Chairman Lee Yang-ho said, "Although the inauguration of the chairman is a great honor, the public's thoughts and image of the Korean Horse Association are not bright despite various efforts," adding, "I think we should make the Korean Horse Association a company loved by the people."In response to a question on how to reflect 30 years of public service life and experience working for agriculture promotion in management principles, he announced the principle of "promoting work centered on high schools, prefectures, and governments" during his tenure as the head of the Agricultural Development Administration. It also means that it is important to listen to customers and the field's opinions and solve their difficulties and make them policy by promoting customer-oriented and field-oriented work.

The main content of the "Special Act on Support for Self-reliance, such as Production and Distribution of Agricultural and Fishery Products" is to temporarily implement special measures to promote consumption in the agricultural and fisheries sectors for three years, allowing the government to designate damaged items as special measures in the agricultural and fisheries sectors and provide additional support for the cost of production, distribution and export of designated agricultural and fishery products. Representative Yoon So-ha held a public hearing on the law on September 21 last year and listened to the opinions of agricultural and fishery producers. At that time, representatives of producers' associations such as the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, the Korean Beef Association, the Ginseng Association, and the Gulbi Abalone participated to discuss specific government support measures, and urged the government to provide separate support measures.

I thought I didn't have to lose by fighting the strength of the "Otuk-tuk-tuk-tuk" because I had two experiences of turning one or two and winning without going to the good deed. If I went to the good deed, I would go, and if "Otuk-tuk-tuk-tuk" wanted to go out, I would give it to him. I was going to check him out and use up all the power of "Ruk-Ruk-Ruk-Ruk," and I was going to beat "Main Stay" after saving all my energy. However, the horse was weak after passing three corners. People say what they did because they didn't do good deeds after watching this, but you can tell by watching the race video. "Ferdy-Dopomeroy" is not a horse that wins by doing good deeds.

It may be a funnier process than a special occasion. I graduated from high school when I was 20 years old and worked part-time at a PC room while attending university. At that time, the owner of the PC room said, "Your physique is perfect for jockey." But I didn't know the job of jockey. Growing up in Hampyeong, Jeollanam-do, I didn't even know there was horse racing. I didn't fit my college aptitude, and when I turned 23 when I had to work, I thought I should work. But I wasn't confident. Due to his small physique and lack of learning, I suddenly remembered what the boss said when I was working part-time at an internet cafe. I started to look for a job as a jockey on the Internet. I accidentally found out the homepage of the Jockey Association. It was around November 2003, but the recruitment was made in a hurry to prepare for the recruitment.

Horse racing has a strong national perception of gambling, so private companies or ordinary people have not traded, and it is somewhat limited, so existing companies brought in only a few items according to their profitability. So, they are also carrying out such business in terms of securing diversity. Machance is translated into French for "my chance, my luck." Marshalls is a company that delivers the "opportunities" and "good luck" of athletes and customers who love our products, and it is making a strong and safe saddle following the craftsmanship of Saddle, which was produced for the best safety of athletes when horse racing developed in the 20th century. We want to bring together current and former athletes, innovative design teams,

When I was studying abroad when I was young, my poor foreign language skills made it difficult to communicate with foreigners. However, I started to engage in private diplomacy, which I approached first with my natural sociability and infinite positive mind, and the breakthrough that enabled me to replace my poor communication was sports. While doing sports activities together, I was able to get closer and closer to foreign friends. Having experienced the strengths of the sports field from an early age, I entered the sports-based Korean speech industry with the spirit of pioneering a global leader and the potential for rapid and infinite development.It is in the business of producing, producing, and selling horse gear used for horse racing and horseback riding.

I visited a production lab in Dongjak-gu, Seoul to meet him. At a glance, a young man with a full sense of fashion was working on the lining himself with a sewing machine. As with most young entrepreneurs, it gave the impression of running on his feet day and night in a poor environment. It tells the story of CEO Kim Dong-ha, who is in his late 20s but has a clear philosophy about the horse industry and his business. While listening to the grievances of his hometown senior, who was a flag bearer, I accidentally entered the horse industry. Now, he is a retired rider, and I often saw his senior at the time suffer from too much weight restrictions. So, he was working related to trade, and he was interested in the sports field, so he brought a light and large saddle from overseas and started it with effect.

The paper released by Dr. Park Byung-jong suggested that the sixth industrialization of the horse industry and fostering the rural convergence industry need to secure an area of about 30,000,000㎡, which is more than the area announced by the government, and that the construction of a horse industrial complex in the Saemangeum district can be of great help in revitalizing the local economy by establishing a resource network in the surrounding area, functioning as a leading hub for the horse industry, influx of population, and job creation. Based on the published paper, the government plans to make a project proposal to the government to specify a plan to create a 'Saemangeum Mal Industrial Complex'. Meanwhile, in the second comprehensive plan announced this year, the government reaffirmed its policy to build Saemangeum agricultural land into Daegyu-ro Horseland,

They complain of our difficulties and sometimes they listen to what we need. I hope there will be many opportunities for dialogue and communication. Members of the Korea Racing Authority have produced racehorses for over 25 years so far. They have produced really hard and are the same now. I can't provide direct help with racing, but we will do our best because it is a role that produces and supplies good horses. Please pay attention to domestic horses, too. I don't have much hope, and I want to produce horses that win the presidential boat among domestic horse racing competitions. In the reality of domestic racehorses, it is difficult to win in international competitions such as the Dubai World Cup or Japan. And because competition is fierce in Korea, I have that goal.

Until domestic horses become more competitive, the mixed race with foreign horses should be delayed. The mixed race was initially decided to introduce only the first and second groups and expand it based on market conditions, but there are currently cases where foreign horses jump to win in the fifth group. But that's really dangerous. And while the price restrictions on foreign horses have been lifted and expensive horses have come in to win the championship, too big a change in the prize money system is not possible. According to the current prize money system, 57% is given to the first place winner and the rest is rarely received. If this prize money system continues, domestic horses' competitiveness may fall sharply, causing real difficulties.

However, in Korea, there are still many areas where farmers are responsible for three to four days after the successful bid. Buyers need to look at them as well as sellers, but the structure makes it difficult. Various efforts are being made to reduce defects, including prior X-rays, but in an environment where the cancellation is too easy, the seller is bound to be at a disadvantage. Since the cancellation is possible by paying only 10% of the successful bid price, racehorses that have been auctioned off at 50 million won can be terminated by paying a penalty of 5 million won. However, I think institutional improvement is necessary because the opportunity to sell horses disappears after termination.

Chairman Kim Chang-man, who first began producing racehorses in 1997, is set to take office on March 7, and officially began his term on March 1. I have heard his candid story. The association is introducing seedlings with the help of the government, and 40% of them have to pay themselves. Self-burden is being paid by borrowing, but in order to introduce a high-quality seedling, self-burden must be increased in addition to government-supported subsidies. I have a lot of worries because I have no choice but to introduce seedlings through borrowing in a situation where the burden is growing. In addition, if we cannot stabilize the breeding fee, the breeding fee is running throughout the world on the seedling ranch, so there is a problem in this regard.

Also, let's run park, Busan, and Gyeongnam take good care of the overall management of fair horse racing. Even among the jockeys, they show the phenomenon of being concentrated only on certain horse parlors or horses, and we ask them to pay more attention to fair horse racing. Through his inaugural address, the new chairman, Kim Wook-soo, expressed his willingness to contribute to the formation of an equal cooperative partnership with the horse society and the development of the domestic horse racing industry. In addition, he insisted on taking the lead in the internationalization of Korean horse racing through the integration of the Myeon Association in Seoul and Busan and the abolition of horse price restrictions.

This is because even foreign horses with good pedigree are inferior to domestic horses that have won the race without experience. In addition, foreign horses have to compete with horses that have won from the 4th grade, and if they train too hard to match the competition, they may break down quickly. If you buy a lot of good horses in foreign countries, you will get quality horses, and it will also help develop Korean horses. For example, if you buy an expensive foreign horse at a price of $1 million, you will not be able to win even if you participate in a horse race held in Korea and win all of them, but there will be people who will definitely pay $1 million to buy them because of their competitive edge. Since there is no added value in prize money in Korea, they will turn their attention to foreign countries,

We need to lift the price limit on horses and maintain the stance. Only then can the quality of Korean racing be improved. Some elders say that the price should be tied again, which is wrong. Then we go back to the old days. The reason domestic words are not available to foreign languages such as Japan and Singapore is that there are fewer good words due to the price limit. The Korean Horse Association has brought in some good seed horses to support them, but they cannot beat horses bought from abroad. We must move to an autonomous competition system. The abolition of price restrictions should allow foreign horses to be freely brought in only for new horses, and at the same time, the racing system should be changed. Those that are currently in mixed races from the 4th grade should be divided into domestic and foreign products.

Through integration, you can put your horse in Busan and leave it to a good assistant teacher to win the race in Busan, and the Busan horses can also put your horse in Seoul and win the race in Seoul. Wouldn't it be antinomic that Korea's central horse race is in Seoul, but its performance is lower than that of Busan? There are only a few racetracks in Korea, but they should be integrated. This is because there are public opinions against it within the Seoul Racing Authority. The Korea Racing Authority, the operator of the horse race, also tried to integrate the race, and some people who are familiar with horse racing say that integration is necessary. However, those who have stereotypes think that if integrated, Busan horses will take away all the prize money.

Horses from Let's Run Park Busan and South Gyeongsang Province are performing relatively well in the years-long integrated horse race between Busan and Seoul. The reason is largely due to the influence. Of course, there are management and systemic factors, but Busan has a longer straight line than Seoul, so endurance horses perform well in Seoul, while speed horses perform well. But the integration can also be an opportunity for the opponents, who purchase and compete for horses. Currently, except for the integrated race, the Seoul race allows their horses to compete in the Let's Run Park Seoul race, and the Busan race allows only the Let's Run Park Busan race. However, if the horses are integrated, they can compete in all the races in Seoul and Busan.

Attention is focusing on how Chairman Kim's leadership and drive will lead to results, with pending issues such as improving the treatment of managers and the integration of the Seoul-Busan Face-to-face Association at the end of this year. We have included the inauguration interview in a question-and-answer format. The Busan-Gyeongnam Horse Racing Association is a corporation that the first chairman of the Jinyoung Kim made difficult in 2006. At that time, the Korean Horse Racing Authority felt somewhat uncomfortable about the establishment of the Face-to-face Association, but it was made difficult due to the constant efforts of the first chairman, which allowed me to come to the 7th chairman.

Recently, I heard that China is investing heavily in dressage. It is said that a lot of good dressage horses have been imported from Europe. The horses that Korean athletes ride are more expensive and have higher levels than in Japan. I know that the price of a horse for a Korean athlete who participates in various competitions, including the Asian Games, is more than twice the price of a horse for a Japanese athlete. In Korea, the price of a horse rides varies, and the athletes go to the U.S. or Europe for individual training. However, most Japanese athletes work in Japan and participate in the competition by working at a horse-riding club. In my opinion, the level of Korean is higher than that of Japan.

The group, which was always on the rise, was unstable in gagging, but rode stably after the training. The training went well on the first day. In Japan, the World Horseback-riding Championship in the U.S. and the Asian Games in Jakarta will be divided into two groups. First of all, the same player will ride a horse in the mixed martial arts. A player has several horses and is expected to win a gold medal here. As the group of athletes who will compete in the obstacle event is only the level of the second tier of the national team that will compete in the World Horseback Championship, I think it will be difficult for Japan to win a gold medal. Since Korea and the Middle East will do its best with good horses, I don't think it will be easy for Japan to win a gold medal.

For example, if there are words that are insensitive to reactions, if there are words that are sensitive, and if there are words that are naturally above the head, there are words that are below. I don't think there is a correct answer, so I don't make a separate manual. Also, Japanese language experts are reluctant to manualize related know-how. As soon as the know-how is written in text, it is seen as 'this is the correct answer', so there is a concern that someone else may raise an objection. If it is a mathematical formula figuratively, the answer is fixed and there is a formula for solving it, but if you interpret a novel, there will be no one way. It is very diverse, and I think everything can be the answer.

Last year, trainees from vocational groups who are mostly familiar with "teaching assistant" participated in training in Yeongcheon-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and Let's Run Farm Jangsu limited places. For that reason, the more the education progressed, the better the understanding and effectiveness of the trainees were, and significant progress was made. However, this year, it plans to apply a customized teaching program by gathering horses and trainees of different levels and tendencies at horse riding stations across the country.In the case of a passenger horse, the balance should be flat or at the back. Improving the balance is key to converting a race-retired horse to a ride. Going from the back to the front means faster balance, and race-retired horses use their bodies with this familiar balance.

Dirtbread, which was mainly used as a racehorse at racetracks until the mid-1990s, was used as a horse for horseback riding by itself. However, as European warmbloods began to be introduced in Korea in the mid-1990s, the technology of horse racing was naturally eliminated. Professional sports horseback riders begin to ride the warmblood, which is far more physically superior, and the skills of driving and training racehorse, which are not profitable, have not forgotten their existence. Japan continued to pass on the technology of driving and training racehorse, even though it was in a similar situation to Korea, and now it has the world-class technology of driving and training racehorse.
