The Korea Racing Authority successfully concluded the "2026 Retired Gyeongju Horse Appraisal and Equestrian Competition Finals," held at Seoul Race Park from the 2nd to the 4th.

A total of 75 retired Gyeongju horses, who had passed through two preliminary rounds in April and July, participated in this final. The competing horses showcased their transformation from Gyeongju horses into riding horses across various events, including the appraisal, beginner riding, dressage, and show jumping.

In the dressage category, "Delphini" was selected as the top dressage horse of the year after placing first in the C and D classes and second in the F class. In the appraisal category, "Idanaeun," owned by Cho Jae-yoon and retired in June 2025, won the championship. In the beginner riding category, "Bride Docking Star," which was retired this April and is currently being trained at Korea Equestrian Vocational High School, took first place. In the show jumping category, "Must Man," owned by Oh Jung-mok, claimed victory.

Woo Hui-jong (Chairman) of the Korea Racing Authority stated, "This event provided an opportunity to reaffirm the results of our ongoing efforts to support the safe retirement of Gyeongju horses and their transition into riding horses through the appraisal and equestrian competition."
