Expo, in fifth rendition of fair, is nation¡¯s largest horse industry exhibition
The 2018 Horse Industry Expo, which took place at SETEC in Gangnam, southeastern Seoul, from Nov. 16 to 18, served as an opportunity to enjoy diverse exhibitions, performances and horse riding experiences.
Horse Industry Expo, which made its debut in 2010, is the nation¡¯s largest horse industry exhibition. The 2018 Horse Industry Expo, the fifth one held, was organized by Korea Racing Authority (KRA) and hosted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (MAFRA).
The venues of the 2018 Horse Industry Expo were SETEC and LetsRun Park Seoul.
Exhibitions, transactions and an international symposium took place at SETEC, while events such as horse performances, teenagers¡¯ horse racing championship and homegrown young horse competitions were held at the LetsRun Park Seoul.
A total of 100 exhibitors participated in exhibitions to market diverse items such as horse leisure sport products and pharmaceutical products. Spectators were given the chance to experience horse riding and feed ponies as well as enjoy excited experiences such as the coloring of wooden dolls and making horseshoes.
One thousand spectators, who were interested in horse racing, but could not afford to buy tickets, were given a 50 percent discount for five horse racing round tickets. Youth were given a space to submit job seeking applications as job creation has become a much talked about topic of society.
The LetsRun Park Seoul was the venue of diverse horse culture performances, including a cowboy horse racing show, a horse parade, and a ponies¡¯ performance. KRA Chairman Kim Nak-soon said, ¡°Much efforts have been made so far to offer spectators unforgettable joys and provide industry people with opportunities to share growth.¡±
