On April 30, the Seoul Trainers Association and the Jockey Association decided to form an Ethics Committee and appoint its members, and on June 7 decided to establish an Ethics Committee for racehorse-related personnel and expand it to all workplaces. On June 14, a preliminary meeting was held to determine the operational direction of the Ethics Committee, and on July 8, the contents of the Ethics Agreement were finalized. The contents of the ethics agreement were drafted by the Fair Horse Racing Authority and then finalized after coordination between the two organizations.The “Agreement for the Practice of Fair Horse Racing” signed between the Seoul Trainers Association and the Jockey Association aims to strengthen mutual communication and cooperation among both organizations and their members, enhance the fairness of horse racing through active self-regulatory efforts, and thereby promote the establishment of a trustworthy horse racing culture among customers and the public.

In addition, about 20 people attended the Korea Racing Authority, including Kim Jong-guk, Head of the Fair Management Headquarters; Kim Hak-shin, Head of the Seoul Regional Headquarters; Won Yoo-gwan, Director of the Fair Management Division; and Jang Dong-ho, Director of the Seoul Racing Headquarters.The reason the Seoul Trainers Association and the Jockey Association came to sign an ethics agreement on their own to promote fair horse racing was because, at the end of last year, the Korea Racing Authority established a Fair Management Headquarters, and in January of this year, while re-evaluating the importance of self-regulatory efforts by racehorse officials and working to activate self-regulatory functions, the Trainers Association and the Jockey Association visited each other more than ten times to share the need for self-regulatory efforts by racehorse officials to prevent racehorse-related misconduct.

If a few more people like Representative Kim Moon-young come forward, I believe our language industry can develop through constructive criticism and advice.I hope readers will also join in doing what they do best so that specialized media in the horse industry can continue to develop. I hope the Korea Racing Authority also appoints experts as members of various committees so that they can hear opinions on the direction of industry development.We started as the only specialized media outlet for the horse industry in our country,

Otherwise, it could flow into the underground economy and illegal gambling.For the horse industry to develop, the horse racing industry must develop first. Even looking at other countries, the horse racing industry cannot develop through control or regulation. It should be supported through policy, but since it is only controlled and regulated, it has changed very much from the original purpose of its establishment. We need to establish measures such as removing purchase price caps and cracking down on illegal underground betting, and from the profits generated, pay taxes

This year, with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs designating one horse industry special zone each in Gyeongsangbuk-do (Gumi, Yeongcheon, Sangju, Gunwi, Uiseong) and Gyeonggi-do (Yongin, Hwaseong, Icheon) as the second and third horse industry special zones, the development of the horse industry in inland regions has officially begun.Jangheung County’s establishment of a close cooperative relationship with the Korea Racing Authority by signing a memorandum of understanding and holding a meeting to promote the horse industry is seen not only as an effort to foster the horse industry, which is emerging as the local government’s top priority, but also as a move with the designation of the next horse industry special zone in mind.

Due to insufficient practical support, we faced operational difficulties and underwent restructuring, but the situation is still difficult.Since I took office, we’ve been holding general meetings in the Korea Racing Authority auditorium, eating in the company cafeteria to save costs, and turning it into a culture of getting a glimpse of my former workplace.Other alumni associations usually have a hall. Retirees gather there to eat together and play long-term Go, using it as a place for fellowship, and I hope there will be a space like this in our Masa Alumni Association as well.

Meanwhile, horse racing officials point out that the concerns raised by People’s Solidarity and others—that the Korea Racing Authority prohibits credit card payments for betting tickets and only accepts cash, raising concerns about income evasion and tax avoidance—are contrary to government policy and appear to be an impure attempt to discredit the Korea Racing Authority.In addition, under the horse racing moderation policy, the government legally prohibits not only small purchases but also the use of credit cards at racecourses or off-track betting outlets, and there is growing criticism that, contrary to government policy, the government is making an unreasonable claim that betting must be paid by credit card.

What is especially admirable is that, through foreign materials, studying abroad, and business trips, we learned systems that cannot be found anywhere else in our country, laying the foundation for the development of the horse racing industry.Where foreign horses made up the majority before, we have now institutionalized the system so that domestic horses account for more than 70%, and we have worked to promote Korea’s level of horse racing to the world by holding the

Even though it wasn’t a part state, I think the juniors worked very hard and feel proud that, after going through Part 3 and becoming a Part 2 state, the status of Korean horse racing was elevated.What’s disappointing is that the horse racing industry itself has no connection to general society and has few related industries, so here I am an expert, but if I quit, there will be nothing left for me to do. I see it as a major problem. I hope the horse industry itself becomes firmly established.

Rehabilitation horseback riding needs to be promoted, but there are limitations, which is regrettable. Also, in my view, it is appropriate to introduce health insurance for therapeutic riding. Physical therapy is allowed, and it makes no sense that horseback riding rehabilitation through verbal instruction is not covered by health insurance. While preparing my master’s thesis, I learned for the first time that Italy has health insurance, but it is unfortunate that it is not yet available under our circumstances.

He also promoted a nationwide horse-riding campaign, encouraged executives to ride horses, and gathered information on the status of riding centers across the country, thereby spreading a nationwide horse-riding boom. I hope the policy continues to be inherited and developed, but there is some regret that its form has since changed or been altered.The Korea Racing Authority should run a horseback riding healing center and a program that can provide therapeutic treatment through horses for people with disabilities.

Personally, I was born in the Year of the Horse.It’s as if the horse-born came to the horse company. It is also a great honor for me to have joined as a high school graduate employee, attended both university and graduate school, and even served as vice president.I served as the head of the Healing Center for three years and eight months, and since January 2016 have been active as president of the Masadong Alumni Association, spending about 40 years in the horse industry.We are married, and our children have grown up;

Gradually, at first, some of the horses that have completed the departure inspection are allowed in. The next step is to allow only horses that have passed the 100% departure inspection to enter. As the next step, some that passed the driving inspection come in, and then only horses that passed 100% come in. They prepared a system where if they passed on the day of joining, they would come in as racehorse masseurs, and if they failed, they would be sent home again. The trained and tamed horses are those that have passed at least the minimum driving inspection.

I will actively support the many concerns and opinions shared here today so that they can translate into practical and tangible results,” and urged, “Please do not hesitate to provide the Korea Racing Authority with support for the development of Jangheung County’s horse industry.”Meanwhile, the Korea Racing Authority stated that it plans to implement improvement measures including establishing a cooperative medical care system through a registration system for private veterinarians at each hub, providing clinical training for large animal veterinarians to promote emergency horse medical personnel, and expanding the installation of riding horse breeding support centers for horses, in response to difficulties such as the absence of a specialized horse veterinarian in the area of Jangheung County’s horse producers and the inconvenience of breeding support due to the long distance of Jangsu Ranch.

Unlike Thoroughbred, where production, training, and development are systematized, they are being put into racing at some point simply because they have reached an age.Because they come in without proper training, their expertise is lacking and accidents happen frequently.Even the horses’ running level drops. The ability is good, but the words and the deviation are also severe.Overall, the quality of the race is declining. Jeju horse racing is broadcast in Seoul and Busan, but there were also complaints from customers saying,

As far as I know, it first began between 2011 and 2012, and if the first five years were spent creating 500 equestrian venues and training specialized equestrian personnel as part of the initial project, it seems that the five-year plan for the future development of equestrianism is currently at a standstill.Therefore, I think we need to transform the drifting project into a virtuous cycle structure that can encompass everything, including the sales market. In particular, it is judged that building a large dedicated equestrian stadium is the most important.

Last year it was held on the lawn course, and this year it took place at the Sonopellice Equestrian Club. We also wanted to introduce and show Sono Felice Riding Club to the public, and it is true that last year, due to inconveniences with the practice arena and other facilities, we were unable to provide the horses with the best possible environment. This year, we played in a dedicated field so that the horses could compete in their best condition. Although it lacked the beauty and style of a grass field, competing in a dedicated venue allowed for a focused and compact match,

Compared to baseball, which has risen to become one of Korea’s representative sports, the popularization of equestrianism may sound like a distant prospect. However, during the second edition, the audience’s enthusiastic response and attention witnessed on site convinced us that the popularization of equestrianism was not far off, and it became the driving force behind organizing “May On Eohos 2017.” Going forward, Daemyung Group intends to lead efforts to popularize equestrianism by combining the diverse cultures loved

Born in Busan, he graduated from Busan Information High School and the Department of Leisure Sports at Tamna University in Jeju, and joined the company as an administrator at the end of 2004.

However, due to the mechanization of equipment, its role is changing into a different form. In that regard, the Army Academy’s mounted unit has sufficient justification for its necessity. In addition to providing equestrian training for cadets, it also carries symbolic significance as a descendant of the nomadic peoples. It will also help strengthen the military’s image as a trusted force through public-oriented external activities. I intend to attend as many events as possible, and I will also work hard to build an image of the military as a reliable force loved by the people.

When I first saw the horse, I didn’t think it would be this big. The reason I wanted to come here was that I applied because they said I could manage horses and see them in person. When I first read the words, the feeling was that it was interesting. At first, I was scared when I first rode a horse, but after riding it about twice, it was fine. Right now I’ve been busy preparing for the General Lee Yong-mun Cup equestrian competition and other things, and I don’t have much time, but if I have the time later, I’d like to try learning horseback riding.
