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.

Currently, almost all of the funeral services in our association have qualified, and new friends who came to learn the funeral service are planning to get them this year. I know that all of the existing funeral services in the horse society took exams last year. After our association takes the exam this year, all of them will be finished. And young people who want to learn the real funeral service will be able to qualify sequentially. The pyramid-style qualification structure is the best for the oldest funeral service that has been held for more than 30 years, but it is currently reversed. This is because young friends have one-time certificates, and seniors have four to five-time certificates.

It seems that it was the beginning before and after the industrial fair at the end of last year. The 4th Mal Industry Fair was held at KINTEX in Ilsan, and 20 million won was supported for funeral-related events. Until then, the atmosphere between the two organizations was very good. However, the Jangje Association within the Horse Association bought a booth within KINTEX from our association and asked us to run a booth with the Jangje Association within the Horse Association. I decided that it was a good idea, so I tried to do so, but the operator said that it was not possible to use a gas container or fireplace indoors. Then, there was a horse riding competition in Gyeonggi-do, and a request was made to set up a funeral booth next to the venue

Until last year, the association did not request assistance, but this year, for the first time, it requested assistance from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. When I entered the Ministry of Agriculture with plans such as funeral education, funeral association, and funeral training, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry responded that there were not one or two associations under its jurisdiction, and that all associations could not provide the support they wanted. It is a matter of course and true. Still, when I asked if there was any way to provide even a part of the support, the association said that it was difficult because there was no legal basis for immediate support, and he said it would be difficult to share subsidies in the funeral sector among the budget of the Horse Association.

He didn't miss out on the effects and functions of horseback riding. "The best exercise for one's mental and physical health is horseback riding," he said, stressing that many people consider it only a high-end sport, but it should be popularized. When I visited Italy, I saw a private horse riding center and horse-riding facilities, and the members said it was impressive that they rode horses for their own sport. You have to give attention and love to horses. In fact, raising horses is more fun than riding horses. If you give them love, they are closer than friends. Horses are the closest pets to people. At one point, I used to wake them up by playing music in the morning when I had a horse.

Koo also said he hopes Haman, his hometown and hometown, will develop into a specialized horse industry city. An external riding course in Namgang-myeon will also be established, and it will be used for a sunflower festival where 300,000 tourists visit in July, and an endurance competition will be possible. Whenever he visits Haman County Horseback Riding Park, he brings not only carrots for his horses but also snacks for his employees. This is to express gratitude to the employees here for their hard work for the county residents. Asked what is another advantage of Haman-gun Horse Racing Park, he summed it up with "no sick words." Some of the horses that were supported are not suitable for beginners

One of my horses called "Triple Five" participated in the competition, but the horse's performance was not good since then. He had a two-month vacation due to poor racing performance in October and November. Perhaps because of such experience, he was not happy to participate in international competitions overseas, and he instantly became reluctant to participate. So when I asked what horses would participate in Korea, he said that they would include "Power Blade," "Main Stay," "Department Demention," and "Seoul Bullitt." "Triple Nine" is a Korean representative horse that has been selected as a representative horse for two consecutive years,

Former Vice Chairman of the Korea Racing Authority Kim Young-man, who retired in May 2014, returned as a non-executive director on March 27. The Korea Racing Authority hired former Vice Chairman Kim Young-man to replace Seo Seung-il, a non-executive director whose term expired in September 2016. Former Vice Chairman Kim Young-man, who is from Goryeong, North Gyeongsang Province, was a former public information officer of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs in 1979, director of food policy, auditor, and head of distribution policy, and an orthodox agricultural official who served as the head of the National Institute of Fisheries Science from June 2010.

Japan has no direct support for the horseback riding industry at all. Currently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry or the horse society is investing a lot for the development of horseback riding, but I think that could be counterproductive. The market should leave it to the market. Honestly, it is difficult to run a horse riding course. However, amid such difficulties, the market must research, develop and develop it. This means that front-line horse riding courses should not be obsessed with supporting. If you give me support, I will have a hard time teaching each member of the horse riding to make money, and I will try to go comfortably with the government's support. What can I do if I say that I will stop supporting you right away?

Its main purpose is to transform a Thoroughbred designed for running into a horseback riding. It is to learn how to train horses so that people can run comfortably and safely. High-class training will be conducted from next year, the fourth year of the race. In order for the Thoroughbred, which was used as a racehorse, to be converted into a dressage horse, I also learned dressage from Serimachi. Instructor Serimachi is also the coach for the Japanese national team and a very famous person in Japan. The hurdle is also taught by athletes who compete in the Rio Olympics. In Korea, students bring their money and learn from experts who are qualified to learn.

And the players said no to Thoroughbred. However, when I saw a Japanese instructor change the term to a dressage horse with Thoroughbred, I became interested in it. So when I went there and saw it in person, it really turned out to be a fairy tale. So I started going to the Japanese crane riding center for training three years ago. It was very difficult. Still, I had a goal, so I kept learning it. Serimachi instructor was born in the year of the dog in 58 and he scolded me a lot while teaching me. There were times when I was young, but I wondered why I had to be scolded and returned home. However, with the strong will of Koreans, I put up with it and worked hard to achieve my goal. I tried hard to be supportive to young Japanese players.

There, I am receiving professional training from instructor Yoshidaka Serimachi.The purpose is to prepare for new changes. Youth horseback riding is in the early stages of riding in Korea, so it is the mainstream, but I think it will develop into professional horseback riding such as dressage and obstacles. Until now, many people in Korea have enjoyed endurance sports with only horses riding in the Mongolian style, but it is believed that dressage and obstacles will be in the spotlight in the future. In short, it will change from 'beolma' to 'horse riding'. There are not many dressage horses in Korea right now. And there are no people who can teach dressage. I thought this was the strategy for the future and started learning dressage.

First, I went to the local police station and the education office to learn about horse riding. And we talked a lot about the effects of horse riding and ways to contribute to the local community through horse riding. In the process, the local community gradually began to pay attention to it, and it received a great response from the student horse riding. Six years ago, I consistently insisted on running a horse riding business with a small horse. Others said that Hallama was stubborn and said no, but I ran the horse riding ground because I said not to be funny. At the time, I didn't have a single love red. In the end, I proved myself right.

Horse racing is clearly distinguished from the general gambling industry because it is included in the horse industry and the national infrastructure is established. It is clear that if horse racing is activated by increasing the horse racing refund rate and resuming the sale of Internet betting tickets, which has been blocked since 2009, the horse racing industry will naturally be revitalized. I hope many horse racing fans will pay attention. If 150,000 horse racing enthusiasts must also pay a lot of attention to it, otherwise it will be impossible to realize it. I ask that you actively participate and pay attention to find the minimum rights of horse racing fans.On the 4th, a policy proposal signed by 900 horse racing enthusiasts for the development of horse racing

Since Korean horse racing is also entering the international stage of G2, it is necessary to create a lot of conditions to match it. I hope you will give a lot of support and interest to make the Korean horse racing environment better. Also, I hope that the state and horse racing society will pay attention to improve welfare and human rights issues for horse racing officials, especially managers.Korean horsemen have many wishes. They attended the event to convey the wishes of several racers, including a substantial more than 50 percent cut in taxes and a revival of Internet betting among the world's 49 professional horse racing stations. The two major purposes of the signing by racers,

If the horse racing industry is revitalized by improving the environment and culture of horse racing so that it can be enjoyed as a leisure, the horse industry will also be revitalized. I think the revitalization of the horse industry will also be of great help to our society. First of all, I think it would be great if the next government could listen to the demands of horse racing fans and reflect them in the legislation. Many people, including horse racing fans, signed it, and I hope that the next government will make horse racing a leisure with the will of those who signed it. Above all, I hope that the day will come when I can resolve the negative image of horse racing and enjoy it as a leisure.

test008

Currently, Korea's horse racing refund rate is 73 percent, which is too low for the OECD average. In Japan alone, it is 75.1 percent, and in Hong Kong, it is 78.1 percent. In the case of the U.K. and Australia, the rate is 89 percent. Korea pays too much tax. In addition, there are many horse racing taxes, including a 100 percent increase in admission fees, a 100 times double taxation, and a 2 million won refund. This is why the tax on horse racing should be cut. It also calls for conducting online betting. The smartphone penetration rate in Korea is over 90 percent. Reissuing online tickets should allow people to enjoy horse racing anywhere with just a smartphone.

test008

Amid the negative view of horse racing, racers are being misunderstood too much. This is not the case. Horse racing is a sport that can be enjoyed as a leisure. The reason for this occasion today is to improve the negative image that people perceive as gambling, even though horse racing can be enjoyed enough as a leisure. In addition, it is to create a forum for public debate on tax issues and reintroduction of online ticket sales, which are disadvantageous to our horse racing fans. The online ticket sales were discontinued in 2009, but I thought that such a forum would be necessary to implement online sales again.

From my third year of university to my graduation, I took horse racing courses at the Korea Racing Authority. I completed the Horse Industry Technology Training Course for college students and the Ranch Management Course at the Korea Racing Authority. During my vacation, I briefly worked at a horse racing center in Jeju Island and learned how to ride horses. At the Jeju Racing Authority, I learned a lot about horse racing, including the ancestry and training process of horses. Before I became interested in horses, I was just an ordinary student. Due to the influence of my father who runs a pig farming business, I went on to study livestock management, distribution and economics. At that time, I thought I should help my father's work.

test008

My father faced me and told me to study horses. At that time, I was studying livestock management, distribution, and economics at Konkuk University, and I thought I should ride horses to study horses. While riding horses, I began to communicate directly with horses. As I touched horses myself, I fell into the charm of horses without realizing it. I always read books and videos related to horses, and I looked for various educational programs to dream of raising horses. After graduating from university, I joined the Jeju Ranch as a contractor by chance. While working, I learned and learned a lot about horses. After the contract was over, I began to raise horses in earnest.

I also have confidence in this. However, I don't know how long it will take. The final goal of the 'Mayon-a-horse' that Daemyung Group wants is to promote CSI5* to create an environment in which foreign players can bring their horses to Korea and have a normal horse-riding competition with existing horses. In addition, I pay respect to the management of Daemyung Group, who plays this role without being selfish. Horse-riding is politically intertwined due to a series of situations. In a way, the horse-riding people who have worked silently so far may be the victims of the Choi Soon-sil scandal. I hope Daemyung Group's "Mayon A Horse" is a competition where all horseback riders and the public participate and enjoy it.

However, fundamental measures are needed for the development of the horse industry. The horse industry project has been initiated with government policies over the past five years. I know that it first started between 2011 and 2012, and if 500 horse racing stadiums were created in the first five years and the training of horse racing professionals was part of the first project, the five-year plan for horse racing development seems to be currently drifting. Therefore, I think we need to change the drifting project into a virtuous cycle structure that can encompass everything, including the trading market. In particular, it is judged that the construction of a large horse-riding stadium is the most important. A horse-riding stadium should be available to hold horse-riding competitions for a long time there, and through the competition,

Daemyung Group also feels sorry for the fact that horse-riding students think of it as a means of going to college. However, Daemyung is trying not only to expand the base for horse-riding, but also not to lose the original intention of 'Mayon-a-horse'. It plans to continue to develop sports and cultural encounters without being shaken by any draft.Last year, it was held at the Lawn Riding Club, and this year, it was held at the Sonopelice Equestrian Club. It is true that the Sonopelice Equestrian Club was not able to provide the best environment for horses due to inconveniences such as the practice rink last year. This year, the team played at a dedicated stadium so that horses could play in their best condition.

test008

In particular, "Mayon-a-horse" learned the advanced trends of Europe, the home of horseback riding, and tried to make a competition comparable to that, and as a result, it has established itself as the current "Mayon-a-horse." A special stadium was set up on natural grass and cultural contents that the public was interested in were incorporated into it. Compared to baseball, which has risen as a representative sport in Korea, the popularization of horseback riding may sound a little distant. However, the audience's response and gaze from the scene during the last two competitions were convinced that the popularization of horseback riding was not far away,

Kim Jong-kook, head of the Korea Racing Authority, graduated from the University of Seoul Department of Public Administration, received a master's degree from the University of Seoul Business School, and is currently studying for a doctorate in sports and cultural welfare policy at the Seoul National University of Science and Technology. Thanks to Pinnoir, I'm on the podium again, and I feel happy and excited every time. I was very worried that I would catch up because I hit the middle of the race. It is true that he was turning six this year. The Dong-A Ilbo thought the race was over in an advantageous way in terms of experience because of bad weather, but I am very happy that he ran so well today. I plan to manage the horse as much as possible and think about the next race.
