Korean horse racing has undergone tremendous changes in a short period of time in terms of culture, and is still changing to a positive aspect.

Since the Korean Horse Association, which is the parent company, is a public enterprise, the Let's Run Foundation's policy is set by the national government and the mission of the Korean Horse Association. However, the first horse racing in Korea was born to raise funds to encourage horse racing, and participants participated in horse racing to donate.

With the horse meat distribution market completely collapsed, consumers should be given the right to know and be able to choose and eat it themselves.Kang Dong-woo, president of the Hanlama Producers Association, said that for Hanlama to succeed as a riding horse, a clear establishment of its pedigree must come first. He emphasized that, following this year, he would make establishing the bloodline his top priority again next year and do his utmost to brand Hallama.

Secretary-General Kim, who dreams of a "better tomorrow with horses," is expressing his ambition that the Let's Run Foundation will play a big role in expanding practical social contribution projects to provide practical help to the socially vulnerable, rather than donations based on various tangible and intangible assets of the Korean Horse Association while faithfully keeping the purpose of the Let's Run Foundation, which marks its second anniversary, and also meets with Secretary-General Kim Hak-shin, who dreams of a "better tomorrow with horses."

However, based on my personal thoughts, I don’t think Jeju’s horse industry should collapse. As far as I know, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry budget related to the end-of-year industry is not at all secured for Jeju Province.It is a problem with the livestock breed labeling of horse meat sold in Jeju Island. About 1,100 heads are slaughtered each year, of which roughly 60% are Deoreobred, 30% are Hallama, and 10% are Jeju horses. It is proposed to indicate exactly what breed of horse meat it is.

It is intended to revive the spirit that participation in horse racing betting is for donations. When categorizing the types of social contribution projects, there are three stages: one stage where donations are limited, two stages where volunteering is made along with donations, and three stages: donation and volunteer participation and social value creation. Our Let's Run Foundation is currently in the process of transitioning to the third stage. Based on the Korean Horse Association and related organizations, the Let's Run Foundation will continue its active social contribution program using horses and through talent donation by horse officials. A "better tomorrow with horses" is never a dream. The Let's Run Foundation thinks that a world where words make all people happy is tomorrow. Personally, I think I am extremely lucky to have the opportunity to work as the secretary-general.

Korea Racing Authority to include it in next year’s budget and requesting their help, but I received no response. And it was not included in the budget proposal to be submitted to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry by September 30. At the time of the agreement, both the Korea Racing Authority and Jeju promised active cooperation, but now they are all acting as if they don’t care. It must never be like this. As the chairman representing the Hallama-producing farmers, I will go to the very end to receive the support funds.

Can’t the central or local government provide support just because they don’t have 500 million won in the budget.The greatest external difficulty is that internal conflicts have spread outward, causing us to be largely excluded from the institutions and organizations with which we should coexist. Securing next year’s budget is urgent, and we ask for the active cooperation of the relevant organizations and groups.It's not going well. Since Hallama was expelled from the racetrack,

Jeju Provincial Office, and other relevant agencies will seriously consider policies and support measures that will benefit farming households. If producers ask within the association what they are getting from it, there is nothing we can answer. First of all, not only was there a lack of support for the association to carry out any projects, but there were also difficulties in communication. Jeju horses pay 100,000 won each time a horse is born as funds for breeding, but Halla horses have none of that.

During the 2014 Gyeonggi Province Governor's Cup, I dressed up in special clothes and won, so I dressed up in purple again this time to cheer for Pinot Noir. This horse is named after my favorite wine, and I should go for a cup of Pinot Noir with the people who cheered for me today. I didn't expect much, but I think I got a good result because I had consistently experienced racing. The Dong-A Ilbo had a short distance, so I was worried that I might be catching up. I saw that this race has strength because it is a long distance of 2,000M, and I even expected to win the championship. I am happy to win for two consecutive games, and I hope it has brought a little joy to the horse racing fans. Due to the slow initial flow, I decided that the jockey might be able to take the lead and displayed a moving development.

For example, when building a barn, about 60% is supported at the provincial level. However, many primary industry producers do not even receive that support because they have no money. If the province provides 50 million won in support, farmers producing horses who have no money would still have to cover about 50 to 60 million won out of pocket, which would be a huge burden. That doesn’t mean the price of horses is rising, but it keeps falling, so there is a lot to worry about.

If given the opportunity, there is a desire to hold not only domestic competitions but also international ones. Malaysian international judges attended this competition and showed positive reactions upon seeing Hallama. Through exchanges with many overseas equestrian professionals, we also aim to create opportunities for Hallama to be exported abroad. All of this ultimately points toward the development of the domestic horse industry, and it is also a way to immediately increase the income of farmers producing Hanlama.

Next year, just like this year, we plan to focus on establishing the pedigree and move forward in earnest. We are currently preparing to open a call for operators of a horse training hub center within the Jeju Livestock Promotion Institute, and if we can secure one, it is expected to accelerate the establishment of Hallama’s pedigree. We have already secured two trainers, and we plan to prepare thoroughly in accordance with the recruitment guidelines.In addition, a nationwide equestrian competition featuring Hanlima will also be held.

Even when holding a competition, there can be differences in thinking among people, and in that process, misunderstandings can arise. The second round of the competition was the result of applying to the Korea Racing Authority’s call for additional selections for recipients of the horse industry development support project held last November. It will be held under the same rules and format as the first tournament. I plan to put even more effort into promotion during the remaining period.

Only Hallama can participate. As stated in the regulations, all horses participating in the competition are Halla horses registered with the Halla Horse Breeders Association or the Korea Racing Authority.It is already well known that Hallama has participated in various endurance competitions and won several times. There is already a consensus on Halla’s excellence within the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the Korea Racing Authority, and the entire horse industry.

Horse racing involves trainers, jockeys, and horse caretakers, while equestrian activities are divided into riding instructors, therapeutic riding instructors, and horse caretakers.Abroad, there are all kinds of professions, including horsesmen, course designers, and saddler makers, but in our country it still feels like things are rigidly fixed.While studying horses, there are many questions and confusions, but in our country, it is not easy to find information. This is the most regrettable part.

Looking back now, at the time of graduation, I realize I can’t pick just one.Although it’s currently vacation, I go to school and ride horses whenever I can. I’ve earned the certification, but I’m not yet skilled enough to tell someone about it. First, I plan to get a job at a regular riding stable and improve my skills.In Korea, therapeutic riding is still not very well known, and there is very little information available. After studying more in the United States, I want to become an instructor who combines therapeutic riding and riding.

Since I was riding alone in a comfortable position, my posture became stiff. It was hard because it took so long to fix my stiff posture.Three weeks before the first practical exam for the certification, I injured the ligament in my big toe. I was diagnosed by the doctor with a five-week rest. It was a time when the exam was only a short while away, so I lost my composure and felt anxious and restless For three weeks, I only went to home and the hospital The day before the exam,I went to school and practiced just once with my classmates.
