My son, who studied in the U.K. for 10 years, has changed his job and is now cleaning up his horse. Last year, he also completed a 40-80-km endurance competition. He will make his first appearance as an individual at the CSI one-star competition to be held in Malaysia on March 4. The association and the horseracing community need to nurture and support athletes, but Korea is currently unable to host international competitions because it does not even have a venue for competitions such as obstacles and endurance. The horseback riding industry is a national constituency. We need to create an advanced success story to match that. There is no complex business model that generates revenue.

The first step in revitalization is possible only when the policy frame of the horse riding industry, which is centered on hardware, is centered around software. It is time for the head of the horse riding industry to come out and create a T/F team and do a project to contain content. We need to put an umbrella over the horse riding industry for the development of the industry. In fact, the "Korean style" has yet to be identified. Advanced cases should also be benchmarked. While the field first learns global trends and follows them in person, organizations and policies that move the horseback riding industry are slower in internationalization and information power than in the field or the private sector. It is time for innovative communication to reduce the temperature difference.

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."

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.

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. On May 7, he met with Kim Jin-gap, head of Jeju's Gyeongju Resource Management Department at Let's Run Park, and heard the progress of the systematic development of Jeju horses for Gyeongju.

When I went there, I was shocked by the culture. It was a competition where people worry about the benefits of horses and protect athletes, rather than being eliminated within two hours. This competition focused on advanced culture based on holsmanship, global trends, and hope in the competition. Our athletes also ran so well. They trained for one day and ran 10 to 20 kilometers easily, and also 40 kilometers per day. On the day of the competition, everyone finished the race and it became a memorable competition for the children. When it comes to sports, we focus on making only athletes, but don't foreigners study and ride horses together? Process is important in the field, but we only value the results.

Although it is not possible to maintain the old road as it is, similar modernization of Yeokcham can be used as an equestrian leisure center. Farming and fishing villages can form cooperatives here, and the government can support this place and build a massage. Of course, since the road connecting Yeokcham and Yeokcham is the rice bowl of the farming and fishing villages themselves, horse poop must be cleaned and managed by themselves. Farming and fishing villages that produce horses should be centered on simple experiences, and leisure should go to the horseback riding leisure trekking course. It can be a place where the horseback riding industry and rural areas are well harmonized with the rest area and accommodation facilities, and there are local agricultural stores.

Children who participate in the horse riding competition will show off their skills and even parents and grandmothers will attend to see their children, which can be a festival that harmonizes with local residents. Also, the implementation of the riding course grade system should be accelerated as soon as possible. Hotels also have grades, and as users choose from them, the grade system should be implemented for horse riding courses. These days, safety is more important than anything else. If safety and education quality are guaranteed through the grade system of the horse riding course, schools will be able to conduct related classes without burden. It is a way to connect the whole country.

The 'Mayon-a-horse' is continuing to develop, and the 'Mayon-a-horse' will play a role in creating the popularization of horseback riding in the future. I also have confidence in this. However, I don't know how long it will take. The final goal of the 'Mayon-a-horse' that Daemyung Group wants is to promote CSI5* to create an environment where foreign players can bring their horses directly to Korea and have a normal horse-riding competition with their existing horses. In addition, I pay tribute to the management of Daemyung Group, which plays this role unselfishly.Equestrianism is now politically intertwined by a series of events. The equestrian who has worked silently so far may be the victims of the Choi Soon-sil scandal in a way.

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."

We need to prove and let children know that they get really better when they ride horses. The best target will be the first year of middle school or the sixth year of elementary school. An MOU is signed with a local education office, and students in all grades in the area should ride horses for at least two hours a week for a year. There are statistics on educational indicators for each education office, and they should strive for publicity through data such as how much their bodies grow and how much school violence decreases when they ride horses for a year. It is necessary to change the public perception of horseback riding by promoting such projects with EBS education broadcasts. First of all, the principal and vice principal of each school are ignorant about horseback riding. So, it would be good to include horseback riding education in the principal and vice principal training

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.

Direct financial support has its limits. If the government's support is to pour water for priming, it is now necessary to pour water in the right place. For the effect to be achieved by providing 40 million won and reaching 400, 4, and 40 billion won, the government should present a clear vision and induce the front-line sites to move accordingly. vague candy applications are not enough. It never means that they will survive by drinking water from the front-line horse racing grounds. The government should present a vision, and at the front-line horse racing grounds, we should devise and work accordingly to the project to fill it. If you order our children to ride horses, the genes of the horseback riding people are alive. They are clearly different from the Japanese children.

However, there are trials and errors and difficulties because guidelines have not been established. To draw a comparison to building a highway, if you want to build a huge highway, you must draw a big picture, such as where to put the road, how many lanes to put, etc., and design and build each section within that framework to complete the highway. Even though it is said as 'horse industry', there is no big frame on how to go and how to go. Businesspeople endure reality today and invest and wait for the future if they have a vision and desire for the future, even if reality is difficult and difficult today. On the other hand, no matter how good the reality is today, they do not invest unless they have a vision for the future. I'm speaking to you as a horse industry business operator.

We also ask for a lot of support and encouragement in this regard, whether it is the government or the sports association. Daemyung Group, which does not spare investment in horseback riding, is playing a role as a driving force in the development of Korean horseback riding in name and reality. Kim Hong-chul, the general manager, said that the "Mayon A Horse," which began in 2015, is continuing to develop, and eventually, he wants to see foreign players bring in their horses and compete normally with domestic athletes by attracting CSI5*. Jeon Sung-won, the current head of the win-win marketing division, and Kim Jin-gap, the head of the Jeju Regional Headquarters, who was the head of the Jeju Regional Headquarters at the time of the agreement for win-win development of the horse industry, are still communicating with farmers in a responsible manner on this important issue, and are constantly developing related policies and applying them to the field.

The inauguration ceremony was held in the order of introduction of the new headquarters' biography, inauguration speech, and commemorative photography. Choi Won-il, the new head of the headquarters, said in his inauguration speech, "I feel excited and a great sense of responsibility to come to Let's Run Park Busan-Gyeongnam, which boasts excellent performances, such as producing a carnival for the Dubai World Cup in January this year, and it is you who have created Let's Run Park Busan-Gyeongnam, which has a number of contents representing the community, including the light theme park 'Ilumia', 'Maglamping Site', and 'Garden of Tomas', and said, "I would like to take this opportunity to thank the executives and employees, horse racing, and horse industry."

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.

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.

test008

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.
