Let's Run Park Busan and South Gyeongsang Province also established the Busan and South Gyeongsang Province Horse Racing Scholarship in 2007 and are actively carrying out scholarship projects until now. Many of the faces voluntarily donate and contribute to society, but among them, Kwak Jong-soo, better known as the face of 'Mr. Park', stands out. I visited Kwak Jong-soo's office in Seocho-gu, Seoul for an interview on the 24th of last month. When I entered the room, I was filled with various citations and appreciation plaques. What stood out was the certificate of appreciation I received from the National Tax Service. As an entrepreneur, I felt like I had fulfilled my duty to pay sincere tax.

The 'Parksil Riding Club Youth Horseback Riding Team' in Gijang, Busan, was selected for the 'Riding Club of the Year' category. It was the first overall winning team of the "2018 Youth Horseback Riding Club League," which debuted in Korea last year, and showed an even performance throughout the year. In addition, it contributed to the voluntary promotion of youth horseback riding in competitions other than regional league matches. The main players, Park Geun-do, Dr. Rang, and Kim Jong-hyun, alternately performed well in each competition, leading the 'Parksil Youth Horseback Riding Team' to the overall championship. Unfortunately, he ranked second in the Yeongnam region preliminary round, which was held over three times, but he showed an overwhelming performance in the final round. In particular, Park Geun-do showed outstanding plays by winning three gold medals from the first preliminary round, winning both team and individual competitions.

However, I personally don't like it when people say that the score came out well and the teamwork was good. I became an "honorary jockey" in 2015. It seems to have been benefited from Busan's first records. Many jockeys' dream is to be an "honor jockey." Watching Park Tae-jong as a jockey in Seoul, I also dreamed of becoming an "honor jockey." It is a pity that it was achieved in Busan, but another goal is to win 1,000 games. And now, there are more foreign jockeys, and before retiring, they will show their aides that Korean jockeys are never behind foreign jockeys. This year, I am going to challenge for an assistant teacher's license. The "honor jockeys" are exempt from the assistant teacher exam. Only the interview is left. I plan to change to assistant teacher after two or three more years.

Every jockey has his own know-how, but I think he knows a little more about horses because I have ridden horses longer than my juniors. I made my debut as a jockey in Seoul. I was playing in Seoul and was assigned here when the racetrack opened in Busan. The difference is that Seoul tries to maintain classical horse racing, but Busan tries to imitate a lot of advanced horse racing with an open mind. Busan horses have much better abilities than Seoul. The training pattern itself is mainly 100m to 150m longer than Seoul, so Busan horses have much stronger endurance than Seoul horses. Seoul tends to use horses for a long time, but Busan immediately sends them on vacation or replaces them if the horses seem strange. For this reason, Busan seems to perform better than Seoul.

You need to know what you are saying and continue your training while keeping pace. In training, not only running, but also warming up your body and doing it together from the beginning to the end. In 2015, I was seriously injured. I was in a fall accident while playing, and I fractured my toe, pelvis, and waist bone. Fortunately, I was discharged from the hospital after wearing a cast without major surgery. I took a month off and went to the racetrack again without any bones sticking together. Until now, there have been many injuries that have been cracked in my bones, but there have been no major surgeries other than surgery due to broken ligaments in my fingers.

In addition to the successful hosting of the HETI General Assembly in Korea, the Korea Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Association continued its activities to develop the domestic horse industry. It held domestic and foreign academic conferences more than twice a year to provide the latest educational information on rehabilitation horses and distribute them, and provided indirect ideas to the government's goal of improving the quality of life of the people. The reason why the 2021 HETI General Assembly" is more expected to be held in Korea is because it is an event related to the international horse industry, which will be held in the 10th anniversary of the enactment of the Horse Industry Promotion Act." With a large number of officials from 49 federations (associations) from 30 countries around the world expected to participate, it is a golden opportunity to gauge the performance and location of the domestic horse industry.

It also did not miss out on the exercise effect and function of horseback riding. "The best exercise for mental and physical health is horseback riding," he said, stressing that although many people consider it only a high-end sport, it should be popularized. When I visited Italy, I saw a private horse riding center with horse-riding facilities, and it was impressive that the members rode horses for their own sport. You have to give attention and love to horses. In fact, raising horses is more fun than riding horses. If you give them love, they are closer than friends. Horses are the closest pets to people. At one point, I used to wake them up by playing music in the morning when I was raising a horse. If you are a true lover, you should know that it is important to ride horses while watching their breathing

Whenever he comes for horseback riding, he brings a carrot and sugar for his horse. He is grateful for the horse that protects his health and the horse that gives up its back for him. The horses carrying Koo also seemed to express gratitude with his eyes. He is lucky to have met the Haman County Horseback Riding Park, where he can ride his favorite horse at any time in his old age. "The Haman County Horseback Riding Park is a great blessing for our county residents," Koo said. "The trinity of safe facilities, safe horses and a great system has been achieved, and all the staff members worked hard for the county residents, so they can ride horses safely and feel reassured." Koo said he hopes Haman, his hometown and hometown, will develop into a city specializing in the horse industry.

You can't keep the old road alive, but you can modernize Yeokcham and use it as a horseback-riding leisure center. Here, rural horse-riding grounds create cooperatives, and the government can support and build a massage here. Of course, the road connecting Yeokcham and Yeokcham is the rice bowl of the rural horse-riding grounds themselves, so you have to clean up and manage the horse-riding. The rural horse-riding grounds that produce horses should be centered on simple experiences, and leisure should go to the horseback-riding leisure trekking course. There are rest areas and accommodation facilities where you can rest at the station, and local agricultural products stores can be a space that blends well with the horse-riding industry and rural areas.

They are clearly different from the Japanese children. I went to a Japanese crane horseback riding station and saw Japanese children riding, but they were definitely different. Looking at this, I think the mural of the Goguryeo Dance Gun is not false but true. If the horse industry is nurtured well, it will be a huge industry. It is expected that there will be an employment effect of 50-600,000 people, including the employment effect of 300,000 people and related industries. It is also suitable for the trend of young people these days, who do it if they like it. You can become a decent profession where you can make money, teach children, and compete while riding horses. People who don't know say it smells like horse poop.

However, there are trials and errors and difficulties because the guidelines have not been established for sure. If you use a analogy with building a highway, in order to build a huge highway, you must draw a big picture, from where to where to put the road, how to put it, and how many lanes to put it, and design and cultivate each section within that framework to build a highway. Even though it is said as 'mal industry', there is no big frame on how to go and how to get there. Businessmen refer to reality today and invest and wait for the future if they have a vision and desire for the future, even if reality is difficult and difficult today. On the other hand, no matter how good the reality is today, they do not invest unless they have a vision for the future.

For the new leap of Let's Run Park Busan and Gyeongnam, we will develop Let's Run Park into a local representative tourist attraction by maximizing the various advantages of leisure, culture and tourism centered on horses as well as implementing world-class horse racing." Chung Hyung-seok, former head of the process division, was appointed as the head of the Jeju regional division by the transfer of Choi Won-il. Chung, the new head of the Jeju regional division, is from Sokcho, Gangwon Province, graduated from Yonsei University Graduate School of Public Administration, and joined the Korean Horse Racing Association in 1986 to serve as the head of the Jeju Race Team, the Jeju Race Project Director, the Chief of Judgment, and the head of the process division.

As such, the role of horse trainers is also important to foster the horse industry. I think the horse industry is in a recession right now. Not only horse riding after horse riding preferential treatment, but also in all horse industries. Under these circumstances, the horse industry must work together. Rather than putting forward only their own interests, each association should put their heads together and think deeply about how to develop the industry instead of coming together to overcome the current difficult situation. Of course, horse society sales are on the decline right now, and the view of the horse industry is not good, but if we put our heads together and move toward development, we will find a breakthrough.

Many changes are already taking place around the world, but Korea's training technology is not keeping up with the trend yet. We must quickly accept advanced technologies in line with the flow of change. I think the most important thing is to introduce and inform new training technologies and methods in Korea. So I'm trying to be interested in that area, and I'm trying to provide the school children with the maximum opportunity to experience the changing training methods every day. I think that's what I should do and I should pay attention to. In addition, I think it should be possible for our students to find employment not only in Korea but also in foreign countries. If 'cultivation' is cutting and cutting wood to make materials,

Whether there are a lot of members at the beginning of the association, I think it will increase as more and more events and businesses are carried out. This is because everyone is interested in training horses. The biggest difficulty is that we must lead the divided horse training field together. At a time when trainers are currently scattered across the country, and horse racing and horseback riding are divided, there is a question of how to unite them. So, in the first year, I will pay great attention to integration and try to come up with a solution. Horseback riding is not divided into horse-riding and horse-riding, but horse-riding is in charge of training, and the horse-riding side is in charge of the part that can be done by the horse-riding side, but it should go together.

Just as men's ambitions are to ride supercars, horseback riders also want to ride good horses. There are several automobile companies that mark horses in cars, and some Korean cars in the past had the theme of horses. And just as cars are diverse, such as work, sports, and transportation, don't they have the same words? There are quite a few similarities when it comes to car manias who care about cars and brush horses and grind them beautifully, just as they decorate them. Choi Byung-wook, CEO of iMotors Co., Ltd., who was elected as the 36th president of the Student Horse Association after the 35th, told this newspaper that he will try to develop Korean horseback riding beyond the development of youth

In addition, IN and OUT will be entered depending on whether indoors or outdoors, and the number will be entered according to the length and height. And in that year, the same course from the preliminary round to the finals will be operated all year round. It plans to hold a horse industry education fair this year and further deepen it. At this meeting, a meeting will be held on how to hold a winter youth horse racing camp using excellent horse racing facilities of the horse industry professional human resources training institution. Professor Jang Seok-am of Dankook University, who is currently the president of the Chungnam Horse Racing Association, has been asked to hold a meeting. It will be able to help each training institution while promoting youth horse racing education

Among the youth horseback riding sports, there is a Hunter Games event that looks at the accuracy of posture. Student horseback riding needs an educational purpose that encourages them to ride accurately rather than giving good results right away.Therefore, we plan to revitalize a sport called Korea Standard Jumping, which applies the Hunter Games event. Lee Jong-eun, former president of the Student Horses Association, also attracted and conducted training related to the Hunter Games at his own expense for student horseback riding, but the current board members of the Student Horses Association received training. In order to develop according to the situation in Korea, they have held symposiums, tested them, and continued to hold judging sessions.

The Korea Federation of Horseback-riding has nothing to do with politics. It is more effective to use video clips of the federation's website or use social media to communicate horseback riding in writing. Based on the video content of the competition, we are planning to hold more youth games from this year. We plan to hold many competitions including regional competitions and qualifying matches for the club league. If the video of the competition is broadcast live here, you can see horse races in other regions anywhere in the country. The youth competition held in Imja Island, Sinan, South Jeolla Province, can be viewed by student horseback riding players in Gangneung, Gangwon Province without having to go there in person.

Originally, the government planned to hold a youth equestrian event in the square in front of Seoul City Hall, but it did not go well. Then, the plan was to change it to a park behind the National Assembly building in Yeouido, Seoul, and push for it again, but it failed at the end. As the plan was finally changed to hold the event within the Korean Racing Authority, the association decided to hold the event directly from the event to the establishment of the venue. Previously, there was a budget in consideration of the installation of stands and LED lights required to hold events in other places, but it seems that it was pointed out that it was a lax operation in the process of implementing it. And to some extent, I agree with the lack of management.

In this regard, the Student Horses Association believes that the youth should work harder to revive the crisis as an opportunity. Since I am a person who runs a business, I am trying to introduce a 'management mind' to the operation of the Student Horses Association. It is a kind of hide-and-seek concept. I will receive consulting from an expert, and if there is a talented person, I will recruit and work with him. In the past, the Korean Horse Racing Association provided service to sports marketing experts to prepare a plan to revitalize the horse racing competition. I plan to visit sports marketing experts such as Jeong Hee-yoon, a visiting professor at Hanyang University, who was in charge of the service business at the time,

Chairman Choi Byung-wook, who was elected in a by-election held due to the resignation of his former chairman and began to take the helm of the student horse riding, is a former equestrian athlete and has been regarded as the right person to be the head of the student horse riding industry, including former student horse riding association executives, face-to-face association executives, and outside directors of the Korea Horse Association, and has been working to develop student horseback riding based on his field experience while serving as the president of the student horse riding association for the past two years. He met with Choi Byung-wook, president of the student horse riding association, who is also the CEO of iMotors,

Horse racing is not a gambling, gambling, or gambling industry, but an entertainment industry. Above all, he also said that we should keep our pride and take pride in our face to face. Regarding the reality that the horse industry should be distributed to the public, he said, "The horse industry should also be illuminated from an industrial perspective." It is also important to remove regulations, increase the recovery rate, and raise prize money, and once this virtuous cycle structure is established, a lot of good domestic horses will be produced, making it a world-class racehorse and a story will be made. "The horse industry is a representative industry that contributes not only to the national economy but also to the development of farming and fishing villages,

Due to prejudice against the horse industry, we met by chance, but when we saw "Seokseth Story" playing an active role in Dubai, we felt proud to face each other. It is now a great joy and fun to work in the horse industry, one of the pillars of Korea's industry, he said. "I think I did a really good job after facing each other. It's the best choice in my life." As for the secret to maintaining good grades, he said, "There are not many things we can actually face each other," and added, "Basically, I trust the assistant teachers and managers. Trust is the most important thing." The reason why he performed so well in Dubai was also emphasized, "It's not because I did it, but because of the assistant teachers and managers who did all the hard work,
