When Chairman Jang Tae-pyeong suddenly resigned in September 2013, he acted as the chairman for three months, holding big events such as the first Pegasus Festival and the 2013 parliamentary audit. When he left office in May 2014, he said, "I had a lot of difficulties in the horse society after taking office, but I'm sorry that I didn't play my role," and added, "I wish the Korean horse society the endless development just as all the employees of the horse society have overcome difficulties and developed Korean horse racing." Since then, he has preached the importance of youth horseback riding in the field while working as a visiting researcher at the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Research Institute, and he also challenged the 36th Korean Horse Association President's contest last year.

Instructor Serimachi was born in the year of the dog in 58 years, and he scolded me a lot by teaching me. There were many times when I was not young, and I wondered why I should be scolded at this age. However, I endured and worked hard for my goal with the strong will of Korean people. I tried to be better than young Japanese athletes. Doing so, at some point, Serimachi began to recognize me as a student, and now I live as if I were a friend. The main content is the process of converting a love red used for running into a horseback riding. It is to learn how to train a horse so that a person can run comfortably and safely. It is said that high-class education will be conducted from next year, the fourth year of the race. In order for a love red to be converted into a dressage horse, I need to know dressage, so I learned dressage myself from Serimachi.

Currently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry or the horse society is investing a lot for the development of horse-riding, but I think that could be counterproductive. The market should leave it to the market. To be honest, it is difficult to run the horse-riding course. However, amid such difficulties, the market should research, develop, and develop it yourself. This means that front-line horse-riding rinks should not be obsessed with support. If you apply, would you have a hard time teaching horse-riding to each member to make money, or would you like to get support from the government? What can you do if you say you stop supporting me right now? You have to find an alternative to that. If you don't make your own efforts, you will definitely have difficulties. The horse industry is a bit mixed up right now, but someday there will be a stage where it will be sorted out.

The revision of the National Sports Promotion Act, which regulates online sports gambling, calls for imprisonment of up to 10 years for illegal online sports gambling opening, fines of up to 100 million won, and fines of up to seven years for illegal online sports gambling and fines of up to 70 million won. The revision of the Korean Horse Association Act sharply strengthened the opening of illegal horse racing gambling with imprisonment of up to 10 years for more than six months or a fine of up to 100 million won.Representative Yoon Sang-hyun said, "The current gambling regulation is a very low level of criminal deterrence as the upper limit is insignificant even if most gambling crimes are fined or imprisoned or fined," adding, "In particular, online sports gambling, which is operated illegally, is a serious social problem as it is rapidly spreading to an unspecified number of people, including teenagers, due to high refund rates, unlimited betting, and anonymity without certification procedures."

What is especially encouraging is that excellent foreign seed horses are being introduced. Recently, the Korea Racing Authority (KRA) and racehorse producers have been introducing superior seed horses from the United States into Korea, which will greatly contribute to the development of Korean horse racing. As the number of good horses in pedigree has increased, good results can be expected. Recently, the composition of people visiting the horse racing park has diversified to include family customers accompanied by young children and young people who came to play with lovers or friends, in addition to horse racing fans who enjoy horse racing. I think it is currently a process of transforming into a healthy leisure sport. In order to bring about a bigger change in this process, it is also necessary to use horses so that the general public can see and enjoy horse racing rather than focusing on horse racing. The general public should be able to come and go naturally without hesitation on a daily basis.

However, after all the hard work, I started to make a surplus in the horse racing course. First of all, I tried to visit local police stations and education offices to learn about horse riding. And we talked a lot about the effects of horse riding and how we can 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 horseback 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 racing course as Hallama, saying not to be funny. At the time, I didn't have a single love red. In the end, it proved that I was right.

Horseback riding courses offer ways to generate profits on their own. In order to generate profits in the horse-riding industry, the demand for horse-riding is important, and most horse-riding courses are currently only looking at projects supported by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and the horse-riding community. It is the student horse-riding project, the horse-riding special zone support project, etc. It is advising you to develop your own demand. There will be many if you make educational creative experiences, disabilities, healing horse-riding, etc., but there are many places that are not doing it at all. The Ministry of Education supports the name 'student' for educational activities, but only the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry is looking at it. In addition, rural tourism horse-riding projects in connection with travel agencies are in their infancy, but local horse-riding grounds are losing power as they are being torn apart.

Of course. The horse racing industry is a distinct sector of the gambling industry, such as cycling and casinos. 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 rate of refund of horse racing and resuming the sale of Internet betting tickets, which has been blocked since 2009, the horse racing industry will naturally be activated. I hope many horse racing fans will be interested. 150,000 horse racing enthusiasts must also pay a lot of attention to it, otherwise it will be impossible to realize it. We ask that you actively participate and pay attention to find the minimum rights of horse racing fans. Lee Dong-wook, director of the Korea Racing Fan Association, said,

Most people think horse racing is a gamble. However, in fact, there are quite a few people who enjoy horse racing as a leisure in our lives. If the horse racing environment and culture are improved so that horse racing can be enjoyed as a leisure, and the horse racing industry is revitalized through this, 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 legislation. Many people, including horse racing fans, signed on, and I hope that the next government will make horse racing a leisure time with the will of those who signed it. Above all, I look forward to the day

Horse racing is a sport that can be enjoyed as a leisure time. This opportunity was brought today to improve the negative image of horse racing, which is perceived by people as gambling, even though horse racing can be fully enjoyed as a leisure. In addition, it is to create a forum for public debate about tax issues that are disadvantageous to our horse racing fans and the reintroduction of online ticket sales. I quit the online ticket sale in 2009, but I thought that such a forum would be necessary to implement the online ticket sale again. The submitted data included an increase in the horse racing refund rate, an improvement in excessive horse racing taxes, and a call for the reissue of online ticket sales.

What is unfortunate is that it should have been agreed upon, policies were prepared, the association operated properly, and policy subsidies were received, but two years were passed due to internal strife. It also failed to win the national project. As a result, it is a burden to convert Hallama into a horseback riding. However, I will continue to help. In the case of Jeju Island, soon there will be a site within the Chukjinwon and a training center for horseback riding in Seogwipo. If these facilities are utilized well, it seems that Hallama can settle down as a horseback riding. Due to the habit of running, it is highly risky to kill a racehorse as a passenger horse. The number of Hallama running races keeps decreasing. It can be produced as a horseback riding from the beginning.

There is some massage space near Jeju in Let's Run Park. It's not a racehorse but a place where outside horses come in, so you can use the place and the main area to receive training. As the second stage, Let's Run Farm is good. You can build a part of the massage there so that Jeju horses can join the company, receive training, and then come back after training in the main area. For farmers who are not well-equipped, the Jeju Horse Producers Association has secured a certain amount of provincial funds and operates the Seongeup Sewageo. The facility is being renovated. A mid- to long-term roadmap has been established, but infrastructure is required for the entry standards to be implemented according to the process. Of course, it's not just about building infrastructure and drawing.

Since last year, the provincial government, the Jeju Horse Producers Association, and the Korea Horse Association gathered to carry out the project. It was in its early stages, but the special zone funds were not sufficiently supported by persuading the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry to go up to the Ministry of Strategy and Finance. It secured 400 million won in state funds and 400 million won in provincial funds through other routes, but the project was in a situation where it could not be used due to various internal regulations and legal problems. In the case of Love Red, horse racing funds are used, but Jeju horses cannot be used. If training is done well, good race horses will be created and eventually the competitiveness of the horse racing society will be strengthened. After all, we are the beneficiaries.

In the case of an aging farmhouse, even though the process of training the tail teeth is good when they are young, they cannot participate and are culled because they cannot do it themselves. Graduates who have learned such a process and manual at school professionally carry out the process. For example, after graduating, a student who has gone through a training course contracts with 15 farms and regularly visits the horses and trains them according to their needs and process. Instead of joining the racetrack or staying for a long time and paying consignment management fees, the plan is to pay them a training fee so that horses can be used. We are working well with the school to proceed together. The level of infrastructure is low in the case of farmers. Riding without a roof reduces the horse's concentration.

If possible, I try to be ahead. However, there are various styles in Europe, such as chuipma and free horse, which are played from the rear rather than the style of a good horse. My family has a deep relationship with horses. My grandfather and father taught as assistants in Ireland, and other family members have jobs related to horses, such as assistants and jockeys. I have actually been an assistant since my debut in Malaysia in 2010, but it has been a long time since I have been living with horses. Korean horse racing is showing a lot of progress now. Compared to three years ago, the level of horses, the assistant's teaching skills, and the rider's ability to ride have improved considerably. It can be said that the overall level of Korean horse racing has improved.

Kim Jong-kook, the head of the horse racing division, emphasized the importance of customized services and Internet betting to improve the image of the horse racing industry in the field and by publishing the theory and practice of horse-riding voting business in April 1995, and obtained a master's degree thesis in 2003 with a study on how to introduce Internet marketing in the Korean horse racing industry. Since the 2007 Sea Story incident, various policy reports related to the comprehensive plan for sound development of the gambling industry have also been published, and in August, he obtained a doctorate in policy studies with "a study on the process of policy change in the gambling industry regulation by a policy network model."

You may question the effectiveness of the standard manual. So, we designated a demonstration farm. Four farms with facilities and motivation were designated among the producers. I selected 24 from four farms and they are actually training them according to the manual.Jeju National University, which produced the training manual, and staff of the pilot farm meet once a month to show results and refine the manual for difficulties. After some time, the horse is produced according to the manual. It tracks the data and compares horses that have been trained at the pilot farm with other horses according to their age. It will track how early the race will be and how good their performance will be after the race will be. Knowing that it will be effective in other farms, it is hoped that it will spread to other farms soon.

The problem was that they made all the materials and said, "I made this. Please attend," but there was something that the farmers didn't come and didn't know. Even so, I couldn't let it go. After creating the manual for the first time and thinking about how it could be used in the actual field, I chose two policies. First, the staff personally visits the farm to let me know, shows that there is such a thing, and makes me attend the entire training. So this year, I am visiting all the farms one by one to share the news of the manual production and show the video through CDs. It is not just at the racetrack or just to announce it, but it is also visiting and demonstrating farms that are the size of the East and West regions in person. It is showing the actual training. As I did so, many farmers around me attended.

Last year, he drew a roadmap out of mid- to long-term racing resource management measures to strengthen competitiveness of Jeju horse racing. Horses that have not been trained or evaluated at all now also enter the racehorse. It takes about 90 days from the start of training to the race. We can't keep taking this system. Step by step, some of the horses that had finished the starting test at first are allowed in. The next step is to let only horses that have passed the 100% start test be allowed in. Then some who passed the driving test come in, and then only horses that have passed 100% come in. We have prepared a system in which if they pass on the day of employment, they come to a racehorse and send them back home if they fail. The horses that are trained and trained are the horses that have passed the minimum driving test.

First of all, we have prepared a 'school system' that systematically conducts production from the production process. Last year, we first reviewed good research data on how to produce Thoroughbred and foster it before and after. There are many data related to Thoroughbred in foreign countries and Korea, but none of them were Jeju horses. Standards related to Thoroughbred could not be applied to Jeju horses. Therefore, last year, a standard manual for production, fostering, and training, and specification management suitable for Jeju horses, was created. Second, a mid- to long-term roadmap was drawn so that it did not end with making and distributing manuals. Just as the study pattern is determined according to the university entrance examination system, it is important to set conditions and directions for joining a racehorse.

The front-line horse riding industry has not yet reached the level that requires professional management consulting. When you go to the horse industry for consulting, you don't ask for consulting for the purpose of management. Most of them ask about the requirements of the government-supported project and how it is possible to install it. It is never a matter of management. In fact, consulting on operation is an element of management management, and you have to actually ask and answer these aspects of specification and production, but that is not the case. There may be some manpower, but the level of consumers did not reach it.

I don't know much about the overall system of Let's Run Park Seoul. However, Busan seems to be more competitive because Let's Run Park Seoul operates horse shops at the association level, and Let's Run Park Pukyeong operates private horse shops. Mainly, Seoul feels small and tight, and Busan feels large in a straight line. There is no special secret. Luckily, I met good faces and horse managers. I think the secret is meeting good people who many people around me. My group uses Irish feed called 'Red Mill' and it's okay for me personally. There is no particular difference in teaching style from other groups. However, they are constantly teaching. In the case of other Korean groups, they take two weeks off or teach at regular intervals, but in our Mabang, they do it right after two or three days.
