Rather than putting forward only their own interests, each association should put their heads together and think deeply about how to develop the industry rather than how to harmonize and overcome the current difficult situation. Of course, horse society sales are on the decline right now, and although the view of the horse industry is not good, a breakthrough will be found if we put our heads together and move toward development. Kwon Seung-joo, president of the Korean Horse Association, compared it to the process of building a building to foster the horse industry. If 'cultivation' is cutting and cutting trees to make materials, 'training' is the process of those carpenters trimming and assembling them, emphasizing the important role of horse trainers in fostering the horse industry.

Mayon-a-horse" started with the hope of raising public interest in horseback riding, a healing sport. In particular, "Mayon-a-horse" learned the advanced trends of Europe, the home of horseback riding, and tried to make a competition comparable to that, and as a result, it has established itself as the current "Mayon-a-horse." A special stadium was set up on natural grass and cultural contents that the public was interested in were incorporated into it. Compared to baseball, which has risen as a representative sport in Korea, the popularization of horseback riding may sound a little distant. However, the audience's response and gaze from the scene during the last two competitions were convinced that the popularization of horseback riding was not far away, and it was the driving force behind the hosting of "Mayon-a-horse 2017."

Just as all cultures and technologies change with the times, the field of 'training' also changes with the times. There are many changes already taking place around the world, but Korea's training technology is not keeping up with the trend yet. We need to quickly embrace advanced technologies in line with the flow of change. Above all, I think it is most important to introduce and inform Korea of new training technologies and methods. So I'm trying to be interested in that, and I'm trying to provide the school children as much as possible to experience the changing training methods every day. That's what I have to do and I think I should pay attention to. In addition, I think it should be possible for our students to get a job not only at home but also abroad.

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. Currently, trainers are scattered across the country, and there is an invisible sense of disparity between horse racing and horseback riding. In the first year, I am thinking about how to combine them into one. Therefore, I am very interested in integration and try to come up with a solution. Horseback riding is not a part of the training, but horse racing is in charge of training and the part that horse racing can do should go together. I have been with horses for a long time and have guided national certificates related to horses for a long time, but last year I obtained a trainer license that I had not acquired.

Food and Rural Affairs by early March. 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, and they plan to provide practical education on how this substance works and how it can be applied in the horse industry.

In the case of Thoroughbred, the horserace has invested a lot of money in producing and training it from the stage before it becomes a racehorse. They make a lot of efforts before entering the racehorse by creating a longevity and Jeju ranch and operating personnel. On the other hand, in the case of Jeju horses, there were no such efforts. The general public's perception of Jeju horses and even the horserace employees' perception is that "Jeju horses can run with them." Like Thoroughbred, the production, training, and fostering processes are not systematic, but at some point, they are put into the race because they are old. As they enter the race without training, their expertise is poor and there are many accidents.

Therefore, I think the drifting project should be transformed into a virtuous cycle structure that can encompass everything, including the trading market. In particular, it is judged that the construction of a large horse-riding stadium is the most important. A horse-riding stadium must be available to hold horse-riding competitions for a long time there, and through the competition, everything such as domestic horse production, sales, feed, and janggu can be sold and activated. That way, I think the business can be unified. In addition, it would be nice if more such 'Mayon-a-horse' and international competitions were held. Of course, it is a sport. Horse-riding is an official Olympic sport. The recent problem with Jeong Yu-ra was also a negative aspect of political involvement. It is unfortunate that horse-riding is viewed negatively.

The main character of this interview is Kwon Seung-joo, president of the Korean Horse Training Association, who won the Future Contribution Award. 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.

You may question the effectiveness of the standard manual. So, we designated a demonstration farm. Four farms with facilities and motivation were designated among the producers. I selected 24 from four farms and they are actually training them according to the manual. Jeju National University, which produced the training manual, and staff of the pilot farm meet once a month to show results and refine the manual for difficulties. After some time, the horses were produced according to the manual. They track the data and compare horses that have been trained at the pilot farm with other horses according to their age. We will track and announce how early the race will be and how good their performance will be after the race. Knowing that it will be effective in other farms, we hope that it will spread to other farms soon."

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 human resources 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 a meeting. By using the excellent horse racing facilities of the horse industry professional human resources training institution, the youth horse racing camp will be held to promote youth riding education, while helping each training institution with difficulties.

Among the youth horseback riding sports, there is a "hunter game" that looks at the accuracy of posture. Student horseback riding needs an educational purpose that induces accurate riding rather than immediate good performance. 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, they have held symposiums, tests, and referee classes.

First of all, we have prepared a 'school system' that systematically conducts production from the production process. Last year, first of all, we reviewed good research data on how to produce Thoroughbred and foster it before and after. There were many data on Thoroughbred in foreign countries and Korea, but none of them were Jeju horses. Standards related to Thoroughbred could not be applied to Jeju horses. Therefore, last year, a standard manual for production, fostering, and training, and specification management suitable for Jeju horses were created. Second, a mid- to long-term roadmap was drawn so that it did not end up with making and distributing manuals. Just as the study patterns are determined according to the university entrance examination system, it is important to set conditions and directions for joining the racehorse.

Last year, a competition was held at Daemyung Vivaldi Park in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province to mark the milestone of Korean student horseback riding. It is an international pony competition recognized by the International Federation of Horseback-riding. It was held in Daemyung. It is planning to hold the CSIP competition again this year, but it has not made a final decision due to the Chung Yoo-ra incident. If it is held, this year will be an upgraded version compared to last year. Students selected at the competition will be given the opportunity to observe foreign competitions by utilizing the standing army system. Some associations will provide more opportunities to attend various overseas competitions by assisting them. Rather than concentrating benefits on some players, we will try to give benefits to more children.

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. There are cases where buses are sold out from Jindo, South Jeolla Province, and they are flying from Jeju Island. Regardless of money, there are many areas where they are purely used for exercise and educational purposes, but it is regrettable that the media focuses too much on some of the negative aspects of horseback riding.

I rarely met Park Won-oh, and Park Jae-hong because he is a senior and junior in the horse racing world. After serving as the Korea Federation, I had little contact with him. 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. The student horseback riding association will not take the lead in holding the competition, but will take the lead in each regional association. The student horse riding association will also help the progress of competitions held in different regions. The Korean Horse Racing Authority is currently running a website called "Hosfia," and there will be a way to display the contents that we provide through the website. It is a very expensive project, so wouldn't it be nice to have a video VOD service for the horse racing competition.

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. Most of the student horseback riding association executives work as both a main job, so they are inexperienced in accounting management or meeting progress.

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.

Chairman Choi Byung-wook, who was elected in a by-election held due to the resignation of his former chairman and began to take the helm of the student horse riding, is a former equestrian athlete and has been regarded as the right person to be the head of the student horse riding industry, including former student horse riding association executives, face-to-face association executives, and outside directors of the Korea Horse Association, and has been working to develop student horseback riding based on his field experience while serving as the president of the student horse riding association for the past two years. He met with Choi Byung-wook, president of the student horse riding association, who is also the CEO of iMotors, which sells new cars in Anyang, and interviewed him.

The next step is for some who passed the driving test, and then only for horses that passed 100% of the time. We have prepared a system in which if you pass on the day of employment, you will be sent back to your home as a racehorse. Horses that are trained and trained are horses that have passed the minimum driving test. The level of horses changes when a considerable training system is established. The care of the people who manage them changes as well. If you trained horses that were never trained and trained together during the training of racehorses, you can now focus on training racehorses and competing in the race. The overall level will be very high. From 2018 to 2023, 100% of the horses that passed the driving test will be allowed in. The roadmap was drawn in this way. He was approved and promulgated, and last year, he held a briefing session with managers, assistant teachers, technicians, and riders.

Referring to the recently announced policy on the use of gambling addiction prevalence, the Board of Audit and Inspection also said that awareness of the horse racing industry has improved, but it has not increased the total amount. In this regard, offline activities such as academic research presentations and illegal crackdowns are especially important for expanding the outside world, such as the resumption of online betting. Kim Jong-guk, former head of the process division, has continued research on the gambling industry based on his 30 years of experience since stepping down from the front line at the end of last year. He is currently in the Department of Sports and Cultural Welfare Policy at the IT School of the Seoul National University of Science and Technology, and considers it his calling to contribute to the development of the horse industry through academic research.
