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.

Teacher Thomas, who debuted on the Korean stage as the third foreign assistant teacher at Let's Run Park Pukyong in 2015, has already entered his third year as a Korean assistant teacher. Three years is a long and short time, but he must have understood Korean horse racing by seeing, hearing and feeling it on the front lines of Korean horse racing. In addition, his grades, which are currently ranked at the top of the list of assistant teachers belonging to Let's Run Park Pukyong, are proof that he is already familiar with Korean horse racing. Now, he is a member who is making a new history of Korean horse racing beyond just a foreign assistant teacher, and he seemed to have affection for Korean horse racing. Let's check the current address of Korean horse racing from the perspective of Thomas, a foreign assistant teacher.

At a recent academic conference hosted by the Lottery Association Cooperative, he also presented a study on the regulation of the domestic gambling industry and an analysis of the horse racing industry survey. Last year, he contributed six papers to academic journals registered by the Korea Research Foundation, including "A Study on the Policy of Utilizing the Prevention Rate of Gambling Addiction in the Gambling Industry," and took the lead in recognizing the challenges of the horse racing industry by writing and presenting to juniors and young people. "It is time for wisdom and patience to solve the complicated threads of the horse racing industry," acting head of the horse racing headquarters Kim Jong-guk said in a phone call with this newspaper. "Based on our experience, we will do our best to solve the challenges of the horse racing industry through win-win cooperation."

Meanwhile, President Moon Jae In paid tribute to the late Father McGrinch in a condolence speech on his death, saying, "The deceased came to Jeju Island as a ray of hope, which has been devastated by the April 3 incident and the Korean War." President Moon said, "He wanted to establish a Sung Yi-dol ranch to get rid of Jeju's poverty, and he became a friend of the poor and underprivileged by establishing welfare facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes, and kindergartens, and credit cooperatives," and added, "The Irish priest with blue eyes took care of and healed Jeju's pain and deeply engraved God's love and peace in the hearts of our people. Thank you and I love you." On the same day, Moon Dae-rim, a candidate for governor of Jeju Island, issued a "statement on Father McGrinch's adenoma" and said, "Father McGrinch is a true saint who has worked for Jeju all his life.

Horses were a new opportunity for her. It has been more than 20 years since she started living on behalf of her husband. Now, she is a representative of boiling and distributing the largest number of heads in the province. Now that she is intensively breeding more than 200 Hanramas, she is now running a stable management. She is producing, fostering, distributing, and selling horses herself, and developing soaps and extract as by-products. The company plans to open a white horse garden again and even establish a restaurant that combines distribution. It is a representative "sixth industry person" in the horse industry. Although she is a woman, she has lived in the rough horse industry for 20 years, so she knows everything. She even explains her age, breed and quality of meat just by looking at the appearance of horses that eat feed on feed.

Back then, most farmers were just slaughtering horses. Maintaining freshness was important, but freshness was always left behind due to the culture of not sharing meat, including liver and intestines. He decided that rather than selling high-quality horse meat alone, restaurants in the province would have to sell fresh meat to coexist. About five years after running the restaurant, he started distributing horse meat to promote fresh horse meat. Transportation, slaughter, and expenses at the venue were "free service" to the restaurant and sharing only the price of meat. He was under tax audit, and when he caught sales of 10 million won per horse, he fined him. He struggled to revitalize horse meat, shared meat and managed it transparently, but the tax authorities were reckless. Even if I explained it, it didn't work. I cried a lot at the unfairness.

Just as she insisted on natural raw fish, she was faithful to the basics. It was pitiful. The principle is to offer fresh and high-quality horse meat to customers. When horse meat comes in, it should be sold within 15 days. If the caught meat is left for a long time, it is not fresh, so the meat was sold cheaply or the meat was made as a child and distributed to customers. People around me dissuaded me from offering expensive meat, but I stuck to the principle. A year later, customers lined up. The White Horse Restaurant was well-known for delicious, fresh, and high-quality horse meat on the table, and word of mouth was fast. Fresh beef sashimi was also provided free of charge to customers. When the kitchen managers who handled the cattle came, they said, "Do as I do.

He has worked in France for three years since 2013. After working in various countries, he is now in charge of funeral parlors and horseback riding. His father was largely influenced by his involvement in the funeral parlour. His father was a famous assistant teacher and funeral parlour since the 1950s. "He was very inspired by his father. He is still doing his funeral parlour by hitting his tools even though he is 83 years old," he said. "As a funeral parlour, I also want to live my life with a constantly learning attitude like my father." When asked how he felt when he saw Korean horse racing as a foreign funeral parlour, he said, "He is passionate about Korean horse racing. I can feel that not only horse racing fans but also those involved really love and like horse racing.

For example, all the things that would have been easy to do if the horse-riding auction had been held at Jangsu Ranch, which was equipped with auction facilities, were all things to be noted here. From the installation of horse-riding and temporary horse-riding to the management of the horses' movements. Still, I think it is a great harvest that such a large horse race was installed inside the fair for the first time in Korea, and various performances ranging from horse-riding gymnastics to dressage shows were held and received great response. There were difficulties, but in the end, I was able to hold the fair well because of your cooperation. In Korea, there has never been such a large indoor horse race inside the exhibition hall. Since there is little experience in holding horse-related events in Korea,

Many events have been held mainly in Gwacheon, but I think we should go in that direction if we can hold them in other regions. However, it is necessary to select the exhibition area in the future by examining and considering the improvements made through this fair. The horse industry has a single field and has been thinking a lot about how to decorate the horse industry fair, a big event. We tried to make sure that events and projects that differ in timing and place could be held at KINTEX in the second week of October. It was to create as much synergy as possible for the fair. However, it was not easy to combine several independent events. As each situation is different, there were so many things to pay attention to from schedule adjustment to movement management.

Therefore, the intention was that this time it should be an "industry-oriented fair." I thought about how it would help participating companies' businesses and what it would support them. In addition, it was expected that information sharing among participating companies would help develop the horse industry on its own. Therefore, I prepared this fair thinking that it should be regarded as an fair attended by companies related to the horse industry. In addition, it was also intended to introduce cultural contents related to horses. It was judged that the cultural industry is an industry and that it would be more meaningful and successful if there are various things to see and enjoy rather than a simple industrial exhibition. There was also a message from the chairman, Si Sung-kwan, that it would be better to reinforce the contents of horse culture.

Companies that participated in the industrial fair should be the center, but if it is held inside, there may be cases of interference. The fair itself could have been seen as part of an event held at a racetrack. There was also a concern that the main visitors would be fixed as those who visited Let's Run Park Seoul to enjoy horse racing rather than the general public. Also, Let's Run Park Seoul must install the facilities on outdoor sites, not on specialized exhibition facilities. As such, it is inferior in terms of exhibition infrastructure. After thinking about which measures could help promote horse industry-related companies, he came to Ilsan KINTEX thinking that it would be of great help if he used specialized exhibition facilities. The first fair in 2010 had to be satisfied as the first fair held for the first time due to the short preparation period,

In a broad sense, there are three reasons. The fact that it is a rare international youth competition, that pony auctions are held together, and that private horse racing grounds are the center of the horse industry special zone played a major role. It was notable that international youth competitions are not common and that pony auctions are held together. The reason why the foundation of the Korean horse industry is weak is that most of the horses are imported, and I thought that the opening of the pony auction was meaningful because it is a process in which the foundation for production and trade is being established. In addition, private horse racing grounds must be activated in order to expand the base of the horse industry, and it was considered a lot that such events will be held in Icheon, a special horse industry zone.

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,

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,

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.

The current situation in the agricultural industry is a crisis, but since agriculture is a life industry, we need groundbreaking policies and national support to revive our life industry and maintain stable farm income and rural communities." Referring to the need to change the philosophy of agricultural policy and introduce an innovation system, he said, "The people should highlight the justification of government support, citing the need for a price for farmers' efforts to strengthen their public functions," adding that it is a time when the role of the National Agricultural Forum as well as farmers' organizations and civic groups is expected. After the public interest function of agriculture will be specified in the Constitution, the task of establishing a foundation for national agriculture and establishing and developing a new policy philosophy will be given, he said.

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.
