While exploring various ways to tackle the problem, the "Diversification of Use of Retired Horse" project has been launched. Meanwhile, Holstown (CEO Kim Moo-young) is headquartered in Paju, Gyeonggi Province and is preparing to set up an office in Chilgok, North Gyeongsang Province, to specialize in disposing of retired horses and all horses. This reporter interviewed Kim Moo-young, the CEO of Holstown, in Paju, Gyeonggi Province on Oct. 27. The company specializes in disposing of retired horses and abandoned horses, which was selected by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Korea Racing Authority as a "project to support diversification of use of retired horses." It is currently operating a plant in Chilgok. It plans to start operation in earnest next year. It will also push for the establishment of a farming company.

The case goes back further. At the regular general meeting in April, the man raised issue of the name of the association, the registration report on the revision of the articles of incorporation, and even the address of the association he moved to, but suddenly he was elected as an auditor at the recommendation of the association's vice chairman. The man is also the head of the Jeju branch of the Korea Riding and Horse Producers Association (Chairman Lee Young-yoon) and manages one stallion at the Jeju Riding and Producers Association (Chairman Park Geun-hong). After becoming an auditor of the association, he pointed out additional issues such as Hanram Stud Farm and subsidies through the board of directors. Although he has no voting rights, he has a powerful right to speak and hold the board of directors and general meetings. Mr. A, who accepted the position of auditor by pledging to serve faithfully, said in his personal opinion that the association with billion-dollar businesses ran a deficit.

However, for now, I am not sure what I can do and how I can help. For trainers, I believe they need to acquire advanced training skills in the future. Instead of sticking to the old skills learned from their seniors, I believe that new technologies must be learned by inviting instructors from horse society or trainer associations to become an advanced horse country that is second to none in the world. It has been several years since the law was announced, but there seems to be not much that can be done because the law has not been completed. I believe that the development of the horse industry will accelerate only when the unfinished law is completed as soon as possible rather than left as it is. The Korean Horse Association is a public enterprise, and I think privatization should be done.

Currently, the association is operating under the emergency committee (Chairman Ko Sang-yoon). To summarize the whole story, it is as follows. Chairman Kim Sang-pil officially expressed his resignation, saying that he will submit his resignation to the board of directors after holding a regular board meeting on May 18. It is because of his statement that the sample of the basic registration card made with all his heart and soul mimics that of the Jeju horse registration card. When I came home after the board meeting, I thought to myself. I felt a sense of human humiliation. I couldn't sleep. Are the Hanramas association with a history so ignorant, or are the leaders and faculty members who struggled to make the registration certificate so ignorant? I wondered what they were working for. For the association members, I visited the Chinese market, held exchange meetings, and worked hard to brand Hanramas, and spent my own money…. Looking at this incident, I felt like I was stupid and stupid myself."

Since we met each other, I have met horses. One of my high school classmates, a friend whose wife's family runs a racehorse production ranch on Jeju Island, told me that they were recruiting horses at Let's Run Park Pukyong one day. The friend said, "You are qualified, so apply for it," so we met each other without knowing what it is. That's how the relationship began, and in February this year, I majored in horse genetics in graduate school and earned my master's degree. I run a Jemagi Technology Institute in Changwon, and I am building a tentatively named Marand racehorse recreation facility, a horse riding course, and a tourist farm in Ibanseong-myeon, Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-do, with the goal of completing it next spring. Horses should be my everything. I've been ripped off a lot for leaving the existing business to my wife

Under the current Korean horse racing system, the two horses have little to do with each other. The two horses cannot be trained at the same time. Now, the two horses are being trained by the assistant or the trainer, but I believe that the two horses should be trained at their ranch or training center in the future, just like in foreign countries.Additionally, I believe that the master must understand the characteristics of his horse so that he can choose the right assistant and trainer. For instance, consider entrusting the assistant teacher, who prefers good deeds and precocious horses, with Mansukhyeong and bottom-drawing horses. Even a famous horse will be treated as a foul horse. The difference in status between the master and the trainer is, in short, the difference between A and B, since the master must entrust the trainer with the training of the horse.

From the beginning of the opening of Let's Run Park in Busan and South Gyeongsang Province, I started working as a horse-related person and formed a connection with horses. I knew that the horse-related qualification system would be implemented by the Horse Industry Promotion Act, so I tried from the first inning, but I failed each time. Actually, I was going to give up the test this time. At the end, I was embarrassed that I failed every time, and the horse racing officials asked me why I was taking the trainer test. They said that even though it was a written test, it was never allowed in practical practice. However, Teacher Kwon Seung-joo, who studied with me, asked me why I should give up when I was eligible for the second practical test this time, so I applied for it on the last day of application and took the test.

It was surprising because he responded logically immediately to any external policy or incident that threatened the association. No one can easily bear the weight of "silence." It was not even his family who broke the silence… He was the "man next door." He asked his family to let go of their family, thinking, "They are a bean powder family, they are not disciplined well. How can a family be like that?" His family was also shocked. Some of his children joined him because they didn't like his frustrated father, and even his father's grandfather said he couldn't crack down on his children properly, and he gave us his "father's room" where he left his house, asking us to scold him. They are the breadwinners of the family, but they are not doing their job well, and they treat their father as others, and they talk about him. They worked so hard to build their own house, which they started from scratch, and now they are busy evicting their father and taking over their own home.

It helps a lot emotionally, too. I want people to heal with horses and gain consideration for life and a lot of enlightenment in the activities with horses. To do that, I want to strive for the welfare of horses. I want to study more fields, experience and experience more in practice, and continue to develop myself, rather than being stopped. I want to become a leader who has a consistent good influence in the horse industry. To this end, I am preparing to transfer to Jeju National University's physical education field. I am also thinking of going to graduate school. I want to work in teaching and research. Just as I am familiar with the use and precautions of a product when I buy a product, I hope that the days will come when Koreans will be familiar with the habits and behaviors of horses and approach them more friendly and safe.

As soon as he took the reins, he was surprised at what he was surprised by and was taken to a hospital after being hit in the abdomen by the horse's back foot while holding the lead strap. The diagnosis revealed that his pancreas was damaged. Fortunately, he did not need surgery. Instead, he underwent medication for a month and was hospitalized. After the accident, people around him reportedly felt puzzled to see me ask how the horse was doing. After the incident, he became more concerned about his safety. He looks back on dangerous behaviors he unconsciously performed, and emphasizes the importance of safety to his juniors every time. At that time, the horseriding rink covered all expenses incurred at the hospital. I would like to express my gratitude to the chairman, representative,

Lastly, I am proud of the excellent lecture by Professor Dong-hoon Lee, who has been a solid theory in the course of daily sports leaders. Our school has warm blood necessary for preparing for certification practice, an indoor racetrack where you can prepare without a hitch, and rehabilitation horse riding where you can exercise at any time. Students experience and conduct the positions of volunteers, leaders, and leaders in rehabilitation horseback riding, while also teaching assistant instructors for general experience horse riding. Another pride is the environment in which you can sharpen your practical skills and prepare for certification before going out to society. This happened when I went to the horse riding course during the summer vacation of the first year. There was a case where I was seriously injured due to my carelessness.

First, Professor Park Geum-ran, dean of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is engaged in various activities related to rehabilitation riding. While serving as an academic director at the Korean Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Association, he will give lectures on creative theories and practical skills necessary for classes through overseas training related to rehabilitation horseback riding. Professor Choo Ho-geun is currently serving as a judge in the horseback riding world. He is still playing as a player. He teaches us the general elements related to horseback riding in class and allows us to experience it. Above all, he is a warm mentor. Professor Seung-joo Kwon is currently an assistant teacher at Let's Run Park Pukyong, and he gives us new news and information through lectures, so he gives us the lectures we want to continue listening to even after graduation.

Now that I am about to graduate, I feel a little awkward that I do not have a tight schedule and plan like I did when I was in school. I think I need constant self-development and study in the future. If I had special know-how in preparing for qualifications, I prepared to become familiar with the test and test site by preparing for writing and practical skills for all certificates related to horses. In addition, I went to the training center recommended by the professors every vacation and thought that I was the owner of the horse riding center by increasing my practical experience. It seems that I had more fun and memorable learning because I studied horse-related laws and horse health management. Above all, I would like to thank Professor Chu Ho-geun for his experience, Professor Geum-ran Park, Jeong-soo Ryu, and Seung-joo Kwon for their professional theories and experiences.

Before graduating from high school, I decided to get a job and attended an editorial design course for six months. After graduating from high school, I worked as an advertising company and freelancer for nearly two years in Seoul and Jeju Island. I wanted to know about horses that I first encountered in Jeju. So, I recklessly joined the racehorse production team at Sung Isidol Ranch and worked for about two months. Working at Jeju Airport, where working conditions were good, whenever I was off, I went to the horse rink to help me work and rode a horse to ride a rehabilitation horse, and I thought I wanted to study horses and rehabilitation horses properly. With the introduction of the horse-riding instructor I knew at the time, I met Professor Kwon Seung-joo. During the interview,

If there is a legal problem while serving as the president of the association, I will be willing to take legal punishment. However, I wanted to protect the incredible idea of appointing a member of the Jeju Horse Producers Association as an auditor and going together with him with the identity of the association. Even if we ignore the history of the association, which fought for unfairness of Jeju horses for decades, the identity and pride of the hobhoe are at stake now that sensitive issues such as the issue of allowing basic registration and the horse race are still left. It has long been decided that it is not desirable for me to think about another term, which I always think is a volunteer job as the head of the association. I sincerely appeal to you to stop all disputes and unite for the development of the Hallama and Jeju horse industry. Once again, I sincerely apologize."

The reason I asked for an interview with the Horseback Industry Journal is that it is a media company that understands the situation in the horseback riding industry more than other media companies. I don't think I will do any more interviews at the athletes' council. The perception that horse riding is an aristocratic sport has declined a lot, but it is a pity that horse riding is considered bad and sold due to the Choi Soon-sil incident. Not only horseback riding but also all sports and the sports industry itself are on the back foot. It is hoped that not only young athletes who ride horses but also many others will have more opportunities to experience horseback riding. Woo Jung-ho, president of the National Federation of Horseback Riding Athletes, asked for an interview with the newspaper, pointing out that support is needed for athletes' protection and training,

Whatever the group, Samsung and Hanwha, paid 1.5 billion won, 1.6 billion won a year, applied for the association, or did, it helped the players. Horseback riding is an event without government support, so you can't compete without a company sponsoring it, and it's hard to participate in the Olympics.Until now, the chairman's office has been handled by the Korea Racing Authority, Hanwha, and Samsung. Because the company continued to support the money there, the association was able to run and host matches. You might say that 1.5 billion won is small, but if you pay for it every year, the company should be considerable. Although the Korea Racing Authority is said to be a company related to horses, the company's former chairman liked horseback riding, and applied. It would not be easy for Samsung and Hanwha to take over the chairman's office of the Horse Racing Authority in another company that has nothing to do with horses. We are athletes.

Most athletes start exercising with the ambition of winning medals in the Olympics and Asian Games. I don't think I'll just go to college while riding. Students who go to college and compete in the next Asian Games will participate in school classes and exercise with the dream of trying out for the next Asian Games. In preparation for the Olympics, he applied from various fields, starting with the off-season training. Because Samsung spent money and provided support for the development of horseback riding, we were able to participate in the Olympics and Asian Games and win a medal. After the Olympics, we can go out and guide other athletes and deliver their know-how, which is huge. All horseback riders know that Samsung has developed a lot in horseback riding. No matter how much sports you wear only panties and hold shoes, development is difficult without sponsors.

How good is it for us to ask the equestrian for an apology from the president? And I fully understand the news conference about the fact that they suffered damage due to Choi Soon-sil. Isn't it unfair from their point of view that executive director Park Won-oh came down and said something while the referee was watching? I hope that one person, Jeong Yu-ra, will not harm Amon's special athletes. Most of the students exercise since they were young and still take time out of school. All special athletes don't do it like Jeong Yu-ra. I have a friend who goes to college among the students I teach now. I go to Hanyang University, but I can't come today. Tomorrow, he takes classes, and he comes to exercise after 3 p.m. He takes classes, and he comes to exercise even if it's late in the afternoon. Most of them are like that. Few athletes quit school.

I am deeply sorry. I have done my best in my capacity as president over the past six years, but I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. I have always considered the position of president of the association as power, and I am showing signs of internal division due to public speculation as if I would be the next president. For me, the position of president of the association is not power, nothing more than a volunteer position. Obviously, I do not understand this misunderstanding occurring despite the fact that the official board of directors has stated that a second term cannot be achieved at the General Assembly. Six years ago, I did my best to raise the status of the poor and poor association. The series of upheaval at the association is by no means desirable for the development of the Jeju horse industry and for the sake of Hallama.

This is the part that demanded the resignation of Samsung, the current chairman of the Horse Racing Association. The players are grateful for the fact that a large company called Samsung supports them as the chairman of the Horse Racing Association. Horse racing is an unpopular sport, but it has invested in and contributed to the development of Korean horse racing. If Samsung steps down from its chairman's position right now, how will the horse racing association operate right away and how will next year's competition be held? It is nonsense to just demand Samsung's resignation without any countermeasure. He did not think about our horse-riding athletes and horse-riding people. What they said at the press conference was not all of us horse-riding people, but as victims. They are not integrating the opinions of all horse-riding people.

Currently, the Magutgan Horseback Riding Club in Yangju City has moved to the Hwajeong area in Goyang City and will start anew. It is the only private horseback riding facility in Goyang City as a farming and fishing village. As an experience-specialized horse race, we are preparing a program to experience horseback riding in Goguryeo and to experience the history of horseback riding culture centered on students and groups. Understanding horses, comparing horses from East and West, horses from history, horses from our ancestors, and characteristics and functions of military horses will be explained, and people will be able to understand and experience habits of horses. In fact, you can ride a horse and play horse-riding and throw spears on the ground. We are preparing to help you understand culture beyond just riding horses.

They can use the harama, select the horse-related school students as special soldiers, and utilize their special skills. They only need to prepare a training site for transportation and control by utilizing the horse-riding grounds or Wondang Ranch in the Seoul metropolitan area. It will be the most important project to publicize the Korean horse industry to the outside world. I once invited ambassadors from 50 countries to the Magugan Horseback Club, and they all said that they were sick of Korea's "static" culture, such as fan dance and samulnori. They beat North Korea and pulled out what was in their hearts by saying they wanted to see a dynamic culture. They liked the sound of drums, which reminds them of hearts and hooves. They also dream of a "horse-riding culture village" to make good content and preserve horse-riding culture. It is a place to teach horses to popular artists who participate in historical dramas and raise the level of completion of their works to gain cultural competitiveness.

Horses were a new opportunity for her. It has been more than 20 years since she started living on behalf of her husband. Now, she is a representative of boiling and distributing the largest number of heads in the province. Now that she is intensively breeding more than 200 Hanramas, she is now running a stable management. She is producing, fostering, distributing, and selling horses herself, and developing soaps and extract as by-products. The company plans to open a white horse garden again and even establish a restaurant that combines distribution. It is a representative "sixth industry person" in the horse industry. Although she is a woman, she has lived in the rough horse industry for 20 years, so she knows everything. She even explains her age, breed and quality of meat just by looking at the appearance of horses that eat feed on feed.
