Compared to other cohorts, I’m not particularly overweight, so I don’t do separate weight management. I eat well and exercise consistently. I go to the gym and do strength-focused workouts. Also, to maintain a stable posture on the horse during races, I often ride a jockey’s bike.Thanks to fencing since I was young, it has been a great help to horse racing. Because fencing requires a lot of lower-body strength and explosiveness, I did a lot of lower-body exercise.

During the process of training to ride a colt, it fell together with the horse and got run over by it, getting injured. Since then,I developed aftereffects from my ankle.Even now, I can’t run at full speed.There is currently no major impact on Gyeongju,but at the time it did. My ankle was swollen from a ligament tear and fracture, but because I wanted to keep riding for the race, I said I had a sprain.Limping,I tried to ride even one more horse.At that time, a full recovery was not properly achieved,

Most people think of horse racing as gambling.However, in everyday life, quite a large number of people enjoy horse racing as a leisure activity. If the environment and culture of horse racing are improved so that horse racing can be enjoyed as a leisure activity, and the horse racing industry is revitalized through this, the horse industry will also become more active. I believe that revitalizing the horse industry can also provide great benefits to our society.First of all, I think it would be wonderful if the next government

Even in Japan, it becomes 75.1%, and in Hong Kong, 78.1%. In countries like the United Kingdom or Australia, it reaches as high as 89%. Our country takes too many taxes off people. On top of that, there are many horse racing taxes, including a 100% increase in entrance fees, double taxation at more than 100 times the rate, and refunds exceeding 2 million won. So the content is that horse racing taxes should be reduced. It also contained the content that online betting must be conducted.

Horse racing is a sport that can be fully enjoyed as a leisure activity.The reason for organizing this gathering today is to improve the negative image of horse racing,which is perceived by people as gambling despite being fully enjoyable as a leisure activity.In addition,it is to create a public forum to discuss tax issues unfavorable to us horse racing fans and the reintroduction of online betting ticket sales.I stopped online betting ticket sales around 2009,and I thought that such a public discussion platform might be necessary to bring online sales back into practice.

The Let's Run Foundation is a social contribution foundation established to create a society that fulfills social responsibilities as a public company and lives together by raising funds from donations from the Korean Horse Association and donations from executives and employees. It was established on March 18, 2014. Previously, the Korean Horse Association carried out various donations and social return activities in the social contribution team, but the establishment was promoted due to the need for a more active and professional foundation. The purpose of the foundation is to contribute to revitalizing society as a whole, promoting people's welfare, and enhancing the status of the horse industry by supporting job creation projects, talent development projects, cultural prosperity projects, welfare promotion projects for the vulnerable, and horse industry image improvement projects.

The existence of the Let's Run Foundation itself is possible because of customers of horse racing. I thought that horse racing customers should come to the forefront in all fields. The Let's Run Foundation also wants to make it clear that the donation agent is the horse racing customer. 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. As the customer level has been upgraded, it is now necessary to inform horse racing customers as the subject who provides financial resources for social contribution projects, not gamblers. 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.

Just because it’s called a riding horse doesn’t mean you expect it to be at the level of what equestrian athletes ride; it’s meant to be comfortable to ride. Six months is enough. Six months can be long, or it can be short. I think if you focus on the process, it could be done in three or four months.In the case of Hallama, it is currently 4 to 500 million won per bird. After three to four months of training, the price rises to as high as 8 to 9 million won. It is the value of a trained horse. As long as the training system works properly, it doesn’t suffer any loss.

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."

Build part of the horse there so that Jeju horses can enter, be trained, receive training on the main course, and then come.For farms that lack well-equipped facilities, the Jeju Horse Producers Association has independently secured a certain amount of provincial funds to operate the Seongeup Breeding Center. We are renovating the facilities. Although a mid- to long-term roadmap has been established, infrastructure is necessary for the hiring criteria based on the process to be implemented.

Since last year, the province, the Jeju Horse Producers Association, and the Korea Racing Authority have come together to carry out the project. Although it was in the early stages, it was persuaded of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and eventually reached the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, but the special zone funds were not sufficiently provided. Through another route, we secured 400 million won in national funds and 400 million won in provincial funds, but as the project progressed,

In a real circular stud farm, it should be a completely enclosed circle, which would allow horses to concentrate well during the initial acclimation stage, but most farms do not have a closed circular stud farm like the Korea Racing Authority. Also, most farm households have many people working alone. There are 20 to 30 horses, but since I’m doing it alone, I’m often busy. I cannot invest much time. When you train alone, you may not even know what is wrong with it. The four pilot farms meet once a month, taking turns to receive training together,

The professor would make the standard manual, but since he couldn’t do it alone, students came in and handled the practical work. We are planning to link the timing of these students’ graduation with job opportunities.In the case of aging farms, although the processes of acclimation training during early childhood are good, they are unable to participate because they cannot carry them out themselves, resulting in their decline. Graduates who learned that process

One may have doubts about the effect of the standard manual. So we designated a pilot farm. Among the producers, we designated four farms that are well-equipped and motivated. We selected 24 animals from your farm and are actually training them according to the manual.Jeju Halla University, which produced the training manual, and representatives from the pilot farms meet once a month to present the results and address any difficulties, refining the manual accordingly.

When a substantial training system is established, the horses’ levels change. The care and effort of those who manage it also change.In the past, if we trained the newcomers who had not been trained at all and worked with them during the racehorse training process, now we can focus on racehorse training and race participation. The overall level becomes extremely high. From 2018 to 2023, make sure only vehicles that have passed the 100% road inspection come in. I drew the roadmap in this way.

Gradually, at first, some of the horses that have completed the departure inspection are allowed in.The next step is to allow only horses that have passed the 100% departure inspection to enter.As the next step,some that passed the driving inspection come in, and then only horses that passed 100% come in.They prepared a system where if they passed on the day of joining, they would come in as racehorse masseurs, and if they failed,they would be sent home again.The trained and tamed horses are those that have passed at least the minimum driving inspection.

Just as a study pattern is determined by the college entrance system, it is important to set the conditions and direction for joining as a racehorse. Just as it takes at least five years to reach the level of fear in the training process, we cannot do it immediately, but we will begin by signaling how the requirements for entering the racehorse industry will proceed step by step in the future,and what preparations producers and owners need to make.Last year,a roadmap was drawn in the mid- to long-term race resource

Last year, we first reviewed good research materials on how to handle production of things like Seorabad, and how to develop them in the early and late stages.There is plenty of information about the Seorabad both abroad and in Korea, but there was not a single record of the Jeju horse.The standards related to Seorabad could not be applied to Jeju horses.So last year,we created a standard manual for production,

In fact, the staff working at LetsRun Park Jeju had also been concerned about this issue, but there were limitations due to internal circumstances. Because there were various conflicts as the Halla horse and the Jeju horse ran together, there was no capacity to systematically invest training or energy.At the end of February 2016, with the signing of an agreement on the development of the horse industry, the obstacle to going to Jeju horse racing was removed. I couldn’t carry the Jeju horse race on like this.

Unlike Thoroughbred, where production, training, and development are systematized, they are being put into racing at some point simply because they have reached an age. Because they come in without proper training, their expertise is lacking and accidents happen frequently. Even the horses’ running level drops. The ability is good, but the words and the deviation are also severe. Overall, the quality of the race is declining. Jeju horse racing is broadcast in Seoul and Busan, but there were also complaints from customers saying,
