In a statement, the racehorse producers’ association called for the abolition of the Korea Racing Authority’s plan, saying, “We expose the fallacies of the Korea Racing Authority’s horse racing reform proposal,” and argued that the integrated race scheduling contradicts the domestic horse revitalization policy the Authority had advocated and is a contradictory policy that seeks to advance the horse industry by relying on foreign horses.They also argued that if integrated race scheduling is implemented, domestic horses will be neglected, leading to the bankruptcy of breeders, and the last pillar supporting the Korean horse racing industry—the livestock sector—will collapse, so the Korea Racing Authority’s reform proposal must be withdrawn.

If disqualification applies, the individual should be excluded from a specific occupation or business area, thereby limiting fundamental rights such as the constitutionally guaranteed freedom of occupational choice or freedom of economic activity, and the restriction should be limited to the minimum necessary. The disqualification criteria, which are defined as grounds for disqualification because they can have a significant impact on the health and safety of the public, are limited to occupations that directly treat or protect people and animals, such as doctors, veterinarians, nurses, and care workers. However, in the case of horse trainers, funeral directors, and therapeutic riding instructors, these grounds cannot be considered valid, making the restriction excessive. Similarly, although equestrian sports instructors are also a national qualification related to horses, they are not designated as grounds for disqualification, raising issues of fairness with other national qualification systems.

The Seoul Owners' Association, which had decided to oppose the horse racing innovation adjustment plan agreed upon between the Korea Racing Authority and the Emergency Response Committee during the emergency general meeting on the 10th, decided to seek a response to the Korea Racing Authority's plan for implementation by holding a meeting of the newly formed Emergency Response Committee (chaired by Cheon Byung-deuk, owner) on the afternoon of the 15th, followed by a full meeting of all representative owners on the 16th. It has been confirmed that depending on the decision made by the Seoul Owners’ Association, the decision of other organizations will follow.

Based on the already planned Saemangeum Horse Industry Complex, we look forward to the active cooperation and support of related organizations and the government in reflecting the Saemangeum Racehorse Joint Production and Development Complex a national project promoted by the association to be included in the national agenda, so that we can create a joint production, breeding, and sales complex for racehorses, drastically reduce operating costs,

Support must also be provided in full and with full backing.Gathering entrepreneurs for programs and events is several times more effective than targeting the general public. If these individuals become passionate about equestrianism, they could contribute to its development through sponsorship. The grassroots equestrian competitions promoted by the Korea Racing Authority also have a good purpose, so if they attract businesspeople, sponsorships for corporate promotion could naturally follow.

Even the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries seems completely uninterested, repeatedly stating in external reports and plans that programs are needed and development should be pursued to promote and revitalize equestrianism. For a while, I expressed those opinions and even proposed projects, but I haven't heard back. Since there's been no feedback at all, I don't even talk to them anymore.Each semester,

As a supervising professor, I was on the front lines to ensure students could attend equestrian classes safely and properly, so I gradually internalized these skills through hands-on experience.Just as business leaders contributed to the growth of golf, they must take the lead in revitalizing the culture of equestrian consumption. It is regrettable that the horse industry shows no interest in the fact that the participants of the equestrian culture CEO program are composed of such opinion leaders.

test008

Just as entrepreneurs contributed to the growth of golf, they could have played a leading role in promoting equestrianism, but the horse industry is showing no interest, which is regrettable.As mentioned earlier, don’t speak negatively of other riding centers; instead, find your own unique characteristics and give them a distinct identity. In the mobile era, simply saying we are the best riding center to consumers who choose everything in the palm of their hand is not enough.

test008

Golf, considered a nearby leisure sport, makes good use of this. In the past, golf instructors would pressure their clients by boasting that they were former players while teaching. However, as golf became more popular and widespread, the market grew and competition intensified. In addition, as consumers’ understanding of golf has improved, the industry has shifted from focusing on brands to a more customer-centric approach. The equestrian industry could do better by paying a little more attention and following suit, but they are not making such efforts.

test008

Relevant organizations should establish standards for industry standardization, and educational institutions such as schools should ensure that standardized services are provided to consumers through the development of active educational programs. Only then can the overall image of the horse industry improve and continue to develop.When you visit a riding club, they are quick to belittle others, claiming they are the best. But that's just self-sabotage. Rather, they should start by improving basic facilities like changing rooms and showers,

The master's program in the 'Horse Industry,' launching this fall, is accepting applications until July 20. If applications are received within the deadline, acceptance will be notified after document screening. Our graduate school offers a variety of scholarships and a wide range of majors, so you should choose one that interests you. The tuition is also relatively affordable, at around 3.7 million won. And upon completing the master's program, you may receive preferential treatment when applying for a doctoral program at Sejong University.

Whether you are abroad or in a regional area, as long as you have the will, you can learn. If you want to learn about the Korean language industry, you are not limited by spatial constraints, even in countries like China and Southeast Asia. Since the courses can be conducted from a distance, instructors currently teaching can earn their master's degrees without having to come to the classroom. And it is also possible to graduate by completing major courses instead of a thesis.

test008

Of course not. We will invite top experts from the horse industry to conduct the classes. Someone who has both skill and reputation. Since it is a graduate program, it would likely be for someone with a master's degree or higher. Some may question the absence of a curriculum. This may be a point of misunderstanding for some, but the basic curriculum of our graduate school is well established. It is well structured, segmented into marketing, services, distribution, facility management,

Master’s program candidates will mainly be equestrian instructors and operators in the horse industry, as well as workers in related organizations or associations. A leader can be either a former athlete or an instructor. It is essential for those who want to run a business. Through advanced courses in the master's program, students can further develop their expertise, and after completing graduate school, they can apply what they have learned in the field.

test008

For an industry to advance, the number of experts in that field must increase. In that regard, establishing a graduate master's program specialized in the 'word industry' is highly meaningful.The major in Horse Industry Management comprehensively covers a wide range of fields, including professional and recreational sports, rehabilitation, facilities, equipment, fashion, and tourism. The training focuses on horses, covering topics from marketing and services to rehabilitation training using medicine.

Starting this fall semester, the first master's program in the 'horse industry' in Korea will be launched. I led this effort while studying the Department of Sports Industry at Sejong University's Graduate School of Industry. The Department of Sports Industry offers four majors: Equine Industry Management, Sports Marketing, Sports Medicine, and Leisure Sports Tourism. I began to feel that I was truly blinded by the word, and that I wanted to develop the horse industry into a genuine industry.

Until now, there have been two ways to obtain a license for farriers: through the national qualification exam or the Korea Racing Authority’s training program. By passing a national qualification exam, one could become a passenger horse handler, and by obtaining certification through the Korea Racing Authority’s training program, one could become a racehorse handler. However, recently, the Korea Racing Authority abolished its own handler training course certification exam,
