Unfortunately, the horse racing industry itself is not connected to the general society and there are few related industries, so I am an expert here, but there is nothing to do if I quit. I think it's a big problem. I hope the horse industry itself will settle down. I also hope that all fields, including horse racing, horse riding, rehabilitation, production, and fostering, will be systematically established. The purpose of the fellowship is pure. It includes visiting employees during family events. It has been a long time since the association was established, but it has not been registered as a non-profit corporation.

Lectures that combine theory and know-how from field experience are being conducted. The union was formed with the will to develop the horse industry, but there are difficulties due to a number of real problems. First of all, the legal system needs to be improved. For example, there is a problem with horse riding insurance, and insurance premiums vary from company to company and it is expensive. There are limitations to the current law in building a horse riding course in the grassland. As such, there are many sorrows and sorrows at the horse riding center in Jeju. Therefore, he is receiving policy advice from a lawyer and a former mayor of Seogwipo as outside directors of the union. He has appointed Gil Yong-woo, an actor, as a public relations ambassador and is also trying to revitalize the union.

While preparing for my master's degree thesis, I newly learned that medical insurance is provided in Italy, but it's a pity that it's not possible under our conditions yet. I think everything is doing well. What is particularly proud of is that it has laid the foundation for the development of the horse racing industry by learning about systems that cannot be found anywhere in Korea through foreign materials, study abroad, and business trips. Previously, most of the horses were foreign, but now they have institutionalized domestic horses to be more than 70 percent, and they have held the Asian Horse Racing Conference

It is a great honor for me to join the company as a high school graduate, go to college and graduate school, and even become a vice president. I have been in the horse industry for about 40 years, serving as the head of the Healing Center for three years and eight months, and as the chairman of the Massadongwoo Association since January 2016. I am married and my children have grown up, and I am working as a professor and accountant in foreign countries. To me, the horse society is my second home, and I feel very attached to it.

In other words, the money earned from the horse racing industry is providing enormous support for raising cattle and pigs. With the recent implementation of the Horse Industry Promotion Act, despite the need for enormous finances to revitalize the horse industry, which is highly likely to succeed as the sixth industry, if all of the special reserves of the horse society are incorporated into the horse development fund and operated as the national budget, financial support will still be limited to a small portion of the relatively small horse industry. In addition, the horse society has been carrying out various projects for fostering the horse industry and social return projects with special reserves, but as they are included in the government's budget system in the future, there is a high probability that the horse society will lose the initiative in the project.

Team leader Jang said that the pre-announcement of the rating will make the weight of handicap between registered horses predictable, and that the rating itself is a quantification of the difference in race horse capabilities.Pukyong police officers were inundated with questions about the handicap race implementation plan based on ratings, with many asking if they could guarantee the objectivity and professionalism of handicappers. In response, team leader Jang Byung-woon stressed that all handicappers are doing their best, saying that ratings will be given based on objective facts such as race records and distance differences between race horses.

Lastly, I hope that the news of the production farm will be communicated through racing media. The Hallama Producers Association will also try to promote the situation and activities of the association and production farmers through racing media. 2018 marks the 20th anniversary of racing media, and it is the first year that "Hallama", a passenger horse brand of the Hallama Producers Association, will be launched as a pedigree. I hope that the 20th anniversary of the founding of racing media in 2018 will also be accompanied by the Hallama Producers Association's launch event.

He also presented tips for efficient auction participation, the main points for observing bridging-ups, the main points for the horse body test, and the main points for the asking price through the experience in real situations, which were well received.

Secondly, racing media's racing means racing and horse racing, so there is a concern that racing media's reports and materials will focus only on horse racing. When we start talking about horses in the current Korean society, it is virtually true that we think of horse racing first. However, horse racing has a limited number of people who enjoy it, and concerns about its gambling have also been raised. Therefore, we ask you to introduce more articles on horse racing, which can expand the breadth of people who enjoy horses indefinitely. From the standpoint of a horse producer, it is meaningful to sell or rent a horse for a high price,

As a horse breeder, I would like to congratulate the chairman of the Producers Association and ask for his words. First of all, racing media means mediation and broadcasting. I hope that it will be a good communication channel between horses and humans, those who know horses, those who don't know horses, those who don't ride horses, those who don't ride horses, those who race horses and those who don't race horses.

Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, to take the reins once again and work together to pave the way for a new leap forward so that the horse industry, including horse racing, can establish itself as a new growth engine as soon as possible. The management difficulties of inland racehorse producers are also more serious than ever. The liberalization of imports of foreign horses has reduced the purchasing power of domestic horses, and the auction market is still cold. It is urgent to revitalize auctions organized by credible associations to ensure transparency in the distribution structure of racehorses and to form a fair market value for racehorses between many sellers and buyers.

Despite the efforts of the horse racing community, various regulations that are not seen in other horse racing countries are pouring out. This is a concern as it is weakening the horse racing community's efforts to advance horse racing. In addition, the Korean Horse Association's ambitious innovation plan for change and reform is also hampering the development of horse racing. The horse racing community should also join forces to cope with this, and the Horse Racing Culture Newspaper should take the lead in creating a healthy advanced horse racing by gathering correct public opinion and presenting a future-oriented mature vision.

If these people fall into horseback riding, they can contribute to the development of horseback riding in the form of sponsorship. In the case of grassroots horse riding competitions promoted by the Korean Horse Racing Association, the purpose is also good, so if you attract businessmen, you can naturally have a sponsorship to promote your company. In addition, training, field trips, and programs for businessmen in places like the Korean Horse Racing Association's Let's Run Farm Jangsu or the external riding course of each local government will be very popular. And they can not only expand the base of horseback riding but also return to reinvestment for the industry.

Racing Media CEO Kim Moon-young, who presented the race, pointed out that the current military system needs to be completely reorganized through a comparison of the race system between Seoul and Pukyong, and argued that horse racing competitions should be improved to a system tailored to individual characteristics. Regarding the distribution of prize money in the ranking, it should be faithful to the fundamental nature of horse racing, which is the loss of the championship, but this forces the sacrifice of the opponents, and said that the profit-making part should gradually increase for the development of the horse racing industry. In conclusion, Kim said that the biggest difference in the system between Seoul and Pukyong can be summarized as stable operation and infinite competition, and argued that the only answer to resolving various conflicts between Seoul and Pukyong is to unify all implementation systems.
