The study of equine medicine by the Korean Horse Association is internationally recognized and provides a scientific basis for improving the safety and welfare of racehorses.

A study on the "Risk Factors of Korean Racehorses' Diseases in Heaven and Earth," jointly studied by veterinarian Choi Yoon-ki of the Korean Horse Association and Professor Tim Parkin of the University of Bristol, England, was published in the "Equine Veterinary Journal" (EVJ), the most prestigious academic journal in equine medicine.

The study statistically identified the risk factors for gun damage by analyzing large-scale data on racehorses trained at Let's Run Park Seoul from 2015 to 2019.

The study found that low-grade racehorses have a 2.8 times higher risk of injury, and it has been confirmed that the risk of injury increases even if there is less high-intensity training in the last 60 days or more than 90 days of recreation experience within a year.

An official from the Korea Racing Authority said, "This is a meaningful research result in order to secure scientific grounds for strengthening the safety of racehorses and horse welfare."
