Where training was once given to untrained horses and conducted alongside racehorse training, now the focus is on racehorse training and race participation. The overall level rises significantly. From 2018 to 2023, only vehicles that pass the driving inspection will be accepted. I drew the roadmap in this way. After receiving approval, we were alarmed and held briefing sessions for therapists, trainers, trainees, and owners last year.We created a standard manual last year.

Last year, a roadmap was drawn in the mid- to long-term race resource management plan to strengthen the competitiveness of Jeju horse racing. Words that have not yet been trained, or whose training level has not been evaluated at all, are also brought in as racehorses. It takes about 90 days from starting training here to entering the race. We cannot continue with this system.Gradually, at first, have some of the horses that have completed the start test enter.

Second, we created a mid- to long-term roadmap to ensure that the effort does not end with simply producing and distributing manuals. Just as study patterns are shaped by the college entrance system, it is important to set the conditions and direction for entering the company as a racehorse. Although it cannot be implemented immediately, as it will take at least five years to develop the training curriculum, we will begin by signaling how the requirements for entering the racehorse industry will proceed

First, they prepared a 'school system' that organizes the production process systematically. Last year, we reviewed good research materials on how to handle production and the development of sullabiesheds, as well as how to manage their early and late stages. There is plenty of information about thoroughbreds, both abroad and in Korea, but not a single one about the Jeju horse. The standards related to 'Thoroughbred' could not be applied to Jeju horses.

Employees working at LetsRun Park Jeju had also been considering this issue, but there were limitations due to internal circumstances. Because there were various conflicts as Hallama and Jeju-ma ran together, there was no capacity to devote energy to systematic training.With the signing of the late-February 2016 industry development agreement, the obstacles to establishing a Jeju horse racing track were removed. We couldn't have carried the Jeju horse race this far.

Unlike thoroughbred horses, whose production, training, and development are systematized, these horses are being entered into racing at an unspecified age. Because they enter without proper training, their expertise is lacking, and many accidents occur. The horses are also running worse. His abilities are good, but there are also significant disparities. Overall, the quality of the race is lacking. Jeju horse racing is broadcast in Seoul and Busan, but there were complaints from customers saying,

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.

Since 2014, Deputy Director Kim Jin-gap has been in charge of managing Jeju’s racing resources at LetsRun Park Jeju, and over the course of that long period, he has continued tireless efforts as a dedicated practitioner, developing relevant policies and manuals, persuading farms, and leading training. 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.

Jeon Seong-won, current Head of the Win-Win Marketing Division and former Head of the Jeju Regional Headquarters at the time the agreement for the mutual development of the horse industry was passed, and Kim Jin-gap, Head of Jeju’s Racing Resources Management Division, have continued to engage with farmers with a sense of responsibility on this important issue, tirelessly developing and implementing related policies in the field.At a special zone meeting held in Jeju last June,

My father,upon meeting,told me to study horses.At the time I was studying Livestock Management and Distribution Economics at Konkuk University,and I thought that to study horses,I should go horseback riding. While horseback riding,I began to connect directly with horses.As I touched and rode the horses,I found myself unexpectedly captivated by their charm.I have always read books and watched videos about horses,and I dreamed of raising one while exploring various educational programs.

I had dreamed of a life of running and playing with horses, living at ease. However, the reality is that there is much to do beyond horse management, including pasture and facility maintenance and government support, which makes it challenging. At present, I am receiving help from my father and others with extensive experience in the field of horses. One advantage is that, being young, I can work with great passion. I can work for my own words without overthinking things. I still have a lot to learn,

Horseback riding is now politicized because of a series of events. In a way, the equestrians who have worked quietly until now may be victims of the Choi Soon-sil scandal.I hope Daemyung Group's 'Mayon Eohos'will be a competition that all equestrians and the public can participate in and enjoy. I also ask for your support and encouragement regarding these matters,whether from the government or the sports council.Daimyeong Group,which spares no investment in equestrian sports,is undeniably playing a leading role in the development of equestrianism in Korea.

test008

Of course,it's a sport.Horseback riding is an official event in the Olympics.The recent issue surrounding Jung Yoo ra also manifested negatively in political contexts.It is unfortunate that horseback riding is viewed negatively because of that.Some even call it Korea's Olympia Horse Show,but how do you hope the public perceives the Mayon Eohos.Mayon Eohos is continuously evolving,and its future will also play a role in popularizing horseback riding.I am confident about that as well.However,I don't know how long it will take.

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.

Livestock Industry and the Horse Industry Promotion Act, and standardization by unit.Growing the number of equestrian participants is the most important part. We will promote grassroots equestrian competitions centered on self-governing clubs and local communities to foster positive feedback through a review system, and hold more youth equestrian competitions to encourage student participation. Programs for safe horseback riding, such as the riding ability system, will also be included in the second comprehensive plan for expansion.

Currently, the issues of utilization and training are important in the horse industry. There are areas that can be handled with riding horses, and the 1,200 race retired horses each year also need proper training, but the training system has been lacking. In a way, I thought training was difficult, so there were parts where I couldn't develop systematically. Retired racehorses that can be trained are being developed through a proactive, systematic education system, while challenging areas are boldly diversified in use.

test008

Although these issues have been sidelined recently due to various challenges such as drought and avian influenza within the Livestock Bureau, I think we need to hold another on site discussion once they are resolved.The primary purpose of the livestock industry is to provide the public with safe livestock derived food in a stable manner. In contrast, the horse industry aims to improve the quality of life for the public by training and utilizing horses. The laws are different.

test008

Since the law also provides grounds for insurance support, I am considering how to get involved in the insurance issue.Issues regarding the installation of equestrian facilities, such as whether they can be set up within agricultural promotion zones and the inability to build large scale facilities within greenbelt areas, have yet to be resolved. There is also the problem of worsening the equestrian industry's management due to the inability to use agricultural electricity. I believe this issue stems from the fundamental question

Horse racing has had a negative image among the public, being seen more as an industry of gambling and a form of addiction than as a source of enjoyment in itself.It is a problem I continue to ponder, but there are significant difficulties in creating an equestrian industry that the entire nation can enjoy as a healthy horse racing sector and a wholesome sport.In 2011, we enacted the Horse Industry Promotion Act,and in 2012,we established the first Fi Year Comprehensive Plan,which was completed last year.

Recently, I have even been entrusted with traditional bullfighting duties.As of last year, the first five-year comprehensive plan for horse industry development has come to an end.Although this year is full of complex and varied matters,it is time to analyze the first plan and announce the second.However,due to various changes in domestic conditions, such as the issue of state affairs manipulation and the need to present a new vision after the new government’s launch,the content is still being revised.
