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."

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

Many changes are already happening worldwide, but our country's training technology has yet to keep pace. We must quickly adopt advanced technologies in line with the flow of change. Above all, I think the most important thing is to introduce and promote new training techniques and methods in the country. Therefore, I try to take an interest in that area and provide school children with as many opportunities as possible to learn about the evolving methods of discipline. I think that is what I should be doing and should pay attention to.

First of all, I don't think recruiting members will be a major problem. Although the number of members is small at the start, I believe it will gradually increase through various events and projects. Because everyone is interested in horse training. The biggest challenge is that we must lead the divided horse training divisions together.There is a concern about how to unify the two, given that trainers are scattered across the country and the two industries horse racing and equestrianism are divided

Just as men’s ambition drives them to drive supercars, equestrians also feel the desire to ride fine horses; this is a shared trait. There are many car companies with horses as their logo, and some Korean cars in the past also had horses as their theme. And just as there are various types of cars work, sport, transport, and so on the same goes with language. Just as car enthusiasts cherish and decorate their vehicles, grooming horses and giving them a nice haircut shows that there are many similarities.

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.

It is also reported that the new emergency committee of the Seoul Owners’ Association, which had previously threatened to block registration, is now in the final stages of talks with the Korea Racing Authority, raising hopes that the turmoil surrounding the horse racing reform plan that shook the industry will be fully resolved and provide a solid foundation for the development of Korean horse racing.We never wanted the unpleasant stories from within to reach the fans. Improving the negative perception of horse racing from the outside is likely the ultimate goal desired not only by our related organizations but also by the Korea Racing Authority.

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.

Many aspects are used purely for exercise and educational purposes, regardless of money, but it is unfortunate that the media focuses too much on some of the negative sides of equestrianism. The story of the Imjado Youth Equestrian Team in Sinan, Jeollanam-do, was even broadcast, but that should be brought out into the wider public.Last year, a tournament that would leave a mark on Korean student equestrianism was held at Daemyung Vivaldi Park in Hongcheon,

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.
