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. Former presidents did well,

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.

He hopes that the couple will work hard together and it will be of great help to vitalize youth horseback riding, and he also has a desire to become a role model for youth horseback riding clubs in Korea. Later on, he wants to open a chain store named after our horseback riding club. He will do so passionately as he is called a "young blood" in the horse industry. Choi Tae-hoon, CEO of Yongin Pony Club, expressed his aspiration to open a chain store named after his horseback riding club. He said that there were many difficult handrails in the process of increasing the Pony business, which started with three horses, to 23 within a few years. However, he overcame difficulties by running on his feet, and now he is making stable profits by receiving certification for the sixth industry.

There were times when it rained 50,000 times a day, and there were times when it rained, so it was a waste. There were times when I burned a lot, 500,000 won, but I said I was happy at the same time. What started like that is now recognized as a sixth industry in recognition of its efforts, and it is becoming stable because it is certified as a sixth industry and helped by the government. My wife had no relationship with horses. I met her through the introduction, and my wife naturally became familiar with them while dating and playing together. I bought three horses and went on a lot of dates together, but that's what I've come to this point. I gave my children a ride on a horse date, and they were happy to see each other, and those things continued.

In addition, customer service is likely to be important. It is difficult to succeed in any field without improving customer service. Also, efforts are needed for the horse-riding grounds to find a breakthrough on their own. Most horse-riding grounds receive support related to student horse-riding. If this support is cut off, the majority of the horse-riding grounds are said to be ruined. The support cannot continue until long, and the horse-riding businesses themselves must build up their strength. If the support continues, no effort will be made. Our horse-riding ground is not even supported by student horse-riding, but it is operating well. It is thanks to my hard work. What I felt in the field is that it is a field that has potential if you work hard.

Since it is located outdoors in our horseback-riding club, sometimes forklanes and dump trucks can be seen, but Korean horses are not surprised because they are used to it. In 2013, I started the horseback-riding experience by visiting the camping site. I was just thinking about it, but I got contact from the campsite or school, so I started to leave, but now the range of activities has expanded. There are calls from schools for the disabled and inquiries about whether they can do experience horse riding in vocational schools. I have also contacted me from Seoul, which is more than 60 kilometers away, which was embarrassing because it was far away, but I also went out more for social contribution than profit. Profit is important,

While preparing for the university graduation presentation, I thought of the Pony Horseback Riding Project in small words to suit the children's eye level, and after graduation, I started the business in earnest after going through a preparation process. It was 2014, and it seemed to be helpful as it coincided with the time when the Pony opened. It seems that my eyes on horses, how to manage specifications, and know-how in producing them have accumulated. Thanks to my parents' involvement in the livestock field since childhood, seeing and growing a lot of horses helped me greatly, and I raised and sold horses myself. Soon after, I had 10 babies. It produces more than three each year. Some of them are wormbloods and Hallama crossbreeds, and there are many others, including sherland ponies and miniatures.

They seem to communicate and communicate comfortably because they are young business owners and are of similar age to their parents. While I was thinking about what to do before graduating from college, I thought about the 'children's horse riding business using pony'. Since childhood, my father has been on a farm where he raises livestock such as deer, pigs, and goats, so I had no qualms about raising animals, and the horse riding I learned as an elective in college became a connection. The horse-riding instructor praised me when I saw that I learned horse-riding the same way, but I learned it faster than other friends. And at the time of the third season, the instructor even asked me if I would like to help him work at the horse-riding field.

As we received a meaningful award, I will understand it with the sound of working harder, and I will work hard in my position to develop the horse industry. First of all, we receive a lot of educational inquiries from nearby kindergartens and schools. General customers who first visited our horseback riding club felt great satisfaction with the program and spread a lot of word of mouth. When word of mouth went viral among parents, inquiries were made one after another, and when demands for the horse riding program were gathered at a certain scale, it led to group inquiries from kindergartens or schools. In addition, it played a role in promoting not only through word of mouth, but also through SNS and parenting communities.

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,
