I actually started my career as a trainer when I debuted in Malaysia in 2010, but I have been connected with horses and living with them for quite a long time.Korean horse racing is showing a great deal of progress right now. Even compared to three years ago, the horses’ language, the trainers’ techniques, and the jockeys’ riding abilities have improved significantly. It can be said that the overall level of Korean horse racing has improved.What is especially encouraging is that excellent foreign stallions are being introduced. Recently, the Korea Racing Authority and racehorse producers have been importing high-quality stallions from the United States, which will also greatly contribute to the development of Korean horse racing.

With more horses of good pedigree, we can also expect strong results.Recently, the composition of visitors to the racecourse has become more diverse, including not only horse racing fans but also families accompanied by young children and young people visiting with partners or friends. I think it is currently in the process of becoming a healthy leisure sport. To bring about greater change, rather than focusing solely on horse racing, using horses as a medium for the general public to watch and enjoy is also a viable approach. Ordinary people should be able to come and go naturally and without hesitation.

Golf, considered a nearby leisure sport, makes good use of this. In the past, golf instructors would pressure their clients by boasting that they were former players while teaching.However, as golf became more popular and widespread, the market grew and competition intensified. In addition, as consumers’ understanding of golf has improved, the industry has shifted from focusing on brands to a more customer-centric approach. The equestrian industry could do better by paying a little more attention and following suit, but they are not making such efforts.

In Europe and Malaysia, there are many races held on turf in addition to those on sandy courses. Korea still does not have a main grass track. If that is the difference.There are also slight differences in the racing style. In Korea, there are many attempts to take the lead early in the race. I try to stand at the front whenever possible. However, Europe has a variety of styles, from front-runners to closers and free-running horses.My entire family has deep ties to horses. My grandfather and father worked as trainers in Ireland, and other family members also have horse-related jobs such as trainers and jockeys.

Relevant organizations should establish standards for industry standardization, and educational institutions such as schools should ensure that standardized services are provided to consumers through the development of active educational programs. Only then can the overall image of the horse industry improve and continue to develop.When you visit a riding club, they are quick to belittle others, claiming they are the best. But that's just self-sabotage. Rather, they should start by improving basic facilities like changing rooms and showers,

Whether you are abroad or in a regional area, as long as you have the will, you can learn. If you want to learn about the Korean language industry, you are not limited by spatial constraints, even in countries like China and Southeast Asia. Since the courses can be conducted from a distance, instructors currently teaching can earn their master's degrees without having to come to the classroom. And it is also possible to graduate by completing major courses instead of a thesis.The master's program in the 'Horse Industry,' launching this fall,

There is no special secret. Fortunately, I think I met some wonderful owners and horse trainers. If there is a secret to my success, it seems to be that I met wonderful people who have helped me a lot around me. Our group uses an Irish source called 'Red Mill,' which I personally like. The teaching style is no different from that of other groups. But I’ll keep training them consistently. Other Korean squads take two weeks off or work in intervals, but our Demon King’s Guard starts training immediately after just 2 to 3 days.

Of course not. We will invite top experts from the horse industry to conduct the classes. Someone who has both skill and reputation. Since it is a graduate program, it would likely be for someone with a master's degree or higher. Some may question the absence of a curriculum. This may be a point of misunderstanding for some, but the basic curriculum of our graduate school is well established. It is well structured, segmented into marketing, services, distribution, facility management, events, and more. They are integrating the 'horse industry' to specialize in this.

It seems that the Korea Racing Authority is doing a good job of strengthening competitiveness right now. For example, they are doing a good job of hosting international competitions like the 'Korea Cup' in Korea or sending Korea's top racehorses on tours to places such as Dubai and Singapore. If we increase contact with international horse racing in this way, there is a good chance it will work.First of all, I regret the recent horse trainer incident that occurred at LetsRun Park Busan-Gyeongnam. The working hours of speech therapists abroad are also very similar to those in Korea. However, since they receive a portion of the prize money, the treatment of Korean horse trainers is relatively good.

He says that through speaking, he has been inspired more by poetry.Master’s program candidates will mainly be equestrian instructors and operators in the horse industry, as well as workers in related organizations or associations. A leader can be either a former athlete or an instructor. It is essential for those who want to run a business. Through advanced courses in the master's program, students can further develop their expertise, and after completing graduate school, they can apply what they have learned in the field.

For an industry to develop, the number of experts in that field must increase. In that regard, establishing a graduate master's program specialized in the 'word industry' is highly meaningful.The major in Horse Industry Management comprehensively covers a wide range of fields, including professional and recreational sports, rehabilitation, facilities, equipment, fashion, and tourism. The training focuses on horses, covering topics from marketing and services to rehabilitation training using medicine. The more applicants for the 'Horse Industry Management' major there are, the more courses tailored to the major will be added.

Starting this fall semester, the first master's program in the 'horse industry' in Korea will be launched. I led this effort while studying the Department of Sports Industry at Sejong University's Graduate School of Industry. The Department of Sports Industry offers four majors: Equine Industry Management, Sports Marketing, Sports Medicine, and Leisure Sports Tourism. I began to feel that I was truly blinded by the word, and that I wanted to develop the horse industry into a genuine industry.

Professor Kim, who says he has become more inspired by poetry since he began learning horseback riding, is actually a marketing education expert with no connection to the horse industry.Although he began as an expert in a field unrelated to the horse industry, he has worked diligently as an educator, sharing the appeal of equestrianism with CEOs and opinion leaders to help establish a healthy equestrian culture. Starting this September, the university will launch the country's first master's program specializing in the 'horse industry' at the graduate level.

By consistently doing training, I feel I’m getting injured less than if I were pushing myself too hard with wet training in short bursts before races. Since trainers Kim Young-kwan, Baek Gwang-yeol, and Ahn Woo-sung are doing well these days, I will work hard too.I don't know much about the overall system of LetsRun Park Seoul. However, at LetsRun Park Seoul, the stable is operated at the association level, while at LetsRun Park Busan-Gyeongnam, it is run by individuals, so Busan seems more competitive. Seoul has a small and tight feel to its main roads, whereas Busan’s main roads feel much larger and more linear.

Among the second-generation horses, 'Yeonghui Era' and 'Gyeongju’s Bucket' are drawing attention. 'Younghee Era' is a horse that can perform well going forward with a 2-0 record in the third race, and 'Gyeongju’s Bucket Hat' is also a horse that continues to develop, so their futures are promising. Wishimiruk is also on a two-game winning streak in the second team and is now playing in the first team, so there is a chance. Although 'Party Again' and 'Invincible Wonderful' are only three years old, they are already capable enough to be considered first-class, as they are currently on a break.
