However, there was a time when it was considered a symbol of men because it was mainly used for pulling, riding, or military use. In particular, after the middle of the Joseon Dynasty, an overly closed Confucian culture took hold in Korea, and the distance between women and horses increased. Furthermore, the rumor that "women in the year of the horse are strong" spread during the Japanese colonial era, and it was abused as a means to suppress the passport, and the goal became deeper. On the other hand, in a country where the horse industry has become more common, horses are being raised as if we are raising pets such as dogs and cats. There is no way that there is a distance between horses and women. Australia, famous for its high women's rights, has mostly been friends with horses from a very young age, regardless of whether it is men or women.

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."

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."

When asked why the horse industry is not well promoted to the public today because he was a former executive of the Korea Racing Authority and took the lead in innovating and promoting his image, Professor Cho Jung-ki said, "To succeed in the horse industry, the public and private sectors must cooperate. The government is leading the horse industry as part of its livestock policy, so it may be limited. I hope the government will listen to and listen to the horse industry workers widely." In particular, people who entered the industry informed that they have a goal to make money, and they said that it takes time and effort to improve their awareness. For the horse industry to develop, both the government and officials had to think a lot. Nevertheless, he stressed that "the horse industry will undoubtedly develop.

It cannot be done immediately as if it takes at least five years to fear the curriculum, but the conditions for joining the racehorse in the future will begin by giving signals to production farmers and their opponents how to prepare for it.Last year, a roadmap was drawn from the mid- to long-term race resource management plan to strengthen the competitiveness of Jeju horse racing. Horses that have not been trained or evaluated at all now also enter the racehorse. It takes about 90 days from here to start training and to go to the race. We cannot keep taking this system. Step by step, some of the horses that have finished the start test are allowed in. In the next step, only horses that have passed the 100 percent start test are allowed in.

Professor Cho Jung-ki first introduced Gangneung Youngdong University's horseback riding industry department, which was established in 2015. Gangneung Youngdong University, which is a private and junior college and specialized in medical and tourism, is actively supporting students' start-ups and employment, and is aiming to cultivate the most necessary manpower in the horse industry in a specialized way by combining horseback riding with forest, tourism, and medical care, which are characteristics of Gangwon Province. In May last year, he also introduced an episode in which the government, the Korean Horse Association, the Korea Forest Service, and Gangwon Land signed a business agreement to establish a mountain horse riding culture. Since last year, he said he has explored the area one by one to develop a horse-riding tracking course using the Untan Road,

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.

The visit of the Hiraga Ranch received enthusiastic responses from massage officials, including assistant teachers. Despite the difficult content, Pukyong officials tried to learn by asking a lot of questions to introduce a new teaching method. After doing strong training, they asked a lot of questions, such as how much to rest.If Martha understands the principles of racehorse athletic physiology, it can scientifically understand what changes will happen when training racehorses. Although the introduction of athletic physiology does not immediately improve racehorses, it can provide a scientific basis for why Martha herself is training racehorses. The exercise physiology of racehorses provides a scientific argument for their intuition. During this visit, Hiraga Ranch talked about the importance of hill-based.

Even if it was a bit overwhelming in the beginning, he told me to take the lead. I was very nervous as I seemed to be overtaken with 100 meters to go before the finish line. However, I think I was able to withstand it because I had a strong will to not lose if a horse was next to me. In fact, my condition was not my best today. Lee Chan-ho is the right flag bearer for Changse. He has a habit of leaning inward after the fourth corner, and since Lee Chan-ho is a left-handed rider, he was able to cover his weaknesses well. Changse is still very young at three years old. Whether he will participate in the Jeju Special Provincial Governor's Cup will be decided by considering the horse's condition comprehensively. Since he is still young, I will not overdo it until this year. I will manage Changse more and show good performance in a bigger race.

Although I participated with the goal of winning the championship, I was worried that it would not be an easy race because there were many strong opponents ahead of the competition. I would like to thank all the horse racing players, including Teacher Park Jae-woo, who had a hard time winning the championship under difficult conditions. Teacher Park recommended me to meet 'Changse', and when I went to meet him at the ranch, I was very happy to see 'Changse' lead the way at the front of the group. I extended two fingers at the awards ceremony, and one thumb was raised at the Sports Seoul Cup. Personal greed allows you to spread out all five fingers. Thank you to the horse racing fans who always support 'Changse'.

He also did not spare a word on the direction of the Park Geun Hye government's agricultural policy. "Korean agriculture is in a transition period. Consistent arguments from the Park Geun Hye government are needed to lead to sustainable development," he said, diagnosing the situation in Korean agriculture.Recently, Minister Lee Dong-pil has made efforts to resign from his post with a clear tie. On the 31st, he had a breakfast meeting with the publishers of specialized newspapers, and on the 16th, he wrote his personal impressions on his SNS account. "I made efforts to check and check 'like digging a groove in salty rice' for the role I pledged to do when I took office as the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs of the Republic of Korea. Some of the things I promised at first may have been underachieving, while others may not have started yet.

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.

Minister Lee Dong-pil was appointed in March 2013 and has been serving as the Minister so far. At the meeting, Minister Lee Dong-pil said, "It has been three and a half years. There have been various incidents such as rice tariffication, Korea-China FTA, supply and demand insecurity, and foot-and-mouth disease." "As a researcher and a scholar-turned-minister, I would like to point out that the biggest achievement is the reorganization of basic statistics. We have established an epidemiological investigation system such as foot-and-mouth disease so that we can do what would take a week in about three hours beforehand," he said. "I tried to change the approach and paradigm of Korean agriculture," and added, "While serving as the Minister, we achieved improvement in the constitution of agriculture, and carried out agriculture in consideration of those aged 65 or older.

In the future, Daemyung Group will continue to take the lead in popularizing horseback riding by combining various cultures and horseback riding that the public likes. It is true that the horseback riding industry slowed down for a while due to the Choi Soon-sil scandal. Daemyung Group also feels sorry for the students' view of horseback riding as a means to go to college. However, Daemyung is trying not only to expand its base for horseback riding, but also to keep its original intention of "Mayon-a-horse." It plans to continue developing sports and cultural encounters without being shaken by any drafts.Last year, it was held at the grass ranch and this year it was held at the Sonopelice Equestrian Club. It is true that the Sonopelice Equestrian Club was not able to organize the best environment for horses due to inconvenience such as the practice horse race last year.

We plan to go beyond the best in North Chungcheong Province and become the best horseback riding team in Korea. It is true that local governments such as North Chungcheong Province and Cheongju City have been lacking in support, but we hope that the foundation will give more attention. Now, under the name of Cheongju Youth Horseback Riding Team, we will support them so that they can achieve good results by participating in various competitions and strive for character education. Kwak Han-moo, CEO of Taesan Horseback Riding Town, said, "With the conclusion of the Korea-U.S. FTA, I entered the horseback riding business in 2007, thinking that I had a vision rather than a finishing business. The know-how to operate the horse racing facility stably for 10 years has been my mindset to put importance on principles.

If it doesn't fit, they don't do it, and if it fits, they do it, but I am grateful that they listened to me. I think it is necessary to create a boom in horseback riding by expanding the support for horseback riding across the country, not limited to some regions. There will be an absolutely large number of horseback riding populations in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, but what guarantee is there that only people from Seoul and Gyeonggi Province will ride well? The purpose of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry's horseback riding support project is to expand the base of the horseback riding population and discover excellent horseback riding talents. It is better to choose the first place from 50 million people than to choose the first place from 20 million people.

Not because of this, but because of this, you can confidently say that it is wrong. These words can only be honestly said by one person. A selfless person should be the head of the organization. Only then can we go beyond the development of the horse industry to become an advanced country. It is not only in the horse industry but also in all fields. Efforts to communicate are also needed. Even though they cannot represent the opinions of all the members, limited people are arguing among themselves. When you decide on an issue or have an issue, you should gather representatives of each region and listen to them. Even if the opinion is not adopted, isn't it reasonable to try to listen? The horseback riding support project is for the whole people. It is known that it has been four to five years since the horseback riding support project was established.

The problem was that when the data was finished, they said, "I made this. Please attend," but there was something that the farmers didn't come and didn't know. However, I couldn't let it go. After creating the manual for the first time and thinking about how it could be used in the field, I decided on two policies. First, the staff visits the farm in person to show that there is such a thing, and then makes them attend the entire training. So this year, I am visiting all the farms one by one to report the news of manual production and show the video through CDs. It is not just done at the racetrack or simply to inform them, but it is also visiting and demonstrating farms that are the size of the East and West regions. It is showing the actual training. As a result, a lot of nearby farmers attended.

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.

Of course, there are some instructors who are not basic. I've experienced several such instructors. It taught me for a long time and often disappeared without saying anything when I wanted to use it. As an operator, I had no countermeasures. Still, I endured well without playing tricks. A true wife and son married our son and became a daughter-in-law. Since the family ran the horse-riding course together, the horse-riding business has been more stable since then. Today is not the only day for horseback riding. It is necessary to operate the horse-riding course based on the standard of the rider, thinking that even if we lose money today, tomorrow will be a plus. That's why development is slow. As I said earlier, it is most important to follow the principle and principle. If you talk about it with your own mind, you have no power in the words.

Then, an FTA was concluded with the United States. Now, I thought I could not even do a meat-eating business. I asked my son, who was in the meat-eating business, if he wanted to run a horse-riding business. The son also said he would try to see if he thought the horse-riding business had a vision rather than a meat-eating business. Then, he asked me to get a horse-riding instructor's license. That's how after my son obtained the horse-riding instructor's license, I started the horse-riding business in earnest in 2007. We operate the system thinking about what the horse-riders want, not my standards. It is natural as a business operator to generate profits. However, even though it is a little difficult, it is important to keep the principles. If you take this out and that out because it is difficult now, it is a vicious cycle.

At a special zone meeting held in Jeju in June last year, Jeon Sung-won, head of the win-win marketing division, called for the central government's attention and set a direction with Jeju Special Self-Governing Province to foster Hallama, which will be removed from racehorses, as Korea's representative passenger horse from 2023. Support is needed to establish a system for the production and fostering, training, and distribution of horseback riding. Please pay attention." Kim Jin-gap, who has been in charge of Jeju-Gyeongju resource management at Let's Run Park Jeju since 2014, has also been working hard as a practitioner in charge of developing related policies and manuals, persuading farmers, and taking the lead in education.

All the drums that I put out there are wet because I have nowhere to put them. I'm so upset. Even though I went to so many performances, I never got paid for it. Even though I am risking my life to do this, my salary is cut and I am being criticized even if I give them a performance. My knees are broken and my whole body is ruined, but I am only being used. The reality is that I do not have to risk my life and my family life will be ruined. I am barely holding out without starving to death. The horse industry is also "genuinely innocent." When I see my wife cleaning up my mouth, I have nothing to say as a husband. My students were scattered as I was not able to operate it. When I was trying to protect our culture, did my rulers make me an arrow or clean up my mouth? I want to break the tradition of ignoring people in traditional culture.

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.
