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.

This is the part that demanded the resignation of Samsung, the current chairman of the Horse Racing Association. The players are grateful for the fact that a large company called Samsung supports them as the chairman of the Horse Racing Association. Horse racing is an unpopular sport, but it has invested in and contributed to the development of Korean horse racing. If Samsung steps down from its chairman's position right now, how will the horse racing association operate right away and how will next year's competition be held? It is nonsense to just demand Samsung's resignation without any countermeasure. He did not think about our horse-riding athletes and horse-riding people. What they said at the press conference was not all of us horse-riding people, but as victims.

According to a comprehensive analysis of the race screen and the athletes' statements, the judges judged that the results of the race were not good due to the exhaustion of the physical strength of the two horses from the start to the middle of the race while Kim Hye-sun and Kim Tae-hoon competed with each other in the early stages of the race, and that Kim Hye-sun was suspended for four days and Kim Tae-hoon was suspended for two days considering that he was an inexperienced trainee. However, not a few horse racing fans have raised objections to the decision by the horseracing judging room. He argued that leading competitions are also an element of horse racing, pointing out that the sanctions of "unnecessary leading competitions" have eliminated the sense of excitement in horse racing. Meanwhile, complaints against the judges of the horse society continued, leading to a series of issues such as "absolute authority for adjudication," "lack of objectivity," and "equity in sanction level."

In the second race, Kim, who aimed to take the lead but finished third, took the lead in the third race by working with the "Runner Queen" with her quickness, and did not allow subsequent horses to be added to the finish line and reached the 200th victory mark. Sixteen years have passed since 2000, when Lee Shin-young, who is now working as an assistant teacher, entered the world of jockey, which was considered a space for women with Lee Geum-joo (currently a professor at Yeongdong University), but the world of jockey is still not an easy choice for women. Because of her short stature, Kim Hye-sun had to give up her dream of becoming a dance and handball player she liked. It is true that height served as a limit for her interest in using her body. Having found a job as a "skier" who could sublimate that limit to her strengths,

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."

Kim Hye-sun, who became the first female Korean racer to reach the 100th mark on Nov. 2, 2013, is making a new history in every race by achieving 200 wins in two years and 10 months. With the Korea Cup International Race and International Week drawing attention from domestic horse racing fans as well as many foreign horse racing circles, Kim Hye-sun was personally left with 200 wins and -3 wins. Although Kim achieved 197 wins with the victory of Ilgi Dangcheon in the 11th race on Sept. 4, it was difficult to guarantee 200 wins as she did not record a win since Aug. 20. However, she won the "Cheonji Storm" in the 7th race of the HRI Trophy on the 10th and took a step forward to 200 wins after a leading race.

This is because he witnessed his mother-in-law, who had stroke, recover from the disease in the same way. Horse meat, pills, and extract are good for stroke and osteoporosis are directly affected by old adults. Perhaps that's why she is also interested in businesses that use by-products such as may oil cosmetics and soap. A few years ago, she refined oil, made may soap, and passed the technology on to a parent company. She also said that Korean cosmetics using Jeju horse oil are of high quality, even though she has used Japanese oil. It will be sold overseas soon. When she reopens her Baekma Restaurant, which is about to start its second journey, she will also handle mayu soap again. We are also developing a way to make extract into a drink.

Horse meat restaurants and suppliers must look far ahead together and deliver high-quality meat so that consumers can have a good perception. It is very upsetting to hear that horse meat people who have eaten it smell. Everyone is hissing, but just as many of the horsemen in Jeju Island are vulnerable to safety issues, most of the places known as horse meat restaurants also use bad homa. There is even a case where they receive "Jeju horse meat" from a land restaurant. This is because of Sujita-san. It is clear that producing and distributing high-quality meat will bring more people to popularization with low immediate profits, and if so, more people will visit it, but the popularization of horse meat is also getting bruised in the business.

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.

Jeju horses have good marbling and are savory but somewhat hard to chew. If they run all the way to Gyeongju, they don't have marbling. Even if they live in the same mountain range, less blood is required for the horse racing. Marbling is good for varieties that are mixed with Jeju horses and traditional horses. He said that cattle and other livestock support a lot for farming, but horses rarely. The cost of castration alone costs about 10 million won per year. Both the cost of slaughter and the cost of slaughter were not supported. However, the Seogwipo City Livestock Cooperative recently provided partial support for the cost of slaughtering. Feeding for horses is also expensive and nothing is done properly. Under these circumstances, in order to save money,

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.

We will continue to make efforts to lay the foundation for the development of the horse industry by training professionals in the horse industry to strengthen educational capabilities." The Korean Horse Association is making efforts to improve the image of horse racing and over-the-counter branches by appeasing the public sentiment of residents through local volunteering in Yongsan and opening cultural centers. There are no legal defects before the Yongsan branch. As the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has already said, the governor is operating in the same area, so there is no need to seek the consent of local residents for the relocation. Also, the distance to the school that the opposition claims is beyond 200m set by law, so there is no big problem.

Even though they served fresh and high-quality meat and ran the restaurant neatly, Tubu would be stubborn as if it were an oil field. When his party recommended him to try it, the customer, who reluctantly ate it, added more raw beef. And. Rumor has it that he became a regular for 10 years. At that time, most farmers just slaughtered horses. Maintaining freshness was important, but freshness was always on the back burner due to the culture of not sharing meat, including liver and intestines. He decided that rather than selling high-quality horse meat alone, restaurants in the province would have to sell fresh meat to coexist. About five years after he opened the restaurant, he started distributing it to promote fresh horse meat.

The principle is to offer fresh and high-quality horse meat to customers. When horse meat comes in, it should be sold within 15 days. Since it is not fresh if the caught meat is left for a long time, the meat was sold cheaply or the meat was made and distributed to customers. People around me dissuaded me from providing expensive meat, but I stuck to the principle. A year later, customers lined up. Baekma Restaurant was well-known for its delicious, fresh, and high-quality horse meat on the table, and word of mouth was fast. Fresh beef sashimi was also provided free of charge to customers.

To her, the horse was a 'living-on-living' issue. Twenty years ago, my husband had an accident and had to stay in the hospital for a long time. At those desperate moments, she started a sushi restaurant nearby, taking care of her husband's livelihood. There were quite a lot of customers because she insisted on making natural products, but her husband moved to Seoul and had to close the restaurant. As she was a country lady who only lived at home, she couldn't get a job There was nothing I could do. Then, I remembered the horse meat I used to eat when I was young.
