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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

They said, "Since 2013, the Korean Horse Racing Association has changed 30 burn horse racing gambling halls to a designated seat system and raised admission fees significantly, but there are suspicions that the VAT has not been raised accordingly," adding, "The VAT indicated on the ticket before or after 2013 is the same as 182 won."
