Our school teachers are individuals with long experience and know-how; some have worked at our school for 13 to 14 years and laid the foundation for education in the horse industry. Through various educational support programs, we have brought in people who have learned advanced technologies from leading horse industry countries such as France and Germany, and we take pride in being among the best educators in the horse industry field.Mr. Woo Cheong-hwa, head of the Meister Department,

Korea Racing and Livestock High School is the only Meister high school in Korea in the horse industry field, located in the northwest foothills of Jirisan Mountain. It opened in 1970 as Unbong Livestock High School, and has tried various changes in step with the flow of changing times. In 2003, it changed its name to Korea Racing and Livestock High School and has since played a leading role in nurturing talent in the field of horse and mule management. After the Horse Industry Promotion Act came into effect at the end of September 2011,

Starting with exports to the United States in 2014, this year they have led the globalization of Korea’s traditional sauces by exporting 14 million won worth of fermented and pickled sauces to Australia and the United States.CEO Kang Soon-ok is also dedicated to preserving the jang of Sunchang. They are working to pass down Sunchang jang’s excellent production techniques to the next generation and to continue its tradition, such as linking it with local attractions and offering visitors demonstrations of making traditional gochujang.

By purchasing about 100 tons of agricultural products through contract farming with local farms, they secure high-quality raw materials and contribute to stabilizing farmers’ incomes.They also offer differentiated products based on numerous patents, including Cheonggukjang manufacturing using mulberry leaf extract, and Cheongdoenjang manufacturing, which preserves the taste of both cheonggukjang and doenjang while reducing its distinctive odor,

After retiring at age four, it should have been brought into the country to be used as a stallion in breeding, but after arriving here, it was never even able to prove its worth as a stallion because it was not verified. If a horse has been sent abroad for racing, the Korea Racing Authority should not only retire it but also provide additional management and include it in free breeding, among other institutional improvements. If a good offspring comes out, isn’t that the production of a truly native horse.

Foreign languages train before 4 a.m. They also prevent us from training together at the state farm, citing quarantine concerns. Foreign horses stay in a well-equipped quarantine stable. Our horses can only run after the foreign horses have finished training at 6 o’clock. If it’s an international race, we should train together, but since the track is already a complete mess, can we really train properly if we start late. Even if you send a caretaker and spend a lot of money on an expedition, the stable doesn’t even have CCTV.

If professionals from institutions specializing in training experts for the horse industry handle horse industry-related tasks, the pace of development of the domestic horse industry would also be doubled.Our school is not a school that only does horseback riding. It is a school that deals with the overall horse industry and provides various forms of education. Although it may be unfamiliar to parents during the annual college entrance exam season, it is already well known in the horse industry and is fully recognized for its capabilities.

That must be proof of how deeply they love and take pride in horses. It would be great if they could merge, but some senior members are opposed because they won’t give up their vested interests. There are 45 horse racing events a year, with 31 in Seoul and 14 in Busan. Compared with the original 3:4 ratio, the proportions do not match. Moreover, Seoul will have a bi-open race, while Busan will hold all races as open races. I think we should open everything up and head to the open racecourse.

Even now, I wake up at 4 a.m. and climb Baekdu Mountain in Gimhae. It is a steep mountain about 350 meters above sea level, and as we climb up and down here, we strengthen our body and mind, and at the summit we pray for the safety and health of our horses. And go straight to the magic room. It makes me uncomfortable if you don’t look at our words, even for just one day.Since I practically leave for work every morning at 6,there are six stable rooms

My grandfather used to ride horses, and there was a stable in Gangseo-gu, Busan. I also often hiked outside from the Nakdong River riverside park. Since the time of Ttukseom Racecourse, horses have been bid on and procured. When trying to attract the Busan Racecourse, I met with the mayor of Gangseo District, persuaded him, and made an effort. At the time, Gangseo District's financial independence rate was only 11%. The residents were so active that they said, “We absolutely welcome the racetrack, but oppose the briquette industrial complex.

Chairman Jinyoung Kim, as a senior figure, is also taking a hands-on approach to social contribution. Saying that people do what they do because they enjoy it, and wondering whether good grades come from doing good deeds in their own way, and emphasizing that “if you give, good things will happen”—it was through this that I could see the true character of an adultFirst of all, this Korea Sprint competition was really disappointing in many ways. I took good care of it, and it was in great condition,

But just like the saying, “Even if you hate sin, you must not hate people,” even when you know it’s hard, if you keep pushing through and hanging out together, they will understand your true feelings. It is something I do because I enjoy it myself. When you share your heart and affection, my heart becomes better too. When I go there, people even ask me, "Did anything good happen?" Could it be that my words are good in grades because I am doing my own good deeds. If you give, good things will happen.

Ordinary people can go wherever and whenever they want to eat, but inmates cannot. There were elderly people over 70, and when I asked what they wanted to eat, they said they wanted Chungmu kimbap and jokbal. We prepared right away, ate together, and also listened to the conversation. Wasn’t last summer especially hot. For the Jungbok, we prepared samgyetang for 1,100 large chickens and 2,200 servings. Since bottled water was also in desperate need, we donated 15,000 bottles.

We created the Busan-Gyeongnam Owners Association President’s Cup, but even after the Korea Racing Authority was officially approved as a legal corporation, they refused to recognize the association and tried to prevent the awards ceremony from taking place, so they renamed it the Owners Cup. We were also unable to present the awards at the first competition. It was a fresh feeling, as if we had finally made up our minds, when the “Return of the Pogyeongseon” won the 12th Owners Cup on July 29.

While interviewing Jinyoung Kim, the founding president of the Busan-Gyeongnam Horse Owners Association, the word that came to mind was 'veteran.' He was not just an ordinary elder, but a true elder. On January 19, 2006, he founded the Busan-Gyeongnam Owners’ Association after relentless effort despite all kinds of difficulties, saying, “I will make sure that citizens love horse racing.”At the time, the Korea Racing Authority was not in the mood of recognizing the Korea Owners’ Association.

He has 45 years of experience in horseback riding alone. Since the story had gone back to the days of Ttukseom Racecourse, I’ve said all I needed to say. In addition to his titles as CEO of Pungjin Livestock Co., Ltd. and inaugural president of the Busan-Gyeongnam Owners’ Association, he is also actively engaged in various social activities, including serving as president of the Busan Detention Center Correctional Council, youth guidance committee member at the Busan Northern Police Station,

An elder, meaning “a person who has devoted themselves to one thing for a long time and has much experience and achievement,” sustains itself through dedication and sacrifice. Though his life has been marked by hardships like storms and not just typhoons, he is cheerful. Full of pride, yet the heart and mind are always open. Not everyone can become an elder by staying for a long time. Positivity and passion, pride in the path one has walked, and consideration for others. It is the condition of an elder.

Recently, older horses in the Mabang are doing well, but they are choosing to take enough rest when they take a break, which seems to lead to good results. Thank you for always helping me, and I will do my best to repay you with a victory. Hwang In-sung, who majored in law, expressed interest in the conflict of related bills, which is a sharp issue in the horse industry today. Hwang In-sung, a reporter, said, "I want to find out the issues that are holding back the development of the horse industry and highlight them. I will help the government and the Korean horse society policy meet the needs of the field."

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.

Kim Jong-kook, head of the Korea Racing Authority, graduated from the University of Seoul Department of Public Administration, received a master's degree from the University of Seoul Business School, and is currently studying for a doctorate in sports and cultural welfare policy at the Seoul National University of Science and Technology. Thanks to Pinnoir, I'm on the podium again, and I feel happy and excited every time. I was very worried that I would catch up because I hit the middle of the race. It is true that he was turning six this year. The Dong-A Ilbo thought the race was over in an advantageous way in terms of experience because of bad weather, but I am very happy that he ran so well today. I plan to manage the horse as much as possible and think about the next race.

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.

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." The Let's Run Foundation, a representative social contribution foundation of the Korean Horse Association, celebrated its second anniversary on March 18.

The Let's Run Foundation, which celebrated its second anniversary on March 18, recruited Kim Hak-shin, former head of the Seoul Regional Headquarters, as the general secretary through a public offering at the end of February. Kim Hak-shin, a 59-year-old native of Suncheon, Jeollanam-do, graduated from the Department of Public Administration at Seoul City University and joined the Korean Horse Association in 1986. Since then, he has served as the head of major departments of the Korean Horse Association, including the head of the public relations team, the head of the horse racing cooperation team, the head of the Jeju business department, the head of the planning and coordination team, the head of the Busan and Gyeongnam regional headquarters, and the head of the Seoul regional headquarters, and retired at the retirement age in February this year. Secretary-General Kim was evaluated as an administrative expert with excellent practical experience and administrative ability when he was in office.
