If I had started from the top in the first place, I would have been at a loss for what to do when that inevitable slump came, and I would have wandered around for quite a while.I think he has always posted steady results, but in fact, jockey Ham Wan-sik once experienced the end of a slump. Just when it seemed that jockey Ki-su had established himself to some extent in the world, negative rumors and baseless speculation spread that “jockey Ham Wan-sik is quitting the horse.” The racetrack was a place where the power of words was as absolute as that of horses. Even when he pleaded his innocence, only those around him seemed to know the truth, and his reputation, already at rock bottom, showed no sign of recovering easily.

He, who had been like that, started saving money, gave his parents an allowance, and now was even able to gift his friends high-end sneakers.At such a young age, receiving that much money all at once seemed impossible to handle. For no reason, I tense up my throat, and childish thoughts start piling up.At first, I poured money generously into things I was curious about, things I wanted to try, and things I wanted to buy. One day, while I was spending my time recklessly, not realizing how fast it had gone, I suddenly wondered what I was doing. Looking at the heavily crushed footprints on the path he had walked, jockey Ham Wanseok suddenly snapped back to his senses. I recalled the difficult times I had gone through, and the moments when I worked so hard to get here.

Unlike now, at the time rookie jockeys were not easily given the opportunity to mount a horse. Even if I had to ride a so-called “dung horse,” I often stayed up all night the day before the race, trying to imagine how it would get out of the gate and how it would react to various conditions. It was also important to catch the trainer’s eye. Even if the grades didn’t come out, I desperately poured all my strength into showing my determination to give it a try. That gradually became second nature, turned into his own style, and the name Ham Wansik began to gradually take root.Starting from the very bottom in the first place has become the driving force that has kept me going until now. Because they understand the process and the reality, they have gained the strength to rebound and rise again even when a crisis comes.

As a reserve jockey, Ham Wan-sik, who was literally left hanging in midair, had to earn riding opportunities even more painfully than when he was a rookie. There were times when I took one horse each week, and many days when I had no horse to train and sent it to the ball.But it could not collapse like this. Horse jockey Ham Wan-sik, whose training was rumored to be grueling, stepped forward to ride horse 53, a horse that most jockeys would not dare to challenge. Whether it was a foal or a steep wall horse, we approached training from the very beginning without discrimination. It was the dead of winter. Even as the back of his hand cracked and he felt as if the wind would tear his face apart, he gritted his teeth.

To jockey Ham Wan-sik, who came in prepared to risk his bones, Team Leader Jang’s words at the time were more joyful than any compliment. The first step toward the cohort seemed to begin so smoothly.Full-fledged student life. Hajun Ham, who received his first paycheck, was overwhelmed by a complex mix of emotions.It was a family situation that was not comfortable. The parents, who had to support three children, were not financially comfortable enough to take such good care of the youngest, jockey Ham Wan-sik. Whenever the friends went to buy sneakers from a famous brand, jockey Ham Wan-sik would quietly step outside the shop and wait for them. When his own sneakers wore out and tore, he took the 30,000 won his mother had given him and went alone to Dongdaemun to buy a new pair.

Having passed the other tests without any problem, the only thing left was the horse riding adaptation test. Jockey Ham Wan-sik, who had never been to Jeju Island even once in his life, saw a horse for the first time that day.They suddenly told me to jump onto the horse and ride it. So I just grabbed the mane and saddle straps and dashed up.Before I knew it, I got on the horse and looked around, only to find that quite a few people, surprisingly, were struggling to climb up. After spending some time on the horses running through the wetlands, I returned, and at the time, Team Leader Jang Il-gi (now head of the Horseback Riding & Jockey Training Activation TF Team), who was watching this scene, asked, “You handle the rebound so smoothly—have you ever ridden a horse?”

Most people think of horse racing as gambling.However, in everyday life, quite a large number of people enjoy horse racing as a leisure activity. If the environment and culture of horse racing are improved so that horse racing can be enjoyed as a leisure activity, and the horse racing industry is revitalized through this, the horse industry will also become more active. I believe that revitalizing the horse industry can also provide great benefits to our society.First of all, I think it would be wonderful if the next government

Even in Japan, it becomes 75.1%, and in Hong Kong, 78.1%. In countries like the United Kingdom or Australia, it reaches as high as 89%. Our country takes too many taxes off people. On top of that, there are many horse racing taxes, including a 100% increase in entrance fees, double taxation at more than 100 times the rate, and refunds exceeding 2 million won. So the content is that horse racing taxes should be reduced. It also contained the content that online betting must be conducted.

Horse racing is a sport that can be fully enjoyed as a leisure activity.The reason for organizing this gathering today is to improve the negative image of horse racing,which is perceived by people as gambling despite being fully enjoyable as a leisure activity.In addition,it is to create a public forum to discuss tax issues unfavorable to us horse racing fans and the reintroduction of online betting ticket sales.I stopped online betting ticket sales around 2009,and I thought that such a public discussion platform might be necessary to bring online sales back into practice.

Just because it’s called a riding horse doesn’t mean you expect it to be at the level of what equestrian athletes ride; it’s meant to be comfortable to ride. Six months is enough. Six months can be long, or it can be short. I think if you focus on the process, it could be done in three or four months.In the case of Hallama, it is currently 4 to 500 million won per bird. After three to four months of training, the price rises to as high as 8 to 9 million won. It is the value of a trained horse. As long as the training system works properly, it doesn’t suffer any loss.

Build part of the horse there so that Jeju horses can enter, be trained, receive training on the main course, and then come.For farms that lack well-equipped facilities, the Jeju Horse Producers Association has independently secured a certain amount of provincial funds to operate the Seongeup Breeding Center. We are renovating the facilities. Although a mid- to long-term roadmap has been established, infrastructure is necessary for the hiring criteria based on the process to be implemented.
