Of course, it was not that there had been no domestic horse-riding and training techniques for using retired racehorses as riding horses. Until the mid-1990s, they bred and trained The Dirty Blood, which had mainly been used as racehorses at racetracks, on their own and used it as riding horses. However, in the mid-1990s, when the European Warmblood began to be introduced in earnest in Korea, the taming and training techniques for retired racehorses naturally disappeared.

As they are called the young blood of the horse industry, they will do it with passion.Choi Tae-hoon, head of the Yongin Pony Club, expressed his ambition to open a chain store bearing the name of his equestrian club. He said that there were many difficult and challenging hurdles in the process of growing the pony business from just three horses to 23 within a few years. However, by working hard on his own and overcoming difficulties, he has now earned stable income, including receiving certification for the 6th industry.

When I burned a lot, I even earned 500,000 won, and yet I said I was happy. What started that way has now been recognized for its effort, receiving certification as a sixth-sector industry, and with government support, it is becoming more stable.My wife had no connection to words. We met through an introduction, and by going on dates and hanging out together, my wife naturally became familiar with the language as well. I bought three horses, and the two of us went out together and went on a lot of dates, and that’s how it ended up coming to this point.

Popularizing horseback riding is the top priority. If horseback riding becomes widely familiar to the public, many people will visit riding clubs, and that directly translates into the clubs’ income. Structural changes are needed so that horseback riding can be easily disseminated. In addition, customer service seems important. In any field, it is difficult to succeed without improving customer service.In addition, the equestrian center also needs to make an effort to find a breakthrough on its own.

Most riding arenas receive support related to student riding. I’ve even heard that if this support is cut off, most equestrian centers will go under. Support cannot continue indefinitely, and equestrian operators themselves must build their own strength. If support continues, I won’t make an effort. Our equestrian center doesn’t even receive support for student riding, but it is running fairly well on its own. It’s thanks to working hard on my feet. What I felt on site was that if you work hard, this is a field with plenty of potential.

Among them are some that are crossbred between Warmblood and Hanlama, as well as Shuttlelands, Miniatures, and others.Ponies are usually bred and then sold in many places like experience farms. The one we bred from Hallamarang and Warmblood is so good that we’re not selling it and are using it ourselves right now. It’s a very good thing, so I have no intention of selling. Halla horses are being sold in large numbers at the riding stable.

Since I was a child, my father ran a farm raising livestock such as deer, pigs, and goats, so I had no hesitation in raising animals, and horseback riding, which I learned as an elective in college, became my connection. Seeing that I learned horseback riding as quickly as the other kids, the riding instructor even praised me. And by the time I was riding for the third time, the instructor even said, “Would you consider helping me work at the riding stable?”While preparing for the university graduation presentation,

For now, I’m getting a lot of inquiries about the program from nearby kindergartens and schools. The first time regular customers visited our equestrian club, they were very satisfied with the program and spread a lot of word-of-mouth about it. As word spread among parents, inquiries came in one after another, and when demand for the horseback riding program grew to a certain scale, kindergartens and schools would also follow up with group inquiries.

Every month, programs are offered for nutrition teachers and parents that allow them to experience the entire process from the production and processing of agricultural products to the supply of ingredients, thereby building trust in food ingredients.

In 2003, they built a racehorse ranch with a total site area exceeding 4.9 million square meters, and began sales operations and owner activities focusing on horse breeding and training and acclimatization. In 2007, while expanding the horse massage facility, he also devoted himself to horse welfare by subjecting horses to taming and training before entering the racetrack, and introduced an advanced horse industry to Korea.

The history of Jeju Seong Isidore, which has already surpassed half a century, began this way.Father Patrick McGrinchie, who founded the Seong Isidore Ranch in Jeju and carried out missionary work and various social projects on the rugged land of Jeju for more than 60 years, passed away on April 23 at 6:27 p.m. On April 9, he was hospitalized at Jeju Halla Hospital for ischemic heart disease, including myocardial infarction and heart failure, and received treatment before returning to his hometown at the age of 90.

When he earned his doctorate in agricultural economics in Germany in the 1980s, he had already been involved with the horse industry. In a 2016 interview with Horse Industry Journal, the newly appointed CEO emphasized the establishment of item-specific cooperatives, the introduction of a “quota system,” and the development of research on horse culture.Newly appointed representative Jeong Myeong-chae emphasized, “We must establish cooperatives in each region, elevate them to the level of a national federation,

Mentioning the necessity of changing the philosophy of agricultural policy and introducing an innovation system, it said, “We must emphasize the justification for government support by pointing out that farmers’ efforts to strengthen their public-interest functions require a price in return from the public,” adding that this is a time when the roles of farmers’ organizations, civic social groups, and the National Agriculture Forum are expected to be important.After reminding that the public interest function of agriculture had not yet been enshrined in the Constitution,

I will actively support the many concerns and opinions shared here today so that they can translate into practical and tangible results,” and urged, “Please do not hesitate to provide the Korea Racing Authority with support for the development of Jangheung County’s horse industry.”Meanwhile, the Korea Racing Authority stated that it plans to implement improvement measures including establishing a cooperative medical care system through a registration system for private veterinarians at each hub, providing clinical training for large animal veterinarians to promote emergency horse medical personnel, and expanding the installation of riding horse breeding support centers for horses, in response to difficulties such as the absence of a specialized horse veterinarian in the area of Jangheung County’s horse producers and the inconvenience of breeding support due to the long distance of Jangsu Ranch.

On April 30, the Seoul Trainers Association and the Jockey Association decided to form an Ethics Committee and appoint its members, and on June 7 decided to establish an Ethics Committee for racehorse-related personnel and expand it to all workplaces. On June 14, a preliminary meeting was held to determine the operational direction of the Ethics Committee, and on July 8, the contents of the Ethics Agreement were finalized. The contents of the ethics agreement were drafted by the Fair Horse Racing Authority and then finalized after coordination between the two organizations.The “Agreement for the Practice of Fair Horse Racing” signed between the Seoul Trainers Association and the Jockey Association aims to strengthen mutual communication and cooperation among both organizations and their members, enhance the fairness of horse racing through active self-regulatory efforts, and thereby promote the establishment of a trustworthy horse racing culture among customers and the public.

This year, with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs designating one horse industry special zone each in Gyeongsangbuk-do (Gumi, Yeongcheon, Sangju, Gunwi, Uiseong) and Gyeonggi-do (Yongin, Hwaseong, Icheon) as the second and third horse industry special zones, the development of the horse industry in inland regions has officially begun.Jangheung County’s establishment of a close cooperative relationship with the Korea Racing Authority by signing a memorandum of understanding and holding a meeting to promote the horse industry is seen not only as an effort to foster the horse industry, which is emerging as the local government’s top priority, but also as a move with the designation of the next horse industry special zone in mind.

To this end, both organizations will actively promote self-regulatory activities centered on ethics committee members to strengthen the ethical awareness of their members and workers.This year, Chairman Kim Ki-cheon, who turned 60, celebrated a double milestone. In May, the eldest son got married, followed by the expansion and relocation of the Holsmate Equestrian Club, the birth of five foals, and Gyeonggi Province being designated as the third special zone. Chairman Kim Ki-chun said, “I can only speak,” but everyone who knows understands how great his hidden efforts and contributions were before Gyeonggi Province was designated a special zone.Chairman Kim Ki-chun, who began as an equestrian, now has his interest extended throughout the horse industry.

In addition, about 20 people attended the Korea Racing Authority, including Kim Jong-guk, Head of the Fair Management Headquarters; Kim Hak-shin, Head of the Seoul Regional Headquarters; Won Yoo-gwan, Director of the Fair Management Division; and Jang Dong-ho, Director of the Seoul Racing Headquarters.The reason the Seoul Trainers Association and the Jockey Association came to sign an ethics agreement on their own to promote fair horse racing was because, at the end of last year, the Korea Racing Authority established a Fair Management Headquarters, and in January of this year, while re-evaluating the importance of self-regulatory efforts by racehorse officials and working to activate self-regulatory functions, the Trainers Association and the Jockey Association visited each other more than ten times to share the need for self-regulatory efforts by racehorse officials to prevent racehorse-related misconduct.

Unlike Thoroughbred, where production, training, and development are systematized, they are being put into racing at some point simply because they have reached an age.Because they come in without proper training, their expertise is lacking and accidents happen frequently.Even the horses’ running level drops. The ability is good, but the words and the deviation are also severe.Overall, the quality of the race is declining. Jeju horse racing is broadcast in Seoul and Busan, but there were also complaints from customers saying,
