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,

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. Woo Jung-ho, president of the National Federation of Horseback Riding Athletes, asked for an interview with the newspaper, pointing out that support is needed for athletes' protection and training,

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.

How good is it for us to ask the equestrian for an apology from the president? And I fully understand the news conference about the fact that they suffered damage due to Choi Soon-sil. Isn't it unfair from their point of view that executive director Park Won-oh came down and said something while the referee was watching? I hope that one person, Jeong Yu-ra, will not harm Amon's special athletes. Most of the students exercise since they were young and still take time out of school. All special athletes don't do it like Jeong Yu-ra. I have a friend who goes to college among the students I teach now. I go to Hanyang University, but I can't come today. Tomorrow, he takes classes, and he comes to exercise after 3 p.m. He takes classes, and he comes to exercise even if it's late in the afternoon. Most of them are like that. Few athletes quit school.

This is the part that demanded the resignation of Samsung, the current chairman of the Horse Racing Association. The players are grateful for the fact that a large company called Samsung supports them as the chairman of the Horse Racing Association. Horse racing is an unpopular sport, but it has invested in and contributed to the development of Korean horse racing. If Samsung steps down from its chairman's position right now, how will the horse racing association operate right away and how will next year's competition be held? It is nonsense to just demand Samsung's resignation without any countermeasure. He did not think about our horse-riding athletes and horse-riding people. What they said at the press conference was not all of us horse-riding people, but as victims. They are not integrating the opinions of all horse-riding people.

There are calls from schools for the disabled asking if they can ride rehabilitation horses, and inquiries about whether they can ride experience horseback riding at vocational schools. I also got a call from Seoul, which is more than 60 kilometers away, and although it was embarrassing because it was far away, I went out more in terms of social contribution than profit. Profit is important, but I think there is a great need for horse-riding companies to lower the wall of awareness of horse-riding and make efforts to reach the public. The most urgent priority is to popularize horse-riding. This is because if horse-riding is familiar to the public, many people will visit the horse-riding site, which is directly linked to the income of the horse-riding site. Structural changes are needed so that horse-riding can be easily spread.

It was 2014, and I think it was helpful as it coincided with the time when the pony opened. It seems that he has accumulated his eyes on horses, how to manage their specifications, and know-how to produce them. Thanks to my parents' involvement in the livestock field since childhood, it was very helpful to see and grow a lot, and I raised and sold horses myself. Soon after, they gave birth to babies. So far, he has 10 Ising babies. We produce more than three animals every year. Among them, there are wormbloods and Hallama breeding, and there are various kinds such as shutland ponies and miniatures. Pony produces and sells a lot like an experience farm. The one that was born by crossing Hallama and Warmblood is really good, so we don't sell it. I'm not willing to sell it because it's a very nice horse. Hallama is being sold a lot at the horse riding center.

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 horse 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 horse riding programs were gathered at a certain scale, kindergartens or schools led to group inquiries. In addition, it played a role in promoting not only through word of mouth, but also through SNS and parenting communities. It seems that useful information related to childcare and education was indirectly promoted because there was a culture shared among parents.

The business feasibility of what industries will take place there was not close to the public except for the creation of a large reclaimed land called Saemangeum. No industry is guaranteed to succeed no matter what industry goes into it. The Saemangeum Development Administration says that it can be a land of opportunity for the horse industry and talks about the charm of Saemangeum. The world-famous developed horse racing countries have large grasslands and have excellent training conditions. No matter how good the horse is, development is impossible in the end unless the infrastructure is in place to foster and train it. Then, is there a place to do it on Korean soil? There is no place to do it on Jeju Island. In that sense, Saemangeum appears to be a land of potential. Saemangeum is a reclaimed land,

Even from the perspective of producers who actually produce racehorses, they are not satisfied with buying and using racehorses themselves. In order for Korea's horse industry to develop and create a horse industry that can satisfy workers in the horse racing industry, I think the most important thing is to produce good horses in the end. The racehorse production industry itself is lagging compared to foreign countries, and the quality of horse racing itself is falling compared to its external growth worldwide. At the moment when there was a demand from production farmers to overcome this, and what is needed to produce good horses, Seol Hoon, chairman of the Agriculture, Food, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Committee, and Kim Han-jung, a lawmaker, led the policy debate.

Due to my busy work, I have a lot of business trips, and it is difficult to make an appointment due to distance restrictions. However, I communicate well with the president of the mutual aid association and the president of the mutual aid association organically. We also complain of our difficulties and sometimes listen to what they need. I hope there will be many opportunities for dialogue and communication. Members of the Korea Racing Authority have been producing racehorses for about 25 years so far. It has been produced really hard and it is the same now. I can't actually help you with racing, but we'll be faithful to that role because it 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 races. In the reality of domestic racehorses,

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 cases where foreign horses run to win in the fifth group. That is really dangerous, though. 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 and the rest is rarely received. If this prize money system continues, domestic horses' competitiveness may decline sharply, causing real trouble. No matter how honorable they are,

In addition, if we cannot stabilize breeding fees, there is a problem in this regard that the breeding fees are running throughout the world on the seedling ranch. Since it is still difficult and immature to produce seedlings in Korea, the biggest problem is how to manage and operate seedlings. I hope the auction system will be improved. At horse auctions held abroad, the successful bidder is all responsible for the moment the successful bid is won. In Korea, however, there are still many areas where farmers are responsible for the three to four days after the successful bid. Buyers have to take a close look and purchase as well as sellers, but the structure is like this, so there is a difficult aspect. Various efforts are being made to reduce defects, such as pre-X-rays, but in an environment where the cancellation is too easy

Just as a new wind of upheaval is blowing in any industry worldwide, the trend facing horse racing is also changing. Like the saying that you see as much as you know, you must know and study horse racing. It's time for us to be able to respond to changes and increase our competitiveness. I think it will be more difficult to speak out than now if we continue to leave it to the assistant teacher and let him do it on his own. Paying attention to your ancestry, developing an eye for choosing your own horses, and checking the condition of the racehorse like your own child will certainly lead to your grades. You shouldn't be too greedy, but within the line of maintaining the dignity and authority of the other person, you should take care of both the honor and the practicality of the other person.

At the donation delivery ceremony, which will be held after the award ceremony for the chairman of the Seoul Racing Authority, a total of 290 million won donated by the members of the opposing party will be delivered to the Let's Run Foundation from the end of last year to the beginning of this year.

The more important thing is that the presidential boat of the Seoul Horse Racing Association symbolizes the beginning of the individual horse racing system, which was the first starting point for the advancement of horse racing, and it is the history of the individual horse racing system that began and nourished its growth. With the creation of the individual horse racing system in 1993, the transparency and fairness of horse racing were secured and our horse racing was able to grow at a high speed. After all, the individual horse racing system is the essence and root of horse racing, and it means the identity of the horse racing industry. Last year, there were some incidents that shook its identity amid the chaos of Korean horse racing, so it seems very important for all of us to reflect on and

Marking the 25th anniversary of the individual horse race, our faces are now on the stage of a new challenge to catch two rabbits, Honor and Silly. In the future, we must continue to establish the rights and status of the face and break through different interests between the implementation body and related organizations. These critical fateful challenges are difficult to solve without experience and motivation alone. Due to the structural characteristics of Korean horse racing, the implementation body dominates the strongest power, but dogmatic actions in the advancement of horse racing are never successful. We will establish a system in which the voices of related organizations can be reflected in policies so that the strong power of the face-to-face can be the driving force for the development of horse racing.

In recent years, Korean horse racing has been in a lot of trouble, with the pain of horse racing innovation plans over the past few years and the government's manipulation of state affairs last year. In particular, it was a more painful and fierce time for the faces who are the largest investors in the horse racing industry and have to sustain the development of horse racing, with a significant increase in deficits amid stagnant horse racing sales and prize money.

Legal and institutional restrictions play a role in the recognition of horse racing as gambling. It is unfortunate that many horse racing fans are illegally leaving due to betting caps or access restrictions. I think it is a part that the entity should strive for. The mystery analysis competition has additional prize money that can be obtained as a result of good mystery analysis, as there are prize money in addition to the prize money earned from betting on horse racing. I hope there will be more competitions where horse racing reasoning skills are competed rather than the so-called 'money-for-money'. I also personally think that the prize money will become bigger like overseas and the participation of overseas horse racing fans will improve the perception.
