Despite the severe sluggish sales and internal problems in Let's Run Park Busan and Gyeongnam, I would like to deeply thank everyone who participated in the inland domestic horse auction held on May 29th, as the worst situation seems to have been avoided due to the generous interest of the assistant teachers and staff. Producers are very motivated and have high expectations for the new head of the Korean Horse Association's willingness to focus on fostering the horse industry. Just as there is light and darkness in all societies, there are many farmers who have jumped into bankruptcy or closed their businesses in the 30-year history of domestic horse production.

In the horse auction market of more than 20 years, the biggest crisis for racehorse production farmers has recently been faced with a big drop in the winning bid rate and the winning average price, so we hope that a solid breakthrough will be made through the improvement of the horse racing system and the establishment of long-term policies suitable for Korean horse racing. Each related organization, including the race implementer, may have its own difficulties, but I hope that it will be reborn as a healthy and exciting development of the Korean horse racing industry through the discovery of the policy of blessing in disguise. Teacher Jeong Ho-ik obtained a master's degree in the Department of Horse Industry at Jeju International University in July with a thesis titled "The Effect of Eating Red Ginseng Ingredient Feed on the Improvement of Race Capability."

Thank you for your efforts in developing the horse industry, such as horse racing and horseback riding, and for contributing greatly to the recognition that the horse industry is not a gambling industry, but a horse racing culture and the birthplace of the livestock industry. Korea's history of horse racing is almost 100 years away, but as seen in foreign cases, the horse industry still has a lot of homework for further development because it is not an industry that takes place overnight. Furthermore, the production history of thoroughbreds in Korea has been less than 30 years, so it faces many challenges, including infrastructure policies, system improvements, and racehorses. Although it is developing with ceaseless efforts, frequent policy changes can cause great confusion in production, so long-term horse racing policies based on the production industry are urgently required.

It was not only the honor of racing media but also the joy of all those involved in the horse industry to be selected as news search partners by Naver and Daum Kakao in 2017. I hope that they will discover more novel and new news and serve as a lighthouse for the horse industry. These days, Naver and Daum Kakao are also flooded with countless articles and promotional materials. For this reason, content that is not authentic and novel is often neglected by customers. It is filled with more stimulating content to hold customers' eyes. These things may attract attention for a moment, but they tend to become less persistent.

There are also hopeful elements of multilateral business and the global advancement of Korean horse racing, but regulations and negative perceptions of horse racing darken the future of Korean horse racing. In order for our horse racing to be competitive and grow to be on par with advanced countries in foreign countries, it is necessary to continue investing in horse racing, and unreasonable system and infrastructure improvement must be carried out in parallel. And the implementation of all the plans should be carried out through sufficient consultation with horse racing organizations. The connection between Choi Soon-sil, Jeong Yu-ra and horseback riding remains in the public consciousness as vague negative perceptions of the horse industry despite many efforts on the ground. Various efforts and practices are needed to overcome that perception at a time like this.

This is also in line with our Internet newspapers' efforts to deliver the world's news quickly. With the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution, a wide range of keywords such as artificial intelligence and big data are emerging, and new values are expected to be created and developed. The horse industry has been a field of very high importance for data since the past. New information and communication technologies and data will be combined to form an axis of the intelligent information society, and I have no doubt that the Horse Industry Journal will be at the center of its role. Currently, Korean horse racing is at the crossroads of many crises and challenges due to sharp drops in sales, customer churn, and discriminatory perceptions of society that do not improve easily.

There is an urgent need to introduce a subsidy system equivalent to the compensation for the closure of racehorse production farms, which are equivalent to the compensation for the closure of the FTA, so that farmers who are facing limited conditions can find a new way to sustain their livelihoods. This system is considered necessary not only for the farmers who are producing racehorses but also for the farmers who are suffering from severe management crisis. The government and the Korean Horse Association are urged to take extraordinary interest and come up with policies to ensure the sustainable growth of horse production farms. Horses have existed with humans. They were used as a means of transportation, carrying human cargo, and for combat purposes. In the late Joseon Dynasty, they also served as information and communications services for Pavalma, which delivered urgent official documents or news to remote areas from government offices.

Something is going well this year, which has been five years since its debut in 2012. At first, I didn't know much about horses, so I only listened to people's stories and bought horses, but there were many failures. I studied a lot in my own way for two or three years using such failures. First of all, I studied the ancestry of horses, which is the most important, and changed the way I chose horses. I searched for knowledge of what kind of ancestry there are on domestic ranches and consulted at least two or three assistant teachers to refer to horses for purchase. In the past, there were many cases of purchasing horses only after hearing the opinions of one assistant teacher, but I think the result was good because I purchased horses

It would be a great thing if the chairman could use his capabilities to find a good sponsor, but I wonder if it will be difficult right now in reality. First of all, the biggest concern is how to come up with the budget for next year. The reason the participation fee for last year's competition was raised from 20,000 won to 50,000 won, which allowed us to maintain the prize money by adding it to excellent players and horses as we do not have sponsors, but if things continue like this, the participation fee will have to be used as the association's operating expenses. And the association has not informed the players anything.

Many athletes must be produced and development must be made, but there are no new athletes after the Choi Soon-sil incident. For professional athletes, it is a matter of livelihood. And it is even more frustrating and scary because no one knows how long this aftermath will last. It is necessary to create conditions for excellent talents to ride horses. For this, active efforts at the level of the Korea Horse Racing Association are needed. Specifically, there may be efforts to create a horse riding department at a new university, to restart the Sangmu Sports Unit.The most important thing is to create a lot of good horseback riding competitions. Attracting competitions with high prize money will help outstanding athletes achieve better results, and the number of students who naturally try to ride horses increases.

In general, horses that run high and fast at obstacles are good horses. In dressage, horses that have large movements and move as if they are dancing are good horses. An athlete is a good rider who rests well on a horse without much fluctuation. There is no need to think of horseback riding as difficult. It is said that celebrities must have talent. Equestrian athletes must also have talent. Koreans are certainly talented people. If you have an opportunity to ride horses or learn, I recommend you do your best. In various areas, Korea is recognized for its ability. In some areas, it is possible to climb the world's top. I hope the juniors will think that we can do it rather than thinking that we can't.

When he started to get scared, he couldn't even drag him around. But he was gentle compared to an ordinary Holsteiner. That was only for people. He was very aggressive towards other horses, especially Sumal. He even threw his front paws up when he ran into him while passing by. He was very nice to people, but he was very rough with horses. Lilibro' was my second horse, which I rode at the same time as 'Seed Chaps'. 'Libro' was definitely a horse with great ability, but it had a slightly lazy side. That's why he tended to cross obstacles well. Personally, it means a lot to me. It was a horse that contributed greatly to earning mileage by participating in various European competitions.

First of all, getting a ticket to the Olympics was difficult, but the process of getting a ticket to the Olympics was also difficult. This is because we had to perform well at a number of Grand Prix events rather than performing well in one or two events. Perhaps this is why the athletes training together for the Olympics at the time wondered if advancing to the Olympics could become a reality. The coaches, coaches, and sponsors must have felt the same way at the time. The wall of the world was too high, and Korean horseback riding was far behind him. Going to the Olympics was originally a dream because horseback riding was not only in good condition, but also the horses had to be in good condition.

The champion was not able to run in the last race, but he is a horse that consistently plays well in the first division, and I have high expectations. Among the second-generation horses, "Younghee Era" and "Durebak in Gyeongju" are drawing attention. The "Younghee Era" is a horse that can run well with two wins out of three, and the "Durebak in Gyeongju" is constantly improving, so the future is promising. There is a possibility that "Wishimiruk" will also play in the first division now with two consecutive wins in the second division. Party Again and "Invincible Wonderful" are horses that are well enough to be in the first division even though they are three years old this year.

Recently, the composition of people visiting the horse racing park has diversified to include not only horse racing fans who enjoy horse racing, but also family customers accompanied by young children, and young people who come to play with lovers or friends. I think it is currently a process of transforming into a healthy leisure sport. In order to bring about a bigger change in this process, it is also possible to use horses so that the general public can see and enjoy horse racing rather than focusing on horse racing. The general public should be able to come and go naturally without hesitation. Thomas's family in Ireland is a horse racing family. His grandfather and father were assistant teachers,

In addition, his performance, which is currently ranked at the top of the assistant teacher's ranking at Let's Run Park Pukyong, proves that he is already familiar with Korean horse racing. Now, he is a member who is making a new history of Korean horse racing beyond just a foreign assistant teacher, and he seemed to have affection for Korean horse racing. From the perspective of Thomas, a foreign assistant teacher, I check the current address of Korean horse racing. There is a foreign acquaintance among the racehorse producers in Jeju, so I visited Korea with their introduction. They said that Korean horse racing is currently developing a lot and the future prospects are bright. So I visited Korea for an interview, and when I came in person, I liked everything about the facilities and conditions.

As you know, I believe that the working environment of the horse industry will also improve because the current administration is making efforts to reduce non-regular workers and is striving to improve the working environment in various occupations. The industry will develop only when people engaged in the horse industry receive fair treatment through fair recruitment. Otherwise, the industry will naturally shrink. I think it is a school that can expand globally, a living school, a school with dreams, and a school that can expand worldwide. Some of the graduates have entered university, but some have dropped out because the curriculum of some universities is worse than ours.

When I saw the domestic horse industry, I thought that horses were not easy to handle and were strong, but it was amazing to see them act as if they were dealing with pets. Seeing that, I thought that the Korean horse industry should eventually go like this. Horseback riding is the second most popular sport in France after soccer and tennis, and its main customers are women. I heard that there are many women who ride horses in Germany as well. I hope Korea will take that approach. It is to create a culture in which many women and youth students ride horses and become familiar with horses.

test008

Of course, income levels should be raised, but other than that, it seems that the priority is to create a culture in which the people can feel familiar with horses. In addition, I think we should develop horseback riding that focuses on sports rather than elite horseback riding. The image of horses is strong due to the Jeong Yu-ra incident, but if the image of horses is revitalized, it will help to enhance their image to some extent. When it comes to the horse industry, Japanese people will think of simply riding horses, but when I looked around other advanced countries in the horse industry, I found that there were various industrial areas. It is also necessary to expand various industrial areas, including auxiliary industries.

Due to the nature of Meister High School, they are not children who aim to enter university, but higher education conducted at school is the end of our children's vocational education. As such, I want to feel rewarded as an educator with teachers by faithfully providing character and vocational education. I think it should be changed to an industry that can be close to the general public. In 2014, I went on a training trip to Europe such as Germany and France. At that time, I visited an agricultural fair in France, and I was surprised to see a 'horse gala show' there. As I watched a performance that seemed to deal with a horse only with gestures and eyes, I wondered if it could be like that.

Let's listen to the education of Kwak Hyo-jin, the new principal of Horse Racing Livestock High School, an institution that trains professional manpower in the domestic horse industry and the only meister high school in the horse industry. He lived for eight years in the Unbong area alone. I was dispatched to the Student Education Center and lived at the Horse Racing Livestock High School for six years, and I felt really happy. Unbong in Namwon is a place that means a lot to me. And because I shared the same class with the current teachers at the Horse Racing Livestock High School for six years, I feel good about it. It is a great feeling to be able to become the principal at the Horse Racing Livestock High School.
