Retired racehorses are more than capable of being used as riding horses. People who don't know much about horses might wonder why a retired horse is used as a riding steed, but in reality, that is not the case. I used to think similarly, but seeing the changes firsthand made me think 180 degrees differently. I believe this is the only solution for a stable horse industry. If this project succeeds, many people will be able to ride horses at affordable prices.Based on what I had learned,

Nam has attended all six training sessions held this year without a single absence, showing just how strong her belief in the 'Gyeongju retired horses' is. We asked him about the horse industry, as he also raises horses and runs an equestrian business.I currently run a horse farm and a riding club. I tried teaching beginners with the Gyeongju retired mare, Thoroughbred, and even entered a race, but I felt it was dangerous. By chance, I heard about a training program for retiring racehorses

The Let's Run Foundation, which celebrated its second anniversary on March 18, recruited Kim Hak-shin, former head of the Seoul Regional Headquarters, as the general secretary through a public offering at the end of February. Kim Hak-shin, a 59-year-old native of Suncheon, Jeollanam-do, graduated from the Department of Public Administration at Seoul City University and joined the Korean Horse Association in 1986. Since then, he has served as the head of major departments of the Korean Horse Association, including the head of the public relations team, the head of the horse racing cooperation team, the head of the Jeju business department, the head of the planning and coordination team, the head of the Busan and Gyeongnam regional headquarters, and the head of the Seoul regional headquarters, and retired at the retirement age in February this year. Secretary-General Kim was evaluated as an administrative expert with excellent practical experience and administrative ability when he was in office.

The existence of the Let's Run Foundation itself is possible because of customers of horse racing. I thought that horse racing customers should come to the forefront in all fields. The Let's Run Foundation also wants to make it clear that the donation agent is the horse racing customer. Korean horse racing has undergone tremendous changes in a short period of time in terms of culture, and is still changing to a positive aspect. As the customer level has been upgraded, it is now necessary to inform horse racing customers as the subject who provides financial resources for social contribution projects, not gamblers. Since the Korean Horse Association, which is the parent company, is a public enterprise, the Let's Run Foundation's policy is set by the national government and the mission of the Korean Horse Association. However, the first horse racing in Korea was born to raise funds to encourage horse racing, and participants participated in horse racing to donate.

If professionals from specialized training institutions in the horse industry handle related tasks, the pace of development in the domestic horse industry would be doubled.Our school is not just a school for horseback riding. It is a school that covers the entire horse industry and offers a wide range of educational programs. Although it may be unfamiliar to parents during the college entrance exam season each year, the school is already well recognized for its quality within the horse industry. If I enroll in our university, I will be able to play a leading role in the horse industry.

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.

Last year, one student from our school passed both the national and local government civil service exams. A student who had passed the livestock position exam in Wanju, Jeollabuk-do, came to the school for the graduation ceremony, accompanied by a section chief from the same department. I’ve seen more than 30 graduation ceremonies, but it was the first time I met a supervisor who attended a subordinate’s graduation, and they told me to raise my hand, so I received a round of applause.

Currently, jobs in the domestic horse industry are too limited and too uniform. There is a need to expand into various fields, from public officials related to the horse industry to teachers and saddle designers.After I became principal last year, I attended a Meister high school principals’ meeting, and a mid-level official from the Ministry of Personnel Management came out to introduce the civil service exam. Meister high school principals are pushing back, but I think differently. Is there a law that says schools must only raise workers.

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.

In Australian age, he has been riding a horse since the age of 16. In fact, I had never ridden a horse before, but my father was a jockey in Australia, so I was lucky to get a chance. I loved sports and had athleticism, so I was able to adapt quickly. Above all, riding a horse was so fun and happy. Then I became a job. Last season, I won the honor of winning the GI competition twice, including the South Australian Oaks. I think my hard work, thinking that it is the same whether it is a big competition or a small competition, resulted in good results. I don't feel nervous about big competitions or anything, and I try to keep calm. In Melbourne, I was in the top 10 of the multi-victory rankings.

When we held a selection process during the last education dispatch to France, the students’ attitudes were different. Students studied voluntarily until late at night and worked hard preparing for project presentations. There was a lack of opportunities and motivation to stimulate students' desire for achievement, so these events will serve as a valuable catalyst for them. I believe this will be the second leap forward for the horse racing and livestock industry.

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.

After retiring at four,he was supposed to be brought in as a stallion for breeding, but after arriving in Korea,he was never even able to see the light of his career because he was not verified.If a horse has been sent abroad, the Korea Racing Authority should not just retire it but also provide additional management and allow it to be used in free breeding; institutional improvements are needed.If a good offspring is produced, isn't that what true domestic horse breeding is.Otherwise,who would risk high costs to go on an overseas expedition

Foreign languages are trained before 4 a.m. They are also preventing us from training at the main station, citing quarantine concerns. Foreign horses stay in well-equipped quarantine stables. Our horses can only run after the foreign horses have finished training at 6 o’clock. If it's an international race, we should train together, but since we're only training late on a track that's already a mess, can the training really be effective. Even if you send a manager and spend a lot of money on an expedition, there isn't even CCTV in the stable.

Compared to the original 3:4 ratio, the proportions are off. Moreover, Seoul holds non-open races, while Busan holds all of them as open races. I think we need to open everything up and head to the open racecourse. We can achieve coexistence by giving up vested interests and uniting.With plans for next year's horse racing in full swing, I think the Seoul prize money system needs to be reformed first. In Seoul's case, the prize money is incorrect. In the case of this year's Korea Sprint, the race ended on September 9, but the prize money was not released until October 5.

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.

While it also promotes student achievement, the cost is not particularly burdensome. They stay at the school guesthouse, and even including food and living expenses, their salary is lower than that of top experts in the country. Of course, there are excellent experts in Korea, but I believe they are helpful from a multifaceted perspective.Since the quality and quantity of jobs in the domestic horse industry are insufficient, it is only natural to turn our attention to the international market.
