Korean horseback riding has dominated gold medals in the dressage team and individual events since the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok, but was unable to prepare properly due to the situation in the domestic horse racing world, which was confused by a series of events. Nevertheless, Kim Hyuk's performance enabled him to win a silver medal in the dressage team and a bronze medal in the individual event, maintaining his status as a Korean horse riding in Asia. Kim Hyuk is more expected to be tomorrow than today, and is considered a new rising star in dressage to succeed Kim Dong-sun and Hwang Young-sik. In particular, this year, the year of the golden pig, the 1995 pig, is expected to have more active activities and results. These days, during the off-season, he is working hard on individual training at Hwaseong Horse Racing Center.

Director Lee Jin-woo's presentation at the 'Korean Horse Policy Debate' held at the National Assembly on February 21 last year. Another special prize winner, trainer Seo Chang-soo, played a role in establishing and laying the foundation for the training system for domestic racehorses. The trainer is an expert in training, which is in the early stages of joining the racetrack, and plays a role in taming racehorses that are not familiar with human hands yet, and building the framework as a racehorse. As an early founding member of the racehorse trainers, which emerged in 2007 when the policy on training and systematization of "racehorse trainers" in Korea was established in earnest, it has contributed to the normalization of the racehorse training system.

Both of them have shown strong commitment for decades in their respective fields to achieve today's achievements. Lee Jin-woo, the head of overseas breeding development at the Korea Racing Authority, has been conducting research and development on breeding improvement for more than 20 years since joining the Korean Racing Authority in 1996, creating "Nixgo," which has promoted Korean racing around the world. Lee Jin-woo, the head of the Korean Racing Authority's own technology called "Kaynix," which evaluates racing horses in advance through genetic analysis and statistical data, continued the project with a firm stance. Rather than focusing on immediate achievements, Lee's eye, which has been preparing step by step for the long-term development of the domestic horse industry,

In 2014, he contributed greatly to attracting Seorabeol University from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs as an institution to train professionals in the horse industry, and has devoted himself to research activities for the development of the horse industry. In addition, he participated in the design of national certificates for rehabilitation horseback riding and writing textbooks, and made efforts to lay the foundation for rehabilitation horseback riding in Korea. In addition, as an executive of the Korea Rehabilitation Horse Association, he attended the 2015 World Rehabilitation Horse Association General Assembly as the representative of Korea and conducted promotional activities to attract the "2021 World Rehabilitation Horse Association" to Korea.

They have been riding horses for decades and have a wide range of overseas experiences and connections, so they will be able to come up with good ideas. It can be a good idea bank in a situation where there are still insufficient horse experts in Korea. Although the history of the domestic horse industry is short, Korea will be the only country that has grown so quickly by raising the horse industry policy at the government level. It seems that the young horse competitions implemented by the horse society are doing well. The government should hold horse riding competitions, etc. so that the private sector can voluntarily produce young horses, and the private sector should judge and produce them. It would have been better if the focus had been on this place earlier, but it is fortunate that it has started now.

I didn't recognize him at the time because of his recommendation, but I thought of it later and entered the race at a late age. I think I met the era of Powerblade. Every year in the race, there were one or two horses that were of similar level to each other. And in the second half or the "Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs", the horses suddenly got strong and good horses appeared. Last year, when the "Powerblade" ran, there was no clear opponent. There was a group called "Tuk-tuk-tuk," which is a horse for sprinting. The best key is when it comes to the "KRA Cup Mile." There was a difference of whether or not he could win. At that time, his horse was in very bad condition. He won the championship even when he was in bad condition. This horse is a really capable horse.

You should clearly decide what purpose you will bring in the horse. In particular, this is the case with horseback riding. Horse production also needs to be kept cool. Thoroughbred can be considered marketable because it is raised and used as a racehorse, but it is different for horseback riding. Even in foreign countries, the price of a racehorse colt, which is moneyable, does not reach the hundreds of millions. It is usually in the thousands.In this regard, you have to be particularly careful when sharing foreign cases or information in so-called expert groups. If you say it wrong prematurely, there may be mistakes in policy and it could lead to the failure of the horse production market. I think it would be good to actively utilize those who are considered masters of horse riding among the group of horse experts.

It may be a funnier process than a special occasion. I graduated from high school when I was 20 years old and worked part-time at a PC room while attending university. At that time, the owner of the PC room said, "Your physique is perfect for jockey." But I didn't know the job of jockey. Growing up in Hampyeong, Jeollanam-do, I didn't even know there was horse racing. I didn't fit my college aptitude, and when I turned 23 when I had to work, I thought I should work. But I wasn't confident. Due to his small physique and lack of learning, I suddenly remembered what the boss said when I was working part-time at an internet cafe. I started to look for a job as a jockey on the Internet. I accidentally found out the homepage of the Jockey Association. It was around November 2003, but the recruitment was made in a hurry to prepare for the recruitment.

Horses are born and used for horse racing, and even used after retirement. The most enviable thing is the deduction system for farmers. As far as I know, Korea started focusing on cattle last year. If the deduction system is expanded in the horse field, wouldn't it be of great help to horse producers? It's small, but it's also breeding in schools, so I'm interested. The more I study, the more interesting it is and I keep looking for it. Horse production and breeding have not been well studied in Korea, but many have been studied in Europe, a propaganda country for the horse industry. Production and breeding attempts for sports horses and ponies, which we already know, have been made by production organizations since 50 to 100 years ago. The answer to what horses should be produced and improved in Korea's reality is already out.

During his tenure as the head of the Rural Development Administration, he promoted projects such as smart farm technology development, establishment of the sixth industrialization of agriculture, expansion of exports, and mechanization of field agriculture, and emphasized, "It is an achievement that could not have been achieved without understanding the difficulties of the field." Therefore, he said, "If you don't have customers, there are no companies, so you have to always look at everything with sincerity from the customer's point of view." He also introduced his experience working in the planning department, such as the planning and budget officer, the agricultural policy director, and the head of the planning department, which began in 1983, and disclosed an episode in which he set comprehensive measures for the development of farming and fishing villages between 1989 and 90 years.

Employment places are 3-4 people a year in Japanese horse society, 2-3 people at Japanese livestock cooperatives, and 1 private practitioner. Since Japan has a long history of the horse industry, the horse veterinary field has existed since the past. As there are new veterinarians who are retiring, there is a balance, but in Korea, interest in the horse veterinary field has only increased recently, and the short history of the horse industry makes it difficult to circulate. However, Korea has a very similar horse industry structure to Japan, so I personally think that if it continues to develop, it will be similar to the Japanese horse industry. On the other hand, things that have been done wrong in Japan need to be further developed as a teacher.

Since it is an animal hospital run by a university, it must carry out duties such as hospital treatment, education, and research. In particular, the goal is to ensure that even general veterinarians in the educational field can have some knowledge and competence about horses. It is not just to produce horse veterinarians when there is not yet sufficient demand for the horse veterinarian field.It may be a problem that veterinary colleges are currently facing, but education on large or industrial animals is not good. This is due to the perception that students are not interested and that money is not available right now. It is true that it is a trend of the times, but within the current veterinary license system, regardless of whether it is large or small animals, it is necessary to know how to do little.

However, as a result, they were often defeated by Article 19 horses. So they were misunderstood. I told my assistant teacher Kim Young-kwan that I would win. I said I was confident about winning, but when I ran in the race, I often lost. As such, Article 19 horses were firm and strong. They were bad because of those things, but the worst thing happened when the "Freddie Formoroy" scandal broke out. At the time, he performed well on the "Freddie Formoroy" and won the race, so he was confident. All the horses in Article 19 were familiar with their habits. I knew well that even horses in Article 19 would fight against each other because I had a preoccupation with "Otuk Otuk Otuk" and a "main stay" that preoccupies and draws first.

Not only us, but the number of students interested in horses has decreased. From 2014 to 2016, there were many students interested in horses, but it has decreased sharply since 2017. When I first came to Jeju National University, I was very interested in the field of horse veterinarian. I went to the graduate school of our school from another school because I wanted to learn about horses, and undergraduate students from other universities frequently asked for training. It was clearly different from the current situation. At that time, anyone could see that the horse industry was growing and it was fun, so they wanted to enter this field. Another reason is that it was difficult to establish themselves in the field of horse veterinarian. I think the veterinarian who studied for one or two years is not trying to come this way because it is difficult for them to get a seat.

After debuting in 2005, the wins gradually began to increase year by year until 2012. After two years since his debut, he joined the military after completing his probationary career. He won 45 games as a trainee and served in the military for two years. He returned in 2009 and rode for five months. In 2009, he did not ride much, but in 2010, his performance was good. He moved to a different affiliation and his performance has been improving since 2010, but he was involved in a bad horse racing incident. When he returned home after a year off, he thought that people might not be aware of his past sins, so he worked harder. I thought that I would have to have different skills to ride more horses. So, I started to create my own skills with the whip. I changed my whip. I made a whirlwind whip that was very strong and impressive.

There are not many medical treatments yet, so I remember all of them. It is also impressive that the children who saw the treatment by chance were all different cases. Most of all, the most memorable treatment case was the horse that visited the hospital for the first time. It wasn't long after the opening of the hospital, and he came to our hospital, and he hurt his eyes a lot. I went to another general animal hospital and was diagnosed with a possibility of going blind, but he was a colt less than a year old. According to Korea's horse racing regulations, if one eye becomes blind, he will not be able to debut as a racehorse, and the two of them showed a strong will to do something about it and started treatment. It was about him earlier, but the veterinary hospital's medical staff suffered a lot. I had to put eye drops six times a day for sore eyes, but I did it every three to four hours a day.

When asked about the reason for communication through social media, he stressed that if "communication is what must be accompanied by field-oriented management," he said, "It is important to listen to communication well, but it is also important to inform it properly." He also said, "We will try not to miss the sound of customers and to listen to their difficulties and opinions and reflect them in our work."Finally, he said, "Although horse riding and horseback riding are somewhat negative, riding horses is actually suitable for keeping the body and mind healthy," and added, "I promise that the Korean Horse Association will do its best to develop the horse-related field."

Chairman Kim Nak-soon visited the auction house today and told you once more, but a way out is to be found only when new measures are taken, whether horse racing organizations, producers, and horse owners gather to form a TF. I would like to say that I hope that production will be left to the producers, and the people who face each other will remain strong supporters of Korean horse racing in the seats they face to face. What other meaning would be for our producers to do this? It's not a very large amount of money to be made, and I just want to produce good racehorses based on the know-how I have accumulated for 30 years. Our industry is struggling to revive in recent years. The neighbors can live without any problems in their business even if they don't raise horses. However, if we don't raise horses, we die. That's our desperation.

From the producer's point of view, I feel that the current horse racing system is tightening production. There is a clear reason why the Korean Horse Association is a public institution under the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. The essence of horse racing is production, but rather than focusing on production, attention seems to be focused on other places. As I tried to fit it in part 2, I don't think about production. It seems that 'Producers, you follow me. We will raise the level of horse racing even if we beg each other.' Rather than gradually improving qualitatively based on production, it seems that they take a few good horses from a foreign country and produce them, and if they perform well in an overseas race, they are promoting and packaging them. I sincerely ask that you focus on production.

Regardless of whether it is Seoul or Busan, they are discharged after running in Gyeongju, so they leave the retired racehorse to the production farm and take back the second-generation horse produced through the horse. A consignment production cost of about 700,000 to 800,000 won is usually paid every month, but the producer has no choice but to suffer from immediate financial gains. And if a horse that was born and sold on your farm runs well, would you sell the horse back to the owner when you are discharged? Many people immediately answer, 'Please foster care'. Seam horses that have played well in the 1st and 2nd Army races should be circulated to the farmhouse, but they are not. The encounters are entering production far beyond consumers. Buyers come to see the colt, and they should see other colts, but they only see biased consignment-produced colts. Naturally, auctions are bound to be of interest.

test008

Many horses have already been secured through consignment production or borrowed-name production. From the perspective of the opposite side, they do not have to participate in the auction. This is because the demand has been satisfied. The association currently says that consignment production is excessive. Indirectly estimated by members, 500~600 heads appear to be produced in the form of consignment or borrowed names. The size of the domestic racehorse market is up to 1,100 heads, and if production horses take away 150~200 heads first, the only market left is about 300~400 heads including individual transactions. Can you operate it with a 300~400 head racehorse market? Consignment production was like tenant farming in the old days.

The reason why the Korean horse industry, which was not born for a long time, was able to grow rapidly to KRW 3.4226 trillion was because of the help of the media such as the Horse Industry Journal, in addition to the government and the Korean Horse Association.The Korea Horse Association, the only institution dedicated to fostering the horse industry in Korea, will also do its best to develop the horse industry. We will successfully promote related projects such as the payment of the livestock development fund, the realization of the social value of the horse industry, the creation of quality jobs, the promotion of demand for domestic horseback riding, and the expansion of infrastructure. Therefore, in the end, we hope that the horse industry will be able to contribute to the development of the national economy beyond the livestock industry.

Chairman Lee Yang-ho said, "Although the inauguration of the chairman is a great honor, the public's thoughts and image of the Korean Horse Association are not bright despite various efforts," adding, "I think we should make the Korean Horse Association a company loved by the people."In response to a question on how to reflect 30 years of public service life and experience working for agriculture promotion in management principles, he announced the principle of "promoting work centered on high schools, prefectures, and governments" during his tenure as the head of the Agricultural Development Administration. It also means that it is important to listen to customers and the field's opinions and solve their difficulties and make them policy by promoting customer-oriented and field-oriented work.

As Korea's first horse industry magazine, we sincerely congratulate the 6th anniversary of the founding of the Horse Industry Journal, which has played a key role in the development of the horse industry. The horse industry is a high value-added 6th project that can be expanded in various forms, including primary industry production and breeding, secondary industry feed, dressage equipment, facility manufacturing, tertiary industry horse riding, horse racing, tourism, education, and rehabilitation. This is why advanced countries such as the United States, France, and Japan are eager to foster the industry. According to a report published by the United States, the economic effects of the horse industry through horse racing, shows, and recreation are more than $100 billion, including direct and indirect effects.
