In Japan, 10 students are sent to Northern Farm for training each year. I really liked the Japanese ranch, so I applied through the on-site experience announcement after checking the website, and with the help of former Seoul Owners Association President Ji Dae seop and Northern Farm President, I was able to secure a position. Northern Farm is so interested in our students that they have spent 1 billion won separately to build a training center and invite them.In the United States, the pinnacle of private education is the equestrian program.

Because the age limit for the horse industry certification exam is 18, even those who are clearly capable are unable to take it. I have heard that parents have even filed complaints with the government’s grievance portal, demanding that the age limit be lowered to 18 from the moment students enroll. In the case of technical high schools, there is a need to transport machinery, so some are moving to lower the age limit to make a driver's license mandatory for enrolled students I've heard it.To cultivate future talent,

While the facilities, infrastructure, and curriculum are top notch, I believe the quality of instruction has yet to improve in proportion to these outward developments. Since being designated as a Meister High School, students’ levels have risen, but I feel concerned that they are struggling during theory classes because practical lessons are being taught alongside them.This is also why we have increased the emphasis on basic physical fitness during the interview process for student selection starting this year.Honestly,I feel very sorry to the teachers.

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 specialized educators.

After opening as Unbong Livestock High School in 1969, it was converted into a specialized high school at the end of 2003 and renamed Korea Racing and Livestock High 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. We receive support from the government for textbook development, teacher training, and funding, and, together with the Korea Racing Authority,

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 quicklyor 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,

It also aims to lead government policy by proactively achieving the new administration’s national agenda, such as a job-centered creative economy and customized employment welfare.To implement this new concept of social contribution, the Korea Racing Authority has been working to establish the specialized social contribution foundation, the “Lets Run Foundation,” and received final approval from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs on Tuesday the 18th, a day before the launch ceremony. The 'Let's Run Foundation' will begin its operations with a budget of 7.7 billion won, funded by 7.6 billion won in donations from the Korea Racing Authority and 100 million won in contributions from its employees. Its main activities cover five areas: job creation, talent development, cultural prosperity, welfare enhancement for vulnerable groups, and horse racing customer participation and network-based social contribution.

Even if you face it head on, only struggle at the moment; the next day,don’t bottle it up start anew. If you compare it to a person, it has strong patience.What worries me and makes me fearful while teaching horses is that they might give up.If you give up on other things, no matter what a person tries,it won't work. In some cases,the determination to do it is so strong that it feels as if a classical girl is mocking you, saying,Is this all you've got? If I were a person,should I call him 'Joan of Arc'?Actually, I was thinking about retiring this year.

However, horse galasos are the domain of event planners; I believe my role is to promote elite equestrianism to the public.We planned to hold various events alongside the equestrian competition.They would hold a 6-lap obstacle course event in the venue with the lights on,while setting up parasols along both sides for people to enjoy chicken and beer parties or picnics.It would be great to invite K POP artists and have a performance as well.Ahead of the Guangzhou Asian Games, I visited Germany in early 2010 to purchase horses for athletes and training.

All the friends I started with back then quit, but I stayed with Malwa until the very end.Choi Joon-sang quit due to personal reasons after the Guangzhou Asian Games. Since Choi Junsang was the only dressage athlete, someone else had to compete in dressage. Director Park Jae-hong recommended me.

Other key innovation tasks include 'creating future value through business diversification' and 'strengthening capabilities as a leading company in social contribution.'The Korea Racing Authority’s final, third, and most focused public promise—the promotion of a Social Contribution Foundation—centers on "transforming into a national enterprise by strengthening social contribution activities" and "enhancing the expertise of social contribution through the participation of external experts and organizations."

In the case of Pukyong Race Park, it seems there was a perception that, due to an early shortage of racehorse resources, the horses were kept in a four-horse system and thus had a somewhat shorter utilization period compared to Seoul Race Park. The competition among BUKGyeong trainers is tougher than in Seoul, so the training volume and intensity are higher. For this reason, the turnover rate appears to be high in the actual statistics. Currently, with the shift to a five-organization system, the period of use of racehorses is gradually increasing at Pukyong Racecourse Park. Basically, a horse's rotation rate or utilization period depends on the characteristics of each racetrack, so it is impossible to definitively say that any one place is the standard.

Restaurants should close by midnight to create the perception and image of delicious horse meat served at the table, and the administration should support this effort. In addition, the pilot grading program was discontinued starting this year. All consumers buy meat based on its grade. In special zone projects, support is provided only for rehabilitation, horseback riding, and infrastructure, but to expand the horse meat market, continuous support must be given to farmers, including distribution and the establishment of a grading system.

Because I had witnessed my mother in law, who had a stroke,recover completely in the same way.Old ancestors personally saw the benefits of horse meat,pills,and extracts for stroke and osteoporosis.Perhaps for that reason,she is also very interested in businesses that utilize byproducts such as horse oil cosmetics and soap.A few years ago,I refined my own oil and made horsehair soap, and I passed on the technique to a company.I’ve tried Japanese products,but they also said that our cosmetics made with Jeju horse oil are of good quality.It is also scheduled to be sold overseas.

Some even receive it from mainland restaurants, claiming it is 'Jeju grown horse meat.' It's because of a cost benefit analysis. Producing and distributing high quality meat may bring in less immediate profit, but it brings us one step closer to popularizing it through taste, and it is certain that more people will seek it; however, the popularization of horse meat is only bruised by commercialism.The reason our horse industry is going backward now is that certain individuals closely tied to money are creating a quagmire. It was due to my naive mindset that as long as I ate well and lived well, that was enough.

Promoting horse meatBut it is something that blurs the image. It's not the size of the meat that matters, but the breed. Shouldn't they serve high quality, delicious meat at such a major event for residents and tourists. Tourists might not seek out horse meat again after returning to the mainland unless they taste it deliciously when they visit Jeju. Consumers will develop a positive perception only if the horse meat restaurants, suppliers, and sellers all look ahead and provide high quality meat. It really upsets me when people who have eaten horse meat say it smells.

However, she never treats horses meaning racehorses as 'big horses.Inland,a horse mackerel can be bought in Jeju for 700,000 to 800,000 won. It costs about 10,000 won per kilogram, so even if you use only 50% of the amount for meat, that's 2 million won; and if you further process and sell it as food, the profit is even greater. Even so, he insists on having only a Halla horse and a Jeju horse. It was because they never gave up on their original motivation for opening the restaurant: the principle of serving fresh, high-quality meat to their customers.

Jeju horses have good marbling and a savory flavor, but their somewhat tough texture is a drawback. If you run to Gyeongju, there's no marbling. Even among the same yamamaro, the one with less racehorse blood is of better quality. Breedings that combine Jeju horses and traditional horses tend to have better marbling.He also said that while cattle and other livestock receive a lot of support from farmers, horses receive almost none. Fattening a cat costs about 10 million won a year. There was no support for castration costs or slaughter expenses.

It has already been over 20 years since she stepped up to support the family in place of her husband. It has now become a bona fide 'representative' in the province, with the largest number of pigs being fattened and distributed. Now, having focused on fattening about 200 Hanlama horses, it is operating with stability. They produce, breed, distribute, and sell the horses themselves, while developing by-products into soap and extracts.
