When the Chilgok plant is completed, it is expected that it will meet the demand for Gyeongju's retirement horses in Let's Run Park Busan and Gyeongnam and Yeongcheon. Since it is a company specializing in waste disposal, we need to establish a system and foundation to handle even dead horses. I think it is most urgent to turn horses into resources. There is no way to dispose of them, let alone support them, so they call a forklift and secretly bury them in the ground. It is because there is a company that handles cattle and pigs, but it is expensive, and there is no basis for handling horses. When I cut it, the meat usually weighs 180 kg, but the feed factory says it cannot pay more than 4,000 won per kilo. It is 500,000 won per two including transportation costs, but it is said to be expensive at the horse riding site. We will try to reduce the price to the 300,000 won mark as much as possible.

It invited officials from the horse industry in Turkmenistan, Australia, and Japan, held a grand race, and held an international symposium. It also invited Japanese experts to participate in the rehabilitation horse riding experience to bring attention to the citizens. It also exhibits industrial products such as mayu and horse meat gun, and expects more than 20,000 visitors. It was built on a 60,000-pyeong school ranch. Currently, it has 52 stalls, and various facilities to be considerate of horses are underway. As a luxury horse riding stadium facility, it will be able to play a big role in hosting various horse riding competitions in Jeju. We will also introduce facilities using experience data centers and sculptures to create a surrounding environment, a precious horse riding ground where anyone can visit, and a landmark of Jeju.

While exploring various ways to tackle the problem, the "Diversification of Use of Retired Horse" project has been launched. Meanwhile, Holstown (CEO Kim Moo-young) is headquartered in Paju, Gyeonggi Province and is preparing to set up an office in Chilgok, North Gyeongsang Province, to specialize in disposing of retired horses and all horses. This reporter interviewed Kim Moo-young, the CEO of Holstown, in Paju, Gyeonggi Province on Oct. 27. The company specializes in disposing of retired horses and abandoned horses, which was selected by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Korea Racing Authority as a "project to support diversification of use of retired horses." It is currently operating a plant in Chilgok. It plans to start operation in earnest next year. It will also push for the establishment of a farming company.

It plays a role in evaluating and deciding whether the special zone-related projects are proceeding smoothly as planned. In particular, I am a person in the academic world and examine and evaluate the expansion of educational infrastructure and its necessity. The first members of the promotion team, which will be active until December this year, need a promotion team because they need to evaluate the ongoing projects within this year. We are working hard to make Jeju Island, the first special industrial zone, a special zone at the end of the year, become a model for the special zone by focusing on consulting on policies and visiting and evaluating the site. Last year was short-lived, and there were few visitors on weekends. While promoting this year's project, we will join hands with the KRA Jeju Regional Headquarters to hold the Jeju Horse Festival with the International Horse Industry Expo 2014 in downtown Jeju, The Hotel, Let's Run Park, and Jeju.

However, for now, I am not sure what I can do and how I can help. For trainers, I believe they need to acquire advanced training skills in the future. Instead of sticking to the old skills learned from their seniors, I believe that new technologies must be learned by inviting instructors from horse society or trainer associations to become an advanced horse country that is second to none in the world. It has been several years since the law was announced, but there seems to be not much that can be done because the law has not been completed. I believe that the development of the horse industry will accelerate only when the unfinished law is completed as soon as possible rather than left as it is. The Korean Horse Association is a public enterprise, and I think privatization should be done.

Since we met each other, I have met horses. One of my high school classmates, a friend whose wife's family runs a racehorse production ranch on Jeju Island, told me that they were recruiting horses at Let's Run Park Pukyong one day. The friend said, "You are qualified, so apply for it," so we met each other without knowing what it is. That's how the relationship began, and in February this year, I majored in horse genetics in graduate school and earned my master's degree. I run a Jemagi Technology Institute in Changwon, and I am building a tentatively named Marand racehorse recreation facility, a horse riding course, and a tourist farm in Ibanseong-myeon, Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-do, with the goal of completing it next spring. Horses should be my everything. I've been ripped off a lot for leaving the existing business to my wife

Under the current Korean horse racing system, the two horses have little to do with each other. The two horses cannot be trained at the same time. Now, the two horses are being trained by the assistant or the trainer, but I believe that the two horses should be trained at their ranch or training center in the future, just like in foreign countries.Additionally, I believe that the master must understand the characteristics of his horse so that he can choose the right assistant and trainer. For instance, consider entrusting the assistant teacher, who prefers good deeds and precocious horses, with Mansukhyeong and bottom-drawing horses. Even a famous horse will be treated as a foul horse. The difference in status between the master and the trainer is, in short, the difference between A and B, since the master must entrust the trainer with the training of the horse.

The weight of horse racing will also be improved. In order to enhance international universality, the divisional unit will be subdivided, and the standard weight applied by horse racing will be switched from general racing in lower groups to horse racing. The divisional unit will be divided into semi-annual division on a monthly basis, and the division will be divided into single/medium/long-distance division from those without distinction of distance, and the weight of horse racing will be given. The race will also be reorganized to select the best horse racing by distance, age, and gender, and the race will be strengthened from now on. All Grade races that select the best horse by condition will be held as open races (16 races in 2015), and mixed open races will be open to foreign horses. In addition, the refund rate for major horse races (G1 races and triple crown races) will be raised to 80 percent.

From the beginning of the opening of Let's Run Park in Busan and South Gyeongsang Province, I started working as a horse-related person and formed a connection with horses. I knew that the horse-related qualification system would be implemented by the Horse Industry Promotion Act, so I tried from the first inning, but I failed each time. Actually, I was going to give up the test this time. At the end, I was embarrassed that I failed every time, and the horse racing officials asked me why I was taking the trainer test. They said that even though it was a written test, it was never allowed in practical practice. However, Teacher Kwon Seung-joo, who studied with me, asked me why I should give up when I was eligible for the second practical test this time, so I applied for it on the last day of application and took the test.

It helps a lot emotionally, too. I want people to heal with horses and gain consideration for life and a lot of enlightenment in the activities with horses. To do that, I want to strive for the welfare of horses. I want to study more fields, experience and experience more in practice, and continue to develop myself, rather than being stopped. I want to become a leader who has a consistent good influence in the horse industry. To this end, I am preparing to transfer to Jeju National University's physical education field. I am also thinking of going to graduate school. I want to work in teaching and research. Just as I am familiar with the use and precautions of a product when I buy a product, I hope that the days will come when Koreans will be familiar with the habits and behaviors of horses and approach them more friendly and safe.

The Racing Authority, which is in a hurry to reform the racing system, confirmed the introduction of a full-scale rating system next year. First of all, the Racing Authority will first test-introduce handicap racing based on the rating racing system to the first team from October before introducing a full-scale rating system. The introduction of the racing system is part of the international standardization of the Korean horse racing system that the Racing Authority is pushing for. It was a common system in foreign countries, but in Korea, quarterly, half-year, and annual racing horse ratings were only announced. With the introduction of this system, the ratings of racehorses will be announced every week, and the results of the race will be immediately reflected after the race of the racehorse, reflecting the trend of changes in the racing ability of the racehorses in real time.

As soon as he took the reins, he was surprised at what he was surprised by and was taken to a hospital after being hit in the abdomen by the horse's back foot while holding the lead strap. The diagnosis revealed that his pancreas was damaged. Fortunately, he did not need surgery. Instead, he underwent medication for a month and was hospitalized. After the accident, people around him reportedly felt puzzled to see me ask how the horse was doing. After the incident, he became more concerned about his safety. He looks back on dangerous behaviors he unconsciously performed, and emphasizes the importance of safety to his juniors every time. At that time, the horseriding rink covered all expenses incurred at the hospital. I would like to express my gratitude to the chairman, representative,

Lastly, I am proud of the excellent lecture by Professor Dong-hoon Lee, who has been a solid theory in the course of daily sports leaders. Our school has warm blood necessary for preparing for certification practice, an indoor racetrack where you can prepare without a hitch, and rehabilitation horse riding where you can exercise at any time. Students experience and conduct the positions of volunteers, leaders, and leaders in rehabilitation horseback riding, while also teaching assistant instructors for general experience horse riding. Another pride is the environment in which you can sharpen your practical skills and prepare for certification before going out to society. This happened when I went to the horse riding course during the summer vacation of the first year. There was a case where I was seriously injured due to my carelessness.

First, Professor Park Geum-ran, dean of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is engaged in various activities related to rehabilitation riding. While serving as an academic director at the Korean Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Association, he will give lectures on creative theories and practical skills necessary for classes through overseas training related to rehabilitation horseback riding. Professor Choo Ho-geun is currently serving as a judge in the horseback riding world. He is still playing as a player. He teaches us the general elements related to horseback riding in class and allows us to experience it. Above all, he is a warm mentor. Professor Seung-joo Kwon is currently an assistant teacher at Let's Run Park Pukyong, and he gives us new news and information through lectures, so he gives us the lectures we want to continue listening to even after graduation.

Now that I am about to graduate, I feel a little awkward that I do not have a tight schedule and plan like I did when I was in school. I think I need constant self-development and study in the future. If I had special know-how in preparing for qualifications, I prepared to become familiar with the test and test site by preparing for writing and practical skills for all certificates related to horses. In addition, I went to the training center recommended by the professors every vacation and thought that I was the owner of the horse riding center by increasing my practical experience. It seems that I had more fun and memorable learning because I studied horse-related laws and horse health management. Above all, I would like to thank Professor Chu Ho-geun for his experience, Professor Geum-ran Park, Jeong-soo Ryu, and Seung-joo Kwon for their professional theories and experiences.

To this end, it has finally announced its vision to complete the "cooperative-oriented rural horse riding industry" by fostering related industries such as medical, tourism and education with professional manpower. The Korea Racing Authority is pushing for a reorganization of the racing system to strengthen the competitiveness of Korean racing, drawing keen attention. Recently, the Korea Racing Authority announced a plan to strengthen the competitiveness of Korean racing through the reorganization of the racing system at a workshop for related organizations such as the Face-to-face Association and the Producers' Association. The Korea Racing Authority said at the meeting that the Korean Racing Authority is on beleaguered road due to the government's consistent regulatory policy, the media that report in Han-geon-style, the people's prevailing negative views, and the growth of legal competition industries, and that it is working on ways to strengthen its competitiveness to overcome this.

Before graduating from high school, I decided to get a job and attended an editorial design course for six months. After graduating from high school, I worked as an advertising company and freelancer for nearly two years in Seoul and Jeju Island. I wanted to know about horses that I first encountered in Jeju. So, I recklessly joined the racehorse production team at Sung Isidol Ranch and worked for about two months. Working at Jeju Airport, where working conditions were good, whenever I was off, I went to the horse rink to help me work and rode a horse to ride a rehabilitation horse, and I thought I wanted to study horses and rehabilitation horses properly. With the introduction of the horse-riding instructor I knew at the time, I met Professor Kwon Seung-joo. During the interview,

Masayo Ihara, president of Japan's International Association for the Disabled, said in a presentation on the theme of "Korea Horse Racing Industry's Benchmarking Strategy for Japan," "Horse riding is an exercise that has been proven effective in mental and physical treatment through communication with horses as well as exercise effects." The second task is to establish a foundation for the rural horse racing industry centered on cooperatives. The detailed task was to establish a comprehensive support center for the horse industry in Jeju and to foster key union personnel and leading union members through education. The central association is striving to create a hub for the horse industry of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, and the cooperative has differentiated the roles of each institution by dividing it into operating rural horse racing facilities and supporting the production of horses for its members.

The reason I asked for an interview with the Horseback Industry Journal is that it is a media company that understands the situation in the horseback riding industry more than other media companies. I don't think I will do any more interviews at the athletes' council. The perception that horse riding is an aristocratic sport has declined a lot, but it is a pity that horse riding is considered bad and sold due to the Choi Soon-sil incident. Not only horseback riding but also all sports and the sports industry itself are on the back foot. It is hoped that not only young athletes who ride horses but also many others will have more opportunities to experience horseback riding. Woo Jung-ho, president of the National Federation of Horseback Riding Athletes, asked for an interview with the newspaper, pointing out that support is needed for athletes' protection and training,

Whatever the group, Samsung and Hanwha, paid 1.5 billion won, 1.6 billion won a year, applied for the association, or did, it helped the players. Horseback riding is an event without government support, so you can't compete without a company sponsoring it, and it's hard to participate in the Olympics.Until now, the chairman's office has been handled by the Korea Racing Authority, Hanwha, and Samsung. Because the company continued to support the money there, the association was able to run and host matches. You might say that 1.5 billion won is small, but if you pay for it every year, the company should be considerable. Although the Korea Racing Authority is said to be a company related to horses, the company's former chairman liked horseback riding, and applied. It would not be easy for Samsung and Hanwha to take over the chairman's office of the Horse Racing Authority in another company that has nothing to do with horses. We are athletes.

Most athletes start exercising with the ambition of winning medals in the Olympics and Asian Games. I don't think I'll just go to college while riding. Students who go to college and compete in the next Asian Games will participate in school classes and exercise with the dream of trying out for the next Asian Games. In preparation for the Olympics, he applied from various fields, starting with the off-season training. Because Samsung spent money and provided support for the development of horseback riding, we were able to participate in the Olympics and Asian Games and win a medal. After the Olympics, we can go out and guide other athletes and deliver their know-how, which is huge. All horseback riders know that Samsung has developed a lot in horseback riding. No matter how much sports you wear only panties and hold shoes, development is difficult without sponsors.

How good is it for us to ask the equestrian for an apology from the president? And I fully understand the news conference about the fact that they suffered damage due to Choi Soon-sil. Isn't it unfair from their point of view that executive director Park Won-oh came down and said something while the referee was watching? I hope that one person, Jeong Yu-ra, will not harm Amon's special athletes. Most of the students exercise since they were young and still take time out of school. All special athletes don't do it like Jeong Yu-ra. I have a friend who goes to college among the students I teach now. I go to Hanyang University, but I can't come today. Tomorrow, he takes classes, and he comes to exercise after 3 p.m. He takes classes, and he comes to exercise even if it's late in the afternoon. Most of them are like that. Few athletes quit school.

This is the part that demanded the resignation of Samsung, the current chairman of the Horse Racing Association. The players are grateful for the fact that a large company called Samsung supports them as the chairman of the Horse Racing Association. Horse racing is an unpopular sport, but it has invested in and contributed to the development of Korean horse racing. If Samsung steps down from its chairman's position right now, how will the horse racing association operate right away and how will next year's competition be held? It is nonsense to just demand Samsung's resignation without any countermeasure. He did not think about our horse-riding athletes and horse-riding people. What they said at the press conference was not all of us horse-riding people, but as victims. They are not integrating the opinions of all horse-riding people.
