For the equestrian industry to grow and develop, local riding clubs themselves need to have their own grading system. And you also need to provide services and marketing at a level that matches that. Relevant organizations should establish standards for industry standardization, and educational institutions such as schools should ensure that standardized services are provided to consumers through the development of active educational programs. Only then can the overall image of the horse industry improve and continue to develop.

Whether you are abroad or in a regional area, if you have the will, you can learn sufficiently. Even overseas, in places like China and Southeast Asia, if people want to learn about our language industry, they are not limited by spatial constraints. Because the curriculum can be conducted even from a distant location, instructors training on site can also earn their master’s degree without coming into a classroom. And instead of a graduation thesis, it is also possible to graduate by completing major courses.

Of course, it's not me. We will invite the top experts in the horse industry field to conduct a class. I mean someone who has both skill and recognition. Since it is a graduate-level program, it would likely be someone with a master's degree or higher. Some may also raise the question of whether there is no curriculum. This is also an area that can be misunderstood by those who are not familiar with it, but the basic course curriculum of our graduate school is well established. It was well organized and broken down into areas such as marketing,

He says that through speaking, he has become more inspired by poetry.The master’s program candidates will mainly be equestrian instructors and operators in the horse industry, as well as workers in related organizations or associations. A leader can be either a former athlete or an instructor. It’s essential for those who want to run a business. Through advanced courses in the master’s program, each student can further develop their expertise, and after completing the graduate program, they can apply what they have learned in the field.

Education centered on horses will be conducted, covering marketing, services, and rehabilitation training using medicine. The more applicants there are for the “Horse Industry Management” major, the more we plan to expand the number of courses tailored to the major. Through education, we will move toward making the horse industry more systematized and specialized. Since this is the first major offered, it is not easy to impose an excessive offering. We haven’t even enrolled yet, so we can’t just recklessly add more courses.

Starting this fall semester, the first master’s program in the “horse industry” in Korea will be launched. I promoted it while taking the Department of Sports Industry at the Graduate School of Industry at Sejong University. The Department of Sports Industry offers four majors: Equine Industry Management, Sports Marketing, Sports Medicine, and Leisure Sports Tourism. I wondered if I was really blinded by words, and it made me think that I want to develop the horse industry into a genuine industry.

Professor Kim, who says that starting to learn horseback riding has deepened his inspiration for poetry, is actually a marketing education expert with no connection to the horse industry.As an expert in a field unrelated to the horse industry, he began on the fringes of the horse industry, but he has faithfully fulfilled his role as an educator by sharing the appeal of equestrianism with corporate CEOs and opinion leaders, and by helping establish a proper equestrian culture.

Combined with local farm restaurants and lodging facilities, it also plays a major role in attracting visitors to the region. The refreshing valley campground surrounded by nature and the outdoor picnic platforms where you can enjoy Pia-gol’s cuisine are said to be perfect for a summer vacation. In addition, it offers a variety of experiential programs and lodging facilities, including janghak school, kimchi making, maple leaf tea picking, and tea ceremony education.As a result, sales rose from 300 million won in 2013 to 500 million won in 2016,

First of all, I regret the recent horse trainer incident that occurred at LetsRun Park Busan-Gyeongnam. The working hours of speech therapists abroad are also very similar to those in Korea. However, in that they receive a portion of the prize money they win, the treatment of Korean horse handlers is relatively good. Although some European countries, such as Ireland, have regulations requiring a portion of the prize money to be paid, when comparing treatment, Korea is relatively better.“Champ Line” didn’t run in the last race meet,

Because of that influence, he grew up in an environment familiar with horses from an early age.In most foreign countries, gambling—predicting race outcomes through betting—is also enjoyed as a form of leisure. It is also common to see people who visit the racetrack on weekends as a family outing casually placing bets.At present, it seems that the Korea Racing Authority is doing a good job in strengthening competitiveness. For example, they are doing well things like hosting international competitions such as the “Korea Cup” in Korea,

My grandfather and father worked as trainers in Ireland, and other family members also have horse-related jobs such as trainers and jockeys. I actually started my life as a trainer when I debuted in Malaysia in 2010, but it has been quite a long time since I formed a bond with horses and lived with them.Korean horse racing is currently showing signs of significant development. Even compared to three years ago, horses’ abilities, trainers’ training techniques, and jockeys’ riding skills have advanced considerably.

Europe and Malaysia, besides the sand main course, there are many races held on the turf main course as well. South Korea still does not have a grass main road. If that is the difference, then that is the difference.There are also some slight differences in the Gyeongju style. In Korea, there are many attempts to take the lead early in the race. If possible, I try to stand at the front. However, in Europe, there are various styles rather than just front-runners, such as closers who surge from the back and free-running horses.

Three years may seem long or short, but during that time, having seen, heard, and experienced it firsthand on the front lines of Korean horse racing, I believe I have gained a thorough understanding of it.In addition, his ranking among the top trainers affiliated with LetsRun Park Pukyong shows that he is already very familiar with Korean horse racing. Now, beyond being just a foreign-born trainer, he is also a member of the team making new history in Korean horse racing, and he appeared to have a deep affection for Korean horse racing.

Last year, he contributed six papers to journals indexed by the National Research Foundation of Korea, including “A Study on Policies Utilizing the Prevalence of Gambling Addiction in the Gambling Industry,” and led younger colleagues and young people in recognizing the pressing challenges facing the horse racing industry through writing and presentations.In a phone interview with this paper, Acting Head of the Horse Racing Headquarters Kim Jong-guk said, “This is a time when wisdom and patience are needed to untangle the complex threads of the horse racing world,

Preliminary registration horses will be published on the website immediately after the preliminary registration period ends, and will also be featured in the Saturday-Sunday edition of “Today’s Race” the week after preliminary registration takes place.The Ministry of Strategy and Finance’s Lottery Commission, which seeks to abolish the total lottery sales cap, and the Integrated Supervisory Committee on Gambling under the Prime Minister’s Office, which rejects it, are clashing head-on over the total lottery sales volume cap.While the Lottery Commission is seeking an exception to the sales limit for lotteries, which it says is ineffective, the Gambling Supervision Commission argues that since the sales plan submitted by the Lottery Commission this year is smaller than the sales limit set by the Gambling Supervision Commission, there is no need to apply an exception to the sales limit.

Although there is some support from the Korea Racing Authority, the current auction market, which focuses mainly on two-year-olds and has producers cover most of the costs of early and late-stage breeding, is increasing the burden on producers. If conditions are created in the future so that the association takes the lead in nurturing the later generation, active support is needed.Ideally, to restructure the auction market to focus on first-generation horses, as in advanced countries, various support measures and systems should also be put in place.

Illegal private horse racing has been rapidly spreading through the internet since 2005, and research has shown that the market size for illegal private horse racing reached a record high of 22.37 trillion won in 2009, then showed an upward trend again to 8.7 trillion won in 2010 and 9.77 trillion won in 2011.Dr. Park Kyung-rae also argued that the current contraction in the horse racing market is due to the fact that it operates only offline, so ignoring the introduction of a real-time horse racing system using the internet or mobile devices makes it difficult to expect any further influx of new customers, and he argued that regulatory policies for the horse racing industry need to be reconsidered from the ground up.

He also argued that it is now time to consider modernizing the gambling industry for the welfare of the people, and insisted that the distorted, one-sided view of the gambling industry must be corrected.In a presentation on the topic “The Current State of Illegal Private Horse Racing and Measures to Eradicate It,” Dr. Park Kyung-rae of the Criminal Policy Research Institute outlined the current state and problems of illegal private horse racing and proposed measures to eradicate it. As the horse racing industry has recently been emphasized for its industrial character as a high value-added horse industry and for its financial nature toward the national and local governments, it contains various positive functional elements as a comprehensive industry, but illegal private horse racing has damaged the positive functions of horse racing and, furthermore, undermined the legal order within society as a crime.

Starting this fall semester, Sejong University’s Graduate School of Industry will launch the country’s first master’s program in the “horse industry.” I ask many people involved in the horse industry to take an interest and participate. I believe that if master’s-level experts are produced with the active support of the horse industry sector, it will greatly contribute to the development of the horse industry.

Gathering businesspeople for programs and events is several times more effective than targeting the general public. If these people become passionate about equestrianism, they could also contribute to the development of equestrianism through sponsorship. The grassroots equestrian competitions being promoted by the Korea Racing Authority also have a good purpose, so if they attract businesspeople, sponsorships for promoting their own companies could naturally follow.Also, even just offering training, study tours, and programs for businesspeople
