There is a place called Seongho Reservoir in Icheon City. I plan to contain everything for horses around this reservoir. It will focus various horse industry-related businesses from horse riding grounds to horse riding schools, horse-riding residence hotels, and horse saddle-making companies. It will create many horse-producing and breeding farms to generate income and make them a center of popularization of horses with everything about horses. Even now, horseback riding is common to be considered an aristocratic sport. It is not easy to ride a horse unless you have some money. That's why it is starting with youth horse riding. In particular, with the Pony Bell on it, the youth are making it easier for them to live their horses and popularize them. For example, Icheon City invested 240 million won for youth horse-riding groups,

There is no special episode. If anything, we talked about it jokingly. The last Godolphin Mile race was raining a lot the day before, and since other horses have probably not been in many rain races, we jokingly said that we hope it will continue to rain. Since we've run in rain and wet sand, we thought it would be advantageous if it continued to rain. However, it rained on the morning of the competition, and when I ran the race, it didn't rain. And the word "nani" means the international rating is 113, so I ran in the 2,000-meter race of the Dubai World Cup later. I finished fifth there, and I was on the same plane as Masu Yoshida, who came back from Dubai. How proud Masu Yoshida is to me, showing me the video.

When I asked which horses would compete in Korea, they said Powerblade, Mainstay, Defensive Dement and Seoul Bullitt would participate. "Triple Nine" is a Korean representative horse that has been selected as a representative horse of the year for two consecutive years, and I decided to take part in the race. When my horse runs in a regular race, I leave everything aside and visit the racetrack. In fact, it is not easy to take a long flight for 9 to 10 hours at a considerable age. However, I think it is their duty to meet their horses when they run. And what I must see is also a must-see personality. Actually, I am not a leisurely person, but I think it was up to me more than anything else.

Personally, my dream was to create a permanent horse racing market. I also designed a marketplace where the whole family could come and ride horses, watch shows, and buy supplies on weekends by making a horse racing park nearby. It was intended to host the event in Yeonggwang, Jeollanam-do, and recently, a local government in the metropolitan area showed interest and is pushing for it. Even in Korea, where the FTA began in earnest, the income of cattle and pigs is gradually decreasing. The government also encourages horses, but it is in the early stages. Management is still difficult at sites such as horse racing and ranches, and there is no sales channel. However, I think the possibility of development is endless. In order for the horse industry to develop, it must focus on research and development. In addition,

Instead, you should ride safely. A person who is new to a horse and can barely walk should not run and run all of a sudden. If so, of course, that is a problem. However, if you can safely speed up when you have a certain ability to ride horses, horseback riding is a sport that can be enjoyed even in your 80s, not in your 60s and 70s. Even if you look at foreign countries, older people are enjoying horseback riding. In Korea, older people cannot go hiking because their legs are sore, but if they know how to ride a horse a little, they can go on an outing. Each local government is also making many rides, and since the rides are not necessarily for running, I think it will establish itself as a decent leisure for the elderly.

When the Chilgok plant is completed, it is expected that it will meet the demand for Gyeongju's retirement horses in Let's Run Park Busan and Gyeongnam and Yeongcheon. Since it is a company specializing in waste disposal, we need to establish a system and foundation to handle even dead horses. I think it is most urgent to turn horses into resources. There is no way to dispose of them, let alone support them, so they call a forklift and secretly bury them in the ground. It is because there is a company that handles cattle and pigs, but it is expensive, and there is no basis for handling horses. When I cut it, the meat usually weighs 180 kg, but the feed factory says it cannot pay more than 4,000 won per kilo. It is 500,000 won per two including transportation costs, but it is said to be expensive at the horse riding site. We will try to reduce the price to the 300,000 won mark as much as possible.

While exploring various ways to tackle the problem, the "Diversification of Use of Retired Horse" project has been launched. Meanwhile, Holstown (CEO Kim Moo-young) is headquartered in Paju, Gyeonggi Province and is preparing to set up an office in Chilgok, North Gyeongsang Province, to specialize in disposing of retired horses and all horses. This reporter interviewed Kim Moo-young, the CEO of Holstown, in Paju, Gyeonggi Province on Oct. 27. The company specializes in disposing of retired horses and abandoned horses, which was selected by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Korea Racing Authority as a "project to support diversification of use of retired horses." It is currently operating a plant in Chilgok. It plans to start operation in earnest next year. It will also push for the establishment of a farming company.

However, for now, I am not sure what I can do and how I can help. For trainers, I believe they need to acquire advanced training skills in the future. Instead of sticking to the old skills learned from their seniors, I believe that new technologies must be learned by inviting instructors from horse society or trainer associations to become an advanced horse country that is second to none in the world. It has been several years since the law was announced, but there seems to be not much that can be done because the law has not been completed. I believe that the development of the horse industry will accelerate only when the unfinished law is completed as soon as possible rather than left as it is. The Korean Horse Association is a public enterprise, and I think privatization should be done.

Since we met each other, I have met horses. One of my high school classmates, a friend whose wife's family runs a racehorse production ranch on Jeju Island, told me that they were recruiting horses at Let's Run Park Pukyong one day. The friend said, "You are qualified, so apply for it," so we met each other without knowing what it is. That's how the relationship began, and in February this year, I majored in horse genetics in graduate school and earned my master's degree. I run a Jemagi Technology Institute in Changwon, and I am building a tentatively named Marand racehorse recreation facility, a horse riding course, and a tourist farm in Ibanseong-myeon, Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-do, with the goal of completing it next spring. Horses should be my everything. I've been ripped off a lot for leaving the existing business to my wife

Under the current Korean horse racing system, the two horses have little to do with each other. The two horses cannot be trained at the same time. Now, the two horses are being trained by the assistant or the trainer, but I believe that the two horses should be trained at their ranch or training center in the future, just like in foreign countries.Additionally, I believe that the master must understand the characteristics of his horse so that he can choose the right assistant and trainer. For instance, consider entrusting the assistant teacher, who prefers good deeds and precocious horses, with Mansukhyeong and bottom-drawing horses. Even a famous horse will be treated as a foul horse. The difference in status between the master and the trainer is, in short, the difference between A and B, since the master must entrust the trainer with the training of the horse.

Triple Nine," which has been selected as the representative horse of the year for the second consecutive year and has been reborn as the representative horse of Korea, has made a page in the history of Korean horse racing by taking the final stage of the Dubai World Cup, the dream stage for the first time in a Korean horse race. Although it was regrettable that it ranked 11th out of 13 in the last race, the Godolphin Mile Competition, it is said that it has shown a further improvement in Korean horse racing. Choi Byung-bu, the face-to-face, also kept his promise with horse racing fans by participating in "Triple Nine" until the final round. To see the four competitions in which "Triple Nine" competed in person, I met Choi Byung-bu, who showed his affection by traveling to Dubai four times.

Penakova. It is a brand of horse-riding clothing that any horse-riding person has heard familiarly. It always appears at stadiums or horse-riding events where horse-riding takes place, and they are breathing with horse-riding people. They use various broadcasting equipment to broadcast live horse-riding competitions, and they are taking the lead in promoting horse-riding by re-editing and uploading videos of dressage matches that may feel boring. Penakova, which is striving to spread horse culture in various ways, won the grand prize in the horse culture category at the 19th Horse Industry Awards. We met with Park Yoon-seop, CEO of Penakova (hereinafter referred to as 'Yoon') and Park Cheon-seok, executive director (hereinafter referred to as 'Cheon') who are self-proclaimed as an alimi of the horse industry beyond horse-riding alimi, and talked to them.

From the beginning of the opening of Let's Run Park in Busan and South Gyeongsang Province, I started working as a horse-related person and formed a connection with horses. I knew that the horse-related qualification system would be implemented by the Horse Industry Promotion Act, so I tried from the first inning, but I failed each time. Actually, I was going to give up the test this time. At the end, I was embarrassed that I failed every time, and the horse racing officials asked me why I was taking the trainer test. They said that even though it was a written test, it was never allowed in practical practice. However, Teacher Kwon Seung-joo, who studied with me, asked me why I should give up when I was eligible for the second practical test this time, so I applied for it on the last day of application and took the test.

It helps a lot emotionally, too. I want people to heal with horses and gain consideration for life and a lot of enlightenment in the activities with horses. To do that, I want to strive for the welfare of horses. I want to study more fields, experience and experience more in practice, and continue to develop myself, rather than being stopped. I want to become a leader who has a consistent good influence in the horse industry. To this end, I am preparing to transfer to Jeju National University's physical education field. I am also thinking of going to graduate school. I want to work in teaching and research. Just as I am familiar with the use and precautions of a product when I buy a product, I hope that the days will come when Koreans will be familiar with the habits and behaviors of horses and approach them more friendly and safe.

As soon as he took the reins, he was surprised at what he was surprised by and was taken to a hospital after being hit in the abdomen by the horse's back foot while holding the lead strap. The diagnosis revealed that his pancreas was damaged. Fortunately, he did not need surgery. Instead, he underwent medication for a month and was hospitalized. After the accident, people around him reportedly felt puzzled to see me ask how the horse was doing. After the incident, he became more concerned about his safety. He looks back on dangerous behaviors he unconsciously performed, and emphasizes the importance of safety to his juniors every time. At that time, the horseriding rink covered all expenses incurred at the hospital. I would like to express my gratitude to the chairman, representative,

Lastly, I am proud of the excellent lecture by Professor Dong-hoon Lee, who has been a solid theory in the course of daily sports leaders. Our school has warm blood necessary for preparing for certification practice, an indoor racetrack where you can prepare without a hitch, and rehabilitation horse riding where you can exercise at any time. Students experience and conduct the positions of volunteers, leaders, and leaders in rehabilitation horseback riding, while also teaching assistant instructors for general experience horse riding. Another pride is the environment in which you can sharpen your practical skills and prepare for certification before going out to society. This happened when I went to the horse riding course during the summer vacation of the first year. There was a case where I was seriously injured due to my carelessness.

First, Professor Park Geum-ran, dean of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is engaged in various activities related to rehabilitation riding. While serving as an academic director at the Korean Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Association, he will give lectures on creative theories and practical skills necessary for classes through overseas training related to rehabilitation horseback riding. Professor Choo Ho-geun is currently serving as a judge in the horseback riding world. He is still playing as a player. He teaches us the general elements related to horseback riding in class and allows us to experience it. Above all, he is a warm mentor. Professor Seung-joo Kwon is currently an assistant teacher at Let's Run Park Pukyong, and he gives us new news and information through lectures, so he gives us the lectures we want to continue listening to even after graduation.

Now that I am about to graduate, I feel a little awkward that I do not have a tight schedule and plan like I did when I was in school. I think I need constant self-development and study in the future. If I had special know-how in preparing for qualifications, I prepared to become familiar with the test and test site by preparing for writing and practical skills for all certificates related to horses. In addition, I went to the training center recommended by the professors every vacation and thought that I was the owner of the horse riding center by increasing my practical experience. It seems that I had more fun and memorable learning because I studied horse-related laws and horse health management. Above all, I would like to thank Professor Chu Ho-geun for his experience, Professor Geum-ran Park, Jeong-soo Ryu, and Seung-joo Kwon for their professional theories and experiences.

Before graduating from high school, I decided to get a job and attended an editorial design course for six months. After graduating from high school, I worked as an advertising company and freelancer for nearly two years in Seoul and Jeju Island. I wanted to know about horses that I first encountered in Jeju. So, I recklessly joined the racehorse production team at Sung Isidol Ranch and worked for about two months. Working at Jeju Airport, where working conditions were good, whenever I was off, I went to the horse rink to help me work and rode a horse to ride a rehabilitation horse, and I thought I wanted to study horses and rehabilitation horses properly. With the introduction of the horse-riding instructor I knew at the time, I met Professor Kwon Seung-joo. During the interview,

I heard that Jeju will hold a horse-riding fashion show. (Thousand) In May, Jeju National University will hold a fashion show with students from Jeju National University. It has already signed an MOU with Jeju National University, and is hosted by Lee Kyung-gap, a professor of food and nutrition at Jeju National University. As in all sports, industry and fashion must go hand in hand. It is an opportunity to introduce and show horse-riding clothes to the general public including students through the fashion show. It is important to promote the horse industry itself, but it can also bring about the effect of promoting the horse industry by exposing horse-riding clothes and horse-riding fashion first. Just as people who do not play golf wear golf clothes as their daily clothes, and people who do not go to the mountains wear hiking clothes as their daily clothes, ordinary people can enjoy wearing horse-riding clothes as their daily clothes.

The reason I asked for an interview with the Horseback Industry Journal is that it is a media company that understands the situation in the horseback riding industry more than other media companies. I don't think I will do any more interviews at the athletes' council. The perception that horse riding is an aristocratic sport has declined a lot, but it is a pity that horse riding is considered bad and sold due to the Choi Soon-sil incident. Not only horseback riding but also all sports and the sports industry itself are on the back foot. It is hoped that not only young athletes who ride horses but also many others will have more opportunities to experience horseback riding.

Whatever the group, Samsung and Hanwha, paid 1.5 billion won, 1.6 billion won a year, applied for the association, or did, it helped the players. Horseback riding is an event without government support, so you can't compete without a company sponsoring it, and it's hard to participate in the Olympics.Until now, the chairman's office has been handled by the Korea Racing Authority, Hanwha, and Samsung. Because the company continued to support the money there, the association was able to run and host matches. You might say that 1.5 billion won is small, but if you pay for it every year, the company should be considerable. Although the Korea Racing Authority is said to be a company related to horses, the company's former chairman liked horseback riding, and applied. It would not be easy for Samsung and Hanwha to take over the chairman's office of the Horse Racing Authority in another company that has nothing to do with horses. We are athletes.

Most athletes start exercising with the ambition of winning medals in the Olympics and Asian Games. I don't think I'll just go to college while riding. Students who go to college and compete in the next Asian Games will participate in school classes and exercise with the dream of trying out for the next Asian Games. In preparation for the Olympics, he applied from various fields, starting with the off-season training. Because Samsung spent money and provided support for the development of horseback riding, we were able to participate in the Olympics and Asian Games and win a medal. After the Olympics, we can go out and guide other athletes and deliver their know-how, which is huge. All horseback riders know that Samsung has developed a lot in horseback riding. No matter how much sports you wear only panties and hold shoes, development is difficult without sponsors.
