For example, if you buy an expensive foreign horse for $1 million, even if you compete in a horse race in Korea and win all of them, you will not be able to find the money, but there will be some people who will pay $1 million to buy them because of the competitive edge. There is no added value in prize money in Korea, so we will turn our attention to foreign countries, and if we achieve an excellent performance in international competitions, we can improve our national prestige. I think the level of domestic horse racing will also increase. The rating system is in effect right now, so we hope that you will increase the number of special races. There is also an advantage of rating through handicap racing, but there are also people and horses who suffer damage.

Those that are currently in mixed races from the fourth grade should be divided into domestic and foreign races. Only then can domestic and foreign racehorse producers live and improve the quality of Korean horses. It is necessary to classify domestic and foreign horses up to the first grade, and to create an integrated mountain race where domestic and foreign horses can compete together in the first grade. In fact, in domestic 4th-grade races, foreign horses are often pushed back when they compete with horses that have won the 5th and 6th-grade races. This is because even a foreign horse with good pedigree is no better than a domestic horse with experience in racing. In addition, foreign horses have to compete with horses that have won from the fourth grade, and if they train too hard to match the competition, they may break down quickly.

This is because there is opposition from within the Seoul Horse Racing Association. The Korea Horse Racing Association, the implementation of horse racing, has also tried to integrate it, and even among those who are familiar with horse racing in Seoul, they say that integration is necessary. However, stereotyped opponents believe that when integrated, Busan horses will take away all the prize money. We need to lift the price limit on horses and maintain that stance. Only then can the quality of Korean racing be improved. Some elders say that prices should be tied again, which is wrong. Then we go back to the old days. The reason why domestic horses cannot be used in foreign languages such as Japan and Singapore is because there are fewer good horses due to price restrictions.

Wouldn't it be better to have a horse run at two places than to have the other person buy a horse and run at one racetrack? A horse with less speed but better endurance than Seoul is more likely to succeed in Busan, while a horse with better endurance is more likely to succeed in Seoul than in Busan. It is a waste and waste if the other side only has one chance to buy a horse by investing a lot of money. Let a horse run in Seoul that is not allowed in Busan, and let a horse run in Busan that is not allowed in Seoul. Only by integrating, the deficit can be reduced. Don't think of it as taking away the prize money. Through integration, the other side can also win the race in Busan by putting the horse in Busan and leaving it to an assistant teacher who manages the horse, and the other side can also put the horse in Seoul to win the race in Seoul.

I think this is the only thing for a stable horse industry. If this business goes well, many people can ride horses at an affordable price. Based on the knowledge I have learned, I have hunted down Thoroughbreds on farms and horseback riding courses, and then tried riding a beginner horse, but so far, there has been no particularly dangerous situation or appearance. Sometimes, the horse does not comply with what it wants. I think that the rest of the education will be sufficient to supplement it. From the standpoint of running a horse race, the cost aspect cannot be considered at all. In fact, I am studying because of those advantages. A horse lives for 30 years and racehorses usually retire at the age of 2 to 3. It's a pity in every aspect that the rest of your life is long and you can't use it. If the education for the conversion of riders to Gyeongju veterans is well established, it will have a positive effect on the horse industry as a whole.

If Pukyong and Seoul are integrated, they will be able to help resolve the deficit to some extent and improve the competitiveness of Korean racers.In the years-long integrated Busan-Seoul race, horses from Let's Run Park Busan-Gyeongnam have been performing relatively well. The reason is largely due to this. Of course, there is an element of management system, but Busan has a longer straight line than Seoul, so endurance horses perform well, while speed horses perform well in Seoul. However, the integration can also be an opportunity for the opponents, as there are many options for the opponents who purchase and compete for the horses. Currently, except for the integrated race, the Seoul race allows their horses to compete in the Let's Run Park race, and the Busan race allows only the Let's Run Park Busan race.

His belief that he could immerse himself in one area of horse racing for 45 years is the importance of fans and racehorses. "When I started teaching, I thought, 'The true owner of horse racing is for horse racing fans and racers,' and it is still the same today. I have worked with the mindset that I have to take good care of the owners." At the award ceremony, Ha Jae-heung said, "It was not easy to be selected because of strict conditions for an honorary assistant teacher. It is an honor. I expect more honorable assistants as there are many great juniors. I have already retired, but I will do my best to help the development of Korean racing," he said.

Attention is focusing on how Chairman Kim's leadership and drive will lead to results, with pending issues such as improving the treatment of managers and the integration of the Seoul-Busan Face-to-face Association at the end of this year. We have included the inauguration interview in a question-and-answer format. The Busan-Gyeongnam Horse Racing Association is a corporation that the first chairman of the Jinyoung Kim made difficult in 2006. At that time, the Korean Horse Racing Authority felt somewhat uncomfortable about the establishment of the Face-to-face Association, but it was made difficult due to the constant efforts of the first chairman, which allowed me to come to the 7th chairman. Former presidents did well, but I think what I need to do in the future is to integrate the face-to-face association between Busan and Seoul.

My wife had no relationship with horses. I met her through an introduction, and as we went on a date and hang out together, my wife naturally became familiar with horses. I bought three horses and went on a lot of dates together, but that's what I've come to this far. I gave my children a ride on a horse date, and they were happy to see each other, and things like that continued. I am grateful to my wife.He hopes that the couple will work hard together and it will be of great help to vitalize youth horseback riding, and he also has a desire to become a role model for youth horseback riding clubs in Korea. Later on, he wants to open a chain store named after our horseback riding club. He will do so passionately as he is called a "young blood" in the horse industry. Choi Tae-hoon, CEO of Yongin Pony Club, expressed his aspiration to open a chain store named after his horseback riding club.

Our horse-riding course does not even receive student horse-riding support, but it is operating well. It is because I played hard. What I felt in the field is that it is an area that has enough potential if I work hard. I started the business with three horses at the beginning, but now it is 23, including medium-sized horses. It explains the process of growing from the beginning to the present. We really ran with our bodies. There were times when it was 50,000 won a day, and there were times when it rained and ruined it. He said he was happy at the same time, even though he burned a lot, 500,000 won was spent. The reason he started like that was because he is now recognized for his efforts, certified as a sixth industry, and helped by the government, it is becoming stable.

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.

In addition, a family experience center has been established near the Cheongdo Gamwine Tunnel, a representative tourism resource in Cheongdo, to run persimmon picking, persimmon dyeing, and dried persimmon making experiences. The number of visitors has increased every year, with more than 45,000 visitors in 2017, making great achievements in raising awareness of persimmon processed products. Nature Farm Co., Ltd., purchases 1,250 tons of agricultural products annually through contract cultivation with local farmers. By receiving excellent raw materials with low-carbon agricultural and livestock product certification and excellent management certification, it produces high-quality persimmon processing products such as persimmon marlin, half-dried fish, and ice saury to revitalize the local economy.

He seems to communicate and communicate comfortably because he is a young businessman and close to his parents. While I was thinking about what to do before graduating from college, I thought about the 'children's horse riding business using pony'. Since I was young, my father has no qualms about raising animals because he runs a farm where livestock such as deer, pigs, and goats are raised, and the horseback riding I learned as an elective in college became a connection. The horse-riding instructor praised me when I saw that I learned horse-riding the same way, but I learned it faster than other friends. And at the time of the third season, the instructor even told me that he would like to help me work in the horse-riding field. While preparing for the university graduation presentation,

Currently, he runs a horse farm and a horse racing course. I taught beginners with the racing horse Thoroughbred and went to the competition again, and I thought it was dangerous. However, as I heard that there is a training for the horse race, I participated in the training last year. After receiving the training last year, I was confident that if the horse race is successful, I will be able to use it as a safe ride. That is not true. A horse race is sufficient to be used as a horse race. People who do not know much about horses may wonder what horse race is used as a horse race, but it is not. I had similar thoughts with them in the past, but I changed my mind completely.

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.

Teacher Ha Jae-heung, who is famous for his love of horses and studying assistant teacher, expressed regret over his feelings about leaving the Mabang, saying, "I can't leave my love behind." He chose "Vura," who won the Mugunghwa Cup in 1996, as the most memorable horse in his life. "Vura wanted to give up several times because she refused to enter the starting line. However, as a result of continuing her training with patience, she even won the Mugunghwa Cup," he said. "Through Vura, I learned the truth that horses pay back as much as they put their heart into it." Ha Jae-heung, an assistant teacher who recently won the Sports Chosun Cup and the Gwacheon Market Cup in 2015, said, "I didn't have an unrivaled star horse, but I always maintained the normal score. I want to be remembered as a assistant teacher who did his best, rather than the best."

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.

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.
