Athlete Hwang Sun-won said that he has recently felt even more acutely the crisis the equestrian world has faced since the Choi Soon-sil scandal. The number of student athletes, which used to be 20 to 30 each year, has been almost nonexistent since this year, and there is concern over how long this impact will last.They say celebrities have to have talent. An equestrian athlete, likewise, must have talent. People in our country are definitely people with talent. If you have the opportunity to ride or can learn, I recommend trying it as much as possible.

Even young children can tell whether someone is doing well or not by looking. But when there are several people who can’t all ride together, it’s hard to figure out who can ride well. Only at such times does the judgment of experts become necessary.Generally speaking, in obstacle courses, a horse that can jump high and well and run fast is naturally a good horse. In dressage, a horse with large movements and a posture that seems to dance is a good horse. A rider who is able to stay well balanced on horseback without much disturbance is a good rider.

My wife was an equestrian athlete for several years when she was a student. After driving very hard for several years, when I drove a D-Class, my wife drove an S-Class. I am not currently active as a player. My daughter is a senior in high school and is training as a dressage athlete at the Valios Equestrian Club.It really was for a very short period. There were a few at the dressage-specialized riding stable, and even showjumpers need to learn basic dressage. However, it is not a stock I personally like.In fact, judging which words are good and which players are good doesn’t require an expert-level eye.

Because it was a horse that made a major contribution to accumulating mileage by appearing in various European races. She was also registered as a reserve horse during the Olympics. Later, I came to Korea and was active.First of all, the fact that it rides on an animal much larger than a human, and that it can sense and respond to small human signals, seems both fascinating and its greatest appeal.I got started in the fourth grade of elementary school.I used to be really happy whenever someone mentioned horses on TV,

The wall of the world was too high, and compared to it, Korean equestrianism was far behind. And originally, equestrian competitions weren’t about the riders being in good condition and doing well, so the horses’ condition had to match as well, which made Olympic participation feel like a distant dream. Perhaps it seems that our earnest hopes and efforts overlapped and led us to obtain the ticket.I was nine years old when I first met “ssipap.” The horse breed was Holstein, and it was a large, sturdy-looking horse.

Let’s Run CCC Yongsan is a project in which the Korea Racing Authority invested 120 billion won to build a building and attempted to relocate and open it through legal procedures, in accordance with its three-year plan to innovate off-track betting facilities. However, due to strong opposition from some residents and civic groups, it was unable to open last year, suffering huge losses, and after years of consecutive failures in the off-track betting business, it was forced into a last-ditch stronghold from which it could no longer retreat, putting the Korea Racing Authority’s very foundation at risk if the Yongsan off-track betting center were to close.

Despite his size, he’s so timid about very trivial things that there’s a mat or something laid out on the floorWhenever it felt even a little off, I was scared. Once he started getting scared, even dragging him around became difficult. However, for an ordinary Holsteiner, his personality was gentle. And only to people, too. It was very aggressive toward other horses, especially mares. He’s the kind of horse that, just by running past on flat ground and meeting its rider, lifts its front hooves and throws it. He was very kind to people, but very prickly toward horses.

However, the opposition committee is firmly opposing the pilot operation, calling it nothing more than a “trick” to change the political narrative, and arguing that the Korea Racing Authority is seriously infringing on educational conditions and living environments under the guise of formal legality, stating that they will not engage in any dialogue until the Yongsan off-track betting center is closed first.The issue of the Let’s Run CCC Yongsan became a nationwide issue because the civic groups leading the opposition side have been constantly trying to turn it into a political issue, and at the same time, opposition politicians have echoed their voices without showing any real will to address the core of the problem, prioritizing their own interests instead, thereby escalating the issue.

We met with Hwang Soon-won, who is currently thriving as both an equestrian athlete and coach, and put together the pressing issues facing the equestrian world he has encountered, along with the story of his journey in equestrianism.First of all, even getting a ticket to the Olympics itself was a difficult task, but the process of going to the competition to win a ticket to the Olympics was not easy either. It wasn’t because they had to perform well in a few races, but because they had to consistently deliver solid results in multiple Grand Prix events.

Of course, there was also a "shade." The decision to close the Yongsan Cultural Sympathy Center drew concerns from the horse industry, and the consecutive suicides of caretakers and senior staff were bewildering because they were not directly related. Recently, opposition from related organizations has begun over the operation of a consultative body for the direct employment of horse caretakers.At this year’s audit, when asked, “Do you intend to serve the full three-year term?” he replied, “If my term is guaranteed, I will do my best within my term.

During the week, we immediately visited Japan and Dubai to tour advanced horse industry sites and the Dubai World Cup.Efforts to improve the image of the horse industry and diversify public relations also bore fruit. He reopened communication with the previously disconnected press corps covering specialized publications, completely revamped the website, and even served as an ambassador for the horse industry by directly contributing horse-related columns to local media. Recently, they also launched their own news platform.

Lee Yang-ho, from Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province, was inaugurated as the 35th president of the Korea Racing Authority on December 19 last year. After entering public service through the 26th Administrative Examination, he held key positions across the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, including Director of Planning and Coordination, and served as the 25th head of the Rural Development Administration.After taking on the role of chairman of the Korea Racing Authority, the head of the horse industry,

After the court issued a ruling upholding the injunction request to prohibit business interference, the opposition committee stated, “The targets we intend to criticize through the rally are not the customers of the Korea Racing Authority site who pushed ahead with operations without consulting the residents.” They added, “We will continue the rally demanding the withdrawal of the store’s opening as long as it does not interfere with the Korea Racing Authority’s business.”Meanwhile, the Korea Racing Authority has formed a roughly 10-member “Pilot Operation Evaluation Committee,” composed mainly of neutral and reputable individuals, and has requested approval from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to conduct an objective and rational evaluation of the pilot operation of the Yongsan branch.

Both the trainer and the horse caretaker may have complaints, but I hope they make an effort to compromise with each other and work step by step over time to improve things.Rooju Young, who wants to be remembered as a model example of a manager, hopes that something good will happen next year, his sixth year since debut. When they first came face to face, for the first five years they were in the position of learning rather than making a profit. During the two to three years when he, as he said, didn’t know much about horses,

Also, the bosses probably have complaints too. I think it would also be necessary for the implementing agency to actively take these points into account, review them, and provide feedback.Every time people ask, I say I have never seen a loss in a single year. I actually think that too. If I have still held 5 billion assets after investing 5 billion, then I have not yet suffered a loss. And wouldn’t it help the development of Korean horse racing, even if only a little, if there were people like me. I also enjoy horse racing and like it.

Champ Line competing in the Korea Cup, working in sync with jockey Guillaume Bé.It’s a personal wish, but I feel like doing something starting next year. I think something will happen next year.Korea will also show signs of gradually developing in the future. Of course, it doesn’t happen overnight. Although it has made remarkable progress compared to the past, the domestic horse racing industry is still at a developing country level. There are areas that need gradual improvement over time, and the improvement of the Ma-ju’s environment is one of them.

You need to change the mindset of thinking you can make a profit by investing a short amount of time and look at it from a long-term perspective.Among the horses currently in the race, 'Champ Line” looks promising. I’m planning to compete in this year’s Grand Prix as well, and that’s a really good thing to say. And among the last two generations, there are some very good horses.Representatively, they are “Younghee’s Era” and “Gyeongju’s Durebak.” I’m really looking forward to it and hope for good results, in other words.It may sound presumptuous,

As a fan who usually enjoys horse racing, I could only see the problem of portraying horse racing fans as gamblers and potential criminals as something serious. I think labeling horse racing fans as criminals is an even bigger crime and an abuse of power by a pressure group.Horse racing is an important industry that the state should promote. It should not be understood merely as betting, nor should the petty behavior of a tiny minority of fans be blown out of proportion. It is only partly that the deep-rooted evils of some horse racing fans had an impact. It became clear that some citizens and politicians obsessed with popularity politics hold a distorted view of horse racing and the horse racing industry in our country, and I felt that this must be corrected.

Many investors who have invested themselves tend to wait for a certain period and observe before acting, rather than trying to make a profit immediately. Those kinds of accidents were wrong. A lot of improvement is needed.The development of the people ultimately means that, along with the growth of the nation, the Korea Racing Authority will also grow, and Korean horse racing will become an advanced race in the G1 and G2 categories. Then the owners will naturally improve as well, and the trainers

No matter which advanced horse racing country you look at around the world, there is no place that employs people directly. The very idea that global trends and tendencies still demand direct employment is a mistaken notion. It would rather be a regression, moving backward rather than the development of horse racing. Rather than hiring directly, I think efforts are needed to refer to the institutional system currently in place at LetsRun Park Seoul and work on improving its shortcomings.Their position is that, rather than roles,

Whether it’s the trainers or the horse handlers, they should come together and come up with the best plan, so I can’t understand why it has escalated to a strike. Everyone failed to engage sincerely in the negotiations for their own benefit. Instead of blaming only someone, everything is at fault. The Korea Racing Authority, the trainers, and the horse caretakers are all at fault. We must never go on strike. For the development of horse racing, everyone must make some concessions, come up with good proposals,and work together to resolve the problem as soon as possible.

test008

If they end up interfering too much, it could lead to situations where each other’s pride is hurt, and mutual trust cannot be built at all. So I tend not to interfere at all. However, there is one thing that could be considered interference: the part where the horse is fed. Whether it’s good advice or bad, I believe that if you eat well, you’ll run well, so whenever I go to the stable, that’s all I talk about. Leave everything else entirely to the trainers. The choice of which rider to put on and how to train them are all left to the trainers.

First of all, above all, I studied the bloodline of horses extensively, and I also changed the way I selected horses. I’ve thoroughly researched which high-quality bloodlines of horses are available at domestic farms, and at least consult 2 to 3 trainers to use their advice when purchasing horses. In the past, I often bought horses based only on one trainer’s opinion, but this time I bought horses that were recommended repeatedly by several trainers, and the results seemed good as well. It’s essentially their own know-how, gained after paying high exam fees for two to three years.
