Jung Young-sik of ‘Dangbae Bulpae’ and ‘Indie Band’, are well-known figures beyond just horse racing fans, having earned fame through outstanding performances and prize money. Interviews related to Ma-joon inevitably naturally focus on the popular Ma-joons.However, it is also true that the vast majority of owners, rather than making large profits through investment in racehorses, are maintaining the status quo or, despite their losses, becoming a sustainable driving force for the horse industry.

Hanonba Riding Club is a riding club that horses like more than people do. People might dislike it a little because it’s a bit far, but the horses feel comfortable. Even the irritable words from other places seem less stressful and more comforting once I’m here. It is a riding stable where you can quietly focus on exercise in a non-busy environment.I hope a great equestrian competition can be held soon and an environment where people can enjoy horseback riding is created.As he enters his mid-40s and must serve as the backbone of Korean equestrianism

Kim Hyung-chil was someone who always treated his juniors well, and many people liked that human side of him. I miss you a lot.The best and easiest way to learn horseback riding is to spend a lot of money. If you buy better and more expensive horses than others and get a great trainer attached, you can get there easily. However, that is not necessarily the only way to learn and practice horseback riding. Among athletes who are also famous abroad, there are very few who have succeeded because they are actually wealthy themselves.

The court pointed out in its judgment, “Although they claim that the establishment of the off-track sales office itself is illegal, they have only argued that opening the off-track sales office would infringe upon their environmental rights, housing rights, and right to learn, and have failed to provide any evidence to support the claim of legal defects.” It further ruled, “Protests in a peaceful manner are permitted, but occupying a building or a site exceeds freedom of expression.”It also stated in the decision that, considering the fact that the association has expressed its intention to continue the illegal acts even after the court’s “recommendation for settlement” in July, and that the association has suffered significant business losses as a result, the need for preservation is recognized.

Given the current situation, I also think we should ask the players’ association or something similar. It is regrettable that the association is being run without the players’ involvement.I have a lot of favorite players. Among them, I especially like Ian Miller from Canada and Nick Skelton from the UK. At the age of 60, Nick Skelton became the oldest gold medalist at the Rio Olympics. I also want to take good care of my health and continue my career as an athlete for a long time.Of course, I’ll attend. Even until the morning of the match day,

The behavior of the activist adults and the teachers of Seongsim Girls’ Middle and High School, who are trying to spread their own agenda by holding students hostage, is utterly disgraceful. I think the problem with the Yongsan off-track betting facility could serve as an opportunity to reflect on the path Korean horse racing has taken so far. In the end, focusing on sales, the failure to properly address the negative impact that off-track sales outlets have on local communities likely became the cause of this situation.As a Yongsan resident, I hope a smooth resolution can be found quickly," he said.One resident who opposed the previous opening said, “Who would want to live in an area swarming with gamblers because of a gambling hall?” He did not hesitate to make remarks that treated horse racing fans like lawbreakers.

There is a need to disclose transparently to the players what happens at the board meetings and the general assembly, but there is no sign of that at all. They only claim to be an association for athletes, but it is still a stage for the old powers’ political battles, busy trying to bring down the people above them. From the players’ perspective, it is an atmosphere that is not at all progressive. In the association’s situation, where it can no longer afford to decline, it is necessary to carefully consider whether it can use this opportunity to renew itself further and achieve progress.

On the other hand, it is also true that the implementation plan for the year was announced in advance, so everyone knew that Chuseok horse racing would be held.Everyone knows that Chuseok horse racing will be held, but as each side continues to hold its own parallel position, the turmoil surrounding the implementation of Chuseok horse racing does not seem likely to subside anytime soon.On August 18, the Parents’ Coalition for Reviving Public Education, the Citizens’ Coalition for Reviving Public Education, and the Yu Gwan-sun Mothers’ Association jointly issued a statement titled “Exposing the Delinquent Acts of the Korean Teachers and Education Workers Union, the Korean Confederation of Teachers’ Unions, the Korean Federation of Student Councils, and the Justice Party for Mocking the Rule of Law for Students” and raised the issue by saying, “The mobilization of students by the Korean Teachers and Education Workers Union is a bigger social problem than virtual horse racing.”

Like in all sports, there are also young dreamers who try to get screwed up by looking at athletes’ success stories. You can assume equestrianism is the same.I see it negatively. At this point, which company would sponsor equestrian sports. Even in a good atmosphere, it is difficult to receive support, and given that companies and entrepreneurs related to equestrianism have become the targets, it is doubtful whether they can make official investments. It would be wonderful if the chairman could use his abilities to find a good sponsor, but realistically, I think it might be difficult at this moment.

For now, it seems clear that this is indeed the crisis facing Korean equestrianism. The biggest problem is that there are no students to guide as a leader right now. Many players should emerge and progress together, but there are no new players emerging since the Choi Soon-sil scandal. For professional athletes, it is an issue directly tied to their livelihood. And since no one knows how long these repercussions will last, it feels even more frustrating and frightening.There is a need to create conditions that allow talented individuals to engage in horseback riding.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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,

The court’s ruling to grant the provisional injunction is being accepted as a matter of course. After the court in July had already notified both the Korea Racing Authority and the opposing party of a settlement recommendation ordering them to resolve the issue through mutual consultation, the Korea Racing Authority agreed to accept it, whereas the opposing party insisted on the closure unconditionally and filed an objection, so it was naturally the case that the injunction application was granted.A Korea Racing Authority official said, “In a country governed by the rule of law, the judicial body, the most credible institution, has made a reasonable decision,” adding, “In accordance with the court’s final ruling, we will do our utmost to ensure the pilot program is implemented as planned to promptly resolve the deepening conflict.”
