A typical example is producing, raising, and training safe horses, safe horses, and horses familiar to people. The horses of Jeju now do not even look when people call them, run away when they see people, and become wary when people approach them. Foreign words are not like that. It is important that the mindset of producing horses that follow people and are safe, rather than breeding horses simply for the sake of horses, is improved first. Awareness improvement should focus on the issues of how horses are raised and trained, and how products are developed to meet consumers’ expectations. Next, people—specialized personnel—must be created.

Seeing that I learned horseback riding as quickly as the other kids, the riding instructor even praised me. And by the time I was riding for the third time, the instructor even said, “Would you consider helping me work at the riding stable?”While preparing for the university graduation presentation, I thought of the pony riding business in simple terms to match the children’s level of understanding, and after graduation, after going through the preparation process, I officially started the business.

The useful information related to childcare and education seems to have become indirectly promoted through a culture of sharing among parents. To meet this interest and expectation, they also hold events from time to time. During extremely hot or cold seasons, we also hold major discount events, and we try to provide services tailored to customers, such as handing out delicious snacks like ice cream or drinks to young children who visit the riding club.Since they are young entrepreneurs and around the same age as the parents,

For now, I’m getting a lot of inquiries about the program from nearby kindergartens and schools. The first time regular customers visited our equestrian club, they were very satisfied with the program and spread a lot of word-of-mouth about it. As word spread among parents, inquiries came in one after another, and when demand for the horseback riding program grew to a certain scale, kindergartens and schools would also follow up with group inquiries.

All related subjects concerning the horse industry qualification exam have been included in the curriculum. Students advancing to the third year this year are taking their first exams, and we also provide private tutoring so they can prepare for the tests in separate classes. I secretly look forward to seeing what the result will be. Although the average pass rate isn’t very high, I plan to start in March so it can be higher than average and prepare accordingly.Since the first grade, the curriculum has included an English education program, and special group tutoring is also being provided for languages such as German and Japanese. They are using the school break to send students abroad for training, helping them develop adaptability to the local environment.

We must also take the lead in training specialized personnel. High school is the basic stage of training, and only after coming to university is one refined into a professional worker, yet there is no place that professionally deals with horse taming and training. While training that uses horses, such as therapeutic riding, is conducted in many places, there is no place that provides training to make horses. Therefore, the Department of Massage at Jeju Halla University focuses on education in horseback riding and on training professional personnel.In the horse industry, production, development, and training serve as the “middle” part of the industry. Just as a tree must have strong roots to be healthy, the fundamental areas of the horse industry—production, breeding, and training—must be developed.

The Faculty of Massage at Jeju Halla University, composed of the Department of Horse Resources and the Department of Massage, includes practical training and mounting courses throughout the entire curriculum from the first to the fourth year.

Students receive education throughout their four years that combines theory, practical fieldwork, and hands-on training.

There are issues with service, safety, and efficiency when it comes to commercialization. In fact, horseback riding is a safe sport. It’s because it wasn’t managed well. For example, I personally think it would be dangerous to convert retired racehorses into riding horses. Being sensitive and using retired racehorses, which still retain their aggressive exercise and sprinting habits through horse racing, as riding horses increases the potential for accidents. To achieve this, either systematic conversion training should be conducted, or, as with the Japanese Crane Horse Riding Club, systematic and limited use should be applied without using it in group or external riding.We need professionally trained and tamed riding horses from an early age, but our country still lacks a system for the taming and training of riding horses.

He lamented the situation where no horse racing official is advocating for an increase in the refund rate, and even though everyone is stepping up to lead the push for a higher refund rate, it remains unclear whether it will actually change, yet they are only pushing their own demands. He argued that the one task is to persuade and fight the National Assembly and the government so that the domestic horse racing refund rate, which can be called the worst in the world at 73%, can be raised to at least the Japanese level of 80%.”Representative Kim Byung-hong said,
