Starting in the fall semester, the master's course in the 'horse industry' will be opened for the first time in Korea. I promoted it when I was a sports industry major at Sejong University's Graduate School of Industrial Science. In the department of sports industry, four majors were prepared: horse industry management, sports marketing, sports medicine, and sports tourism. I think I'm really worried about what I'm saying, and I want to develop the horse industry into a true industry. If an industry seeks to develop, it must increase the number of expert groups in that field. In that sense, opening a graduate master's course specializing in the horse industry is of great significance.

Lectures that combine theory and know-how from field experience are being conducted. The union was formed with the will to develop the horse industry, but there are difficulties due to a number of real problems. First of all, the legal system needs to be improved. For example, there is a problem with horse riding insurance, and insurance premiums vary from company to company and it is expensive. There are limitations to the current law in building a horse riding course in the grassland. As such, there are many sorrows and sorrows at the horse riding center in Jeju. Therefore, he is receiving policy advice from a lawyer and a former mayor of Seogwipo as outside directors of the union. He has appointed Gil Yong-woo, an actor, as a public relations ambassador and is also trying to revitalize the union.

Professor Kim, who is more inspired by poetry as he starts learning horseback riding, is actually a marketing education expert who has nothing to do with the horse industry. An expert in a field unrelated to the horse industry, he started out on the outskirts of the horse industry, but he is faithfully playing the role of an educator to convey the charm of horse riding to corporate CEOs and opinion leaders and to establish a proper horse-riding culture. Starting in September, the graduate school will open a master's course specializing in the horse industry for the first time in Korea. Currently, bachelor's courses in the field of horse industry are opened at several universities,

Cooperative. It refers to a non-profit organization in which farmers and small and medium-sized business owners, who are economically weak, gather to purchase, produce, sell, and consume goods. There have been no cooperatives in the horse industry. Although the union was promoted mainly by some representatives of horse racing courses, it is still sluggish due to practical problems such as not being able to sympathize with the union's philosophy of pursuing "non-profit" or not finding a leader. Although Jeju Island was designated as a special horse industry zone on January 2 this year, the Korean horse industry is still in its infancy. It is also time to prepare for the growth of the horse racing industry, which will become a major sports activity in the $30,000 era. However, there is a limitation that Jeju has only a group of producers. They joined forces with experts from all walks of life, companies related to value-added industries, and travel agencies to develop the horse industry, a new growth engine.

Until now, there have been two ways for jangje-sa to acquire a certificate after going through a national qualification test or a training course for the Korean Horse Association. After going through the national qualification test, it was possible to acquire the ritual for horseback riding, and after acquiring the qualification through a training course for the Korean Horse Association. Recently, however, the Korean Horse Association's Jangje-sa Training Course has been abolished, allowing only those who pass the national qualification test to engage in the ritual for jangje-sa. If one acquires a certificate for jangje-sa through the national qualification test, he or she will be able to acquire the ritual for horse riding as well as for horse riding.

In other words, the money earned from the horse racing industry is providing enormous support for raising cattle and pigs. With the recent implementation of the Horse Industry Promotion Act, despite the need for enormous finances to revitalize the horse industry, which is highly likely to succeed as the sixth industry, if all of the special reserves of the horse society are incorporated into the horse development fund and operated as the national budget, financial support will still be limited to a small portion of the relatively small horse industry. In addition, the horse society has been carrying out various projects for fostering the horse industry and social return projects with special reserves, but as they are included in the government's budget system in the future, there is a high probability that the horse society will lose the initiative in the project.

People say that the fresh valley campground where the nature is spread and the pea bone food that people can taste at outdoor facilities are perfect for summer vacation. Besides this, the program offers various hands-on programs and lodging facilities such as Jang Hak, Kimjang, Goraeso, and Tea Ceremony Education.

Jang Byung-woon, head of the Korea Racing Association's race system transition TF team, explained the change in handicap racing following the introduction of the rating, saying, "We will announce the preliminary announcement of the rating from the first team handicap race in October this year and the adjustment of the rating immediately after the race."

Racing Media CEO Kim Moon-young, who presented the race, pointed out that the current military system needs to be completely reorganized through a comparison of the race system between Seoul and Pukyong, and argued that horse racing competitions should be improved to a system tailored to individual characteristics. Regarding the distribution of prize money in the ranking, it should be faithful to the fundamental nature of horse racing, which is the loss of the championship, but this forces the sacrifice of the opponents, and said that the profit-making part should gradually increase for the development of the horse racing industry. In conclusion, Kim said that the biggest difference in the system between Seoul and Pukyong can be summarized as stable operation and infinite competition, and argued that the only answer to resolving various conflicts between Seoul and Pukyong is to unify all implementation systems.

Unfortunately, the horse racing industry itself is not connected to the general society and there are few related industries, so I am an expert here, but there is nothing to do if I quit. I think it's a big problem. I hope the horse industry itself will settle down. I also hope that all fields, including horse racing, horse riding, rehabilitation, production, and fostering, will be systematically established. The purpose of the fellowship is pure.
