Gradually, at first, some of the horses that have completed the departure inspection are allowed in.The next step is to allow only horses that have passed the 100% departure inspection to enter. As the next step, some that passed the driving inspection come in, and then only horses that passed 100% come in. They prepared a system where if they passed on the day of joining, they would come in as racehorse masseurs, and if they failed, they would be sent home again. The trained and tamed horses are those that have passed at least the minimum driving inspection.

Just as a study pattern is determined by the college entrance system, it is important to set the conditions and direction for joining as a racehorse. Just as it takes at least five years to reach the level of fear in the training process, we cannot do it immediately, but we will begin by signaling how the requirements for entering the racehorse industry will proceed step by step in the future, and what preparations producers and owners need to make.Last year, a roadmap was drawn in the mid- to long-term race resource management plan to strengthen the competitiveness of Jeju horse racing.

Because there were various conflicts as the Halla horse and the Jeju horse ran together, there was no capacity to systematically invest training or energy.At the end of February 2016, with the signing of an agreement on the development of the horse industry, the obstacle to going to Jeju horse racing was removed. I couldn’t carry the Jeju horse race on like this. I had to provide products that customers wouldn’t feel embarrassed about.First, we prepared a “school system” that organizes the production process systematically.

We will unite the funeral rites organization even more so that it can become an organization that revives the horse industry in the future. The generals will unite, share information, and build their strength.In his opening remarks, Chairman Hyun Myung-kwan said, “To contribute, even if only a little, to the development of world horse racing, Korean horse racing, which was promoted one step up from Part 3 to Part 2 this year, will prepare for the inaugural Korea Cup international race by inviting outstanding horses and jockeys from seven countries around the world.” He added, “We will do our utmost to enter Part 1 in 2020, the 100th anniversary of Korean horse racing.” He explained the purpose of the roundtable, saying, “We ask not only questions about the Korea Cup but also good suggestions for the development of Korean horse racing.”

Unlike Thoroughbred, where production, training, and development are systematized, they are being put into racing at some point simply because they have reached an age. Because they come in without proper training, their expertise is lacking and accidents happen frequently. Even the horses’ running level drops. The ability is good, but the words and the deviation are also severe. Overall, the quality of the race is declining. Jeju horse racing is broadcast in Seoul and Busan,

It may go without saying, but we must engage in sustained and close exchanges. In the meantime, I had also gone about not knowing the faces of the funeral directors. Through this Jangjesa conference, Jangjesa practitioners scattered across the country gathered and exchanged ideas. From now on, we will hold a funeral rites conference at least every year so that we can share our stories with one another.I have to go abroad and learn. There is much to learn just by going outside and seeing it with your own eyes. There are many jangjesa in other countries, and they have a long history. There are about 2,500 chief ritual officers in Europe, and about 10,000 in the United States. On the other hand, about 70 chief ritual officers are active in our country.

Through his activities in Macau at the time, he was able to learn various riding techniques, and it also served as a stepping stone for his growth after returning to Korea.Jockey Moon Se young expressed her support for the younger jockeys’ growth, saying, Rather than feeling pressured by results, I hope that through me, the younger jockeys can freely expand overseas. Also, I felt that I needed a change because I thought staying was scary. He said, “I think that if he adapts in a difficult environment

The goal is to raise public awareness of the funeral industry among ordinary people. On March 30 of this year, the Korea Hoof Technicians Association received permission from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the ministry responsible for the horse industry, to change its name from the Korea Hoof Technicians Association to the Korea Jangjesa Association. This began from the idea that, since jangje is a major pillar of the horse industry, the public should be made aware of “what jangje is.” They plan to promote the horse industry further by sharing the same name as the national qualification exam. We plan to participate in various events related to the horse industry nationwide in the future. In October, they plan to participate in the Horse Industry Expo held at KINTEX and present a jangje. In addition, we will continue to maintain close relationships with funeral service associations abroad, train technicians through business agreements with schools, and do so.

Singapore, classified as a Part 2 country by the International Commission on the Classification of Races, is an “advanced Asian horse racing nation,” and its level of racehorses and degree of internationalization are significantly ahead of Korea. In particular, although the Singapore Turf Club is known for its strict requirements for admitting foreign jockeys, it is said that Moon Se-young was able to enter the race on short notice thanks to his excellent performance, the hosting of international events such as the Korea Cup,

When my father became my maternal grandfather, he told me to study horses. At the time, I was studying in the Department of Livestock Management, Distribution, and Economics at Konkuk University, and I thought that if I wanted to study horses, I should go horseback riding. While horseback riding, I began to connect directly with the horse. As I touched and rode the horses myself, I found myself unknowingly captivated by their charm. I always read books and watched videos about horses,

I think I’m still too young to manage a small group. I’m at an age where I should be learning through experience, but managing it myself presents many difficulties. There is a lack of knowledge and experience in personnel management and government policy necessary for running a ranch. I thought I knew a fair amount of speech and had studied a lot, but raising it myself turned out to be different from what I had imagined. I had dreamed of a life where I could run and play with words and live at ease.

test008

But in reality, besides horse management, there are many tasks to do such as pasture management, facility management, and government support, so there are many difficulties. At present, I am receiving help from my father and others around me who have extensive experience in horses. Because I am young, I have the advantage of being able to work with enthusiasm. I can work for my own words without fussing over this and that. I’m still far from enough, so I’m trying to gain as many diverse experiences as possible.

Also, whether it is the government or the sports council, I ask for your continued support and encouragement in this matter.The Daemyung Group, which spares no investment in equestrianism, is undeniably playing a leading role in the development of equestrianism in Korea. Director Kim Hong-chul said that the May On Eohos,which began in 2015, continues to develop, and ultimately hopes to attract a CSI5 so that foreign players can bring their own horses and compete fairly with domestic competitors.

Pushing and pulling at each other, fighting, sulking, and going on a nerve-wracking back-and-forth, only to regret it when one of us gets hurt. Though it may only be a short period, it already feels as if I have lived a life.A horse is the most beautiful animal bestowed by the gods. Its appearance is truly beautiful, and unlike deer or other animals, it has a moderate level of aggressiveness, so I think it can live in harmony with humans.A love for words comes first above all else. If you love horses, you develop a passion for them. I hope that with that passion, you’ll make the things we couldn’t achieve happen. To develop equestrianism in South Korea, we may not have enough time, but young equestrian hopefuls have plenty of time and boundless potential for growth.

test008

However, I don’t know how long it will take. The Mayon Eohos that the Daemyung Group hopes to realize is to be developed up to CSI5, creating an environment where foreign athletes can bring their horses directly to Korea, interact with the horses already present, and participate in regular equestrian competitions that is the ultimate goal. In addition, as a fellow equestrian, I would like to express my respect to the management of Daemyung Group, who are serving in that role selflessly.

In particular, it is judged that building a large dedicated equestrian stadium is the most important. There should be an equestrian stadium where long-term equestrian competitions can be held, and through those competitions, everything related to the production and sale of domestic horses—such as feed and tack—should be sold and able to be revitalized. I think that is the only way for the business to be unified. In addition, I hope that more international competitions like the “Mayon Uhose” will be held.

Over the past five years, a horse industry project was launched as a government policy. As far as I know, it first began between 2011 and 2012, and if the first five years were spent creating 500 equestrian venues and training specialized equestrian personnel as part of the initial project, it seems that the five-year plan for the future development of equestrianism is currently at a standstill.Therefore, I think we need to transform the drifting project into a virtuous cycle structure that can encompass everything, including the sales market.

Last year it was held on the lawn course, and this year it took place at the Sonopellice Equestrian Club. We also wanted to introduce and show Sono Felice Riding Club to the public, and it is true that last year, due to inconveniences with the practice arena and other facilities, we were unable to provide the horses with the best possible environment. This year, we played in a dedicated field so that the horses could compete in their best condition. Although it lacked the beauty and style of a grass field,

Compared to baseball, which has risen to become one of Korea’s representative sports, the popularization of equestrianism may sound like a distant prospect. However, during the second edition, the audience’s enthusiastic response and attention witnessed on site convinced us that the popularization of equestrianism was not far off, and it became the driving force behind organizing May On Eohos 2017.Going forward, Daemyung Group intends to lead efforts to popularize equestrianism by combining the diverse cultures loved by the public

Since 2014, Deputy Director Kim Jin-gap, who has been in charge of Jeju race resource management at LetsRun Park Jeju, has also been making painstaking efforts over the long haul as the person in charge, developing related policies and manuals, persuading farms, and leading education efforts. On May 7, we met on site with Kim Jin-gap, head of the Race Resource Management Department at LetsRun Park Jeju, to hear about the progress, including the systematic breeding process of racehorse Jeju horses.

Most people think of horse racing as gambling.However, in everyday life, quite a large number of people enjoy horse racing as a leisure activity. If the environment and culture of horse racing are improved so that horse racing can be enjoyed as a leisure activity, and the horse racing industry is revitalized through this, the horse industry will also become more active. I believe that revitalizing the horse industry can also provide great benefits to our society.First of all, I think it would be wonderful if the next government would listen to the demands

Even in Japan, it becomes 75.1%, and in Hong Kong, 78.1%. In countries like the United Kingdom or Australia, it reaches as high as 89%. Our country takes too many taxes. On top of that, there are many horse racing taxes, including a 100% increase in entrance fees, double taxation at more than 100 times the rate, and refunds exceeding 2 million won. So the content is that horse racing taxes should be reduced. It also contained the content that online betting must be conducted.

Horse racing is a sport that can be fully enjoyed as a leisure activity. The reason for organizing this gathering today is to improve the negative image of horse racing, which is perceived by people as gambling despite being fully enjoyable as a leisure activity. In addition, it is to create a public forum to discuss tax issues unfavorable to us horse racing fans and the reintroduction of online betting ticket sales. I stopped online betting ticket sales around 2009, and I thought that such a public discussion platform might be necessary to bring online sales back into practice.
