Personally, my dream was to create a horse permanent auction market. I had envisioned building a nearby equestrian park where the whole family could visit on weekends to ride horses, watch shows, and shop for supplies. It was attempted to be secured in Yeonggwang, Jeollanam-do, and recently a local government in the metropolitan area has shown interest and is moving forward with it.Even in our country, where FTAs have taken off, incomes are gradually declining for cattle and pigs.

Lately, I think the Hahringer, with its high stance and gentle temperament, is great for women and youth horseback riding. I ran a riding stable and a livestock farm, and I also served as a division head as an early founding member of the Korea Horse Industry Association.I’ve been running a carriage at Ilsan Lake Park every weekend for 10 years, and it’s still very popular with children. I also worked briefly in Heyri, Paju, and by then the children had grown up; when they saw me driving by,

It would be even better if we win by producing our own athletes. Starting next year, we hope to operate a training center to work horses that have been underperforming at the racetrack and help them achieve better results.To those working hard in still challenging conditions, let us stay strong with the mindset that,as the foundation of our country’s horse industry, someone must make sacrifices for the success of the next generation, even if it is not our generation

However, at this point, I am not quite sure what I can do or how I can help. I believe that trainers need to acquire advanced training technologies going forward. I believe that instead of stubbornly sticking to the old techniques learned from predecessors, we must learn new technologies even by inviting instructors from the Korea Racing Authority or the Trainers Association to quickly leap forward as a leading horse-riding nation that is not left behind in the world.

You are qualified, so go ahead and apply," and without really knowing what it was about, I ended up forming a connection with him.Through that connection, I also earned a master's degree in equine genetics in February of this year. I run Jema Qigong in Changwon, and we are constructing the so-called Marland Gyeongju Horse Resort, a riding stable, and a tourist farm in Ibanseong-myeon, Jinju, Gyeongnam, with completion targeted for next spring.

Currently, owners entrust their horses to trainers or handlers for training, but I believe that in the future, owners should conduct basic taming and training at their own farms or training centers, as is done abroad.I also think that Ma-ju needs to understand the characteristics of her own words in order to choose the right trainer and handler for them. For example, imagine entrusting a mature-type horse and a bottom-entry type horse to a trainer who prefers front-running and early-sleeping horses.

Most owners, no matter how good their horses are in regular races, probably wish to see them step onto the podium at least once.After failing and facing setbacks dozens of times, I had decided that it was no longer my fate and that I should give up on the path of a stable owner and focus on business, but then 'Heba' worked hard and won the KNN Cup and the Gyeongnam Governor’s Cup last year, becoming the best mare. For reference, 'Heba' means 'goddess of youth,

Since the early days of LetsRun Park Busan-Gyeongnam’s opening, I have been active there and began building relationships with horses. Knowing that a horse-related certification system was being implemented under the Horse Industry Promotion Act, I started trying from the first attempt, but I failed every time at the very end.Actually, I was going to give up on the exam this time. Since I kept failing, I felt embarrassed, and the racing officials even asked why I was taking a trainer’s exam.They said that even if you pass the written exam, you would never pass the practical one.

Does it make sense if Park Tae hwan says he wants to train at the Gwangju Municipal Swimming Pool instead of working out in Seoul, and you say no. That is what the media should be making a fuss about. That's not a problem. I don't think it's a problem for a national team player to say they want to train. When Yoo yeon came, I didn't even provide her with food, brought in a worker, and also brought in Coach Shin 00. I just lent them the barracks in Building 201.The media wrote that the 201 building's barracks were very good, but the worst one is the 201 building.

You know that, right. I even know who Yoo-yeon is. It gets complicated if we're all together, so let's use this to create obstacles. Chairman Hyun Myung kwan must have had a headache too, so he probably didn't think that way. Could someone who passed the civil service exam and even served as chief of staff to Chairman Lee Kun hee not have such a brain. Since even that was a problem and I disconnected, doesn't that mean the money didn't go through. If you hadn't come in,

Until now, the chair companies have been the Korea Racing Authority, Hanwha, and Samsung. The association was able to operate and hold competitions because they continued to provide funding. While 1.5 billion won may seem small, if that is paid annually, the company would need to be quite large. Although the Korea Racing Authority is a company related to horses. Samsung and Hanwha supported the project because the previous chairmen enjoyed horseback riding.

test008

Right now,Samsung is supporting the association in its capacity, not for major competitions, but even that must be done by Samsung. If Samsung doesn't act, the equestrian world will struggle.Whether it was 1.5 billion or 1.6 billion won paid annually by the groups Samsung and Hanwha, or support provided for the association, there was a part of it that benefited the players. Since equestrianism does not receive government support, without corporate sponsorship, they cannot even compete and would find it difficult to participate in the Olympics.

test008

Most of them are like that. There are hardly any players who completely abandon school. I want to say that not all athletes in the sports specialized admissions track are like Jung Yoo ra.Most athletes begin their training with the ambition of winning medals at the Olympics and the Asian Games. It's not that I'm just going to go to college while riding horses.Students who compete while attending university pursue their dreams of definitely participating in the next Asian Games selection trials, balancing their studies and sports.

test008

From the equestrian athletes’ perspective, such speculative reports are not favorable.The perception of equestrianism is already negative because of the Choi Soon-sil scandal, and speculative reports only deepen the misunderstanding that it has always been like that. It's not just about the equestrian in the article, is it.I hope that no innocent athletes' special admission students suffer because of Jung Yoo-ra. Most of the students have been active since they were young and still find time to exercise while attending school.

How good is it for us to demand an apology from the president from the equestrian. I also fully understand the content of the press conference regarding the harm they suffered because of Choi Soon-sil. From their perspective, it must be incredibly unfair that Executive Director Park Won-oh came down to say something while the referee was watching and that they couldn't see the referee from then on.That's right. Not long ago, there was a Chairman's Cup equestrian competition in Sangju, and the Players' Association held a general meeting there.

test008

If Samsung immediately steps down as chairman, how will the equestrian association be managed, and what will be done about next year’s competition? It makes no sense to demand Samsung's resignation without any countermeasures. It is a treatment that fails to consider our equestrian athletes and equestrians. What those people said at the press conference was as victims, not as representatives of all equestrians. That doesn't mean it's a consensus of all equestrians' opinions.

test008

After watching the full video, I found some parts of the content that differed from our players’ views, so I requested an interview. I cannot agree with the part of the statement that tells Samsung and Hanwha to leave the equestrian world. I don't know if there are other concrete measures to address the equestrian association or its executives, but I disagree with responding to this situation emotionally without any plan.This is the part where they demanded the resignation of Samsung, the current chair company of the equestrian association.

During the Gyeongju horse racing trial, horses and their order are first drawn to assign them for the trial. Tutor Kwon Seung-joo and I were assigned the same horse, but I was assigned right after him. So, after watching Assistant Trainer Kwon take the practical exam, I thought it might help, and upon closer look, I realized his stirrup was too long.I tried to lengthen the stirrup by about two steps, but Trainer Kwon thought it wasn’t necessary since it was already long, so I kept riding as is—only to realize, oops, it couldn’t have been that short.

One solution is the Olle Trail, a network of horse trails connecting the country. The road in front of our equestrian center’s reservoir was once the site of a relay station connecting Seoul and Gangneung. In the past, when horses were the means of transportation, there were relay stations all across the country. We have to save this. While it may not be possible to preserve the old path as is, the station could be modernized and repurposed as a horseback leisure center. Rural equestrian centers should form cooperatives here,

By signing an MOU with a local education office, all students in the relevant grade for that region must ride horses for at least two hours per week for one year. There are education office statistics showing indicators, so efforts should be made to promote the program using data such as how much students’ bodies grow over a year of horseback riding and how much school violence decreases. It is necessary to promote such initiatives together with EBS educational broadcasting and others to shift public perception of equestrianism.

There are limits to direct financial support. If government support is merely a catalyst, then now is the time to pour that catalyst where it is needed.To turn 40 million won in support into 400 million, 4 billion, or 40 billion won in effect, the government must present a clear vision and guide frontline workers to act accordingly.Blind flattery won't do. It is by no means an attempt to feed frontline riding centers with a free pass to keep them afloat.The government should present a vision, and equestrian centers on the front lines should plan projects accordingly and work to realize them.

test008

Although it is called the 'horse industry,' there is no broad framework for which path or how it will proceed.Even if the present is tough and challenging, businesspeople with a vision and hope for the future endure it, invest, and wait for what lies ahead. On the other hand, no matter how good today's reality is, they won't invest without a vision for the future.This is a message for horse industry operators. Still, since this is only a passing cold wind for now, I think if you don’t be too surprised and wait a little, the spring breeze will blow.

test008

While the government was watering and nurturing the budding of equestrianism, a strange obstacle was thrown in the water, but I believe that just as spring comes after the beginning of summer, spring will surely arrive. If we wait a little, the cold splash will be resolved. We are descendants of the nomadic peoples, and if the government establishes sound policies for the equestrian industry, it is a field with great potential.There should be a broader plan for how to nurture and cultivate them after they have sprouted in the country,

Since joining the company, he has held key positions including head of the marketing team in 2004, director of public relations in 2011, and director of the audit office in 2015, and just before becoming head of the Busan Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters, he demonstrated his distinctive leadership as head of the Jeju Regional Headquarters by developing the racehorse ranch and horse racing park into representative local tourist attractions.
