Therefore, I believe we need to transform the current stranded projects into a virtuous cycle that encompasses the entire market, including the sales market. In particular, the construction of a large dedicated equestrian stadium is considered the most important. There must be an equestrian stadium where long-term competitions can be held, and through those events, the production and sale of domestic horses, feed, tack, and everything else can be promoted and revitalized.

In response, Daemyung has added the auction section.We conducted it differently from previous auctions. However, fundamental measures are necessary for the development of the horse industry.Over the past five years,we have launched a horse industry project as a government initiative. As far as I know,it all began between 2011 and 2012; while the first five years were focused on building 500 equestrian venues and training specialized personnel as part of the initial project,

Last year, it was held on the turf track, and this year it took place at the Sonofelice Equestrian Club. It was partly because I wanted to introduce and showcase Sonopellice Equestrian Club to the public, and also because, last year, the practice grounds and other facilities were inadequate, preventing us from providing the horses with the best possible environment. This year, we played in a dedicated arena so the horses could compete in their best condition. Although it lacked the beauty and style of a grass field,

However, Daemyung is striving not only to broaden the base of equestrianism but also to stay true to the original spirit of 'Mayon Eohos.' We plan to continue advancing the fusion of sports and culture, unshaken by any external pressures.Kim Hong-chul, former head coach of the national equestrian team, was seen not leaving the venue for the entire three days of the Mayon Eohos/2017 Daemyung Cup CSI3. Before the obstacle race, he showed his passionate dedication to equestrianism by personally explaining the course to the audience.

May On Eohos' was launched with the aim of raising public interest in equestrianism, a sport of healing. In particular, Mayon Eohos has strived to learn from the leading European trends in equestrianism and create a competition that stands shoulder to shoulder with them, which has led to its establishment as the Mayon Eohos we know today. A special venue was set up on natural grass, incorporating cultural content that has captured the public’s interest.Compared to baseball, which has risen to become a leading sport in Korea,

First, employees should visit farms in person to inform them, show them what these programs are, and encourage their attendance. So this year, we are visiting every farm individually to share the news of the manual’s production and showing the videos on CDs.Rather than limiting themselves to the racetrack or merely promoting the program, they are visiting farms in the eastern and western regions to demonstrate it firsthand. This shows them in actual training.

Our students are truly amazing. We start our workday at 5 a.m., caring for, educating, and volunteering with the horses until 9 p.m. They do not voluntarily leave for home, and sometimes stay at school even on weekends, in addition to after-school activities. The school spares no effort in providing various benefits, perks, and support for hardworking students. The majority of students are satisfied with their school life.Because the age limit for the horse industry certification exam is 18, even those who are clearly capable are unable to take it.

Actually, I was thinking about retiring this year. After surgery for a stomachache two years ago, I developed cellulitis twice in August last year. I thought I should retire now and live in peace. They planned to retire her around April and send her to Jangsu to mate with 'Rico' and have offspring, but the portion taken by 'Classic Girl' was too large, so it did not materialize. It is said that, due to her age, the chances of giving birth to a foal are also low. I plan to use it as a master’s horse to carry students in the future.Youth equestrianism must not lose sight of its essence as education.

Currently, youth equestrian programs are more focused on competition than on education. I think it's enough to just go fast, even if it means not driving carefully. At competitions, coaches do not instruct players on how to hit accurately but instead say things like, "Go quickly" or "Turn." This is not education. When children are young, matches should include education rather than just determining first, second, or third place.Since the last Sangju Games, they have implemented the Standard Jumping Class, a modified version of the American hunter event. Standard jumping is a discipline that requires a great deal of training. If you don't hit the ball accurately, you won't place. Youth equestrianism must be based on education to advance Korea into a leading equestrian nation in the long term.

As a supervisor in the Vocational Education Division of the Jeonbuk Provincial Office of Education, I have been interested in specialized high schools and employment issues in the Jeonbuk region. At the beginning of 2013, I was recommended for appointment through the principal's open recruitment system, and when I took office in March, I felt a sense of responsibility.On October 1, 2013, my first year in office, I was designated as a specialized institution for training professionals in the horse industry, and after spending three weeks training with students in Lyon, France, where the Horse Industry Expo was held, I began reflecting on the education our students needed and the teaching methods of a vocational school.

Since being designated as a Meister High School in the horse industry sector by the Ministry of Education, we have been operating a second class in the horse industry department from 2014, educating 40 students each year.

Specialized high schools that combine equestrian and horse racing are rare even on a global scale. Our school was once on the brink of closure, with only seven students per class, but by transitioning into a specialized high school, it established its foundation and is now recognized as an exemplary model of advanced education.The herd has grown from 25 to 71 horses compared to three years ago, and I handle everything from breeding to management myself. We have nearly doubled the number of teachers, sending them for training and helping them obtain various instructor certifications, so they are actively working as professional educators. We have built infrastructure and educational programs that advanced horse industry nations envy, serving as a cradle of professional training superior to that of universities.

It is also an animal capable of communicating with humans. When I felt upset or depressed, hugging him would melt my heart.Loving words comes first and foremost. Loving horses breeds a passion for them. I hope that with that passion, they can achieve what we couldn't. To develop equestrianism in South Korea, we may not have enough time, but young equestrian talents have a great deal of time and limitless potential for growth.Amid this, there is someone personally rushing around searching for students’ 'food' and traveling overseas and to various job sites to help them find employment. Although his retirement is four months away, he remains as consistent as he was when he took office three years ago.

If it focuses solely on results, it may shine briefly, but it is no different from equestrianism in our generation.It is a book documenting episodes involving the 'Classic Girl." The content includes not only episodes but also technical aspects. As I wrote the script, it felt like I was telling the story of my relationship and married life with 'Classic Girl." They push and pull, fight, sulk, and engage in power struggles, only to regret it when one of them gets hurt. Though the time may be short, it already feels as if I have lived a full life.The horse is the most beautiful animal bestowed by the gods. I think they are very beautiful and, unlike deer or other animals, possess a moderate level of aggressiveness, which allows them to live in harmony with humans.

If the payout rates for horse racing are increased and the resumption of online betting, which had been blocked since 2009, leads to a revival of horse racing, it is clear that the horse industry will naturally be revitalized as well.I hope many horse racing fans will show interest. It can only be realized with the support and interest of 150,000 horse racing fans; otherwise, it would be impossible. I ask for your active participation and attention in securing the basic rights of horse racing fans.

Most people think of horse racing as gambling. However, quite a large number of people actually enjoy horse racing as a leisure activity in their daily lives. If the environment and culture of horse racing are improved so that it can be enjoyed as a leisure activity and the horse racing industry is revitalized, the equine industry will also thrive. I believe that revitalizing the horse industry can also provide great benefits to our society.First of all, I think it would be wonderful if the

Hallama’s direction has been set toward becoming a riding horse. What is regrettable is that, despite reaching an agreement, having policies prepared, and the association being properly managed, we simply wasted two years due to internal conflict instead of receiving policy funding. They failed to secure even a national project.As a result, converting Hallama into a riding horse has become a burden. But I will keep helping along the way.

In the case of Thoroughbreds, the Korea Racing Authority has invested a large sum of money in producing and training them even before they become racehorses. They put a lot of effort into the pre-race stage by establishing a jangsu and a Jeju ranch and managing personnel.In contrast, there was no such effort at all for Jeju horses. The general public’s perception of Jeju horses, and even that of Korea Racing Authority employees, is that "Jeju horses just need to be let off the horse and run.

On May 7, we met with Kim Jin-gap, head of race resource management at LetsRun Park Jeju, on site to hear about the progress, including the systematic breeding process of race Jeju horses.
