For example, in Japan, when the assistant teacher orders, "Today's training is 16 seconds," the track riders must come in accordingly, not too fast than 16 seconds. It certainly follows the instructions of the assistant. Just by recording it, you can take a step forward in making a good assistant. It is an atmosphere in which horse racing officials are trying to make a strong horse. It is important to try various ways to make a strong horse. Even when introducing exercise physiology, it is important to try different teaching methods if you do not fit yourself and the racehorse. The most important thing is to create an atmosphere in which you can try and try from various angles.

It also plans to create conditions for the horse industry to continue to grow through the influx of people who experience horseback riding in connection with the tourism industry. In particular, if the national budget is fully supported in relation to the designation of a special horse industry zone from next year, more solid production infrastructure and various horse industry infrastructure are expected to be established in the Icheon area.Mayor Cho Byung-don said, "We are currently raising 460 horses from 34 farms in Icheon, and there are four horse-riding grounds and one horse hospital," adding, "With Hwaseong and Yongin City, which were designated as horse industry No. 3, we will grow into a mecca for the mammoth horse industry, with 6,000 horses, 100 horse-riding courses and 50,000 horse-riding experiences within the next five years. We will strive to be a great boost to the local economy through the establishment of horse industry infrastructure."

If you look at the video clip of the Grand Prix, "Mihonobru Bon" started off as a good deed and went straight to the finish line. Horses that jump out just need to build endurance. This is true or not. Strong horses have never had a small heart. When the size of hearts was measured later, strong horses' hearts were all big. When the heart is big, it definitely has a good cardiopulmonary function. Usually, the weight of a Thoroughbred heart accounts for 1 percent of its weight, weighing about 5 kilograms. The TM Opera, one of Japan's strongest horses, weighed about 7 kilograms after weighing the heart. It is important how much the heart weighs compared to its weight.

Just like we do running competitions, children who are good at sports quickly breathe back to normal when they finish running, but those who are not good at sports are very overwhelmed. The same goes for racehorses. Running uphill helps improve cardiopulmonary functions, allowing you to breathe stably. Going up on the hind legs greatly reduces the risk of injury. You can also correct your posture. When racehorses try to run with their heads up, but they teach on the hillside, they naturally lower their heads. Also, the hillside is very important, enabling interval training. Thank you for telling me a lot about the importance of hillside. I plan to introduce hillside in Pukyong in the future.

During his visit, Hiraga Ranch talked about the importance of hill-based techniques. He said that using hill-based techniques improves cardiopulmonary functions, enables interval training, and significantly reduces the risk of injury. Martha said that during the visit, they were able to learn about specific and scientific training methods. It can be an opportunity to pay attention to the meaning of training and what changes are made by teaching racehorses. Introducing exercise physiology does not immediately improve a racehorseshoe. However, if you study sports physiology, you can shed more doubt and focus on making stronger horses because it can provide scientific evidence on why you are conducting such training.

Meanwhile, horse racing officials point out that the People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy raised the issue that "the horserace prohibits credit card payments for horserace purchases and treats them only with cash, which is contrary to the government's policy and is an impure intention to undermine the horserace society."In addition, the government legally regulates the use of credit cards at ATM devices at racetracks or over-the-counter sales centers as well as small purchases due to the sound policy of horse racing, and contrary to the government's policy, the need to make credit card payments is a far-fetched claim that does not take government policy into account.

Even if it was a bit overwhelming in the beginning, he told me to take the lead. I was very nervous as I seemed to be overtaken with 100 meters to go before the finish line. However, I think I was able to withstand it because I had a strong will to not lose if a horse was next to me. In fact, my condition was not my best today. Lee Chan-ho is the right flag bearer for Changse. He has a habit of leaning inward after the fourth corner, and since Lee Chan-ho is a left-handed rider, he was able to cover his weaknesses well. Changse is still very young at three years old. Whether he will participate in the Jeju Special Provincial Governor's Cup will be decided by considering the horse's condition comprehensively. Since he is still young, I will not overdo it until this year.

He also called for a strict investigation by the tax authorities, saying, "The Korean Horse Racing Authority is explaining that it is paying VAT on facility usage fees in addition to VAT equivalent to 2,000 won in admission fees, but it is still doubtful whether it is actually paying appropriate VAT." He also called for a strict investigation, saying that since the Korean Horse Racing Authority prohibits credit card payments for ticket purchases and treats all ticket sales worth more than 7.6 trillion won in cash, there are concerns about income evasion or tax evasion. Regarding the allegations raised by the People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy, the Korean Horse Racing Authority explained in a press release, "The Korean Horse Racing Authority is faithfully paying VAT on admission and usage fees."

Although I participated with the goal of winning the championship, I was worried that it would not be an easy race because there were many strong opponents ahead of the competition. I would like to thank all the horse racing players, including Teacher Park Jae-woo, who had a hard time winning the championship under difficult conditions. Teacher Park recommended me to meet 'Changse', and when I went to meet him at the ranch, I was very happy to see 'Changse' lead the way at the front of the group. I extended two fingers at the awards ceremony, and one thumb was raised at the Sports Seoul Cup. Personal greed allows you to spread out all five fingers.

Choi Bong-sik, secretary-general of the Pukyeong Horse Association, said, "The purpose of the research investigation was out of the essence from the beginning. First, a reasonable setting method must be established. It seems that the research service was conducted only with a sales-linked method."Ha Jong-soo, secretary-general of the Seoul Association of Teachers, said, "What we will do with the results is more important than the results. I feel anxious because we have long been subject to government guidelines that do not give generous amount of money. In line with reality, labor costs should take into account related emotions and history. I hope we won't find uncomfortable or ugly things when we talk to each other in the future." Choi Ki-ho, general director of the Jeju Association of Teachers, said, "Regardless of sales, Jeju horse racing officials lacked the cost of their efforts as they kept the same rate of increase according to government guidelines. Please reflect the demand more."

Consistent arguments from the Park Geun Hye government are needed to lead to sustainable development," he diagnosed the situation of Korean agriculture.Recently, Minister Lee Dong-pil has made efforts to resign from his post with a clear tie. On the 31st, he had a breakfast meeting with the publishers of specialized newspapers, and on the 16th, he wrote his personal impressions on his SNS account. "I made efforts to check and check 'like digging a groove in salty rice' for the role I pledged to do when I took office as the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs of the Republic of Korea.

Minister Lee Dong-pil was appointed in March 2013 and has served as the minister thus far. "It has been three and a half years. There have been various incidents such as rice tariffication, Korea-China FTA, supply and demand instability, and foot-and-mouth disease," Minister Lee said in the meeting. "As a researcher and a scholar-turned-minister, I would like to point out that my biggest achievement is the reorganization of basic statistics. We have established an epidemiological investigation system, including foot-and-mouth disease, so that it can take about three hours to complete what would take a week before," he said.

There will be an absolutely large number of horseback riding populations in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, but what guarantee is there that only people from Seoul and Gyeonggi Province will ride well? Isn't the purpose of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry's horseback riding support project to expand the base of the horseback riding population and discover excellent horse riding talents? It is better to choose the first place from 50 million people than to choose the first place from 20 million people. I plan to go beyond the best in Chungbuk and make it the best horse riding team in Korea. It is true that there has been a lack of support from local governments such as North Chungcheong Province and Cheongju City, but I hope that this foundation will give more interest.

In addition, three improvement models were proposed on the premise of establishing improvement measures related to accident and accident insurance. In the course of the research service, each related organization expressed the need to set up prize money in consideration of the purchase and management costs of excess racehorses and to compensate for the increase in the purchase cost of racehorses by expanding the amount of prize money. Individually, the rate of increase or decrease in the purchase cost of racehorses was reflected as a prize money setting factor, the need to set the appropriate number of heads, the application of differential prize rates by region, the analysis of costs in other sectors other than horse racing prize money, the need to preserve a certain amount of prize money, the government's labor cost guidelines, and the limited application of jockey prize money.

Since the Seoul and Gyeonggi areas have a large number of horseback riding populations, I admit that they receive more support than other regions. However, isn't the province Korea? I think at least 1/n should be allocated. I personally visited the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and asked for support from local regions including Chungbuk, saying that the horse riding support project is for the entire people. I am a reasonable person. I don't use force or force. If it doesn't fit, I won't do it, and if it fits, I'll do it, but I thank you for listening to me. I think there is a need to create a boom in horse riding by expanding horse riding support nationwide, not limited to some regions.

We will actively support many of the concerns and opinions we shared here today so that they can appear as practical and tangible results, he said. "Please spare no support for the horse industry development of Jangheung-gun."On the other hand, the Korean Horse Association said it will establish a private veterinarian registration system for each base and provide clinical training on horses for large animal veterinarians to promote emergency medical treatment and expand the establishment of a breeding support center for horseback riders. This year, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs confirmed that there is one horse industry special zone in Gyeongsangbuk-do (Gumi, Yeongcheon, Sangju, Gunwi, and Ui-seong) and one horse industry in Gyeonggi-do (Yongin, Hwaseong, Icheon) respectively, which began fostering the horse industry in the inland area.

Unless the other person is a fool, you can tell if he or she has his or her own feelings. I say everything I have to say anywhere in the central government or local government. Not because of this, but because of this, I can confidently say that it is wrong. These are words that only one person can honestly say. A selfless person should be the head of the organization. That way, we can go beyond the development of the horse industry to advanced countries. It is not only in the horse industry but also in all fields. Efforts to communicate are also needed. Even though they cannot represent the opinions of all members, limited people are arguing among themselves.

Of course, there are some instructors who are not basic. I have experienced many such instructors. It taught me for a long time and often disappeared without saying anything when I wanted to use it. As an operator, I had no countermeasures. Still, I endured well without playing tricks. A true wife and son married our son and became a daughter-in-law. Since the family ran the horse riding course together, the horse riding business has been more stable since then. I won't just ride a horse today and tomorrow. Even if I lose money today, I think tomorrow will be a plus and I need to operate the horse riding course based on the standard of the rider.

Let's not talk about horses, I am a person who started without knowing the winner of horse riding. I have been in the livestock industry for a long time and made my first son lean meat. Then, an FTA was concluded with the United States. Now, I thought I could not even do a meat-eating business. I asked my son, who was in a meat-eating business, if he wanted to run a horse-riding business. The son also said he would try to see if he thought the horse-riding business had a vision rather than a meat-eating business. Then, he asked me to get a horse-riding instructor's license. That's how after my son obtained his horse-riding instructor's license, I started the horse-riding business in earnest in 2007.
