One of the selected friends recommended me to my teacher, saying that I am good at sports. At that time, it cost quite a lot to ride horses. My parents said that I should stop riding because I was not well-off, but I thought I would die if I did not ride horses. All my friends who started together at that time quit, but I stayed with them until the end. Choi Joon-sang quit due to personal reasons after the Guangzhou Asian Games. Because Choi Joon-sang was the only dressage player, someone had to do dressage. Coach Park Jae-hong recommended me. I declined after hearing the coach's words for a week, but after a lot of thought, I changed the sport. I felt sorry for him, and the coach told me to do both obstacles and dressage. For some time, I focused on dressage after playing both events. He chose and focused.

She found a profession called "kisoo" that could sublimate her limits to her strengths and challenged herself. Having shattered prejudice against female riders with her ability to overwhelm men, Kim Hye-sun is now a living history of Korean horse racing, breaking the record of the first female rider to win a championship each time she added one more win. The story of Kim Hye-sun was made public last year when a documentary about her daily life was introduced on a special live broadcast for the 42nd anniversary of her foundation by KBS. Kim Hye-sun, who shouted, "Don't set your own limits" as the title of the broadcast at the time, has been a free rider for about a year since 2013, and declared her free rider again in February 2015, continuing her strong run against the social prejudice of being a female athlete.

Although Kim achieved 197 wins with the victory of Ilgi Dangcheon in the 11th race on Sept. 4, it was difficult to guarantee 200 wins as she did not record a win since Aug. 20. However, she won the "Cheonji Storm" at the 7th race in the HRI Trophy on the 10th, and took a step forward to 200 wins after winning the lead race. However, on that day, she left a regret by recording only second place in the two races. Kim, who competed in the first race on the 11th when the Korea Cup took place, was in the mid-to-late four corners in line with "Lucky Money," but won 199 wins by showing excellent weight input in the straight line of the finish line. In the second race, Kim, who entered the lead but finished third, took the lead in the third race with his quickness by working with "Runner Queen" and did not allow subsequent horses to be added to the finish line and reached the 200th victory mark.

The difficulty is getting high-quality horse meat, even if Homa is boiled for more than a year. It is not a business that leaves a door, so it is not easy to ask for horses. In particular, there is a manual dealing with the method of finishing meat in the administration, but it does not fit the situation on the spot because it has to be fed still for more than two years and receive 120,000 won per kilogram. The price only increases. If Jeju Mathe Park is contributing to the contribution of Jeju to the community through horseback riding, the Madon scent cannot be left out. At the entrance of the store is a signboard of the Jeju Community Chest of Korea, a fruit of love called "Good Store, Sharing Place." It is also her "lifelong business" to use part of the proceeds for neighbors in need. She is donating a certain amount of money every month and has another scholarship project at the end of the year.

They are competing with the light taste and good quality of Jeju horses. Although the price is high, they did not start the business for the purpose of making a lot of money. I started the business to raise awareness that horse meat is delicious to consumers and tourists visiting Jeju, not to profit or profit right away. I hope it will be a place for long-time horse mates with horseback riding people and acquaintances. Madonhyang's menu includes raw beef, horse meat soup, liver, intestines, and beef, as well as flatfish and intestines. There are also Ojeop and Moksal gui of black pork, which is used directly at the Luxury Hall of the Livestock Cooperative in Seogwipo City. Instead of feed or hay, they use hydroponic equipment to grow barley sprouts and boil them. So the price is good, too. Liver and intestines, which are hard to get due to the small amount, are more than 30 percent cheaper than other restaurants in Jeju Island.

Her relationship with CEO Han Young-ja has been long. When she visited Shirinhot city, a special horse industry zone in China's Inner 蒙 Autonomous Region, in October 2014, she always spared no effort for the group she was with. I can't forget the sight of sharing fruits and snacks to the group who must have been tired from the long journey by spending her own money. She is also famous as a "mind-and-heart evangelist" by sharing her heart and soul with people who visit Jeju. She always gave a warm heart like a fishbowl to the reporter by listening to and giving advice on her life. She started at a production farm that produced and nurtured Hallama and Jeju horses, and now runs a Jeju Horse Theme Park, which is an essential course for horseback riders and is eligible for a ride, and tried another transformation this year.

Although it is not possible to do so immediately as if it would take at least five years for the curriculum to be promulgated, the conditions for joining a racehorse in the future will begin by giving signals to how to go step by step and what to prepare for the future. Last year, a roadmap was drawn from the mid- to long-term race resource management plan to strengthen the competitiveness of Jeju horse racing. Horses that are not trained now and whose level of teaching has not been evaluated at all enter the racehorse immediately. It takes about 90 days from here to starting training and finishing the race. We cannot continue with this system. Step by step, some of the horses that have finished the starting test are allowed in. In the next step, only horses that have passed the 100% starting test are allowed in.

Since last year, the provincial government, the Jeju Horse Producers Association, and the Korea Horse Association gathered to carry out the project. It was in its infancy, but it persuaded the Agriculture and Forestry Ministry to go all the way to the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, but the special zone funding was not sufficiently supported. It secured 400 million won in state funds and 400 million won in provincial funds through other routes, but as the project progressed, it could not be used due to various internal regulations or legal issues. In the case of Thoroughbred, funds are used for the horse community, but Jeju Horse Association cannot be used. If the horse is nurtured and trained well, it will create a good racehorse, which in turn strengthens the competitiveness of the horse community. After all, we are the beneficiaries.

Data is tracked and different horses are compared with horses that have been trained at pilot farms according to age. We will track and announce how early the race will be and how the grades will be after the race. We know that it will work for other farms and expect it to be distributed quickly. First, there is an aging farm problem. Aged farms cannot do this even if they want to do it together. We are devising another policy suitable for this with Jeju Halla University. The professor will make the standard manual, but since he can't do it alone, the students came in and worked on it. At the time these friends graduate, they are planning it in connection with their employment positions. In the case of aging farms, even though the process of training for tailoring when they are young is good,

However, the audience's response and gaze seen at the scene during the last two competitions were convinced that the popularization of horseback riding would not be long, and it was the driving force behind the hosting of 'Mayon A Horse 2017'. In the future, Daemyung Group will continue to take the lead in popularizing horseback riding by combining various cultures and horseback riding that the public likes. It is true that the horseback riding world briefly slowed down due to the Choi Soon-sil incident. Daemyung Group also feels sorry for the fact that horse riding students think of it as a means to go to college. However, Daemyung is trying not only to expand its base for horseback riding, but also to keep its original intention of 'Mayon A Horse'. It plans to continue to develop encounters with sports and culture without being shaken by any drafts. Kim Hong-cheol,

Among them, Kim Hong-chul, a former coach of the national equestrian team, is a key figure. Even during the Daemyung Cup, he did not leave the site for three days, and even showed his passion to explain the obstacle course to the visitors who visited the stadium. I met Kim Hong-chul, who has a special affection for horse-riding, and talked about "Mayon-a-horse" and horse-riding. The Mayon-a-horse started out with the hope of raising public interest in horse-riding, a healing sport. In particular, the "Mayon-a-horse" learned the advanced trend of Europe, the home of horse-riding, and tried to make a competition comparable to it, and as a result, it has established itself as the current "Mayon-a-horse." A special stadium was set up on natural grass and cultural contents that the public was interested in were incorporated into it.

There were about 10 horse racing officials from Korea, but in Japan, there seemed to be about 30 to 40 reporters and about 100 reporters including those from Korea. There was a ceremony last Sunday to deliver the Dubai World Cup merit defeat at the LetsRunPark Pukyong. I jokingly said this there. "Our horses will stay in a good stable like a hotel for three to four months and come back to Korea, so I'm worried about whether they will be able to adapt." Dubai's stable is like a hotel compared to our market. First of all, it has a large floor space, and air conditioning is installed in each market. And everything is pleasant. Next to it is an exercise grassland, where eight people stay. It is unimaginable for us. It is true that Dubai is a rich country. But even if it doesn't go that far, the old Martha needs to be improved first.

In July last year, several Korean horses participated in the Singapore Horse Racing Competition. One of my horses, "Triple Five," participated in the competition, but his performance was not good afterwards. His performance in the race was bad in October and November, and he took a two-month vacation. Perhaps because of that experience, he was not happy to participate in international competitions overseas and was reluctant to participate in a moment. So when I asked what horses would participate in Korea, they said that "Power Blade," "Main Stay," "Department Demention," and "Seoul Bullitt" would participate. "Triple Nine" is a representative horse in Korea who has been selected as the representative horse of the year for two consecutive years, and I decided to accept the participation because I thought I would have to participate.

Now that I think about it, I regret what it would have been like to have just one race at the Dubai World Cup Carnival. I came in second place by a one-head gap from the first place in the carnival, but I think that alone was enough to participate in Super Saturday. Korean horses, including "Triple Nine," usually competed every five to six weeks in Korea. However, in Dubai, they competed every shorter average of 20 days. They ran four races in three months, from January 19, February 9, March 5, and March 25. The words were so good that I didn't get a vote on the outside, but I also thought that I might have exhausted my energy inside. It's a consequential story, but I can't help but think that if I hadn't played twice at the Dubai World Cup Carnival, I wouldn't have finished first or second on Super Saturday, not fourth.

Although it was regrettable that it was 11th out of 13 horses in the last race, the Godolphin Mile Competition, it is said that it has shown a further improvement in Korean horse racing. And Choi Byung-bu, who faced "Triple Nine" until the final round, kept his promise with horse fans. To see the four competitions in which "Triple Nine" competed in person, I met Choi Byung-bu, who showed his affection by traveling back and forth to Dubai four times. I think that "Triple Nine"'s advance to the final round of the Dubai World Cup was meaningful in confirming the level of domestic horse. The footprint of "Triple Nine," a representative horse of Korea, on the world's best stage after being selected as the representative horse of the year for the second consecutive year, confirmed the current capability of Korean horses and also gave the current location of Korean horse racing.

The market should leave it to the market. Honestly, it is difficult to run a horse riding course. However, in the face of such difficulties, the market must research, develop, and develop it yourself. This means that front-line horse riding rinks should not be obsessed with support. If you give me support, I will have a hard time teaching each member of horse riding to make money, or I will try to go comfortably with the government's support. What if I say I stop supporting right now? You have to find an alternative to that. If you don't make your own efforts, you will definitely have difficulties. The horse industry is in a bit of a mess right now, but one day there will be a stage where it will be sorted out. I'm the one who says we need to prepare for that time.

As a result, Serimachi began to recognize me as a student, and now I live with him as a friend. The main content of the tour is the process of converting the Thoroughbred used for running into a horseback riding. It is to learn how to train horses so that people can run comfortably and safely. It is said that high-class training will be conducted from next year, the fourth year of the tour. In order for the Thoroughbred, which was used as a racehorse, to be converted into a dressage horse, I also learned dressage from Serimachi myself. Instructors Serimachi is also the coach for the Japanese national team, and he is a very famous person in Japan. The hurdle event is taught by athletes who compete in the Rio Olympics. In Korea, students bring their money and learn it from experts who deserve to be taught.

Until now, many people in Korea have enjoyed endurance sports by riding horses in Mongolian style, but it is believed that dressage and obstacles will be in the spotlight in the future. To put it simply, it will change from "beef horse" to "riding horse." Currently, there are not many dressage horses in Korea. And there are no people who can teach dressage. I thought this is the strategy for the future and started learning dressage. About five years ago in Korea, there were many concerns about whether I should use Thoroughbred or import horses. And the players said no to Thoroughbred. However, when I saw a person in Japan switch to dressage horse with Thoroughbred, I became interested in it. So when I went there and saw it in person, it really turned into a horse.

However, raising horses and running the horse racing course initially owed hundreds of millions of dollars. However, after hard work, I started to make a surplus in the horse racing course. First of all, I tried to visit local police stations and education offices to inform them about horse racing. And we talked a lot about the effects of horse riding and ways to contribute to the local community through horse riding. In the process, the local community began to pay attention little by little, and gained a great response to student horseback riding. How did you know that I had been to Japan? That's right. On March 8, I returned after training in Japan. I went to the Japanese crane riding station for training to learn horse training techniques and dressage. This is already the third year, and I have been there every year since 2015

When preparing for the agreement, the government said that if the horse is trained as a horseback-riding vehicle for about six months, it can be used as a basic ride. Just using it as a horseback-riding vehicle does not mean you expect a horse to ride, but you can ride it comfortably. Six months is sufficient. Six months can also be a long one. If the process is focused on, I think three to four months will be possible. As for Hallama, the price increases from 4 million won to 5 million won each. If the horse is trained for three to four months, the price will rise to 8 million won to 9 million won. If the training system works properly, it will not lose money. We have established policies to preserve the facility by the government if actual losses occur, but it seems that they have not been able to do so yet. We should bring those areas together.

Provincial horse racing organizations, horse racing organizations, and associations are working hard in different fields. Customers who participate in the Love Red horse race are fixed, so sales are constant, but if Thoroughbred customers who have not yet participated in the Jeju horse race are involved, sales are expected to increase by securing a new customer base. As you know, the direction of Hallama to ride horses was set as the agreement for the win-win development of the horse industry was passed. What is unfortunate is that it should have been agreed upon, policies were prepared, and the association should have been properly operated and received policy subsidies, but it just spent two years due to infighting. It also failed to win national business.

For example, after graduating, a student who has gone through a training course signs a contract with 15 farms and regularly visits the horses and trains them according to their needs and process. Instead of joining the racetrack or staying for a long time and paying consignment management fees, the plan is to pay them a training fee so that the horses can be used. We are working well with the school to proceed together. The level of infrastructure is low in the case of farmers. Circular ranches without roofs reduce horse concentration. In actual circular ranches, horses must be completely closed in order to concentrate more in the early stages, but most farms do not have circular ranches that are closed like horse society. Also, most farms work alone.
