Shim Ho-geun and Lee Yong-joon were promoted to deputy directors and deputy directors, respectively. Shim Ho-geun, who is also a reporter in charge of entering the Korea Racing Authority, is in charge of strengthening content in the horse racing industry, while Lee Yong-joon is in charge of the overall horse racing industry, including horseback riding and related industries, focusing more on communication with the field and finding articles. Recruitment and promotion of journalists for Racing Media is a step in line with the expansion of its business ahead of the online news partnership between Naver and Kakao, following the signing of an agreement with KBSN in February on horse industry broadcast planning. Racing Media, the only professional total media organization in the Korean horse industry, comprehensively deals with the Korean horse industry, including the internationalization of the horse racing industry and the popularization of the horse racing industry.

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.

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.

They are working to minimize costs by adopting a 'Korea-Japan match format,' eliminating the inconvenience of players having to prepare horses and bring them to the venue. With transportation costs eliminated, students’ obsession with winning will disappear, allowing them to enjoy and participate in the event for its true purpose. They even held a university student super league and showcased exhibition matches. There are four equestrian-related universities in the Gyeongbuk region—Kyungpook National University, Seorabeol University, Seongdeok University, and Pohang University—and each has created its own discipline within its area, allowing participants to attend competitions with only their own transportation costs.

Among the horses he owned was one called the “Blue Band Queen.” Inspired by 'Blue Band,' a children's support association for Seoul National University, the 'Blue Band Queen' also donated a portion of the prize money to children with rare diseases when winners emerged. No one who truly loves horses is a bad person. As much as I love horses, I strive to continue serving society, even if only in a small way. In addition to his pride in facing the horse, the joy of doing good has become the driving force behind his riding.Be dedicated to self-development. Just because someone is an athlete doesn't mean they should focus solely on training; they need to also pay attention to veterinary medicine, doping, and make an effort to study equine science as a whole.

After considerable discussion with the student equestrian association’s executive committee, we concluded that revitalizing youth equestrianism is the most important factor in advancing Korean equestrianism. Therefore, I plan to focus on more actively promoting youth equestrian hunter competitions, which have been pursued since the time of the previous chairman. In addition, efforts are being actively made to link the student equestrian competition with local festivals so that it can become a festival event rather than just a competition. The hunter competition was modeled after the U.S. to make equestrian sports enjoyable for youth. Until now, there had been little difference in the performance between the general division and the youth division.

Endurance riding and youth riding are considered the greatest drivers of industrializing equestrianism and expanding its base. In particular, by increasing access to horseback riding, the most suitable leisure sport for youth, we can address the growing social issues of adolescence and cultivate a spirit of resilience and moral education. In particular, since Hallama has shown potential as a suitable riding horse for youth, the association will pay close attention to youth equestrianism and take proactive steps in the future.

During my time at Hanyang University, there were inexpensive horseback riding lessons at a riding stable near Ttukseom Racecourse during summer vacation. I started learning horseback riding through that course, went on to become an equestrian athlete, and even represented Korea in the Korea-Japan competition. I was in the cavalry unit in the military as well. That connection continued, and that is how my life of horseback riding began. I have continued horseback riding while working with the Student Equestrian Association. As someone who loves horses, I also came face to face with one. It was a great pleasure to face you. Personally, I think that making rounds should be done for one's own enjoyment, regardless of profit. Discussing with the trainer and improving the horse’s skills through the trainer brings its own kind of satisfaction.

By strictly managing hygiene and quality and building an integrated local food distribution network among farmers, cooperatives, and consumers, they achieved annual sales of approximately 2.6 billion won.By purchasing all eco-friendly produce, the program ensures stable income for contracted farmers so they can focus solely on improving quality.

It was certainly not an easy case. In my case, I had to travel from Europe to Korea, and the horse transportation costs were no small matter. To transport horses, an air container is required, which costs more than 40 million won for a round trip. I came to Korea with great difficulty and help, and I will work hard with the mindset of being selected.Since I started competing in Europe right after the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, I don't know the situation in the domestic equestrian scene exactly.

To create a wider variety of matches beyond the Hunter Games, they explored various options such as club leagues among equestrian clubs and a university student super league. To expand the club competition, various exhibition matches are being held, and the aesthetic aspects of horses are being considered alongside dressage. Polishing one’s speech helps students become more comfortable with language and increases the audience’s focus on the game. Hunter competitions allow not only the participating young athletes but also their families and fellow riders to participate, increasing interest in equestrianism and enabling a sustained growth in the number of riders.

Europe has a completely different equestrian system from Korea, and as the birthplace of equestrianism, I am active here. Since I was young, I thought I should ride horses well in Korea and eventually make it to Europe.
