The designation of the horse industry special zone in Jeju Special Self-Governing Province is significant in that it will establish the infrastructure for the development of the horse industry in the future."Meanwhile, officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and the Korea Horse Association, which oversees and supports the horse industry development project, said, "It is welcome that the horse industry special zone has been designated and the metropolitan and basic local governments are highly motivated to promote the horse industry development project in the year of the Cheongma," but advised, "However, the horse industry will be a growth engine for the local economy only when systematic projects are carried out in consideration of the conditions and characteristics of each local government."

The Gyeonggi provincial government is in talks with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to start construction of infrastructure at the end of this year. Since 2011, when the Horse Industry Promotion Act was being pursued, Gyeonggi Province has pushed for various policies to be designated as a special zone for horse industries, focusing on building infrastructure by creating production bases and setting up small horseback riding fields. However, it failed to apply for the designation of a special zone because it did not meet the requirements under the relevant law ahead of the application for designation of the special industrial zone at the end of last year. Gyeonggi Province plans to push ahead with the designation of the special zone again as soon as possible with the requirements such as Eco-Farmland.

However, despite this reality, civic groups, which have jumped on social prejudice and local selfishness against over-the-counter sales centers, are engrossed in opposition and are making a significant contribution to the nation's finances by paying 1.4 trillion won in annual tax revenues, which is regrettable.The horse and horse industries say they should not only oppose for opposition, but also have open-minded discussions to seek the development of sound leisure and set the best direction for each other.

In particular, in 2013, for experts in each field, advanced education technology for horse training for three months at the Paul Schauquemuller Ranch in Germany, the world's best training center for the production and development of horseback riding, and training programs for three months at the French national and private equestrian schools were operated. Local experts appreciated these activities and signed an MOU with IFCE in France to lay the foundation for human and material exchanges. In addition to training for existing experts, training programs for excellent resources are also in place. Among the trainees of the regular training course operated by the Korean Horse Association, nine qualified horse trainers, horseback riding instructors, and rehabilitation horse riding instructors were trained for a month at the national stall in Ahadfang, France.

It also plans to create a foundation for popularizing horse riding through school sports activities and to prepare a standardized model for attracting horse riding competitions and establishing rehabilitation horse riding. Chungju City, which is seeking to attract a horse culture complex leisure center, is also accepting applications for a horse industry development project. Applications include private horse riding facilities, purchase of horseback riding, and training facilities for base passenger horses. A Chungju city official said that as the application for the horse industry development project is a project that is confirmed through competition with other cities and counties, it will make thorough preparations to select a business plan for the development of the horse industry in Chungju.

We have reorganized the curriculum efficiently and are focusing on improving the theory classes. We will directly request the Korea-US Scholarship Foundation and invite native-speaking instructors from August. As it is a public school, it is a "dream school" where all courses are provided free of charge. The facilities, infrastructure, and curriculum are among the best, but I think the quality improvement of the class is still insufficient compared to this external development. After designation as Meister High School, the level of students is also increasing,

Usually, mares are sulky and sensitive. "Classical Girl" is a mare, but still dull and intelligent. Even if you ride strongly, you will have a hard time at that time. When it comes to people, you don't keep it in mind and start anew the next day. As a person, you are very patient. The part that worries and fears while teaching horses is that they will give up on them. If you give up on other things, no matter how much you try, you can't do anything. In some cases, I have a strong will to do it so that I feel like 'Classical Girl' is laughing at me, asking, 'Is this all you can do

Wildfire Festival. I heard that they used homa meat. He told the provincial government, "Don't try it if you want to taste it with such meat." It is trying to promote horse meat but it is trying to obscure its image. It is not important that the meat is big but the breed. Shouldn't we offer high-quality and tasty meat at a big event where provincial residents and tourists come? Wouldn't tourists also have to enjoy horse meat when they visit Jeju Island? When horse meat restaurants and people who deliver and sell it have to look far away and deliver high-quality meat, consumers will have a good perception.

Castration alone costs about 10 million won per year. There was no support for both castration and slaughter. However, the Seogwipo City Livestock Cooperative is partially subsidizing the cost of slaughtering these days. Drugs are also more expensive than cattle. Beef feed for horses is also expensive, and nothing is in order to save money. Under these circumstances, in order to save money, it is normal for her to make significant profits in the distribution and restaurant sectors. By the way, she never deals with "big horses" referring to horses, or racehorses. Homa can be bought from the inland to Jeju Island for only 7-800,000 won.

Small build, small talk, and a beautiful face...When we first met, she instantly recognized that she was a representative woman of Samdado Island and that she was a "eomeng who was born and raised there. She was more agile than anyone else when she worked and her voice was firm on the phone. Ahn Hae-young, whom I met on Sep. 13 near Baekma Garden, which is under construction in Wahley, Jeju Island, was able to live a new life because of the words, which made her a living like a "haenyeo" in the horse industry. To her, words were a matter of "eating and living." More than 20 years ago, my husband had to be hospitalized for a long time because of an accident.

Also, Korean research societies should research and develop Korean horse culture. Many Korean horse-riding cultures have disappeared since Japanese colonial era when Japanese imperialism denied and abolished Korean culture. Until the late 1960s, the station horse, which was used as the only means of transportation in the past, was preserved, and a mountain race horse race was held in Hwacheon, a place where Togomi rice is grown, not a plain speed race. Efforts are needed from various angles, such as saving Korean culture to attract the interest of the general public.

I am confident that the pie in the Korean horse industry will eventually grow and develop if everyone tries to go together rather than running for the first place. Principal Lee Hee-soo, who was a scholarship officer in the vocational education department of the Jeonbuk Provincial Office of Education, came to Horse Racing High School and has worked hard day and night for the past three years to take responsibility for the interest in "employment

When I went to Horse Park in Japan, I saw elderly people riding carriages. The horse industry also needs to be expanded to the silver business. I hope that Seoul or each local government can help with horse-riding or horse-riding tourism. It is also necessary for local residents to increase cultural access to horse-riding and diversify sports. Before being designated as Meister High School, I communicated with the local community through visiting horse-riding classes. I tried to run a wagon for the elderly living alone, but it is difficult because there is no proper horse-riding.

Nevertheless, teachers do not neglect their self-development, so they are trying to teach students by obtaining a leadership certificate in the horse industry. Even if I leave, I will suggest to the education office so that they can remain and teach students consistently. Our students are also amazing. I start my work from 5 a.m. until 9 p.m., take care of and educate the horses myself, and work voluntarily. I do not go home voluntarily on weekends as well as after-school activities, and sometimes I stay at school. The school is also giving various welfare, benefits, and support to the students who are working hard.

Compared to three years ago, horses have increased from 25 heads to 71 heads, and he is managing all kinds of things from breeding. The number of teachers has nearly doubled, and he is working as a professional teacher who trains professional manpower while obtaining various leadership qualifications. As the birthplace of professional education that is better than universities, we have built infrastructure and curriculum that people in advanced countries in the horse industry envy.

Since everything about horses is a system that is entirely entrusted to the assistant teacher, only the business operator facing it seems to have nothing special to do. What I have felt while facing each other so far is that there is clearly a potential for development in terms of business, and I feel that everything in life is melted, such as a sense of accomplishment, enjoyment, and distress. However, the reality in Korea is that it is still difficult to tell the acquaintances around you to face each other because I think face-to-face is related to horse racing. In addition, I think it is necessary to have passion for face-to-face because it is not a situation where you can face each other on your own without an introduction from your surroundings.

On October 1, 2013, the first year of his appointment, he was designated as an institution to train professionals in the horse industry. I went to Lyon, France, where the horse industry fair was held, for three weeks and came to think about the education our students need and teaching methods of vocational schools. A vocational high school combining horseback riding and horse racing is unprecedented in the world. At one point, our school was on the verge of closing, and only 7 students per class, but it established its initial foundation by switching to a specialized high school

He is four months away from retirement, but he is always the same as when he took the post three years ago. Even on the day the interview was promised, he was cutting the site of the mountain behind the school by himself, dressed as a farmer. He poured beverage himself for the interview after the shower, changed clothes as soon as he finished the interview, and this time headed to the mountain behind the school with the students.

Until now, the KRA has not given up any lingering feelings about the construction of the Seocho branch through an administrative lawsuit regarding the ruling to cancel the building permit for the over-the-counter sale in Seocho-gu, Seoul, but it has reportedly given up its appeal recently. In October last year, the KRA filed a lawsuit against the Seoul Metropolitan Government's decision to change the city management plan, which served as an excuse for the building permit for the Seocho branch. The KRA said in the lawsuit that the delay in construction was not a KRA's responsibility, but an inevitable reason, and that the cancellation of the building permit in Seocho-gu was contrary to the building law, and that the Seoul Metropolitan Government's decision to change the city management plan was also unjust.

They push and pull each other, fight and sulk, have a war of nerves, and sometimes regret getting hurt on one side. Short is a short period, but it feels like I have already lived my life once.The horse is the most beautiful animal that God has ever given. It has a beautiful appearance and has moderate aggression unlike deer and other animals, so I think that it can live harmoniously with humans. It is also an animal that can communicate with humans. When I am upset or depressed, when I hold a horse, I feel as if my heart melts. I feel comforted.
