For example, all the things that would have been easy to do if the horse-riding auction had been held at Jangsu Ranch, which was equipped with auction facilities, were all things to be noted here. From the installation of horse-riding and temporary horse-riding to the management of the horses' movements. Still, I think it is a great harvest that such a large horse race was installed inside the fair for the first time in Korea, and various performances ranging from horse-riding gymnastics to dressage shows were held and received great response. There were difficulties, but in the end, I was able to hold the fair well because of your cooperation. In Korea, there has never been such a large indoor horse race inside the exhibition hall. Since there is little experience in holding horse-related events in Korea,

Many events have been held mainly in Gwacheon, but I think we should go in that direction if we can hold them in other regions. However, it is necessary to select the exhibition area in the future by examining and considering the improvements made through this fair. The horse industry has a single field and has been thinking a lot about how to decorate the horse industry fair, a big event. We tried to make sure that events and projects that differ in timing and place could be held at KINTEX in the second week of October. It was to create as much synergy as possible for the fair. However, it was not easy to combine several independent events. As each situation is different, there were so many things to pay attention to from schedule adjustment to movement management.

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.

Therefore, the intention was that this time it should be an "industry-oriented fair." I thought about how it would help participating companies' businesses and what it would support them. In addition, it was expected that information sharing among participating companies would help develop the horse industry on its own. Therefore, I prepared this fair thinking that it should be regarded as an fair attended by companies related to the horse industry. In addition, it was also intended to introduce cultural contents related to horses. It was judged that the cultural industry is an industry and that it would be more meaningful and successful if there are various things to see and enjoy rather than a simple industrial exhibition. There was also a message from the chairman, Si Sung-kwan, that it would be better to reinforce the contents of horse culture.

Companies that participated in the industrial fair should be the center, but if it is held inside, there may be cases of interference. The fair itself could have been seen as part of an event held at a racetrack. There was also a concern that the main visitors would be fixed as those who visited Let's Run Park Seoul to enjoy horse racing rather than the general public. Also, Let's Run Park Seoul must install the facilities on outdoor sites, not on specialized exhibition facilities. As such, it is inferior in terms of exhibition infrastructure. After thinking about which measures could help promote horse industry-related companies, he came to Ilsan KINTEX thinking that it would be of great help if he used specialized exhibition facilities. The first fair in 2010 had to be satisfied as the first fair held for the first time due to the short preparation period,

Team leader Jang said that the preliminary announcement of the rating will make the weight of handicaps between registered horses predictable, and that the rating itself quantifies the difference in race horses' ability.Pukyong police officers showed keen interest in the handicap race implementation plan based on ratings, and many of them asked if they could guarantee the objectivity and professionalism of handicappers. 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.

In a broad sense, there are three reasons. The fact that it is a rare international youth competition, that pony auctions are held together, and that private horse racing grounds are the center of the horse industry special zone played a major role. It was notable that international youth competitions are not common and that pony auctions are held together. The reason why the foundation of the Korean horse industry is weak is that most of the horses are imported, and I thought that the opening of the pony auction was meaningful because it is a process in which the foundation for production and trade is being established. In addition, private horse racing grounds must be activated in order to expand the base of the horse industry, and it was considered a lot that such events will be held in Icheon, a special horse industry zone.

There is a place called Seongho Reservoir in Icheon City. I plan to contain everything for horses around this reservoir. It will focus various horse industry-related businesses from horse riding grounds to horse riding schools, horse-riding residence hotels, and horse saddle-making companies. It will create many horse-producing and breeding farms to generate income and make them a center of popularization of horses with everything about horses. Even now, horseback riding is common to be considered an aristocratic sport. It is not easy to ride a horse unless you have some money. That's why it is starting with youth horse riding. In particular, with the Pony Bell on it, the youth are making it easier for them to live their horses and popularize them. For example, Icheon City invested 240 million won for youth horse-riding groups,

Personally, my dream was to create a permanent horse racing market. I also designed a marketplace where the whole family could come and ride horses, watch shows, and buy supplies on weekends by making a horse racing park nearby. It was intended to host the event in Yeonggwang, Jeollanam-do, and recently, a local government in the metropolitan area showed interest and is pushing for it. Even in Korea, where the FTA began in earnest, the income of cattle and pigs is gradually decreasing. The government also encourages horses, but it is in the early stages. Management is still difficult at sites such as horse racing and ranches, and there is no sales channel. However, I think the possibility of development is endless. In order for the horse industry to develop, it must focus on research and development. In addition,

When the Chilgok plant is completed, it is expected that it will meet the demand for Gyeongju's retirement horses in Let's Run Park Busan and Gyeongnam and Yeongcheon. Since it is a company specializing in waste disposal, we need to establish a system and foundation to handle even dead horses. I think it is most urgent to turn horses into resources. There is no way to dispose of them, let alone support them, so they call a forklift and secretly bury them in the ground. It is because there is a company that handles cattle and pigs, but it is expensive, and there is no basis for handling horses. When I cut it, the meat usually weighs 180 kg, but the feed factory says it cannot pay more than 4,000 won per kilo. It is 500,000 won per two including transportation costs, but it is said to be expensive at the horse riding site. We will try to reduce the price to the 300,000 won mark as much as possible.

In addition, team leader Shin advised, "When choosing a horse at a foreign horse auction, you should choose a horse suitable for the domestic environment, rather than placing importance on the compost or lineage." In addition, it was well received by presenting tips for efficient auction participation, main points when observing bridging-up, main points when conducting a horse body test, and main points when participating in an asking price through experience in actual situations. Jang Byung-woon, head of the race system transition TF team of the Korean Racing Association, explained the change in handicap racing following the introduction of the rating, saying, "We will announce the preliminary rating of the first-tier handicap race in October this year and the adjustment of the rating immediately after the race."

In addition, CEO Kim explained in detail the current status of Korean horse racing through a comparison of sales and number of people admitted over the past decade, and announced that the external environment of Korean horse racing is in extreme difficulty, saying that the reality that the Yongsan branch is struggling is not irrelevant to the contraction of the horse racing industry.World horse racing is in crisis," said Seok Young-il, a professor at Seorabeol University, adding that Korean horse racing has many problems as the city government still holds the race. With more than 30 years of professional experience in the city government, Seok introduced various history and behind-the-scenes stories related to world renowned horse racing and said, "After a certain amount of study, the bloodstream is a sense. Since the ancestry changes in three years, you have to study endlessly. All the parents of Thoroughbred are of prestigious descent. A horse runs to survive."

While exploring various ways to tackle the problem, the "Diversification of Use of Retired Horse" project has been launched. Meanwhile, Holstown (CEO Kim Moo-young) is headquartered in Paju, Gyeonggi Province and is preparing to set up an office in Chilgok, North Gyeongsang Province, to specialize in disposing of retired horses and all horses. This reporter interviewed Kim Moo-young, the CEO of Holstown, in Paju, Gyeonggi Province on Oct. 27. The company specializes in disposing of retired horses and abandoned horses, which was selected by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Korea Racing Authority as a "project to support diversification of use of retired horses." It is currently operating a plant in Chilgok. It plans to start operation in earnest next year. It will also push for the establishment of a farming company.

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.

However, for now, I am not sure what I can do and how I can help. For trainers, I believe they need to acquire advanced training skills in the future. Instead of sticking to the old skills learned from their seniors, I believe that new technologies must be learned by inviting instructors from horse society or trainer associations to become an advanced horse country that is second to none in the world. It has been several years since the law was announced, but there seems to be not much that can be done because the law has not been completed. I believe that the development of the horse industry will accelerate only when the unfinished law is completed as soon as possible rather than left as it is. The Korean Horse Association is a public enterprise, and I think privatization should be done.

Since we met each other, I have met horses. One of my high school classmates, a friend whose wife's family runs a racehorse production ranch on Jeju Island, told me that they were recruiting horses at Let's Run Park Pukyong one day. The friend said, "You are qualified, so apply for it," so we met each other without knowing what it is. That's how the relationship began, and in February this year, I majored in horse genetics in graduate school and earned my master's degree. I run a Jemagi Technology Institute in Changwon, and I am building a tentatively named Marand racehorse recreation facility, a horse riding course, and a tourist farm in Ibanseong-myeon, Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-do, with the goal of completing it next spring. Horses should be my everything. I've been ripped off a lot for leaving the existing business to my wife

Under the current Korean horse racing system, the two horses have little to do with each other. The two horses cannot be trained at the same time. Now, the two horses are being trained by the assistant or the trainer, but I believe that the two horses should be trained at their ranch or training center in the future, just like in foreign countries.Additionally, I believe that the master must understand the characteristics of his horse so that he can choose the right assistant and trainer. For instance, consider entrusting the assistant teacher, who prefers good deeds and precocious horses, with Mansukhyeong and bottom-drawing horses. Even a famous horse will be treated as a foul horse. The difference in status between the master and the trainer is, in short, the difference between A and B, since the master must entrust the trainer with the training of the horse.

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.

With the recent implementation of the Horse Industry Promotion Act, despite the need for huge finances to revitalize the horse industry, which is highly likely to succeed as the sixth industry, if all of the special reserves of the horse society are incorporated into the livestock fund and operated as a national budget, there will still be only a small portion of financial support for the relatively small horse industry. In addition, the horse society has been carrying out various projects for fostering the horse industry and social return projects with special reserves, but as they are included in the government's budget system in the future, the probability that the horse society will lose its leadership in the project increases.The horse industry is concerned that the government, which has been increasing its taxes by advocating welfare expansion, may leak its finances, which should be used to foster the horse industry, to the wrong place.

As soon as he took the reins, he was surprised at what he was surprised by and was taken to a hospital after being hit in the abdomen by the horse's back foot while holding the lead strap. The diagnosis revealed that his pancreas was damaged. Fortunately, he did not need surgery. Instead, he underwent medication for a month and was hospitalized. After the accident, people around him reportedly felt puzzled to see me ask how the horse was doing. After the incident, he became more concerned about his safety. He looks back on dangerous behaviors he unconsciously performed, and emphasizes the importance of safety to his juniors every time. At that time, the horseriding rink covered all expenses incurred at the hospital. I would like to express my gratitude to the chairman, representative,

Lastly, I am proud of the excellent lecture by Professor Dong-hoon Lee, who has been a solid theory in the course of daily sports leaders. Our school has warm blood necessary for preparing for certification practice, an indoor racetrack where you can prepare without a hitch, and rehabilitation horse riding where you can exercise at any time. Students experience and conduct the positions of volunteers, leaders, and leaders in rehabilitation horseback riding, while also teaching assistant instructors for general experience horse riding. Another pride is the environment in which you can sharpen your practical skills and prepare for certification before going out to society. This happened when I went to the horse riding course during the summer vacation of the first year. There was a case where I was seriously injured due to my carelessness.
