It is intended to revive the spirit that participation in horse racing betting is for donations. When categorizing the types of social contribution projects, there are three stages: one stage where donations are limited, two stages where volunteering is made along with donations, and three stages: donation and volunteer participation and social value creation. Our Let's Run Foundation is currently in the process of transitioning to the third stage. Based on the Korean Horse Association and related organizations, the Let's Run Foundation will continue its active social contribution program using horses and through talent donation by horse officials. A "better tomorrow with horses" is never a dream. The Let's Run Foundation thinks that a world where words make all people happy is tomorrow. Personally, I think I am extremely lucky to have the opportunity to work as the secretary-general.

When I was in the fourth grade of elementary school, I happened to have a horse riding course in our neighborhood. I was so curious about the horse that I went sightseeing, and I was scared to see a horse that was big and had big eyes. Now that I think about it, it wasn't a very big horse, but I remember that I was scared at the time. One day, I went to see a horse, but I couldn't touch the horse and went home because I was scared. The next day, I touched the horse's face and nose, but I couldn't forget the feeling at that time. I went again and touched my neck and became close to the horse in that way.

Asked at this year's parliamentary inspection whether he intends to serve all three years of his term, he replied, "If his term is guaranteed, I will do my best within my term." However, after the parliamentary inspection, Chairman Lee Yang-ho, who was classified as a "government authority" figure by the government, offered to resign, and a public offering for the head of the Korean Horse Association began. Over the past year, the young CEO and communication king who practiced the vision of the new government as a "pariah but not a parachute" and a personnel appointment of the district administration has broadened a new horizon in the Korean horse industry.

Shim Ho-geun and Lee Yong-joon were promoted to deputy directors and deputy directors, respectively. Shim Ho-geun, who is also a reporter in charge of entering the Korea Racing Authority, is in charge of strengthening content in the horse racing industry, while Lee Yong-joon is in charge of the overall horse racing industry, including horseback riding and related industries, focusing more on communication with the field and finding articles. Recruitment and promotion of journalists for Racing Media is a step in line with the expansion of its business ahead of the online news partnership between Naver and Kakao, following the signing of an agreement with KBSN in February on horse industry broadcast planning. Racing Media, the only professional total media organization in the Korean horse industry, comprehensively deals with the Korean horse industry, including the internationalization of the horse racing industry and the popularization of the horse racing industry.

In addition, Chairman Lee Yang-ho suggested the future direction for the Korean horse industry in a short period of time, including rethinking the research climate of the institute, hard work to eradicate illegal horse racing, diversifying social contributions and group support, and expanding support and cooperation to agricultural and rural areas. Of course, there was also "shade." The horse industry expressed concerns over the decision to close the Yongsan Cultural Empathy Center, and it was embarrassing because successive suicides of managers and executives were not directly related. Recently, related organizations have begun to protest the operation of a consultative body for direct employment of horse managers.

During the 2014 Gyeonggi Province Governor's Cup, I dressed up in special clothes and won, so I dressed up in purple again this time to cheer for Pinot Noir. This horse is named after my favorite wine, and I should go for a cup of Pinot Noir with the people who cheered for me today. I didn't expect much, but I think I got a good result because I had consistently experienced racing. The Dong-A Ilbo had a short distance, so I was worried that I might be catching up. I saw that this race has strength because it is a long distance of 2,000M, and I even expected to win the championship. I am happy to win for two consecutive games, and I hope it has brought a little joy to the horse racing fans. Due to the slow initial flow, I decided that the jockey might be able to take the lead and displayed a moving development.

With the motto of "Let's take a step ahead and look far and do our best" as a work philosophy, the 'Future Development Strategy Establishment TF' was launched to examine large-scale investment projects and improve organizational and manpower operations. In February, he visited Pukyong and Jeju headquarters along with the first reorganization, and visited Jeju International endurance competition. During weekdays, he visited Japan and Dubai to tour advanced horse industries and the World Cup in Dubai. Efforts to improve the image of the horse industry and diversify public relations have also paid off. He opened communication with reporters who accessed magazines,

On the other hand, Korea seems to have a fierce battle for seats from the beginning and takes spurt quickly. The most common story I heard in Australia was that it had a good start. When entering the gate, the concentration is at its peak, and it is true that it was easier than others to solve the early development. If you leave the gate, you can ride it in all weather conditions according to the tendency of the horse. It may be a virtue for all riders, but I think it is a strength that they have been honing their control ability when driving and catching them on horseback. When it was in Australia, morning training was not as much as in Korea. Instead, there were actual races almost every day. Of course, if you keep riding for 10 days without a day off, it will be difficult, but even if it is, you will have to endure it if it is a necessary part to live in Korea.

Chairman Lee Yang-ho, a native of Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province, who took office as the 35th head of the Korean Horse Association on December 19 last year, entered public service with the 26th administrative notice and served as the 25th head of the Rural Development Administration, including the head of the planning and coordination office at the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. After taking the position of chairman of the Korean Horse Association, the head of the horse industry, he drew attention with his actions to dispel concerns about "paradise."

Since most of them have that kind of business mindset and are of a high level, if you go and see and learn what they are doing wrong in person, you can be willing to improve. Also, they will have complaints. I think it is necessary for the implementation to actively accept these points, review them, and give feedback. Whenever people ask, I say I have never lost a loss every year. I think so, too. If I invest 5 billion won and still have 5 billion assets, I haven't lost a loss yet. And wouldn't I need someone like me to be a little helpful in the development of Korean horse racing? I like horse racing and it's fun. And as everything happens, nothing improves at once.

Of course, it doesn't happen overnight. Although it has made rapid progress compared to the past, the domestic horse racing industry is still at the level of underdeveloped countries. There are areas that need to be gradually improved over time, and the improvement of the environment of the face-to-face is one of them. I hope the horse racing society will also make efforts to improve the environment for the face-to-face. The face-to-face will make efforts to change itself, but it may change faster if the Korean Horse Racing Authority, which is a horse racing entity, provides factors to change the environment for the face-to-face.

While pursuing the four strategic goals, it is transforming into a social contribution company that creates a better world as a citizen of a company that forms a country and society by breaking away from the business of giving benefits. It also launched a representative center for social contribution using the core materials of the company called horses. Here, there are horse riding healing centers and pro bono centers. Another important thing is that it has started to solve youth problems that reflect the situation of the times. There were job creation for 140 people as a youth overseas job search project, and 17 "Let's Run Dream Centers" were opened through collaboration with the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and local governments, winning the Minister of Gender Equality and Family Award for out-of-school youth programs.

The development of the horseshoe grows with the national growth, and the Korean horse racing goes to the G1 and G2 advanced horse racing. Then the horseshoe will naturally get better, and the assistant teacher and the horse manager will all get better than they are now. Therefore, you have to think a lot about the future. I think Korean racing has more positive things than negative things. It's hard to keep winning first place, but it's relatively easy and rewarding to go from the middle to the top. You have to change your thinking about investing in a short time and see it in the long run.

For the development of horse racing, everyone has to make little concessions and come up with good plans to resolve the problem as soon as possible. A strike will have a negative impact on the horse racing industry, although I could express my opinion right away. Not from an objective standpoint, not from the face to face, but from a national level. Of course. No one takes the form of employment directly anywhere in the world's advanced horse racing countries. Nevertheless, it is a misconception that global trends and trends require direct employment. Rather, it would be not the development of horse racing, but the regression of backwardness.

Excessive interference may create a situation in which they touch each other's pride, and mutual trust does not build at all. That's why I tend not to interfere at all. However, there is one thing that can be regarded as interference, but it is the part where words are fed. Whether it's good or bad, I always talk about it when I go to a bar room because I believe that eating well will help me run well. I leave everything else up to the assistant teachers. It's up to the assistant teachers to decide who to pick up the rider and how to train him. I don't know exactly why the strike was decided, but I think the strike itself was wrong. Regardless of the fact that it goes on strike,

The Let's Run Foundation is a social contribution foundation established to create a society that fulfills social responsibilities as a public company and lives together by raising funds from donations from the Korean Horse Association and donations from executives and employees. It was established on March 18, 2014. Previously, the Korean Horse Association carried out various donations and social return activities in the social contribution team, but the establishment was promoted due to the need for a more active and professional foundation. The purpose of the foundation is to contribute to revitalizing society as a whole, promoting people's welfare, and enhancing the status of the horse industry by supporting job creation projects, talent development projects, cultural prosperity projects, welfare promotion projects for the vulnerable, and horse industry image improvement projects.

When I ran a business before we met, I thought I should invest rather than make money in the first five years. Horses generally start running as racehorses from the age of 2 and run for about five years until the age of 7, and they decided that they should watch and experience the entire age cycle of racehorses at least once. So I invested 2 billion at first and spent about 1 billion more in the middle. Something is going well this year, which has been five years since its debut in 2012. At first, I didn't know much about horses, so I only listened to people's stories and bought horses, but there were many failures. I studied a lot in my own way for two or three years using such failures.

At that time, I became interested in the 'horse industry' after seeing newspaper articles that stated that the country would foster the horse industry as a policy at the time. I thought that if Korea also enters the ranks of advanced countries, the 'horse industry' could develop into an industry. I thought it would be good to buy a horse yourself, buy a ranch in Jeju, raise a horse, and face each other in person. So, I bought a horse and became a racehorse. It seemed that it would be better when I entered my retirement life at the age of 60 to 70. I thought that it would be good for preventing dementia

However, it is not necessarily the only way to learn how to ride horses. Not many of the athletes who are famous in foreign countries have actually succeeded because they are rich. Everyone works hard to learn and continues to develop their talents. In the process, you build up your skills and meet a good sponsor and bring good results. Few top players succeed with their financial resources. It is not always about buying good horses. The Hanova Horse Racing Authority is a horse-riding center that horses like more than people. People may not like it because it is located a little far away, but horses feel comfortable. In other places, even nervous horses seem to feel less stressed and relaxed when they come here.
