Umbrellas should be put on the umbrella for the development of the horse riding industry. Actually, the "Korean style" does not have its identity yet. Advanced cases should also be benchmarked. The field first learns global trends and follows them in person, but organizations and policies that move the horse racing world are slower in internationalization and information power than the field or the private sector. Now is the time for innovative communication that reduces the temperature difference. There is no process of coexistence. The public and private sectors should work together to make choices. They should make choices and focus on what the problems have been. The government should hold field-oriented seminars and public hearings more than five times a year to discuss in-depth what kind of problems they have had so far.

When it comes to sports, we focus only on making athletes, but don't foreigners study and ride horses together? Process is important in the field, but we value only the results. I want to continue the process and outcome, a mixture of software and hardware.My son, who studied in the U.K. for 10 years, has changed his job and is now cleaning up his horse. Last year, he also completed a 40-80-km endurance competition. He is set to participate in the CSI one-star competition in Malaysia on March 4 for the first time as an individual player. The association and the horseradish society need to nurture and support athletes, but Korea cannot even host an international competition.

I hope that the horse industry journal will develop well and be reborn as an established journal. As a media specializing in the horse industry, I hope it will set a direction for the proper development of the horse industry. Rather than immediate budget allocation, the government should suggest a big way for the horse industry. Then, ordinary businesses will follow it for profit, and as they follow, a situation where the horse industry will grow can be created. Lee Kwang-seop, CEO of Mirinae Horseback-riding Club, said that when we teach our children how to ride horses, we feel that the genes of the horseback riding people are alive. He also emphasized that the key to revitalizing youth horseback riding is the adoption of elementary and secondary subjects.

We need to make use of this. It is not possible to keep the old roads alive, but similarly, we can modernize Yeokcham and use it as a horseback-riding leisure center. Here, farming and fishing villages form cooperatives, and the government can support and build a massage here. Of course, the road connecting Yeokcham and Yeokcham is the rice bowl of the farming and fishing villages, so you have to clean up and manage the horse poop yourself. The rural horse-riding grounds that produce horses should be centered on simple experiences, and the leisure should go to the horseback-riding leisure trekking course. There are rest areas and accommodation facilities where you can relax, and there are local agricultural stores, and it can be a space that blends well with the horse industry and rural areas.

Some of the funds spent by the Korean Horse Racing Association for the development of horseback riding are supported by each city and provincial office of education so that principals and teachers can learn horseback riding and think that it will be effective for children. Last year, our horseback riding course also held a grassroots horse riding competition with the support of the Korean Horse Racing Association, and it is necessary to continuously expand support for horse riding competitions in each region. It is to develop into a local festival through local horse riding competitions. Children who participate in horse riding competitions will show off their skills and attend from parents to grandparents to see their children,

Equestrianism will not be as easy as that. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and the Korean Horse Racing Association should lead the way and present research data on character education and physical development. We need to prove and inform that children get really better when they ride horses. The best target will be the first grade of middle school or the sixth grade of elementary school. An MOU is signed with a local education office, and students in the area should ride horses for at least two hours a week for a year. There are statistics on educational indicators for each education office, and we should strive for publicity through materials such as how much our body grows when we ride

Direct financial support has its limits. If the government's support is to pour water for priming, it is now necessary to pour water in the right place. For the effect to be achieved by providing 40 million won and reaching 400, 4, and 40 billion won, the government should present a clear vision and induce the front-line sites to move accordingly. vague candy applications are not enough. It never means that they will survive by drinking water from the front-line horse racing grounds. The government should present a vision, and at the front-line horse racing grounds, we should devise and work accordingly to the project to fill it. If you order our children to ride horses, the genes of the horseback riding people are alive. They are clearly different from the Japanese children.

However, there are trials and errors and difficulties because the guidelines have not been established for sure. If you use a comparison to building a highway, in order to build a huge highway, you must draw a big picture, from where to where to put the road, and how many lanes to put it, and design and cultivate each section within that framework to complete the highway. Even though the word 'horse industry' is said, there is no big framework for the route and how to get there. Businessmen refer to the reality today and invest today and wait for the future if they have a vision and desire for the future. On the other hand, no matter how good the reality is today, they do not invest unless they have a vision for the future.

Many changes are already taking place around the world, but Korea's training technology is not keeping up with the trend yet. We must quickly accept advanced technologies in line with the flow of change. I think the most important thing is to introduce and inform new training technologies and methods in Korea. So I'm trying to be interested in that area, and I'm trying to provide the school children with the maximum opportunity to experience the changing training methods every day. I think that's what I should do and I should pay attention to. In addition, I think it should be possible for our students to find employment not only in Korea but also in foreign countries. If 'cultivation' is cutting and cutting wood to make materials,

First of all, I don't think recruiting members will be a big problem. Whether there are a lot of members at the beginning of the association, I think it will increase as more and more events and businesses are carried out. This is because everyone is interested in training horses. The biggest difficulty is that we must lead the divided horse training field together. At a time when trainers are currently scattered across the country, and horse racing and horseback riding are divided, there is a question of how to unite them. So, in the first year, I will pay great attention to integration and try to come up with a solution. Horseback riding is not divided into horse-riding and horse-riding, but horse-riding is in charge of training,

The relevant documents for approval have already been prepared, and I plan to visit the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs with the association's executives around next week. I plan to hold a symposium in the first half of this year. First of all, I plan to present the first symposium on topics related to training. And I plan to hold horse massage lectures, which many horse industry workers are very interested in. I think it would be a good idea to have this opportunity in a situation where people are interested in horse massage, but they do not know how to do it or what it will do. Rather than simply conveying theories, I plan to focus on practical skills that can be done directly. In addition, when horses train, lactic acid accumulates,

As an incumbent assistant teacher at Let's Run Park and a professor at Seorabeol University, he is also working hard to cultivate his younger students. In particular, in November last year, he was elected as the first chairman because he was highly praised for his contribution to the establishment of the Korean Horse Training Association. We met and interviewed Kwon Seung-joo, president of the Korean Horse Training Association, at Let's Run Park, with a bold ambition to make efforts to establish a training role model suitable for the domestic situation and to make the horse training industry the basis. I was very surprised to see that the award for the Future Contribution Award was confirmed. As I won the grand prize, I thought of two things.

In addition, IN and OUT will be included depending on whether indoors or outdoors, and the number will be included depending on the length and height. And in that year, the same course from the preliminary round to the finals will be operated all year round. This year, it plans to hold a horse industry education fair and further deepen it. At this meeting, a meeting will be held on how to hold a winter youth horse racing camp using excellent horse racing facilities of the horse industry professional training institution. Currently, he has asked Professor Jang Seok-am of Dankook University, who is the president of the Chungnam Horse Racing Association, to hold the meeting. It will be able to help each training institution while holding youth horse racing camps using the excellent horse racing facilities of the horse industry professional training institution.

Therefore, we plan to revitalize the "Korea Standard Jumping" event using the "Hunter Games" event. Lee Jong-eun, former president of the Student Horse Racing Association, also attracted and conducted education related to the "Hunter Games" event at his own expense for student horseback riding, but the current directors of the Student Horse Racing Association were educated. In order to develop according to the situation in Korea, symposiums, tests, and referee classes have been held continuously. Previously, the competition course was kept secret without being disclosed, but I don't think it is necessary to emphasize the educational purpose of student horseback riding. So, I will match the course and run the same course from the preliminary to the finals.

Last year, a competition to mark the victory of Korean students was held at Daemyung Vivaldi Park in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province. It is an international pony competition recognized by the International Federation of Horseback-riding. It was held in Daemyung. It is planned to hold the CSIP competition again this year, but the final decision has not been made due to the case of Jeong Yu-ra. If it is held, this year will be more upgraded than last year. For the student-athletes selected in the competition, we plan to give them the opportunity to observe foreign matches by utilizing the standing army system. Some associations will provide more opportunities to visit various overseas competitions by assisting them. Rather than concentrating benefits on some players, we will try to give benefits to more children. That is why the role of the international director is important.

They also learned that the Korea Federation of Student Horses works hard for them. These days, most families have only one or two children, so they may lack social skills and communication skills, but through education through an animal medium called horses, children can be purified and develop communication skills. I plan to strengthen the aspect of etiquette education in the future. Also, there is a need for a lot of publicity on the positive aspects of horseback riding. Last year, children gathered from all over the country just looking at the competition for the youth equestrian club. In some cases, buses are sold out from Jindo, Jeollanam-do, and they are flying from Jeju.

He said that he was close to Park and that he had nothing to do with politics. The Korea Federation of Horseback-riding has nothing to do with politics. It is more effective to use video clips of the federation's website or use social media to communicate horseback riding in writing. Based on the video content of the competition, we are planning to hold more youth games from this year. We plan to hold many competitions including regional competitions and qualifying matches for the club league. If the video clip of the competition is broadcast live, it will be possible to watch horse racing competitions in other regions. The youth competition in Imja Island, Sinan, South Jeolla Province, can be viewed by student horseback riding players in Gangneung, Gangwon Province without having to go there in person.

Originally, the government planned to hold a youth equestrian event in the square in front of Seoul City Hall, but it did not go well. Then, the plan was to change it to a park behind the National Assembly building in Yeouido, Seoul, and push for it again, but it failed at the end. As the plan was finally changed to hold the event within the Korean Racing Authority, the association decided to hold the event directly from the event to the establishment of the venue. Previously, there was a budget in consideration of the installation of stands and LED lights required to hold events in other places, but it seems that it was pointed out that it was a lax operation in the process of implementing it. And to some extent, I agree with the lack of management.

Although there were ups and downs, I am grateful to the delegates who trusted me and elected me. I think they acknowledged that I worked hard for student horseback riding for two years last year, so I should do my best. The current problem facing the horseback riding industry is the restoration of the image of horse riding, which has been tarnished due to suspicion of favoritism in horse riding. In this regard, the Student Horses Association believes that the youth should work harder to revive the crisis as an opportunity. Since I am a person who runs a business, I am trying to introduce a 'management mind' to the operation of the Student Horses Association. It is a kind of hide-and-seek concept. I will receive consulting from an expert, and if there is a talented person, I will recruit and work with him.

Kim argued that the Park Geun-hye administration would be most effective in securing tax revenues by cultivating the underground economy without increasing taxes, although there are many ways to implement welfare policies worth 100 trillion won. He said that illegal activities among underground economies range from 53 trillion won to 88 trillion won, although they vary depending on the investigating agency, stressing that more effective welfare policies can be implemented if only these funds are nurtured and taxed. It also strongly demanded that the role and function of the Audit Committee under the Audit Committee Act be completely transformed from a legal enforcement industry regulation to an illegal enforcement regulation body in order to eradicate illegal activities. At the same time, the government declared a full-scale war on illegal activities and urged all-out efforts to eradicate them.

The Korea Sports Promotion Foundation has entrusted Sports Toto to Orion, a private company, since 2003, and Orion has been evaluated as successful in charge of the deficit-ridden Sports Toto business. However, in June last year, when allegations were raised that an Orion Group executive raised a slush fund through Sports Toto, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism pushed for direct management of the corporation on the grounds that it could increase transparency of the business, strengthen publicity and increase the amount of public funds raised. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation argue that private companies aim to generate the largest profits within the contract period, which can worsen fairness with unreasonable profitability-oriented projects, and that failure to pay consignment fees can further raise public funds.
