The Korea Racing Authority (Chairman Hyun Myung-kwan) certified the 'Haman Racehorse Rest and Training Facility,' equipped with pristine natural surroundings and excellent training facilities to support racehorses' rehabilitation and rest, as a 'racehorse-exclusive resort' on February 12.The 'Haman Racehorse Rest and Training Facility,' the first to be certified by the Korea Racing Authority as a dedicated racehorse resort, has been operating as a Busan horse racing rest and training facility since 2009.Gyeongju horses resting at the facility must undergo quarantine to check for any health abnormalities before returning to the racetrack. They are testing the racehorses' serum to determine whether they have been infected with disease during the break. This process takes more than three days.

He also lamented, "Although the government has said it is working to legalize the underground economy, illegal gambling markets are growing tremendously, and social problems such as tax revenue outflow and gambling addiction are becoming more serious," adding, "It is not right to leave illegal activities unchecked while only regulating the legal ones."The loss of existing users could also accelerate the expansion of the illegal market. Therefore, there is a growing call to encourage autonomous financial soundness measures while taking into account the unique characteristics of the system, rather than applying the electronic card system uniformly.

With the Haman racehorse leisure and training facility exempting itself from quarantine procedures that previously took three days, it is expected to gain even more attention as a dedicated racehorse resort.At 11 a.m. on the 25th, a plaque unveiling ceremony for the “Racehorse Quarantine Exemption Facility” was held at Haman Horse Industry Promotion Park, attended by about 20 officials from racecourse parks including Kim Byung-jin, head of the Korea Racing Authority’s Busan-Gyeongnam Headquarters, Kim Jae-seop, president of the Busan-Gyeongnam Trainers Association, and Lee Gap-seok, vice president of the Bukyung Racecourse Owners Association, as well as about 80 people including Haman County Governor Cha Jeong-seop, former Haman County Governor Ha Seong-sik, and heads of various organizations, marking the start of full-scale operation.

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.

He stated, “To ensure the consultative body has real authority, signatures will be obtained not only from KRA executives but also from the relevant department heads and team leaders.”While the implementation of integrated races at production sites had emerged as the main issue in the Korea Racing Authority’s horse racing reform plan, leading to strong opposition from the horse breeders’ association, it is analyzed that the association could no longer insist on outright opposition as the Authority presented measures to protect domestic horses through multiple adjustment proposals.With the registration of participants at Seoul Race Park proceeding smoothly and the horse breeders' association signing the 'Agreement on the Implementation of the Horse Racing Innovation Plan,' the growing pains caused by the plan, which have continued since the end of last year, are now reaching their final stage.

On the 23rd, the Korea Racing Authority's Busan Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters held an inauguration ceremony for its newly appointed head, Choi Won il. The inauguration ceremony, held at the main auditorium of LetsRun Park Busan-Gyeongnam, was attended by Vice President Jung Young sik of the Busan Gyeongnam Owners’ Association, Director Min Jang gi of the Busan-Gyeongnam Trainers’ Association, President Kim Nam-seong and Director Kim Eo su of the Jockey Association,

In addition, the Korea Racing Authority and the production organizations agreed to establish a Production Promotion Council to enhance the capabilities of domestic horses.Jang Jeong-gi, chairman of the Inland Producers Association, said, "Rather than focusing on the details of the horse racing reform plan, we drafted an agreement with the Korea Racing Authority from a principled standpoint. He said, "The Korea Racing Authority tells us not to worry about a decline in domestic horse purchases due to the integration of production areas, but I told Chairman Hyeon Myung-kwan that concerns are high on the ground, and he instructed me to convey that the merits of purchasing domestic horses are sufficient," adding, "Once the consultative body is formed, it will reflect the voices of related organizations on the ground rather than being pushed forward unilaterally by the Authority."

While racehorse resorts are distributed nationwide, Haman is the first to receive quarantine exemption.In this context, the Student Affairs Committee's reintroduction of the full implementation of electronic cards is not only an excessive duplication of regulations on legal businesses but could also be a serious factor fueling the expansion of the illegal gambling market.There are also disputes over violations of users' human rights and consumer rights.An industry insider pointed out, "According to the electronic card implementation plan, collecting users' sensitive biometric information such as their finger vein patterns could lead to concerns over personal data exposure and cause users to avoid it, perceiving it as fingerprint stamping."

If training means cutting and chopping wood to make materials, then training refers to the process of carpenters shaping and assembling those materials.That is how important the role of horse trainers is in fostering the horse industry.I think the horse industry is currently in a slump. This applies not only to equestrianism but to all sectors of the horse industry following the preferential treatment scandal involving Jung Yoo-ra. In this situation, the horse industry must come together.

He added, "The problem is that some farms in the area are not only talking the talk but also raising cattle and pigs," and said, "Once the foot-and-mouth disease movement restrictions are lifted, we plan to begin on-site inspections immediately."As the designation project for horse industry special zones continues to drift without a deadline, the local governments seeking such designation are growing increasingly distressed. If designated as a horse industry special zone, there would be no particular problem, but if it fails, the preparation period for the additional designation of the 2015 horse industry special zone, which will be conducted in September this year, would be severely insufficient.

Rural horseback riding centers that produce horses should focus on hands-on experiences, while leisure activities should be offered as horseback trekking courses. There could be rest areas and lodging facilities to rest at the relay stations, as well as local agricultural product shops, making it a space that harmonizes well with the equestrian industry and rural communities. Therefore, this should become a hub for local leisure and the horse industry.I am grateful for the award, especially since I have not contributed much to the horse industry.

In the second half of last year, we held the founding members’ meeting and inaugural general assembly of the Korean Language Trainers Association, and just two to three weeks ago, we held an office plaque unveiling ceremony in Cheoin-gu, Yongin, Gyeonggi Province.The goal is to receive official approval from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs by early March.I have already completed all the necessary paperwork for the approval, and I plan to visit the Ministry of Agriculture,

We plan to hold the Horse Industry Education Expo again this year and further deepen its impact. A roundtable discussion is planned at this meeting on ways to hold winter youth equestrian camps utilizing the excellent riding facilities of institutions specializing in equine industry training. We have requested Professor Jang Seok-am of Dankook University, the current president of the Chungnam Equestrian Federation, to lead a meeting.

Former Student Equestrian Association President Lee Jong-eun also personally funded and conducted training related to the “Hunter” event for student equestrianism, and the trainees at the time were the current association directors. To develop it to fit Korea’s circumstances, we have held symposiums, conducted tests, and continuously organized referee training sessions.Previously, the course was kept private, but since student equestrianism emphasizes educational purposes,I don't think that is necessary.

Student athletes selected through this competition will also be given opportunities to observe international matches by utilizing a reserve team system. Some associations are assisting to provide many opportunities to observe overseas competitions. Rather than concentrating benefits on a few players, we will give advantages to more players.That is why the role of the international director is so important.This is because a large amount of high-quality information must be gathered to promote youth equestrian development.

At every tournament, seeing the association directors working hard from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., the children would say goodbye, saying they were the first to give up. The children also realized that the Student Horseback Riding Association was working hard for them. Since most families today have only one or two children, they may lack social skills and empathy, but through education mediated by the animal, horses, children can become more refined and develop empathy.

You can watch the youth competition held on Imjado, Sinan, Jeollanam-do, without having to travel there yourself from Gangneung, Gangwon Province, as a student equestrian athlete.The Student Equestrian Association does not intend to lead the competitions; instead, we plan to have each regional association take the lead. The Student Equestrian Association also intends to provide substantial support for organizing competitions held in each region.The Korea Racing Authority currently operates a website called Hospia,

Because he was said to be close with Executive Director Park Won-oh and Director Park Jae-hong, he was pushed and manipulated until he had, at some point, become Choi Soon-sil's man. But that is not true at all. I hardly met Executive Director Park Won-oh, and since Director Park Jae-hong and I are senior and junior in the equestrian world, I just greeted him. Since taking charge of the student equestrian association, I have hardly made any contact. It was being blown out of proportion that he was close to Executive Director Park.

Ultimately, the plan was changed to hold the event within the Korea Racing Authority, and the association decided to handle everything directly, from organizing the event to setting up the venue. There seemed to be criticism of lax management during the execution of a budget that had been secured for installing stands, LED lighting, and other necessary equipment for holding the event at a different location.And I can somewhat agree with the shortcomings in management. Since most student equestrian association officers juggle multiple roles,
