The reason why the Korean horse industry, which was not born for a long time, was able to grow rapidly to KRW 3.4226 trillion was because of the help of the media such as the Horse Industry Journal, in addition to the government and the Korean Horse Association.The Korea Horse Association, the only institution dedicated to fostering the horse industry in Korea, will also do its best to develop the horse industry. We will successfully promote related projects such as the payment of the livestock development fund, the realization of the social value of the horse industry, the creation of quality jobs, the promotion of demand for domestic horseback riding, and the expansion of infrastructure. Therefore, in the end, we hope that the horse industry will be able to contribute to the development of the national economy beyond the livestock industry.

During his tenure as the head of the Rural Development Administration, he promoted projects such as smart farm technology development, establishment of the sixth industrialization of agriculture, expansion of exports, and mechanization of field agriculture, and emphasized, "It is an achievement that could not have been achieved without understanding the difficulties of the field." Therefore, he said, "If you don't have customers, there are no companies, so you have to always look at everything with sincerity from the customer's point of view." He also introduced his experience working in the planning department, such as the planning and budget officer, the agricultural policy director, and the head of the planning department, which began in 1983, and disclosed an episode in which he set comprehensive measures for the development of farming and fishing villages between 1989 and 90 years.

As Korea's first horse industry magazine, we sincerely congratulate the 6th anniversary of the founding of the Horse Industry Journal, which has played a key role in the development of the horse industry. The horse industry is a high value-added 6th project that can be expanded in various forms, including primary industry production and breeding, secondary industry feed, dressage equipment, facility manufacturing, tertiary industry horse riding, horse racing, tourism, education, and rehabilitation. This is why advanced countries such as the United States, France, and Japan are eager to foster the industry. According to a report published by the United States, the economic effects of the horse industry through horse racing, shows, and recreation are more than $100 billion, including direct and indirect effects.

I think most of them came true last year. Before riding horses in Group 19, I had hardly won a race, but I think I achieved many things as a jockey because I had a good relationship with assistant teacher Kim Young-kwan. It's not common for a jockey to win nine races in a year, and most of what I want to achieve has been achieved. If I have a dream, I would like to win the Grand Prix and the Presidential Cup. Of course, it will not be easy. My future dream is to run for a long time as a jockey. I don't feel like I have to be an assistant teacher, and I want to run for a long time without getting hurt. 2016 was a year of extra good luck. I had a good year when I met the three-way horse, "Power Blade." I also thank my assistant teacher Maizu and her for creating such a good opportunity. Even if I always work hard, there will be times when I look bad or bad to a horse racing fan.

Currently, in Korea, the perception of sports wagons is changing little by little as SD1 promotes them, so they need the help of the horse racing community, but whenever they try to proceed with the business, the person in charge changes and they are having a hard time. In addition, it is a pity that people who have not learned well use the wrong wagon. We have to use experts to open various markets, but there are many problems in these areas because they only maintain their comfort. Currently, there are many German champions of dressage and obstacles in horseback riding abroad, and Europe such as the Netherlands and France is famous, but the wagon is held by Australia. The style of carriage competition varies from country to country, but as Boyd Exell continues to win the championship,

Wagons have dressage and obstacle races, as well as cone driving races, just like ordinary horseback riding. In ordinary horseback riding, dressage is held at 60X20 stadiums, but because the wagons are large, they are held at 100X50 stadiums. The wagon race is conducted in 1st, 2nd, and 4th wagons, and the FEI race is played in each class according to the number of horse heads, and the championship is held in 4th wagons. The scoring method checks how well the combination of horses fit and whether the rhythm is going in stride. Obstacles are usually called a marathon and are similar to cross-country of horseback riding. It is a race where you pass through a course without touching six to seven obstacles. Conditioning is similar to an obstacle race in horseback riding.

When asked about the reason for communication through social media, he stressed that if "communication is what must be accompanied by field-oriented management," he said, "It is important to listen to communication well, but it is also important to inform it properly." He also said, "We will try not to miss the sound of customers and to listen to their difficulties and opinions and reflect them in our work."Finally, he said, "Although horse riding and horseback riding are somewhat negative, riding horses is actually suitable for keeping the body and mind healthy," and added, "I promise that the Korean Horse Association will do its best to develop the horse-related field."

Although horse racing is a FEI sport, it is not an Olympic sport, and it is as popular as horse racing, obstacle racing, and dressage in Europe. In Australia, the competition is wide and the general public enjoys it a lot. People with physical disabilities and disabilities, such as those who are difficult to ride horses or those who are physically challenged, are wagering to get closer to horses. When I worked at Winnie World of the Korean Racing Authority, I asked a horse racing expert to host a wagon at Winnie World. A horse racing expert who came to the horserace became my coach now, and while riding a wagon, I saw the FEI wagon game and it looked really cool. In Korea, there is a wide range of athletes in dressage and obstacles,

For example, he suggested that we make horse carts instead of golf, even in the main building of the horse society, and he won the competition. Looking at the scene with a business management mindset, I think it is difficult to develop by emphasizing only one area of the horse industry. The association and related organizations move separately, and horse riders consider horse racing a gamble. The horse society tries to give some money to shake and control it. Giving only money means nothing. It's just showing off. Horse racing and fans need to stand up straight. No matter how good the quality of the race is, fans gather. If you don't buy a 10% ticket, the horse society will stand right away. Illegal horse racing sites should also be prevented from going, not cracked down.

By generating profits, young people can support start-ups, and retired silver generations can earn pocket money. It is also possible to promote the horse society, which can be difficult to promote directly and boost consumption. If you include a campaign to prevent drowsiness in the simulator monitor video and a promotional video for the horse society, many people can get closer to horseback riding. The Small Business Market Promotion Corporation said that the project was adopted, and the Korea Expressway Corporation also said it was good. We have prepared a card payment system and are ready to propose, but the horse society is not moving. The final stage is to sign an agreement with a racehorse resort, a ranch, a training center, and a manufacturing complex center using three basic local governments and sites in Gangwon Province.

There is also a plan to attract customers to the horse racing site after the instructors dispatched them to the horse racing site through a talent donation ceremony in connection with the nearby horse racing site. If it didn't work out, I said that I should continue this kind of training even with my own money. Even at the horse racing site, you have to ride 20 times to become a horse racing population, not an experience. Not only do you support the youth, but also spread it to the general public in need of elementary horse racing such as the silver generation and firefighters. I also suggested turning the amazing site of the horse racing center into a horse racing cafe. Shouldn't we build a horse racing cafe and a horse racing simulator center in the outdoor sales center.

Seniors usually pay 1,000 won for physical therapy, but isn't the effect of treatment small? You can take care of your health by exercising with the horse-riding simulator that is distributed free of charge in the area. Some centers were worried about seniors and attached the phrase "Don't ride over 65" or operated it with a fixed time. When I visited again, I didn't need to do that." In the case of firefighters' sports facilities, the chief of the fire department broadcasted the facilities himself to gather, and then gathered four to 50 firefighters to train them. As young people rode it, they changed the mechanism back to a sturdy one even at a loss as they seemed to be unable to handle the damage. The size of the simulator has been lowered so that it won't be uncomfortable for you to exercise.

The second protagonist of the 19th Horse Industry Awards relay interview is Kim Yong-geun, a jockey in the best jockey category. He played a part in the "Power Blade"'s rise to the triple crown, breaking the stronghold of the jockey Moon Se-young, who has won the best jockey category for five consecutive years. In his first year since debuting in 2006, he made a spectacular debut with 23 wins, and in 2012, he recorded 91 wins, setting a new record of the most wins in the season. As he moved his activities from Pukyong, a park, to Seoul starting this year, Moon and his rival match are also attracting attention from horse racing fans. He met with Kim Yong-geun, a jockey who showed humble attitude, saying, "The good performance of horses rather than his skills has been attributed to good performance," and had an interview with him at the Horse Industry Awards.

He advocated the need for the development of the Korean horse industry with his unique honesty and confidence, saying, "If you're 100% sure you're talking about a mission, you're lying." The horse-riding sector has also been in a difficult situation, as the manufacturing sector has been collapsing. For five years, he has not been open for business and has worked on persuading people or developing simulators. I also studied horses seriously. As the vice chairman of the emergency committee of the Korea Horse Racing Association, he continued to host horse-riding competitions for the disabled, and he has donated them to schools and organizations for the disabled who do not have money even though they need horse-riding simulators such as holt schools. Finally, I made a bid because the horse-riding society was running a project to distribute horse-riding simulators.

Experts say that if the existing exercise machine focused on simple exercise, the evolution of technology and the development of horse-riding simulators, which participate in races and ride horses together while watching screens, will further promote the popularization of horse-riding. The market has high expectations, especially in that it has the advantage of being able to enjoy horse-riding indoors safely and that anyone can ride horses anytime, anywhere. The Korean Horse Racing Authority established a basic plan for the supply project of the Horse-riding Simulator late last year, invited local governments to distribute it, and selected sports facilities of the National Fire Agency. A total of 20 horse-riding simulators were provided, including 12 at 12 community centers including Hwaseong Songsan-myeon Community Center and eight at Seocheon Fire Center in Chungnam.

Korean horseback riding has dominated gold medals in the dressage team and individual events since the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok, but was unable to prepare properly due to the situation in the domestic horse racing world, which was confused by a series of events. Nevertheless, Kim Hyuk's performance enabled him to win a silver medal in the dressage team and a bronze medal in the individual event, maintaining his status as a Korean horse riding in Asia. Kim Hyuk is more expected to be tomorrow than today, and is considered a new rising star in dressage to succeed Kim Dong-sun and Hwang Young-sik. In particular, this year, the year of the golden pig, the 1995 pig, is expected to have more active activities and results. These days, during the off-season, he is working hard on individual training at Hwaseong Horse Racing Center.

Chairman Lee Yang-ho said that agriculture was a very difficult time due to the Uruguay Round negotiations at the time, but he first introduced Agricultural Cooperative Corporation and Agricultural Company Corporation to overcome this, and introduced Agricultural Promotion Areas to lay the foundation for our agricultural policy. In particular, farmers, organizations and the government announced that they have introduced a self-funded system to study the promotion of consumption by creating funds. He suggested the motto "Let's take a step ahead and look far and do our best" as a work philosophy and said that efforts to prevent problems in advance are important. Chairman Lee Yang-ho also said, "It is important to put out the fire that fell on your feet, but it is also important to look at the direction the organization should go out in the mid to long term."

Another special prize winner, trainer Seo Chang-soo, played a role in establishing and laying the foundation for the training system for domestic racehorses. The trainer is an expert in training, which is in the early stages of joining the racetrack, and plays a role in taming racehorses that are not familiar with human hands yet, and building the framework as a racehorse. As an early founding member of the racehorse trainers, which emerged in 2007 when the policy on training and systematization of "racehorse trainers" in Korea was established in earnest, it has contributed to the normalization of the racehorse training system.
