Knowing that other farms are also benefiting, we hope it will be distributed quickly.First, there is the problem of aging farms. Aged farming households cannot do this work even if they want to do it together. We are also discussing another suitable policy with Jeju Halla University. The professor would make the standard manual, but since he couldn’t do it alone, students came in and handled the practical work. We are planning to link the timing of these students’ graduation with job opportunities.

Jeju Halla University, which produced the training manual, and representatives from the pilot farms meet once a month to present the results and address any difficulties, refining the manual accordingly.After this process goes on to some extent, the horse created according to the manual comes out. Data tracking will be used to compare horses that have undergone training at demonstration farms with other horses, based on age. We will track and fear just how much the timing of race entries is getting earlier, and what the results are after they are entered.

Minister Yoo Ki-joon emphasized, “Since each cruise tourist spends about $1,000, it has added value comparable to processing 10 containers.” If 3 million people use it, it would generate an economic ripple effect of more than 3 trillion won annually. Moreover, if domestic residents are allowed access to shipboard casinos, the economic effect is estimated to exceed 4 trillion won.There are also considerable voices of criticism against the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries’ push to allow domestic residents to use onboard casinos.Since 2013, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries has designated the promotion of the cruise and marina industries as a key task for the ministry, and has shown a particularly strong obsession with onboard open casinos.

Last year, a roadmap was drawn in the mid- to long-term race resource management plan to strengthen the competitiveness of Jeju horse racing. Now, horses that have not been trained, and horses whose training level has not been evaluated at all, also enter directly as racehorses. It takes about 90 days from starting training here to going to the race. We cannot continue with this system.Gradually, at first, some of the horses that have completed the departure inspection are allowed in.

Second, we drew a mid- to long-term roadmap so that it would not end with simply creating and distributing a manual. Just as a study pattern is determined by the college entrance system, it is important to set the conditions and direction for joining as a racehorse. Just as it takes at least five years to reach the level of fear in the training process, we cannot do it immediately, but we will begin by signaling how the requirements for entering the racehorse industry will proceed step by step in the future, and what preparations producers and owners need to make.

First, we prepared a “school system” that organizes the production process systematically. Last year, we first reviewed good research materials on how to handle production of things like Seorabad, and how to develop them in the early and late stages. There is plenty of information about the Seorabad both abroad and in Korea, but there was not a single record of the Jeju horse. The standards related to Seorabad could not be applied to Jeju horses. So last year, we created a standard manual for production, breeding, and training suitable for Jeju horses,

In fact, the staff working at LetsRun Park Jeju had also been concerned about this issue, but there were limitations due to internal circumstances. Because there were various conflicts as the Halla horse and the Jeju horse ran together, there was no capacity to systematically invest training or energy.At the end of February 2016, with the signing of an agreement on the development of the horse industry, the obstacle to going to Jeju horse racing was removed. I couldn’t carry the Jeju horse race on like this. I had to provide products that customers wouldn’t feel embarrassed about.

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,

Since 2014, Deputy Director Kim Jin-gap, who has been in charge of Jeju race resource management at LetsRun Park Jeju, has also been making painstaking efforts over the long haul as the person in charge, developing related policies and manuals, persuading farms, and leading education efforts. On May 7, we met on site with Kim Jin-gap, head of the Race Resource Management Department at LetsRun Park Jeju, to hear about the progress, including the systematic breeding process of racehorse Jeju horses.

Marketing Headquarters, and Kim Jin-gap, head of Jeju’s Race Resource Management Department, have continued to communicate with farmers with a responsible attitude toward this important issue, constantly developing related policies and applying them on the ground.At a special zone meeting held in Jeju last June, Jeon Seong-won, head of the Win-Win Marketing Headquarters, drew attention to the central government’s interest and said, “Starting in 2023, we have set a direction with Jeju Special Self-Governing Province to develop Halla horses,

While horseback riding, I began to connect directly with the horse. As I touched and rode the horses myself, I found myself unknowingly captivated by their charm. I always read books and watched videos about horses, and I searched for various educational programs, nurturing a dream of raising a horse. After graduating from university, I happened to get a contract position at Jeju Fattening Farm. While working, I saw and learned a great deal about horses and acquired knowledge. After the contract ended, I began seriously raising the horse.

There is a lack of knowledge and experience in personnel management and government policy necessary for running a ranch. I thought I knew a fair amount of speech and had studied a lot, but raising it myself turned out to be different from what I had imagined. I had dreamed of a life where I could run and play with words and live at ease. But in reality, besides horse management, there are many tasks to do such as pasture management, facility management, and government support, so there are many difficulties.

Kim Moon-young, publisher of this paper, said, “The legal private industry is managed and supervised under relevant laws in each sector, but it is struggling under the double regulation of overlapping regulations imposed by the Private School Discrimination Investigation Act. To prevent the spread of illegal gambling, we need to strengthen the competitiveness of the legal gambling industry, so I asked Park Sung-ki, Secretary General of the Gambling Supervisory Commission, “How about changing the name of the commission to the Illegal Gambling Management and Supervision Commission to better reflect its significance in launching?”Regarding this, Secretary-General Park Sung-ki said, "If the Disciplinary Committee Act is abolished, there will be confusion among the public. It was stated that a second “Bada Story” incident could be repeated, and “In the long term, the Disciplinary Committee needs special judicial authority over illegal gambling.”

Following the keynote presentations, a panel discussion involving experts from various fields was held, where a wide range of opinions were put forward on preventing the spread of illegal gambling in Korea.Park Sung-ki, Secretary General of the Integrated Supervision Commission on Gambling, who took the floor as the first discussant, briefly introduced the background, definition, and role of the commission, and said, “Although the commission was created at its inception to eradicate illegal gambling games, during its development it was not recognized as having enforcement authority, so it ended up focusing less on cracking down on illegal gambling and more on imposing institutional regulation on the legal aspects.” Also, “A task force for cracking down on illegal gambling is scheduled to be formed soon within the Disciplinary Committee, and I am grateful that the National Assembly created this opportunity.”

Over the past five years, a horse industry project was launched as a government policy. 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.

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,

However, Daemyung is striving not only to broaden the base of equestrianism but also to maintain the original spirit of “Mayon Eohos.” We plan to continue developing the meeting of sports and culture without being swayed by any external pressures.Kim Hong-chul, the director who once served as the head coach of the national equestrian team, was seen not leaving the venue for three days in a row while the May On-a-Horse/2017 Daemyung Cup CSI3* was taking place. Before the obstacle course, he personally continued explaining the course to the audience,

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 by the public with equestrianism.

My lower body holds up better than others, and I have good strength.Compared to my debut, I’ve become less rushed and more relaxed even while racing. As my perspective broadened, I developed the insight to be prepared for whatever situation may come.It was the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Governor’s Cup Classic Horse Racing Tournament held in October 2016. I thought I had entered first riding the wave of the “Halla Yeongsan” hype, but I ended up second because of the nose difference.

As the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries pushes to allow domestic nationals to use cruise ship casinos, it is expected to have a considerable impact on the domestic legal gambling industry as well.In particular, the horse racing industry, whose revenue has been declining under the weight of negative public perception and the government’s strict regulations, which have drained its growth momentum and are being overtaken by the growth of competing gambling businesses such as sports toto, lotteries, and casinos, is highly likely to take a direct hit.Because cruise ship casinos allow customers to stay overnight for at least three days while accessing them, the outflow of horse racing customers is expected to be inevitable.

During the process of training to ride a colt, it fell together with the horse and got run over by it, getting injured. Since then, I developed aftereffects from my ankle. Even now, I can’t run at full speed. There is currently no major impact on Gyeongju, but at the time it had an impact. My ankle was swollen from a ligament tear and fracture, but because I wanted to keep riding for the race, I said I had a sprain. Limping, I tried to ride even one more horse. At that time, a full recovery was not properly achieved, so there are still slight aftereffects present now.

Moreover, when the “Act on the Promotion and Support of the Cruise Industry,” which allowed onboard cruises, was being reviewed in the National Assembly, criticism is pouring in because, when concerns about gambling were raised, he promised to “strictly limit entry to nationals,” only to reverse his position just three months later after the law passed the National Assembly this February.Discord is already arising even in coordination among government ministries. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, which oversees approval authority, bluntly stated that it has never considered allowing domestic nationals to use onboard casinos. This is because allowing domestic nationals to use casinos is prohibited under current law.

We horse racing people have many wishes. Among the world’s 49 professional horse racing countries, they attended to convey the hopes of many in the racing community, including calls for a reduction in the brutal tax that effectively exceeds 50% and for the revival of online betting. The two main points that horse racing enthusiasts, mainly in the Busan area, signed were the revival of online betting and a reduction in taxes related to horse racing.
