural environment of one’s own region
