Kim Dong-su, president of the Korea Horse Hoof Technicians Association, was the person I met most often at the reporting site. Chairman Kim Dong-su, who first met at the 2012 Horse Industry Expo, can be seen at equestrian clubs and at symposium events. That is proof that Chairman Kim Dong-soo works hands-on, going out to the field himself while still in office.In fact, the people who are well aware of the bleak history of the equestrian industry, as well as various corruptions and backdoor dealings, are these jangjesa and horseshoe technicians. But they cannot speak easily. A funeral worker once lamented, “If you say the wrong thing even once, the work is cut off.”For the horseshoe technicians who do the most dangerous work at the very bottom, Chairman Kim Dong-su had long dreamed of establishing a related association, and earlier this year, after receiving government approval to establish a nonprofit corporation, the Korea Horseshoe Technicians Association was officially launched.

The financial authorities announced plans to list high-quality public enterprises starting with the preparation of measures to revitalize the capital market in November.The Financial Services Commission has already prepared a list of public enterprises that can be listed first and has been consulting with relevant ministries, but it is known that there is no possibility of immediate measures being announced at this stage, though continuous discussions are planned to continue in the future.The biggest reason the Financial Services Commission is pushing for the listing of high-quality public enterprises is that the core of the announced capital market revitalization measures was to increase the proportion of stock investments by institutional investors such as pension funds, but given the ultra-low interest rate environment, the stocks available to pension funds are limited, analysts say, making it inevitable to turn to public enterprises in order to implement the revitalization measures.

During the 12-hour management strategy meeting that day, Chairman Hyun also reaffirmed, together with the executives and employees, the management philosophy he had been consistently emphasizing over the past year since taking office, and shared the management strategy for change and innovation in each division for 2015.At the second-half management strategy meeting, Chairman Hyun Myung-kwan said, “A company without change is bound to be left behind. He reflected, “The past year was a hectic one, racing toward innovation to impress customers, and it was a year in which all employees worked hard and saw hope for the Korea Racing Authority’s second founding.” He added, “There are still many hurdles to overcome, such as the Yongsan issue, innovation in horse racing, communication with stakeholders in the horse industry, personnel and salary reforms, online betting, and revisions to the scope of the Korea Racing Authority Act,” calling for continuous change and innovation from all employees.

A former national equestrian athlete turned businessman, he made a spectacular comeback to the equestrian world after 30 years, becoming a legend in the equestrian world. A businessman who opened the high-end equestrian luxury brand “Vallios Saddle & Style” in the heart of downtown Seoul and is scheduled to open the Vallios Equestrian Club in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province around May next year, is leading various business ventures. At a time when the driving force needed to lead change in Korea’s equestrian world, it was a great fortune to have the opportunity to interview Chairman Bae Chang-hwan, who is like the divine chariot of Achilles in ancient Greco-Roman mythology, Balios.In fact, shameless people still exist who completely change their behavior before and after any article or advertisement covering certain equestrian products or riding clubs.

I used to lament the persistent practices of the equestrian world, watching people whose words didn’t add up as they appointed officials who, after causing a self-proclaimed horse industry expert who published a book and took credit, and a mismanagement-related fall that damaged the entire image of the riding club, still managed to change the narrative.However, meeting Chairman Bae Chang-hwan, an elite equestrian athlete who can simultaneously address the problems in the equestrian world and suggest a direction for the equestrian industry, helped me regain my resolve. Chairman Bae Chang-hwan, who has now transformed from a businessman into a man of equestrianism, is regarded as a figure who can promote the development of the entire equestrian community and elevate the stature of our country. Chairman Bae Chang-hwan pours all his passion into his work every day, determined to fulfill his lifelong aspiration for the advancement of equestrian

Kim Sang-pil, chairman of the Korea-China Equine Industry Exchange Association, who left the large corporation he had been running intact for his father’s generation and took over a production farm, is regarded as a centrist figure capable of putting an end to the long-standing dispute between Jeju horses and Hallasan horses. It is also the right person to lead the development of Jeju’s global equestrian tourism and horse industry, as the first horse industry special zone. A benevolent heart is the heart of heaven, and there are many people around him who share his intentions. The Korea-China Horse Industry Exchange Association, with Jeju Provincial Assembly member Ha Min-cheol as honorary chairman, plans to hold its general assembly and inaugural ceremony in Jeju next January.

Ahead of the full-scale promotion of horse racing innovation in 2015, the Korea Racing Authority completed its regular personnel reshuffle for 478 employees on November 30, alongside an internal organizational restructuring. However, in this personnel reshuffle, only assignments and transfers were announced, and not a single promotion was revealed, leaving people curious.Upon verification, it is known that the Korea Racing Authority has decided to postpone promotion appointments for one year.They intend to make promotions based on an evaluation of the progress of work carried out over the year following the organizational restructuring.This year’s regular personnel appointments at the Korea Racing Authority are analyzed to reflect the racing industry’s sense of crisis and Chairman Hyun Myung-kwan’s determination to drive the Korea Racing Authority’s creative innovation.

In fact, most journalists dislike interviews with people. Because the people who make it into interview articles are so used to arrogant abuse of power that they treat reporters—more powerful than the president—with contempt, and there are many details they need to pay attention to while covering specialized content.The person who broke that prejudice was none other than Noh Seon-hwan, CEO of Green Disinfection. Recalling the nationwide uproar over the foot-and-mouth disease issue, I met him when I was curious about how animal diseases and quarantine issues are being managed. His always gentle smile and wholehearted approach to meeting people, treating a reporter much younger than himself like an uncle, and above all doing his best in what he calls his ‘calling.’

It was intended to strive for the technological advancement of Korea’s language industry through nurturing future talent, sharing advanced technology, and continuing education. Like the Western proverb “No hoof, no horse,” he is regarded as a figure who will make a major mark on the development of Korea’s jangje industry.When you meet many sources, there are times when you can tell who is who, but even after seeing their faces, you can’t remember their names. I'm utterly at a loss. I first met Kim Sang-pil, chairman of the Korea-China Horse Industry Exchange Association, at the 2013 Jeju District Equestrian Competition, but there was something about him that personally drew me in. As a side note, because he looked similar to the reporter’s father, and for someone who had served as president of the association, he seemed like a genuinely down-to-earth and humble person with sincere sincerity.

Now, with graduation approaching, it feels a little strange not having the tight schedule and plans I had during my studies. I think I need to continue steady self-development and studying.If there was any special know-how when preparing for the qualifications, it was that I prepared to get familiar with the exams and the testing centers while preparing for both the written and practical parts of all speaking-related certifications. I also visited the practice sites recommended by the professors every vacation to gain practical experience,

Before graduating from high school, I decided to get a job and attended an editorial design academy for six months. After graduating from high school, I worked for nearly two years in advertising agencies and as a freelancer in Seoul and Jeju Island. I became curious about the words I first encountered in Jeju. So I blindly joined the racehorse breeding team at Seong Isidol Ranch and worked there for about two months.While working at Jeju Airport, where the working conditions were good,

Students who compete while attending university pursue the dream of definitely trying out for the next Asian Games selection trials, balancing schoolwork and sports.They provided support in every aspect, starting with training camps, while preparing for the Olympics. Because Samsung spent money and provided support for the development of equestrian sports to that extent, we were able to participate in the Olympics and the Asian Games. I could have won a medal too.

Most of the students have been exercising since they were young, and even now, while attending school, they find time to work out.None of the athletic special talents do it like Jung Yura.Among the students I’m teaching right now, there is a friend who is attending university.I go to Hanyang University, and on Mondays and Tuesdays I attend classes all day.So I couldn't come today. I’ll have class tomorrow too, and then I’ll come to work out after 3 p.m.She weighs all the factors about the workouts she wants to do

Not long ago, there was a Chairman’s Cup equestrian competition in Sangju, and at that competition, we held the General Assembly of the Players’ Association.We briefed the players on the contents of the press conference held at the National Assembly and discussed how the Players’Association would respond.We decided to watch the press conference video,correct only the incorrect parts, and express our players’side of the opinions.This is not a matter of fighting.In the evening,the executives gathered to compile and organize the points raised at the general meeting.

Eighty percent said something that was true. The equestrian world plunged into chaos because of one person, Choi Soon-sil. How good a story is to us that we demanded an apology from the president from the equestrian. And I fully understand the content of the press conference they gave about the harm they suffered because of Choi Soon-sil. From their perspective, it must be incredibly unfair that while they were watching the referee, Executive Director Park Won-oh came down and said something,

If Samsung immediately steps down as the chair company, how will the equestrian association be managed right away, and how will next year’s competition be conducted? It makes no sense to demand only Samsung’s resignation without any countermeasures. It is an act that does not consider our equestrian athletes and equestrians. What those people said at the press conference was not as the entire equestrian community, but as the victims. It means it’s not a story that integrates the opinions of every equestrian.

You can get even better through exercise.Horseback riding has already been associated with the image of an imperial sport and a refined sport, but before that, it was an industry based on agriculture. Through therapeutic horseback riding, you can become friends with the horse and receive healing. And only therapeutic horseback riding can develop. It is an undeniable fact that therapeutic riding is built upon the development of equestrianism. For therapeutic horseback riding to become widespread,

Also, don’t try to choose people only from the horse side. There is also a need to bring external experts, such as physical therapy specialists, into the horse industry.There is clearly a budget for rehabilitation horseback riding, and it is being spent, but local governments and officials at related agencies are not equipping themselves as horse experts, so they tend not to know where or how the funds should be used. Selection and concentration are needed. It seems that a guide map or manual for the horse industry, including therapeutic riding, will be needed.
