It may be a funnier process than a special occasion. I graduated from high school when I was 20 years old and worked part-time at a PC room while attending university. At that time, the owner of the PC room said, "Your physique is perfect for jockey." But I didn't know the job of jockey. Growing up in Hampyeong, Jeollanam-do, I didn't even know there was horse racing. I didn't fit my college aptitude, and when I turned 23 when I had to work, I thought I should work. But I wasn't confident. Due to my small physique and lack of learning, I suddenly remembered what the boss said when I worked part-time at an internet cafe. I started to look for a job as a jockey on the Internet. I accidentally found out the homepage of the Jockey Association. It was around November 2003, but the recruitment was made in a hurry the following year. I didn't recognize it at the time at the recommendation of the boss, but I remembered it later, so I entered the candidate list at a late age.

Currently, almost all of the funeral services in our association have qualified, and new friends who came to learn the funeral service are planning to get them this year. I know that all of the existing funeral services in the horse society took exams last year. After our association takes the exam this year, all of them will be finished. And young people who want to learn the real funeral service will be able to qualify sequentially. The pyramid-style qualification structure is the best for the oldest funeral service that has been held for more than 30 years, but it is currently reversed. This is because young friends have one-time certificates, and seniors have four to five-time certificates.

It seems that it was the beginning before and after the industrial fair at the end of last year. The 4th Mal Industry Fair was held at KINTEX in Ilsan, and 20 million won was supported for funeral-related events. Until then, the atmosphere between the two organizations was very good. However, the Jangje Association within the Horse Association bought a booth within KINTEX from our association and asked us to run a booth with the Jangje Association within the Horse Association. I decided that it was a good idea, so I tried to do so, but the operator said that it was not possible to use a gas container or fireplace indoors. Then, there was a horse riding competition in Gyeonggi-do, and a request was made to set up a funeral booth next to the venue

Until last year, the association did not request assistance, but this year, for the first time, it requested assistance from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. When I entered the Ministry of Agriculture with plans such as funeral education, funeral association, and funeral training, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry responded that there were not one or two associations under its jurisdiction, and that all associations could not provide the support they wanted. It is a matter of course and true. Still, when I asked if there was any way to provide even a part of the support, the association said that it was difficult because there was no legal basis for immediate support, and he said it would be difficult to share subsidies in the funeral sector among the budget of the Horse Association.

He didn't miss out on the effects and functions of horseback riding. "The best exercise for one's mental and physical health is horseback riding," he said, stressing that many people consider it only a high-end sport, but it should be popularized. When I visited Italy, I saw a private horse riding center and horse-riding facilities, and the members said it was impressive that they rode horses for their own sport. You have to give attention and love to horses. In fact, raising horses is more fun than riding horses. If you give them love, they are closer than friends. Horses are the closest pets to people. At one point, I used to wake them up by playing music in the morning when I had a horse.

Koo also said he hopes Haman, his hometown and hometown, will develop into a specialized horse industry city. An external riding course in Namgang-myeon will also be established, and it will be used for a sunflower festival where 300,000 tourists visit in July, and an endurance competition will be possible. Whenever he visits Haman County Horseback Riding Park, he brings not only carrots for his horses but also snacks for his employees. This is to express gratitude to the employees here for their hard work for the county residents. Asked what is another advantage of Haman-gun Horse Racing Park, he summed it up with "no sick words." Some of the horses that were supported are not suitable for beginners

From my point of view, I think I have more advantages than disadvantages. The disadvantages are that I earn less than in Busan and don't see my family often. I have less mental and physical burden than in Pukyong. I am currently satisfied with my life in Seoul. Most of them were achieved last year. Before riding horses in Group 19, I had hardly won a horse race, but I think I have achieved many things as a jockey by riding good horses through my relationship with assistant teacher Kim Young-kwan. It is not common for a jockey to win nine horse races in a year, and most of what I want to achieve has been achieved. If I have a dream, I want to win the Grand Prix and the Presidential Cup. Of course, it will not be easy. My future dream is to run for a long time as a jockey. I don't have any intention to become an assistant teacher, and I want to run for a long time without getting hurt.

One of my horses called "Triple Five" participated in the competition, but the horse's performance was not good since then. He had a two-month vacation due to poor racing performance in October and November. Perhaps because of such experience, he was not happy to participate in international competitions overseas, and he instantly became reluctant to participate. So when I asked what horses would participate in Korea, he said that they would include "Power Blade," "Main Stay," "Department Demention," and "Seoul Bullitt." "Triple Nine" is a Korean representative horse that has been selected as a representative horse for two consecutive years,

Japan has no direct support for the horseback riding industry at all. Currently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry or the horse society is investing a lot for the development of horseback riding, but I think that could be counterproductive. The market should leave it to the market. Honestly, it is difficult to run a horse riding course. However, amid such difficulties, the market must research, develop and develop it. This means that front-line horse riding courses should not be obsessed with supporting. If you give me support, I will have a hard time teaching each member of the horse riding to make money, and I will try to go comfortably with the government's support. What can I do if I say that I will stop supporting you right away

Its main purpose is to transform a Thoroughbred designed for running into a horseback riding. It is to learn how to train horses so that people can run comfortably and safely. High-class training will be conducted from next year, the fourth year of the race. In order for the Thoroughbred, which was used as a racehorse, to be converted into a dressage horse, I also learned dressage from Serimachi. Instructor Serimachi is also the coach for the Japanese national team and a very famous person in Japan. The hurdle is also taught by athletes who compete in the Rio Olympics. In Korea, students bring their money and learn from experts who are qualified to learn.

And the players said no to Thoroughbred. However, when I saw a Japanese instructor change the term to a dressage horse with Thoroughbred, I became interested in it. So when I went there and saw it in person, it really turned out to be a fairy tale. So I started going to the Japanese crane riding center for training three years ago. It was very difficult. Still, I had a goal, so I kept learning it. Serimachi instructor was born in the year of the dog in 58 and he scolded me a lot while teaching me. There were times when I was young, but I wondered why I had to be scolded and returned home. However, with the strong will of Koreans, I put up with it and worked hard to achieve my goal. I tried hard to be supportive to young Japanese players.

There, I am receiving professional training from instructor Yoshidaka Serimachi.The purpose is to prepare for new changes. Youth horseback riding is in the early stages of riding in Korea, so it is the mainstream, but I think it will develop into professional horseback riding such as dressage and obstacles. Until now, many people in Korea have enjoyed endurance sports with only horses riding in the Mongolian style, but it is believed that dressage and obstacles will be in the spotlight in the future. In short, it will change from 'beolma' to 'horse riding'. There are not many dressage horses in Korea right now. And there are no people who can teach dressage. I thought this was the strategy for the future and started learning dressage.

First, I went to the local police station and the education office to learn about horse riding. And we talked a lot about the effects of horse riding and ways to contribute to the local community through horse riding. In the process, the local community gradually began to pay attention to it, and it received a great response from the student horse riding. Six years ago, I consistently insisted on running a horse riding business with a small horse. Others said that Hallama was stubborn and said no, but I ran the horse riding ground because I said not to be funny. At the time, I didn't have a single love red. In the end, I proved myself right.

I was going to check him out, exhausting his power, and I was going to win the "main stay" after saving my power. However, the horse was weak after passing three corners. People say what happened because they didn't do good deeds after watching this, but you can tell by watching the race video. "Freddie-formeroy" is not a word that necessarily goes to a good deed and wins. In fact, it was not easy to decide. Many people asked me why I had to go to Seoul and suffer when I have a family in Busan and I am riding a horse well and making a lot of money there. I talked a lot with my wife and discussed a lot with her assistant teacher, Kim Young-kwan. The company also suggested that we come to Seoul and change the atmosphere, so I moved to another city. It's been about a month now and it's fun. It was hard because I couldn't get used to it for the first two weeks. But I'm fine now that I'm used to it.

Horse racing is clearly distinguished from the general gambling industry because it is included in the horse industry and the national infrastructure is established. It is clear that if horse racing is activated by increasing the horse racing refund rate and resuming the sale of Internet betting tickets, which has been blocked since 2009, the horse racing industry will naturally be revitalized. I hope many horse racing fans will pay attention. If 150,000 horse racing enthusiasts must also pay a lot of attention to it, otherwise it will be impossible to realize it. I ask that you actively participate and pay attention to find the minimum rights of horse racing fans.On the 4th, a policy proposal signed by 900 horse racing enthusiasts for the development of horse racing

Popular horses have improved their performance to some extent, compared to non-popular horses. His strong handling of the horse made him gain popularity. As I won the horse race and reached the top position, and assistant teacher Kim Young-kwan was also the best assistant teacher, I heard a lot of bad things. You're a standard-bearer of Article 19, you'll see me in the race, etc. The assistant teachers didn't tell me directly, but they heard it indirectly. Actually, it's not me. If I didn't ride a horse of Article 19 and the other horse was at the end of Article 19, I really wanted to win and tried to win. However, as a result, I often lost to a horse of Article 19. So I was misunderstood a lot. I told my assistant teacher Kim Young-kwan that I would win. He said he was confident of winning, but when he ran in the race, he often lost.

If the horse racing industry is revitalized by improving the environment and culture of horse racing so that it can be enjoyed as a leisure, the horse industry will also be revitalized. I think the revitalization of the horse industry will also be of great help to our society. First of all, I think it would be great if the next government could listen to the demands of horse racing fans and reflect them in the legislation. Many people, including horse racing fans, signed it, and I hope that the next government will make horse racing a leisure with the will of those who signed it. Above all, I hope that the day will come when I can resolve the negative image of horse racing and enjoy it as a leisure.

Currently, Korea's horse racing refund rate is 73 percent, which is too low for the OECD average. In Japan alone, it is 75.1 percent, and in Hong Kong, it is 78.1 percent. In the case of the U.K. and Australia, the rate is 89 percent. Korea pays too much tax. In addition, there are many horse racing taxes, including a 100 percent increase in admission fees, a 100 times double taxation, and a 2 million won refund. This is why the tax on horse racing should be cut. It also calls for conducting online betting. The smartphone penetration rate in Korea is over 90 percent. Reissuing online tickets should allow people to enjoy horse racing anywhere with just a smartphone.

Amid the negative view of horse racing, racers are being misunderstood too much. This is not the case. Horse racing is a sport that can be enjoyed as a leisure. The reason for this occasion today is to improve the negative image that people perceive as gambling, even though horse racing can be enjoyed enough as a leisure. In addition, it is to create a forum for public debate on tax issues and reintroduction of online ticket sales, which are disadvantageous to our horse racing fans. The online ticket sales were discontinued in 2009, but I thought that such a forum would be necessary to implement online sales again.
