The Korea Racing Authority (Chairman Si Jeong-gwan) expressed the need for active support at the government level at a meeting with the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Lee Dong-pil in cooperation with the Korea Forest Service (Director Shin Won-seop) at the Daejeon Government Complex on the 16th. The report was attended by more than 100 officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the Korea Forest Service, and the Korea Racing Authority, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs this year, with an action plan for the "industrialization of the future growth of agriculture," a key task for each institution, and a question-and-answer discussion of participants. The Korea Racing Authority reported that it completed the resolution of neglect management to normalize public institutions by promoting transparent management and customer-oriented management as major achievements in 2014, and that it received the highest 97.3 points in customer satisfaction in history.

If you didn't try because it was difficult at the time, the Korean race would still remain as a frog in the well. Since last year, it has expanded to the Asian Challenge Cup, and this year, it is pleasing to see it develop into an international race in which as many as five racehorses from five countries compete. World races have long been facing difficulties. The Korean race is entering a downward trend without blooming flowers. The downward trend of horse racing is closely related to the economic downturn. The same was true of horse racing in Japan, the United States, and Europe. However, as the number of Korean racers has already decreased, there is nothing to die for. The problem is regulations imposed by the government and the inspection committee. In particular, the abolition of online and telephone betting is running counter to the information age. This is because the government has failed to realize that the amount of leisure time for horse racing is estimated at 20 trillion won.

Circular ranches without roofs reduce the concentration of horses. In actual circular ranches, horses must be completely closed in order to be more concentrated in the initial stage of recovery, but most farmers do not have circular ranches that are closed like horseradish. Also, most farmers work alone. A horse is 2 to 30 heads, but they are often busy doing it alone. You cannot invest much time. You may not know what is wrong with training alone. Four pilot farms gather once a month to educate and give opinions to correct mistakes. Since last year, the provincial government, the Jeju Horse Producers Association, and the Korea Horse Association have gathered to carry out the project. Although it was in its early stages, it persuaded the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry to go up to the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, but the special zone funds were not sufficiently supported.

Meeting at the chairman's office ahead of the end of his term, former chairman Dae-seop was now exerting a strong passion for horse racing, which he had yet to dream of, even though he had to step down from his position as the head. Having cherished his passion for horse racing and his love for Korean racing, Dae-seop, the former head of the Seoul Racing Authority, promised that he would spare no effort for the globalization and sustainable development of the horse racing industry in the field of Korean racing, as a face-to-face, as a producer, and as a Korean horserace, even though his term is over. Being refreshing would be the correct expression. As I took over as chairman, I think I worked hard with the motivation to do something for the Seoul Horse Racing Association and even the Korean Horse Racing Association, but it is regrettable that I have not achieved as much as I thought.

We are devising another policy suitable for this with Jeju Halla University. The professor will make the standard manual, but the students came in and worked on it because they can't do it alone. They are planning it in connection with the time they graduate and the employment position. In the case of an aging farmhouse, even though the process of training the tail teeth is good when they are young, they cannot participate and are not able to participate. Graduates who have learned such a course and manual at school professionally carry out the course. For example, after graduating, a student who has gone through a training course contracts with 15 farms and regularly visits the horses and trains them according to their needs and process. Instead of joining the racetrack or staying for a long time,

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 Hanra University, which produced the training manual, and officials from the pilot farm meet once a month to show results and refine the manual for difficulties. After some time, words made according to the manual come out. It tracks the data and compares the horses that have been trained by the pilot farm with other horses according to their age. It will track and announce how early the race will be and how the grades will be after the race. Knowing that it will work for other farms, they expect it to spread quickly. In connection with Jeju Hanra University, which co-produced the standard manual, four pilot farms were selected,

Last year, I made a standard manual. There are ways to nurture and train them. I actually made a CD of them training them. The problem was that they made all the materials and said, "I made this. Please attend," but there was something that the farmers didn't come and didn't know. Even so, I couldn't let it go. After creating the manual for the first time and thinking about how it could be used in the actual field, I chose two policies. First, the staff personally visits the farm to let me know, shows that there is such a thing, and makes me attend the entire training. So this year, I am visiting all the farms one by one to share the news of the manual production and show the video through CDs. It is not just at the racetrack or just to announce it, but it is also visiting and demonstrating farms that are the size of the East and West regions in person.

A system has been prepared in which horses that pass the entrance examination on the day of employment are sent back to the racehorse if they fail. 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 also changes. If you trained horses that were not trained at all in the past and trained them 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 pass the driving inspection will be allowed to enter. The roadmap was drawn in this way.

Second, he drew a mid- to long-term roadmap to prevent the situation from ending with making and distributing manuals. Just as the university entrance examination system determines study patterns, it is important to set conditions and directions for joining a racehorse. Although it is not possible to do so immediately as if it takes at least five years for the curriculum to be promulgated, the conditions for joining a racehorse will begin by giving signals to production farmers and their opponents on how to proceed step-by-step and what to prepare for the future. Last year, he drew a roadmap from the mid- to long-term race resource management plan to strengthen the competitiveness of Jeju horse racing. Now, horses that have not been assisted or whose level has not been evaluated at all enter the racehorse immediately.

With the signing of an industrial development agreement at the end of February 2016, the obstacles to going to Jeju Horse Racing were resolved. I couldn't take the Jeju Horse Racing the way it is now. I had to provide products that I didn't feel ashamed of to my customers.First of all, we have prepared a 'school system' that systematically conducts production from the production process. Last year, we first reviewed good research data on how to produce and nurture Thoroughbred before and after. There are many data related to 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, we created a standard manual for production, fostering, and training, and specification management suitable for Jeju horses.

They make a lot of efforts before entering the racehorse by making a long-distance and Jeju Ranch and operating human resources. On the other hand, Jeju Horse Racing Authority has never made such efforts. The general public's perception of Jeju Horse Racing Authority and even the staff's perception is that "Jeju Horse Racing Authority can just run with it there." Like Thoroughbred, the process of production, training, and fostering is not systematic, but at some point, they are put into the race because they are old. As they enter the race without training, their professionalism decreases and there are many accidents. Horses also run at a lower level. The quality of the race is deteriorating with good horses. The Jeju Horse Racing Authority is broadcast in Seoul and Busan, and customers have complained that they cannot watch it and that they are not interested in it.

Although his term as a horse racer has ended, he will continue to support him as a horse racer. In 2012, he became the president-elect at the regular general meeting of the Seoul Racing Association and suggested to the horse racing community about the opening of the door to foreign countries. Even if I looked at other professional sports, I thought that in order to achieve development, exchange matches should precede. In the end, it was a question of who broke Columbus' eggs. Although most horse racers said it was premature and shook their heads that it was impossible, it was regrettable that it was an exchange match with Japanese local racetracks, but it was the first time in Korean horse racing history that a foreign racehorse visited Korea, and a Korean active racehorse represented Korean horse racing at a foreign racecourse and won the championship.

Jeon Sung-won, the current head of the win-win marketing division, and Kim Jin-gap, the head of the Jeju Regional Headquarters at the time of the agreement for the win-win development of the horse industry, are still communicating with farmers in a responsible manner on this important issue, constantly developing related policies and applying them to the field. At a special zone meeting held in Jeju in June last year, Jeon Sung-won, the 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 the racehorse from 2023, as Korea's representative passenger horse. Support is needed to establish a system for the production and development of horseback riding, training, and distribution.

I sometimes think that I wish I had more time, but it is also cool that I did my best during my term. When I took office, it was the 20th anniversary of the transition to the individual horse race. Since the individual horse race began in 1993, the past 20 years have been the growth period of Korean horse racing. Since I think I am an adult now, I think that the next 20 years should achieve great achievements in Korean horse racing. Looking back on the past 20 years, I think Korean horse racing has created a minimum foundation for going to global horse racing. The current negative public and government perceptions of horse racing are embarrassing and self-destructive as a racer, and overcoming this will be the biggest task. Just as the casino business saved Nevada during the US economic crisis in the past, the horse racing industry has the potential and sufficient potential to save Korea in an economic crisis.

In February 2015, the chairman of the Seoul Horse Racing Association, Dae-seop, completed his term and returned to normal horse racing.Former chairman Dae Ji-seop ran for the 8th Seoul Horse Racing Association presidential election in 2012 and took office as the 9th Seoul Horse Racing Association president in March 2013 after showing the record of an unprecedented joint election. Chairman Ji, who has emphasized the globalization and internationalization of Korean horse racing since before taking office, has contributed enormously to the success of the Korea-Japan race. Although everyone said it was impossible, the Korea-Japan Race Exchange Race, which was supported by Chairman Ji's strong drive, has been upgraded to the Asian Challenge Cup since last year, and this year, it is becoming an international race in which five countries compete.

My father faced me and told me to study horses. At that time, I was studying livestock management, distribution, and economics at Konkuk University, and I thought I should ride horses to study horses. While riding horses, I began to communicate directly with horses. As I touched horses myself, I fell into the charm of horses without realizing it. I always read books and videos on horses and looked for various educational programs to dream of raising a horse. After graduating from university, I joined the Jeju Ranch as a contractor by chance. While working, I saw and learned many things related to horses and acquired knowledge. After the contract was over, I began to raise horses in earnest. From my third year of university to my graduation, I took horse riding classes in the horse society.

test008

I have to learn from a lot of experience, but there are many difficulties in running a ranch myself. I lack knowledge and experience in manpower management or government policy required to run a ranch. I thought I knew the horse well and studied it a lot, but raising a horse myself was different from what I thought. I dreamed of a life of running around and relaxing with a horse. However, in reality, there are many difficulties because there are many things to do besides horse management, such as grassland management, facility management, and government support. Currently, I am receiving help from my father and those around me who have a lot of experience in horses. Because I am young, I have the advantage of being able to work passionately. I can work for my horse without weighing this or that.

Kwon Soon-ok, deputy director of the Horse Industry Journal, said, "The horse industry is drawing attention as a sixth industry that will be a growth engine for rural and agricultural areas. Establishing basic infrastructure is important for fostering the horse industry, and what are the measures of the horse society?" and Vice Chairman Lee Sang-young asked, "The horse industry has a lot of work to do as the sixth industry." First of all, it plans to install and support 16 horse riding facilities this year to expand accessible horse riding facilities through the creation of infrastructure, and to train 603 people through the national power industry training and industry-academic cooperation courses to cultivate professional manpower in the horse industry, and to expand the demand for horse riding, we will promote the adoption of horse riding sports in the youth sports competition and promote the boom of horse riding by expanding the children's horse riding competitions.

Equestrian event is an official Olympic sport. The recent controversy over Jeong Yu-ra was also negatively affected by political issues. It is unfortunate that horseback riding is viewed negatively. Right now, the 'Mayon-a-horse' is continuing to develop, and the future 'Mayon-a-horse' will play a role in creating the popularization of horseback riding. 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 in which foreign players can bring their horses to Korea and have a normal horse-riding competition with existing horses. In addition, I pay respect to the management of Daemyung Group, who plays this role without being interested in it. Horse-riding is politically intertwined due to a series of situations. In a way, the horse-riding people who have worked silently so far may be the victims of the Choi Soon-sil scandal.

If you didn't try because it was difficult at the time, the Korean race would still remain as a frog in the well.

The 'horse auction' is a policy project of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. In line with this, the auction part was added. It was conducted differently from the auction before. However, fundamental measures are needed for the development of the horse industry. The horse industry project has been initiated with government policies over the past five years. I know that it first started between 2011 and 2012, and if 500 horse racing stadiums were created in the first five years and training horse racing professionals were part of the first project, the five-year plan for horse racing development seems to be currently drifting. Therefore, I think the drifting project should be transformed into a virtuous cycle structure that can encompass everything, including the trading market.

Following his inauguration, he set his sights on three major challenges. First of all, the goal was to revive online betting, the biggest pending issue in Korean racing. Additionally, the issue of lowering the leisure tax, which must be addressed one day, and the internationalization of Korean racing were two of them. Despite his short tenure, he was able to make considerable efforts thanks to the help of the executives and elders of the Seoul Racing Association. I contacted and persuaded opposition lawmakers to change the policies surrounding the horse racing industry, but it is regrettable that the expected outcome was not achieved due to the Yongsan branch issue that arose last year and the conflict over horse racing innovation plans that began at the end of the year. I believe that everyone should join forces to promote online betting, leisure tax reduction, and internationalization in order for Korean racing to continue to develop in a big way and grow as a member of the global community.

However, Daemyung is trying not only to expand the base for horse-riding, but also not to lose its original intention of 'Mayon-a-horse'. It is planned to continue to develop the encounter between sports and culture without being shaken by any draft. Kim Hong-cheol, who served as the coach of the national horse-riding team, did not leave the scene throughout the three days of the 'Mayon-a-horse/2017 Daemyung Cup CSI3*'. Prior to the obstacle competition, he continued to explain the obstacle course to the visitors in person, showing a passion for horse-riding. Last year, it was held at the grass ranch, and this year it was held at the Sonopelice Horse Racing Club. It is true that he wanted to inform and show Sonopelice Horseback Riding Club to the public, and he was not able to organize the best environment for horses last year due to inconvenience in practice horse racing.

In addition, for safe riding, training will be conducted at Jangsu Ranch, and the artificial insemination breeding and racing horse breeding market for professional horseback riding will also make efforts to improve the quality of Korean racehorses by utilizing the K-Nicks breeding program. Kang Jong-woo, head of the prefectural horse ranch, said, "We are concerned about the damage to racehorse production farms in relation to horse racing innovation. What are the countermeasures against this?" and Vice Chairman Lee Sang-young asked, "To prevent damage to production farms and strengthen their competitiveness, we will introduce a seed horse worth 4 billion won this year and gradually promote the transfer to the function of the private breeding market." For the replacement of Woosu seed mares, it will provide 4.5 billion won for a total of 300 seed mares, 100 heads each, over the next three years, and 22.4 billion won will be invested in Jeju and Jangsu Ranch to foster all-weather racehorses for all seasons.

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 seen at 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." 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.
