As a result, a lot of nearby farmers attended. The effectiveness of the standard manual may be questioned. So, we designated a demonstration farm. Four farms with facilities and motivation were designated among the producers. Twenty-four horses were selected from four farms and they are being trained according to the manual. Jeju Hanra University, which produced the training manual, and staff from the pilot farm meet once a month to show results and refine the manual for any difficulties. After some time, the horses were produced according to the manual. They track the data and compare horses that have been trained by the pilot farm with other horses according to their age. They will track how early the race will be and how their performance will be after the race will be announced

If you trained horses that were never trained before and trained them together during the racehorse training process, you can now focus on training the racehorse and participating in the race. The overall level will be very high. From 2018 to 2023, 100% of the horses that passed the driving inspection will be allowed in. The road map was drawn in this way. I got approval and promulgated it, and last year, I gave a briefing session to managers, assistant teachers, technicians, and riders. Last year, I made a standard manual. There is a way to nurture and train them. I actually made it on CD with the training. The problem was that after I made the data, I said, "I made this. Please attend," but there was something that the farmers didn't come and didn't know.

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 have not been trained and whose level of training has not been evaluated at all come directly into the racehorse. It takes about 90 days from here to start the training and go to the race. We cannot keep taking this system. Step by step, some of the horses that have finished the starting test at first are allowed in. In the next step, only horses that have passed the 100% start test are allowed in. In the next step, some who have passed the driving test come in, and then only horses that have passed 100% come in. We have prepared a system in which if they pass on the day of employment,

With the signing of an agreement on industrial development at the end of February 2016, the obstacles to going to Jeju Horse Racing were resolved. I couldn't take the Jeju Horse Racing the way it is now. I had to provide customers with products that I didn't feel ashamed of.First of all, we have prepared a 'school system' that systematically conducts production from the production process. Last year, we first reviewed good research data on how to produce Thoroughbred and foster it before and after. There are many data related to Thoroughbred in foreign countries and Korea, but none of them were Jeju horses. Standards related to Thoroughbred could not be applied to Jeju horses. Therefore, last year, a standard manual for production, fostering, and training, and specification management suitable for Jeju horses, was created.

On the other hand, in the case of Jeju horses, there were no such efforts at all. The general public's perception of Jeju horses and even the horseracing staff's perception is that "Jeju horses can run with them in place." Like Thoroughbred, the process of production, training, and fostering is not systematic, but at some point, they are put into the race because they are old. As they enter the race without training, their professionalism decreases and there are many accidents. Horses also run less well. The quality of the race is generally poor with good horses. The Jeju Horse Racing Authority is broadcast in Seoul and Busan, and there were also complaints such as "I can't watch it" and "What kind of horse racing?" In fact, employees working at Let's Run Park Jeju have been thinking about this issue,

Jeon Sung-won, the current head of the win-win marketing division, and Kim Jin-gap, the head of the Jeju Regional Headquarters at the time of the agreement for the win-win development of the horse industry, are still communicating with farmers in a responsible manner on this important issue, constantly developing related policies and applying them to the field. At a special zone meeting held in Jeju in June last year, Jeon Sung-won, the head of the win-win marketing division, called for the central government's attention and set a direction with Jeju Special Self-Governing Province to foster Hallama, which will be removed from the racehorse from 2023, as Korea's representative passenger horse.

Although conditions for introducing foreign jockeys at the Singapore Turf Club are known to be strict, the Korean team has reportedly decided to participate in the event in a surprise move based on the excellent performance of the jockeys, hosting international competitions such as the "Korea Cup" and their status as part 2 racers. As of Tuesday, Moon began training at the Singaporean kranji, and is expected to race at night on Friday May 19 or at daytime on Sunday May 21. The license period is three months, which can be extended depending on the intention or activity history of the jockeys. In fact, this is the second time for Moon to go overseas. He was an invited jockey in Macau for three months in 2013, maintaining a winning rate of around 10 percent.

Before I became interested in horses, I was just an ordinary student. Influenced by my father who runs a pig farming business, I went on to study livestock management, distribution and economics. At that time, I vaguely thought I should help my father's work. Since I was a child, I have seen and heard about pig farming and have encountered it often, so I never imagined that I would do anything else. It is planning to start producing love red. It plans to import three seed horses of excellent descent at the U.S. auction in November this year. Its goal is to produce its own racehorses and run them in the races so that the horses will perform well. The other is to make a ranch, a horse theme park like Northern Halls Park in Japan, and make it a famous tourist attraction.

From my third year of university to my graduation, I took horse riding classes conducted by the Korean Horse Association. I completed the 'University Student Horse Industry Technology Training Course' and the 'Ranch Management Course' conducted by the Korean Horse Association. During my vacation, I briefly helped with my work at a horse riding course on Jeju Island and learned horse riding. At the Jeju Race Horse Yield, I learned a lot about race horses, including their ancestry and development process. I mainly studied them through the Internet. There are not many data on horses in Korea, so I obtained information through foreign horse-related websites or YouTube. I usually use sites called bloodhorse or the hose, and there are a lot of data about race horses and horses that are necessary for breeding.

My father faced me and told me to study horses. At that time, I was studying livestock management, distribution, and economics at Konkuk University, and I thought I should ride horses to study horses. While riding horses, I began to communicate directly with horses. As I touched horses myself, I fell into the charm of horses without realizing it. I always read books and videos related to horses, and I looked for various educational programs to dream of raising horses. After graduating from university, I joined the Jeju Ranch as a contractor by chance. While working, I learned and learned a lot about horses. After the contract was over, I began to raise horses in earnest.

I thought I knew the horse well and studied it a lot, but raising a horse myself was different from what I thought. I dreamed of a life of running around and relaxing with a horse. However, in reality, there are many difficulties because there are many things to do besides horse management, such as grassland management, facility management, and government support. Currently, I am receiving help from my father and those around me who have a lot of experience in horses. Because I am young, I have the advantage of being able to work passionately. I can work for my horse without weighing this or that. I'm still lacking a lot right now, so I'm trying to gain as many experiences as possible.

The 'Mayon-a-horse' is continuing to develop, and the 'Mayon-a-horse' will play a role in creating the popularization of horseback riding in the future. I also have confidence in this. However, I don't know how long it will take. The final goal of the 'Mayon-a-horse' that Daemyung Group wants is to promote CSI5* to create an environment in which foreign players can bring their horses to Korea and have a normal horse-riding competition with existing horses. In addition, I pay respect to the management of Daemyung Group, who plays this role without being selfish. Horse-riding is politically intertwined due to a series of situations. In a way, the horse-riding people who have worked silently so far may be the victims of the Choi Soon-sil scandal.

Horse auction' is a policy project of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. In line with this, the auction part was added. It proceeded differently from the auction before. However, for the development of the horse industry,fundamental measures are needed. The horse industry project has been initiated with government policies over the past five years. I know that it first started between 2011 and 2012, and if 500 horse racing stadiums were created in the first five years and the training of horse racing professionals was part of the first project, the five-year plan for horse racing development seems to be currently drifting. Therefore, I think the drifting project should be transformed into a virtuous cycle structure that can encompass everything, including the trading market.

Daemyung Group also feels sorry for the fact that horse-riding students think of it as a means of going to college. However, Daemyung is trying not only to expand the base for horse-riding, but also not to lose the original intention of 'Mayon-a-horse'. It plans to continue to develop sports and cultural encounters without being shaken by any draft.Last year, it was held at the Lawn Riding Club, and this year, it was held at the Sonopelice Equestrian Club. It is true that the Sonopelice Equestrian Club was not able to provide the best environment for horses due to inconveniences such as the practice rink last year. This year, the team played at a dedicated stadium so that horses could play in their best condition.

In particular, "Mayon-a-horse" learned the advanced trends of Europe, the home of horseback riding, and tried to make a competition comparable to that, 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. Compared to baseball, which has risen as a representative sport in Korea, the popularization of horseback riding may sound a little distant. However, the audience's response and gaze from the scene during the last two competitions were convinced that the popularization of horseback riding was not far away, and it was the driving force behind the hosting of "Mayon-a-horse 2017.

It is important to find a way to coexist. We have all repeated mistakes for years. Now, it is time to recognize that both Jeju Horse and Hallama are valuable resources of Jeju and think about ways to work together. Not long ago, I met with Kim Sang-chul, president of the Jeju Horse Producers Association, and they also agreed that we are finding a way to coexist. Don't go to extremes, but look far ahead and think in a big way. Horseback riding is a new content of Jeju Island. Among the various contents that can be presented to tourists visiting Jeju, such as medical care and tourism, horseback riding is a powerful content that can enhance Jeju's tourism image with a luxurious tour. In particular, I am knocking hard on the door because I think it helps Jeju's economic growth and development.

Since the establishment of the Jeju Race Horse Producers Association in 2005, geographical debates between Jeju Horse and Hallama have continued. When he took office as the fourth chairman in February 2011, he has always thought about how to solve this problem. The provincial government's plan to foster the horse industry is to foster the Jeju horse industry in the global world. I think it implies that the world runs to Jeju on horseback. In this sense, it can be said that the horse industry is valuable as a driving force for the local economy and is integrated with Jeju's representative tourism industry. The Hallama Producers Association is also working to become an organization that can contribute to the development of the Jeju horse industry and become a new organization around the attraction of special zones, and is also preparing a group council covering the entire horse industry.

Members of the Pukyeong Horse Association, which is largely divided into Seoul, Jeju, and other regions, showed considerable interest in the horse racing system and the horse racing industry as a whole, with more than 70 people attending the Pukyeong Horse Racing Seminar, which was held for the second time since last year's first member seminar.The government says there is no problem with the inclusion of the livestock development fund in the national budget as it has been operated by the Enforcement Decree of the Livestock Act and special reserves for farming and fishing villages have also been used under the law set by the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry. However, despite the fact that most of the livestock development fund is covered by the sales of the Korean Horse Association, complaints have continued that the management status of the livestock development fund has so far received little benefit in horse industry-related fields.

In response, team leader Jang Byung-woon stressed that all handicappers are doing their best, saying that ratings will be given based on objective facts such as race records and distance differences between race horses. There was also a question about abolishing the upper limit of the introduction of foreign horses, which team leader Jang said is difficult to answer accurately, not in charge of, and that there will be an explanation from the developer through workshops with related organizations.

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.

From the beginning of the opening of Let's Run Park in Busan and South Gyeongsang Province, I started working as a horse-related person and formed a connection with horses. I knew that the horse-related qualification system would be implemented by the Horse Industry Promotion Act, so I tried from the first inning, but I failed each time. Actually, I was going to give up the test this time. At the end, I was embarrassed that I failed every time, and the horse racing officials asked me why I was taking the trainer test. They said that even though it was a written test, it was never allowed in practical practice. However, Teacher Kwon Seung-joo, who studied with me, asked me why I should give up when I was eligible for the second practical test this time, so I applied for it on the last day of application and took the test.

It helps a lot emotionally, too. I want people to heal with horses and gain consideration for life and a lot of enlightenment in the activities with horses. To do that, I want to strive for the welfare of horses. I want to study more fields, experience and experience more in practice, and continue to develop myself, rather than being stopped. I want to become a leader who has a consistent good influence in the horse industry. To this end, I am preparing to transfer to Jeju National University's physical education field. I am also thinking of going to graduate school. I want to work in teaching and research. Just as I am familiar with the use and precautions of a product when I buy a product, I hope that the days will come when Koreans will be familiar with the habits and behaviors of horses and approach them more friendly and safe.

If the Korean Horse Association's policy is to use horses with no more than eight generations of unclear descent among horses used as racehorses, shouldn't they be disqualified from horse racing? We humbly accept criticism that they abused horses to match their height. However, claiming that some farmers at the association level and the entire Hallama Farms were wrongs is no different from the general prejudice that horse racing is a "gambling" and ignores it. Our demand is to allow Hallama to race until demand for horseback riding expands. There is no reason to force Hallama to collapse the horse industry. It is recognized for its meat quality as a non-yuk horse, its character as a passenger horse, and the excellence of Hallama, which helps improve and manage the management of the inland horse riding industry, has already been proven.

He worked for the marketing team of S Hotel Duty Free Division for more than 20 years, and later built a ranch to produce racehorses. At one point, the company produced more than 70 heads, but since 2010, the number of heads has been reduced due to the elimination of Hallama. When Hallama is removed from the racehorse, farmers have no choice but to reduce the production of Hallama to employment or side jobs. Let me ask the most fundamental question, 'What are you going to do by producing horses?' This is the biggest topic right now. This is the concern of all farmers in the province. Hallama-producing farmers are particularly in a sense of loss. What is the point if a horse that has been raised through hard work only serves as a best man for a specific racehorse? We have to raise the issue of equity in trying to establish the lineage of Hallama and create a new brand.
