As a countermeasure to overcome poverty, he began to spread new agricultural technologies by establishing the Seong Isidol Ranch and cultivating the barren mountains of Hallasan Mountain. In 1957, he purchased 35 sheep, organized a 4H club, and created a livestock bank. He also made his own feed factory and supplied it to farmers at a low price. In 1959, he also created a sewing factory called Hallim Vertical to provide jobs to more than 1,300 women. In 1970, the clinic was opened to provide free medical treatment to patients with extreme poverty.

Since horseback riding is a long-term sport, and the gold medalist in the equestrian event at the Rio Olympics is 53, I will try my best to meet the expectations. The selection matches will be held in a three-round manner over three days, including May 31, June 2 and 4. I have participated in the Incheon Asian Games, and I know how it feels, so I want to try again. I will do my best as much as I have helped, and I hope I can return to Belgium with a smile.I really hope that Korean horseback riding will develop in the future, and for it to develop, we need a player who attracts attention and shines in Europe. I hope that the athlete becomes me, and I am confident that I will work hard. That's how I want to hear that Korean athletes can ride horses so well in Europe.

There is a circular structure, such as producing and training young horses and then selling them, or buying and growing them as young horses and reselling them. In addition, there are cases where players with good horses participate in competitions and produce excellent records and sell them at high prices. It cannot be said uniformly, and they vary widely. It's like a stock. When horses are young, they are bought relatively cheap, grown and sold again, and as this process is repeated, farmers also make some profit. If a horse is successful, it can generate even greater profits. Auctions for selling young horses are also held occasionally, and horses circulate to run the economy.

As is well known, in the midst of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the rapidly changing world situation, the horse racing industry is also facing internal and external crises and upheaval. In particular, the horse racing industry around the world is in need of many changes and innovations as it enters a recession, and the Korean horse racing industry is also facing an era of transformation. The development of the horse industry begins with the horse racing industry, which is a lifeline. In order for the horse industry to become a new growth engine in the rural economy, it is obvious that a huge amount of financial resources must be raised, and for this purpose, the revitalization of the horse racing industry is the driving force. Real innovation begins with communication and sharing.

Currently, the Korean horse industry is expected to grow and develop in accordance with the implementation of the Horse Industry Promotion Act. However, it is still insufficient because it has not achieved any practical effect on the field. Moreover, the recent manipulation of state affairs has deepened public distrust and misunderstanding of the horse industry, which has been a great hurt to our horse racers. However, despite unfavorable conditions, our horse racers have begun a sprint of change and innovation with the interest and support of horse racing fans. Korean horse racing has made a leap forward as a part II country since July 2016 and has advanced to the Dubai World Cup this year, proudly matching the world.

In addition to providing all the information and news that take place at the Busan Gyeongnam Horse Racing Park to horse racing fans faster and more lively than anyone else, I think the Korean Horse Racing Culture Newspaper, which is proud to be the number one horse racing platform in Korea, has represented the history and culture of Korean horse racing. As such, I applaud your constant efforts for the continuous development of Korean horse racing. In addition, I would like to express my gratitude to the Horse Racing Culture Newspaper for its excellent role as a medium of the horse racing world by listening to each horse racing fan's voice for a positive recognition of Korean horse racing culture.

With the recent fluctuations in the domestic horse industry, I would like to evaluate that he has faithfully served as a communication channel with the field over the past 30 years as a specialized paper covering the horse racing industry and the horse industry, and has contributed greatly to the advancement of horse racing and the establishment of the correct horse culture.

When we start talking about horses in Korean society, it is virtually true that we think of horse racing first. However, horse racing has a limited number of people who enjoy it, and concerns about its gambling have also been raised. Therefore, we ask you to introduce more articles on horse racing, which can expand the range of people who enjoy horses indefinitely. From the standpoint of a horse producer, it is meaningful to sell or rent a horse at a high price, but you feel more proud to meet more people. I hope that the spread of horse riding culture will become active through racing media. Finally, I hope that news from the production farms will be communicated through racing media. The Hallama Producers Association will also try to promote the situation and activities of the association and production farmers through racing media.

Even though cars have replaced horses, we humans have not been able to erase the history we shared with horses. We could not put horses on the path of history. We continued to support horses running and were enthusiastic about horse racing, and enjoyed horseback riding in common. I believe racing media's footsteps in 19 years are helping horses be remembered, cheered, and breathed in the scenes of our human lives without disappearing as a historical relic. The Hanramar Producers Association is an association of horse-producing farmers in Jeju. Born with the sound of crying a horse, I also rode a horse first before I learned how to walk, and I have lived raising horses all my life. As a person who raises horses,

However, there are many challenges for the domestic horse industry to take a leap forward and develop. The government is making various efforts to expand the base of the horse industry, including horse breeding, revitalization of leisure sports, training of professional manpower, and manufacturing of related goods. In parallel with the government's efforts, the interest and cooperation of the industry, local governments, and related organizations are very important. If we put our heads together and work together, the horse industry will be able to foster the horse industry as a new growth engine and future industry for our agricultural and livestock industry. We ask that the continue to raise the public's awareness of the domestic horse industry through active publicity and communication.

I deeply appreciate the role of the media in leading the culture of the horse industry and the company's officials, including Kim Moon-young, CEO of Racing Media, who has faithfully delivered horse racing information. From the horse culture newspaper to KRJ Broadcasting, the horse industry journal to the Perfect Today's horse industry, it seems beautiful to see them scrambling to deliver substantial and correct information. It also makes me feel proud as a person in the horse industry. I don't think it's that easy to work on one field for 19 years. The contents and fields that have been delivered in that time will be diverse and endless. I am confident that these things are sufficiently serving as compasses for creating the Korean horse culture and leading the horse industry.

The Horse Industry Promotion Act was enacted by collecting opinions from each class for the development of Korea's horse industry, and many changes and developments are being made, including the implementation of a five-year plan for the development of the horse industry and the designation of a special horse industry zone. The second five-year plan is also being implemented. If there are any shortcomings, it is necessary to look back on whether there are substantial factors to match the external expansion and if there are any shortcomings, it is necessary to find ways to go far together rather than fast by strengthening the foundation. There were many twists and turns due to the innovation of horse racing at the production ranch, but many investments

After moving to Suncheon, he served as an aide to Suncheon Cathedral for five months and came to Jeju in 1954 as a missionary of the St. Golom Outpost Missionary Church and took the post at the Hallim Public Office of Central Headquarters. Father McGrinch, who witnessed the reality of Jeju, which was struggling with poverty due to the Jeju April 3 incident and the Korean War, took the lead in modernization by laying the foundation for cattle farming and establishing social welfare facilities. He bought a Yorkshire pig from Incheon and brought it to Hallim in Jeju, which later became the basis of the largest ranch in the East,

However, the horses that played during the 2014 Asian Games are not circulating and are stepping out. If companies and others support it, I think horses will be circulated and a better riding environment and riding culture will be created.Of course. It is an important point, but it is somewhat difficult for the players if the association is not operating normally. In my case, I am working out in Europe, so the exact date of the selection match was important. For the selection match, I had to come to Korea from Europe, but it was difficult to get in shape because I was undecided, and I decided on a date to go to Korea almost to shoot it again. It's because you can't go to tomorrow right away, and you have to go through a quarantine. You can't exercise in quarantine, so you need enough time and schedule.
