Only then can the quality of Korean horse racing improve. Some senior advisors say that prices should be tied again, but that is wrong. Then we go back to the old days again. The reason domestic horses don’t perform well against foreign horses such as Japanese and Singaporean horses is that, due to the price restrictions, fewer quality horses have entered the market. Although the Korea Racing Authority has brought in and is supporting several good stallions, they cannot beat horses bought from abroad.

You must not think that your prize money will be taken away. Through integration, Seoul owners could also list horses in Busan and entrust them to well-managed trainers, potentially winning races held in Busan, and Busan owners could list horses in Seoul and claim victories in races held in Seoul. Isn’t it contradictory that our country’s central horse racing is in Seoul and its results don’t match those of Busan. There are only a few racetracks in the country, so they should be merged.

At the time, the Ministry of Government Legislation judged that there was a legal basis for online betting in Sports Toto, whereas it pointed out a lack of legal grounds for online betting in the horse racing industry. Based on this, the Supervisory Committee pressured the horse racing industry to abolish online betting.The problem is the lack of a legal basis. Therefore, as long as the legal basis is established, it does not seem that there will be much difficulty in reintroducing online betting.An official from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs said, "The revival of the online betting system has long been recognized as necessary." Through online betting, we can change the negative image of the once crowded downtown off-track betting centers.

The government, which is promoting public sector reform through the normalization of public institutions as a core task of the three-year economic innovation plan, has decided to pursue functional reallocation, strengthening of core functions, and expanded private sector participation in 87 public institutions across three major sectors: social overhead capital (SOC), agriculture, forestry and fisheries, and culture and arts.The operations of 52 institutions were to be coordinated, and among them, 4 institutions were to be abolished.The Ministry of Economy and Finance stated that this functional adjustment was prepared through consultations with experts, policy forums, and feedback from related ministries, and that it aims to channel the personnel and resources secured through consolidating similar and overlapping functions, abolishing or downsizing areas where direct execution by the public sector is unnecessary, and reducing excessive support organizations to strengthening core functions.

At the time, the Korea Racing Authority felt somewhat uncomfortable about the establishment of the Korea Owners’ Association, so cooperation was not very strong, but thanks to the tireless efforts of the founding president, it was barely made, and because of that, I was able to become its seventh president. The past presidents did a good job, but I believe what I need to do going forward is to unify the Busan and Seoul counterpart associations.Above all, the integration of the Majoo region is the top priority.

Wouldn’t it be better to have the person facing each other run from two places rather than having them buy horses and race only at one racetrack. Horses with somewhat less speed but good endurance are more likely to succeed in Busan than in Seoul, whereas horses with better speed than endurance are more likely to succeed in Seoul than in Busan. If you only have one chance to spend a lot of money to buy a horse, it is such a waste and a loss. Make people who can’t speak in Busan run in Seoul,

Although it may seem delayed, the revival of online betting appears to be something that must be restored in order to legitimize the underground economy and help the horse racing industry overcome its crisis.A horse racing fan who was blocked from entering the Yongsan branch on the 7th said, “I don’t understand why they are making innocent horse racing fans suffer just to support their own claims.” Are they the only people? I am a citizen too. And the Korea Racing Authority should also make sure there are no inconveniences for horse racing fans if they are to serve them," he vented in frustration. In particular, the protesters on the opposite side drew frow-worthy attention by even blocking the elderly people who use the cultural center from entering.

The horses that Korean athletes are riding are more expensive and of a higher level than those of Japan. I understand that the price of horses used by Korean athletes participating in various competitions, such as the Asian Games, is more than double that of Japanese athletes’ horses. In Korea, the horses used by the athletes vary in price, and the athletes also go to the United States or Europe to receive individual training. However, most Japanese athletes are active within Japan, and they compete while working at riding clubs with just a horse.

For now, in the comprehensive magic, the same performer is scheduled to change horses, ride, and compete. One player has several horses, and here we expect a gold medal.The group of athletes competing in the apparatus events is only at the second-tier level of the national team participating in the World Equestrian Championships, so I think winning a medal will be difficult. Since Korea and the Middle East will bring good words and do their best, I think it will be difficult for Japan to win a gold medal.

I didn’t specify one particular horse, and it seems that all the horses that participated in today’s training will improve. In the training group that focused mainly on Jomasak, the horse that first showed sluggish movement became more active in the afternoon, and the horse that had originally been active showed stable movement, so everything went in a good direction. The group that had been dominating was unstable when it came to rein it in, but after training, it rode steadily. For a first day, the training went well.

First of all, there is no such educational material. Various horse experts each have different know-how, and they are taming and training them in their own ways. I think there isn’t a separate right answer when it comes to education. Since everyone has different speaking styles, a one-size-fits-all manual is meaningless. For example, while some horses are insensitive to response, there are sensitive ones, and if some horses naturally have their heads positioned higher, there are also some with them positioned lower. I don’t think there’s a right answer,

However, to transition to horseback riding, there is a strong need to change to a slower, more stable rhythm, and improving balance is also important in training.There isn’t much difference, but the key goal of Jomasak training is for the horses to find stability and become calmer. The goal of Jomasak is to ensure that horses are not afraid of people standing in the center, and it is important to build trust between horses and people. Rushing out in a hurry is the worst form, and maintaining a steady pace with a stable rhythm is the best form.

Of course, it was not that there had been no domestic horse-riding and training techniques for using retired racehorses as riding horses. Until the mid-1990s, they bred and trained The Dirty Blood, which had mainly been used as racehorses at racetracks, on their own and used it as riding horses. However, in the mid-1990s, when the European Warmblood began to be introduced in earnest in Korea, the taming and training techniques for retired racehorses naturally disappeared.

As they are called the young blood of the horse industry, they will do it with passion.Choi Tae-hoon, head of the Yongin Pony Club, expressed his ambition to open a chain store bearing the name of his equestrian club. He said that there were many difficult and challenging hurdles in the process of growing the pony business from just three horses to 23 within a few years. However, by working hard on his own and overcoming difficulties, he has now earned stable income, including receiving certification for the 6th industry.

At the preliminary market, the trainer said that if we just let the horses run as they go, they could definitely achieve good results. I think the good result came from developing the game with the fast-starting “Fly Top Queen” and “Joy Lucky” in mind. The horse was in good condition from the start, and from Tuesday we began serious training and worked out our rhythm. I’m very happy to have won, and even while I’m active in Japan, if there’s a race in Korea in the future, I’d like to come often and say hello.At the end of last year, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs completed a commissioned study titled “Measures to Revitalize Off-Track Betting Venues,” which included 15 key tasks for revitalizing off-track betting venues, including an online betting system.

When I burned a lot, I even earned 500,000 won, and yet I said I was happy. What started that way has now been recognized for its effort, receiving certification as a sixth-sector industry, and with government support, it is becoming more stable.My wife had no connection to words. We met through an introduction, and by going on dates and hanging out together, my wife naturally became familiar with the language as well. I bought three horses, and the two of us went out together and went on a lot of dates, and that’s how it ended up coming to this point.

They also stated that, in addition to the 500 million won already spent since 2013 on scholarships for the Yongsan area and regional development funds, they plan to provide an additional total of 3 billion won in donations, prioritizing the hiring of about 100 race officials—including those responsible for sales, security, order, and beautification—from local residents.With the operation of the Culture Sympathy Center and regional coexistence projects, LetsRun CCC Yongsan is establishing a new model for off-track betting centers nationwide, and whether it will operate normally is expected to become a turning point starting this weekend and over the next two to three weeks.The Korea Racing Authority is expected to downsize.

Popularizing horseback riding is the top priority. If horseback riding becomes widely familiar to the public, many people will visit riding clubs, and that directly translates into the clubs’ income. Structural changes are needed so that horseback riding can be easily disseminated. In addition, customer service seems important. In any field, it is difficult to succeed without improving customer service.In addition, the equestrian center also needs to make an effort to find a breakthrough on its own.

Most riding arenas receive support related to student riding. I’ve even heard that if this support is cut off, most equestrian centers will go under. Support cannot continue indefinitely, and equestrian operators themselves must build their own strength. If support continues, I won’t make an effort. Our equestrian center doesn’t even receive support for student riding, but it is running fairly well on its own. It’s thanks to working hard on my feet. What I felt on site was that if you work hard, this is a field with plenty of potential.

Among them are some that are crossbred between Warmblood and Hanlama, as well as Shuttlelands, Miniatures, and others.Ponies are usually bred and then sold in many places like experience farms. The one we bred from Hallamarang and Warmblood is so good that we’re not selling it and are using it ourselves right now. It’s a very good thing, so I have no intention of selling. Halla horses are being sold in large numbers at the riding stable.

Since I was a child, my father ran a farm raising livestock such as deer, pigs, and goats, so I had no hesitation in raising animals, and horseback riding, which I learned as an elective in college, became my connection. Seeing that I learned horseback riding as quickly as the other kids, the riding instructor even praised me. And by the time I was riding for the third time, the instructor even said, “Would you consider helping me work at the riding stable?”While preparing for the university graduation presentation,

For now, I’m getting a lot of inquiries about the program from nearby kindergartens and schools. The first time regular customers visited our equestrian club, they were very satisfied with the program and spread a lot of word-of-mouth about it. As word spread among parents, inquiries came in one after another, and when demand for the horseback riding program grew to a certain scale, kindergartens and schools would also follow up with group inquiries.
