In the fourth race of the Sunday race on January 12, the 4th "Dixibani" and the 6th "Clay Shot" ranked first and second in popularity in the race, but after a fierce preceding race from the beginning, they recorded poor performances of 6th and 9th place. The referee of the Horse Association judged that it was an "unnecessary preceding race" after deliberating on the situation and imposed suspensions on Kim Hye-sun and Kim Tae-hoon on the 4th and 2nd, respectively. Kim Hye-sun told the referee that "the race operation from the coach was a good thing and the start was a little slow, but the race result seemed not good because they competed for the good thing with the "Clay Shot," while Kim Tae-hoon said, "After the start, I tried to position the lead because my horse was faster than Dixibani, but I tried to control it and position it behind me, but it didn't work."

Since we met each other, I have met horses. One of my high school classmates said that his wife's family runs a racehorse production ranch on Jeju Island, and one day, he said that he was looking for a horse at Let's Run Park Pukyong. He said, "You are qualified, so register." So, we met without knowing what it is. In February this year, I graduated from graduate school with a master's degree in horse genetics. I run a jemagi machine 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 aim of completing it next spring. Horses have been scratched

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,

This is a job where ticket sales workers, who are part-time horse racing workers, only go to work on the day of the horse race to issue tickets and guide them, and are currently working two days a week, so they are ultra-short-time workers with less than 15 hours per week. If the working hours per week are more than 15 hours, they can receive paid holidays and annual paid leave under the Labor Act and Labor Standards Act, and are eligible for severance pay. The horseracing union said, "The actual working hours are more than 15 hours, but the actual working hours are more than 15 hours by forcing the horseracing society to adjust the meal time and rest time," and added, "We cannot even afford to eat because the management cuts the meal time and rest time by 10 minutes. All actual working hours should be recognized."

Over the past decade, his performance has always been in the top 10 in terms of multiple wins and prize money. I tried to win the grand prize and special races countless times, but the third place was the best. Most of them, no matter how good their performance is in general races, would be their wish to go up to the podium. By the time I decided to give up my path to face (the grand prize and special race song) a few more times, I realized that I had no relationship with him. By the time heba decided to give up my path to face each other and work hard on my business, he worked hard and won the KNN Cup and the Gyeongnam Provincial Governor Cup last year and became the best mare

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,

To do that, I want to strive for the welfare of horses. I want to continue to develop myself, not in a stopped state, by studying more fields and continuing to experience and experience in practice. I want to be 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 about going to graduate school. I want to work in teaching and researching." Just as I am familiar with the use and precautions of a product when I buy one, I hope the days will come when Koreans will be familiar with the habits and behaviors of horses and approach them more friendly and safe.

As soon as he took the reins, the horse ran wild and was taken to the hospital after being hit in the abdomen by the horse's back foot while holding the lead strap. The diagnosis revealed that the pancreas was damaged. Fortunately, surgery was not required. Instead, he had to go to the hospital after receiving medication for a month. After the accident, people around him said they were puzzled to see me ask how the horse was doing. After the incident, they started to pay more attention to safety. They reflect on dangerous behaviors they unconsciously did, and emphasize the importance of safety to their juniors. All expenses incurred at the hospital at the time were covered by the horseriding rink. I would like to express my gratitude to the chairmen,

Horse racing fans who visited horse racing parks and over-the-counter branches ahead of the end of the year and the closure of Seoul Horse Racing Park were found to have been able to release them normally without much fuss, despite a slight increase from the previous week. The Korea Horse Racing Association and the KRA have negotiated a total of 15 times since August 16 on 110 union requirements and 78 KRA requirements, but failed to narrow their differences, and negotiations were held through mediation by the National Labor Relations Commission on December 15 but the negotiations broke down as they failed to reach an agreement, and the horse racing union eventually reported a strike on the 20th. The horse racing union demanded that the average working hours per week be recognized as more than 15 hours (transition to employment types) reflecting actual working hours.

He is still competing as an athlete. In class, he teaches us the general elements related to horseback riding and allows us to experience them. Above all, he is a warm mentor. Professor Kwon Seung-joo is currently an assistant teacher at Let's Run Park Pukyong and gives us new news and information through lectures, so he gives us lectures that we want to continue to listen to even after graduation. Lastly, I am also proud of Professor Lee Dong-hoon's excellent lecture, who was in charge of the solid theory of the sports leadership course. Our school has warm blood needed to prepare for the practical training of certification, an indoor racetrack that can be prepared without a hitch, and rehabilitation horses that can be exercised at any time.

Pony Land and rehabilitation horse riding facilities. Gyeonggi Province is in talks with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to start construction of infrastructure later this year. Since 2011, when the Horse Industry Promotion Act was promoted, Gyeonggi Province has pushed for various policies to be designated as a special zone for horse industries, focusing on building production bases and installing small horse riding facilities. However, ahead of the first application for the designation of a special industrial zone at the end of last year, it failed to apply for the designation of a special zone because it did not meet the requirements under the relevant laws.

Since the domestic horse industry is just beginning to grow, we will actively introduce cases of advanced countries in the foreign horse industry so that Jeju can lead the global horse industry as well as Korea," said an official from Jeju Self-Governing Province.With the aim of completing the project in 2016, Gyeonggi Province will start to create "Eco Farmland," which will be an outpost for fostering the horse industry, and based on this, it will re-designate a special horse industry zone. Eco Farmland will be built on 768 hectares of reclaimed land in Hwaong, Hwaseong, and will be the first livestock, agricultural and tourism complex in the country to be built on reclaimed land for agricultural purposes, with the horse industry at its core. A total of 560.9 billion won will be invested, and six institutions, including Gyeonggi Province, Hwaseong City, Horse Association, Livestock Cooperatives, Rural Community Corporation and Research Facilities, will participate.

Studying horse-related laws and horse health management also made it more fun and memorable for the rest of my life. Above all, I would like to thank Professor Choo Ho-geun for his experience, Professor Geum-ran Park, Jeong-soo Ryu, and Seung-joo Kwon for their professional theories and experiences. Seorabeol University is a state-designated institution to train professional manpower in the horse industry. Professors are doing great work in each field of the horse industry. First, Professor Park Geum-ran, dean of the Massagua Department, is engaged in various activities related to rehabilitation horseback riding. While working as an academic director at the Korea Rehabilitation Horse Association, he teaches creative theories

As a major investment project, it will invest KRW 9.9 billion by 2017 to build a horse base training center. Reflecting Jeju's geographical and environmental characteristics, it will develop a consumer-oriented eco-healing maro program such as mountain climbing, ranch grasslands, and coastal horseback riding. KRW 3.4 billion will be invested in this by 2017. It is expected to be of great help in terms of management as the horse-related business environment will be improved as corporate tax or income tax reduction, national and public property can be borrowed and used under private contracts for horse operators in special zones, or sold. Sales from the horse industry are expected to increase from KRW 130.6 billion in 2012 to KRW 220 billion in 2017. Jeju Province expects the effect of revitalizing the rural economy, cultivating youth character, and developing leisure culture when the horse industry develops into a complex cultural industry that improves the quality of life for the people.

During the interview, I met Professor Park Geum-ran and Professor Choo Ho-geun, and thought that I could fulfill my dream, so I decided to enter the school. I remember being very tired of preparing for the certificate that had continued for two years. When preparing for writing, I had to constantly prepare course practice and overall practical skills for horses whenever I had time to prepare for practical skills, even if I was persistently attached to my desk. The process was difficult, but the process of preparing for it with professors, colleagues, seniors, and juniors at school became a pleasant memory. Now, ahead of graduation, I feel a little awkward about not having a tight schedule and plans as I did when I was in school.

It would not be easy for Samsung and Hanwha to take over the chairman's office of the Horse Racing Authority in another company that has nothing to do with horses. We are athletes. We have no intention of being politically involved. I just hope the athletes' thoughts will be conveyed well like this. The reason I asked for an interview with the Horse Industry Journal is that it is a media company that understands the situation in the horse racing world rather than other media companies. I do not intend to have any further interviews at the athletes' council. The perception that horseback riding is an aristocratic sport has declined a lot, but it is a pity that horse riding is considered bad and sold due to the Choi Soon-sil incident. Not only horse riding but all sports and the sports industry itself have no choice but to take a step back.

Whatever the group, Samsung and Hanwha, paid 1.5 billion won, 1.6 billion won a year, applied for the association, or did, it helped the players. Horseback riding is an event without government support, so you can't compete without a company sponsoring it, and it's hard to participate in the Olympics.Until now, the chairman's office has been handled by the Korea Racing Authority, Hanwha, and Samsung. Because the company continued to support the money there, the association was able to run and host matches. You might say that 1.5 billion won is small, but if you pay for it every year, the company should be considerable. Although the Korea Racing Authority is said to be a company related to horses, the company's former chairman liked horseback riding, and applied.

Most athletes start exercising with the ambition of winning medals in the Olympics and Asian Games. I don't think I'll just go to college while riding. Students who go to college and compete in the next Asian Games will participate in school classes and exercise with the dream of trying out for the next Asian Games. In preparation for the Olympics, he applied from various fields, starting with the off-season training. Because Samsung spent money and provided support for the development of horseback riding, we were able to participate in the Olympics and Asian Games and win a medal. After the Olympics, we can go out and guide other athletes and deliver their know-how, which is huge. All horseback riders know that Samsung has developed a lot in horseback riding.

And I fully understand the news conference about the fact that they suffered damage due to Choi Soon-sil. Isn't it unfair from their point of view that executive director Park Won-oh came down and said something while the referee was watching? I hope that one person, Jeong Yu-ra, will not harm Amon's special athletes. Most of the students exercise since they were young and still take time out of school. All special athletes don't do it like Jeong Yu-ra. I have a friend who goes to college among the students I teach now. I go to Hanyang University, but I can't come today. Tomorrow, he takes classes, and he comes to exercise after 3 p.m. He takes classes, and he comes to exercise even if it's late in the afternoon. Most of them are like that.

The argument that preventing preceding competition in horse racing, which exists on the premise of competition, is absurd and that excessive preceding competition that harms horse racing fans, regardless of the proper line, should not disappear easily. The Korea Horse Association is in charge of developing horse industry personnel, and it is expected that the level of domestic horse industry personnel will be further improved by receiving know-how from France's representative horse racing agency, an advanced country in the horse industry.The KRA Korean Horse Association, which was designated as a dedicated organization for fostering the industry at the end of 2012, was designated as a 'horse industry professional human resources training institution' in October 2013, and is accelerating the horse industry professional human resources training projects that were already being promoted. The signing of this MOU is also the result of various overseas training programs that have been pursued so far.
