The opposition committee also argued that Prime Minister Chung should immediately hold the two organizations accountable and withdraw the relocation of the Yongsan over-the-counter sales office. Meanwhile, as a pilot operation evaluation committee for Yongsan over-the-counter sales office was formed, Mal Industry officials have raised the argument that actual normal operation should be guaranteed in order to conduct an accurate and fair evaluation. With the current pilot operation limited to the three floors, even if the evaluation committee approves the opening, it is highly likely that the opposition will raise the issue again. It is said that the actual impact on the community should be assessed through the planned operation of the entire floor. It is also argued that normal operation should be carried out on Fridays, which are currently under operation, in order to assess the impact of the infringement of learning rights raised by the opposition.

Lastly, I am proud of the excellent lecture by Professor Dong-hoon Lee, who has been a solid theory in the course of daily sports leaders. Our school has warm blood necessary for preparing for certification practice, an indoor racetrack where you can prepare without a hitch, and rehabilitation horse riding where you can exercise at any time. Students experience and conduct the positions of volunteers, leaders, and leaders in rehabilitation horseback riding, while also teaching assistant instructors for general experience horse riding. Another pride is the environment in which you can sharpen your practical skills and prepare for certification before going out to society. This happened when I went to the horse riding course during the summer vacation of the first year. There was a case where I was seriously injured due to my carelessness.

First, Professor Park Geum-ran, dean of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is engaged in various activities related to rehabilitation riding. While serving as an academic director at the Korean Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Association, he will give lectures on creative theories and practical skills necessary for classes through overseas training related to rehabilitation horseback riding. Professor Choo Ho-geun is currently serving as a judge in the horseback riding world. He is still playing as a player. He teaches us the general elements related to horseback riding in class and allows us to experience it. Above all, he is a warm mentor. Professor Seung-joo Kwon is currently an assistant teacher at Let's Run Park Pukyong, and he gives us new news and information through lectures, so he gives us the lectures we want to continue listening to even after graduation.

However, despite the fact that most of the livestock development fund is covered by the sales of the Korean Horse Association, complaints have continued that the management status of the livestock development fund has so far received little benefit in horse industry-related fields. The money earned from the horse racing industry is providing enormous support for raising cattle and pigs. With the recent implementation of the Horse Industry Promotion Act, despite the need for huge finances to revitalize the horse industry, which is highly likely to succeed in the sixth industry, if all the special reserves of the horse society are incorporated into the livestock fund and operated as a national budget, financial support will still be limited to a relatively small part of the horse industry.

The Ministry of Strategy and Finance announced on the 18th that it will absorb 1.2 trillion won (over the next five years) worth of funds, including Sports Toto profits, horse society special reserves, and contributions to poverty eradication, into the budget system through the "2015 budget plan." The Ministry of Strategy and Finance says that it is to increase fiscal transparency. Accordingly, the proceeds from Sports Toto and special reserves for horse society will be incorporated into the income of the National Sports Promotion Fund and Livestock Development Fund, respectively. Contributions to poverty eradication will be incorporated into the budget system in 2016.

Now that I am about to graduate, I feel a little awkward that I do not have a tight schedule and plan like I did when I was in school. I think I need constant self-development and study in the future. If I had special know-how in preparing for qualifications, I prepared to become familiar with the test and test site by preparing for writing and practical skills for all certificates related to horses. In addition, I went to the training center recommended by the professors every vacation and thought that I was the owner of the horse riding center by increasing my practical experience. It seems that I had more fun and memorable learning because I studied horse-related laws and horse health management. Above all, I would like to thank Professor Chu Ho-geun for his experience, Professor Geum-ran Park, Jeong-soo Ryu, and Seung-joo Kwon for their professional theories and experiences.

In addition, CEO Kim explained in detail the current status of Korean horse racing through a comparison of sales and number of people admitted over the past decade, and announced that the external environment of Korean horse racing is in extreme difficulty, saying that the reality that the Yongsan branch is struggling is not irrelevant to the contraction of the horse racing industry.World horse racing is in crisis," said Seok Young-il, a professor at Seorabeol University, adding that Korean horse racing has many problems as the city government still holds the race. With more than 30 years of professional experience in the city government, Seok introduced various history and behind-the-scenes stories related to world renowned horse racing and said, "After a certain amount of study, the bloodstream is a sense. Since the ancestry changes in three years, you have to study endlessly. All the parents of Thoroughbred are of prestigious descent. A horse runs to survive."

Before graduating from high school, I decided to get a job and attended an editorial design course for six months. After graduating from high school, I worked as an advertising company and freelancer for nearly two years in Seoul and Jeju Island. I wanted to know about horses that I first encountered in Jeju. So, I recklessly joined the racehorse production team at Sung Isidol Ranch and worked for about two months. Working at Jeju Airport, where working conditions were good, whenever I was off, I went to the horse rink to help me work and rode a horse to ride a rehabilitation horse, and I thought I wanted to study horses and rehabilitation horses properly. With the introduction of the horse-riding instructor I knew at the time, I met Professor Kwon Seung-joo. During the interview,

The reason I asked for an interview with the Horseback Industry Journal is that it is a media company that understands the situation in the horseback riding industry more than other media companies. I don't think I will do any more interviews at the athletes' council. The perception that horse riding is an aristocratic sport has declined a lot, but it is a pity that horse riding is considered bad and sold due to the Choi Soon-sil incident. Not only horseback riding but also all sports and the sports industry itself are on the back foot. It is hoped that not only young athletes who ride horses but also many others will have more opportunities to experience horseback riding. Woo Jung-ho, president of the National Federation of Horseback Riding Athletes, asked for an interview with the newspaper, pointing out that support is needed for athletes' protection and training,

Whatever the group, Samsung and Hanwha, paid 1.5 billion won, 1.6 billion won a year, applied for the association, or did, it helped the players. Horseback riding is an event without government support, so you can't compete without a company sponsoring it, and it's hard to participate in the Olympics.Until now, the chairman's office has been handled by the Korea Racing Authority, Hanwha, and Samsung. Because the company continued to support the money there, the association was able to run and host matches. You might say that 1.5 billion won is small, but if you pay for it every year, the company should be considerable. Although the Korea Racing Authority is said to be a company related to horses, the company's former chairman liked horseback riding, and applied. It would not be easy for Samsung and Hanwha to take over the chairman's office of the Horse Racing Authority in another company that has nothing to do with horses. We are athletes.

However, due to opposition from some residents and civic groups, efforts to change the Korean horseracing community are on the verge of going up in smoke as various programs of over-the-counter sales offices aimed at coexistence with local communities have not been introduced. The Korean horseracing community is well aware of the limitations of over-the-counter sales offices and problems that may be derived. Therefore, various over-the-counter sales office models have been prepared to present measures to coexist with local communities. However, it should never be possible to block even opportunities for improvement in advance due to voices of opposition only for negative perceptions.

Most athletes start exercising with the ambition of winning medals in the Olympics and Asian Games. I don't think I'll just go to college while riding. Students who go to college and compete in the next Asian Games will participate in school classes and exercise with the dream of trying out for the next Asian Games. In preparation for the Olympics, he applied from various fields, starting with the off-season training. Because Samsung spent money and provided support for the development of horseback riding, we were able to participate in the Olympics and Asian Games and win a medal. After the Olympics, we can go out and guide other athletes and deliver their know-how, which is huge. All horseback riders know that Samsung has developed a lot in horseback riding. No matter how much sports you wear only panties and hold shoes, development is difficult without sponsors.

How good is it for us to ask the equestrian for an apology from the president? And I fully understand the news conference about the fact that they suffered damage due to Choi Soon-sil. Isn't it unfair from their point of view that executive director Park Won-oh came down and said something while the referee was watching? I hope that one person, Jeong Yu-ra, will not harm Amon's special athletes. Most of the students exercise since they were young and still take time out of school. All special athletes don't do it like Jeong Yu-ra. I have a friend who goes to college among the students I teach now. I go to Hanyang University, but I can't come today. Tomorrow, he takes classes, and he comes to exercise after 3 p.m. He takes classes, and he comes to exercise even if it's late in the afternoon. Most of them are like that. Few athletes quit school.

Meanwhile, Sungsim Girls' High School said, "The students' assembly was held autonomously," and added, "The teachers stopped the students when they tried to go to the assembly even during the exam period." In a statement on August 17, "The Korean Teachers and Education Workers' Union's mobilization of students is a bigger social problem than video racing!" Sungsim Girls' High School claimed that the Korean Teachers and Education Workers Union is mobilizing about 15 students who are busy studying to the racetrack to attend, and the Korean Teachers and Education Workers' Union said not to use students as a tool for political purposes.

This is the part that demanded the resignation of Samsung, the current chairman of the Horse Racing Association. The players are grateful for the fact that a large company called Samsung supports them as the chairman of the Horse Racing Association. Horse racing is an unpopular sport, but it has invested in and contributed to the development of Korean horse racing. If Samsung steps down from its chairman's position right now, how will the horse racing association operate right away and how will next year's competition be held? It is nonsense to just demand Samsung's resignation without any countermeasure. He did not think about our horse-riding athletes and horse-riding people. What they said at the press conference was not all of us horse-riding people, but as victims. They are not integrating the opinions of all horse-riding people.

Horses were a new opportunity for her. It has been more than 20 years since she started living on behalf of her husband. Now, she is a representative of boiling and distributing the largest number of heads in the province. Now that she is intensively breeding more than 200 Hanramas, she is now running a stable management. She is producing, fostering, distributing, and selling horses herself, and developing soaps and extract as by-products. The company plans to open a white horse garden again and even establish a restaurant that combines distribution. It is a representative "sixth industry person" in the horse industry. Although she is a woman, she has lived in the rough horse industry for 20 years, so she knows everything. She even explains her age, breed and quality of meat just by looking at the appearance of horses that eat feed on feed.

In addition, team leader Shin advised, "When choosing a horse at a foreign horse auction, you should choose a horse suitable for the domestic environment, rather than placing importance on the compost or lineage." In addition, it received a lot of positive response by presenting the tips for efficient auction participation, the main point when observing bridging-up, the main point when observing the horse's body test, and the main point when participating in the asking price through experience in actual situations.

Back then, most farmers were just slaughtering horses. Maintaining freshness was important, but freshness was always left behind due to the culture of not sharing meat, including liver and intestines. He decided that rather than selling high-quality horse meat alone, restaurants in the province would have to sell fresh meat to coexist. About five years after running the restaurant, he started distributing horse meat to promote fresh horse meat. Transportation, slaughter, and expenses at the venue were "free service" to the restaurant and sharing only the price of meat. He was under tax audit, and when he caught sales of 10 million won per horse, he fined him. He struggled to revitalize horse meat, shared meat and managed it transparently, but the tax authorities were reckless. Even if I explained it, it didn't work. I cried a lot at the unfairness.

Just as she insisted on natural raw fish, she was faithful to the basics. It was pitiful. The principle is to offer fresh and high-quality horse meat to customers. When horse meat comes in, it should be sold within 15 days. If the caught meat is left for a long time, it is not fresh, so the meat was sold cheaply or the meat was made as a child and distributed to customers. People around me dissuaded me from offering expensive meat, but I stuck to the principle. A year later, customers lined up. The White Horse Restaurant was well-known for delicious, fresh, and high-quality horse meat on the table, and word of mouth was fast. Fresh beef sashimi was also provided free of charge to customers. When the kitchen managers who handled the cattle came, they said, "Do as I do.

For example, all the things that would have been easy to do if the horse-riding auction had been held at Jangsu Ranch, which was equipped with auction facilities, were all things to be noted here. From the installation of horse-riding and temporary horse-riding to the management of the horses' movements. Still, I think it is a great harvest that such a large horse race was installed inside the fair for the first time in Korea, and various performances ranging from horse-riding gymnastics to dressage shows were held and received great response. There were difficulties, but in the end, I was able to hold the fair well because of your cooperation. In Korea, there has never been such a large indoor horse race inside the exhibition hall.

Many events have been held mainly in Gwacheon, but I think we should go in that direction if we can hold them in other regions. However, it is necessary to select the exhibition area in the future by examining and considering the improvements made through this fair. The horse industry has a single field and has been thinking a lot about how to decorate the horse industry fair, a big event. We tried to make sure that events and projects that differ in timing and place could be held at KINTEX in the second week of October. It was to create as much synergy as possible for the fair. However, it was not easy to combine several independent events. As each situation is different, there were so many things to pay attention to from schedule adjustment to movement management.
