Historically, the year of martial arts is a year when eventful events are completed and combined. It is called the Year of the Golden Dog!! It is a auspicious year because it is the year when soil and soil meet and mix with big soil like Musan and liquor. I hope that the Year of the Golden Dog Martial Arts will be a year of hope and development for everyone related to the horse industry. 2018 is also the year when the second five-year plan for the horse industry begins. The message from the Korea Horse Manufacturers Association to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs is that if the first horse industry plan was quantitative growth, the second horse industry plan is hoped to develop in the direction of qualitative growth.

The government's opaque horse industry policy is shrinking the horse industry's economic outlook and foundation, and the impact of our funeral industry is significant, and the funeral industry businesses and workers are also worried about the future industry's prospects. In order to dispel the concerns of farmers and horse industry-related workers, continuous support for the horse industry promotion policy, which has already been firmly established as the government's agricultural policy, is more urgent than ever. In 2018, we look forward to realizing a more active horse industry promotion policy so that the domestic horse industry base and rural horse industry conditions can be improved and actual income growth can be achieved for horse industry workers.

Nevertheless, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced in September 2017 that the government has been losing trust in the government and disappointing farmers and horse industry workers to delay the establishment of the second five-year comprehensive plan to foster the horse industry, which is stipulated by the law, without providing clear reasons for policy changes. In the absence of the announcement of the second five-year comprehensive plan to foster the horse industry by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the Korean Horse Association's Horse Industry Promotion Headquarters announced in September 2017 that it has divided the period into three stages every five years by 2030 to grow horse industry-related projects and set a budget of 3 billion won to create

If you work more than 15 hours a week, you can receive paid holidays and annual paid leave in accordance with the Labor Act and the Labor Standards Act, and you are eligible for severance pay. The KRA Korean Horse Association is adamant that in principle, matters related to personnel management and management rights are not subject to negotiations in response to the demands of the horseracing union. It also said, "We will do our best to improve working conditions or improve welfare, but it is difficult to accept the current excessive demands considering the government's compliance with policy directions and guidelines for public enterprises, wage levels with similar and similar industries, falling sales this year, and equity with other occupations in the workplace." On the 22nd, the KRA Korean Horse Association rearranged 184 unmanned vending machines and redeployed regular employees to minimize the inconvenience of horseracing fans' buying tickets following the strike by the horseracing union.

Last year, Choi Soon-sil's manipulation of state affairs, the impeachment of former President Park Geun Hye, and the election of President Moon Jae In led to a major crisis that will remain in our constitutional history. In addition, North Korea's successive nuclear tests and the launch of missiles such as ICBMs led to international security crises, including the U.S. and Japan, and economic crises caused by China's retaliation against THAAD, and it was a series of national challenges that could not be relieved internally and externally. Perhaps because of such domestic and international circumstances, the comprehensive plan to foster the horse industry, which is the central plan of the Korean horse industry, has not yet been finalized for various reasons,

Since August 16, the Korea Racing Authority and the KRA have negotiated a total of 15 main and working-level negotiations on 110 union requirements and 78 KRA requirements, but failed to narrow their differences, and negotiations were held through mediation by the National Labor Relations Commission on December 15, but negotiations broke down as they failed to reach an agreement, and the KRA eventually reported a strike on the 20th.The ticketing union demanded that the average weekly working hours be recognized as more than 15 hours (transition to employment types) reflecting actual working hours. This is a job in which ticket sales workers, who are part-time racers, only go to work on the day of the horse race to issue tickets and guide them, and they are ultra-short-time workers who currently work less than 15 hours per week because they work two days a week.

Horses start walking and running as soon as they are born, but humans do not exercise their exact motor functions until well over 10 years later. If you compare the horse industry promotion method to people, you will be just 8 years old when you enter elementary school next year. I think the current difficulty is a growing pain for the horse industry to grow and develop further. I hope that the people who wisely overcome the crisis will show interest and affection for the horse industry, the horse industry will take a powerful leap like horses in the new year, and that people with disabilities or difficulties in emotion and behavior will stand at the center of the horse industry to revitalize the rural economy and improve the quality of life for the people.

While the horse industry is rapidly emerging as a new growth engine for the rural economy and national economy, which have become difficult in the year of the horse race, the horse industry is concerned as another red flag comes into the horse race industry, which will be the cornerstone of fostering the horse industry.Opposition parties are again raising their voices against the plan to expand the branch to improve customer service, while civic groups are protesting the plan. In October last year, the organization planned to expand the Yongsan branch of the organization at 40-590 Han River-ro 3-ga to 16-48 Han River-ro 3-ga. However, although the building was completed at a huge cost, the opening date has been postponed as the public opinion of some civic groups and politicians deteriorated.

Based on these achievements, the Korea Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Association was established in 2013, and on December 22, 2017, the Korea Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Association received approval from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to establish a corporation. The Korea Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Association will unite related organizations, including related academic and educational organizations, rehabilitation horseback riding instructors and therapists, and various experts and workers in the horse industry, and will work together to develop and globalize Korea's rehabilitation horseback riding. In 2021, experts from various fields related to the horse industry are working together to attract the World Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Conference to Korea.

In addition, rehabilitation horseback riding for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder was found to be very effective in alleviating ADHD symptoms. It was easy to see the increase in the expression of opinions of ADHD children, active and pleasant, and social behaviors on the spot, and there was a judgment that rehabilitation horseback riding could be a new therapeutic method that could be combined with existing treatments in the treatment of ADHD. These achievements have been scientifically verified by contributing to international academic journals. Other researchers in Korea are also applying the rehabilitation horse riding program to various disorders such as ADHD, Internet game use disorder, and intellectual disability, and publishing positive research results.

There was a big event that will go down in history, and when the incident became public, I was embarrassed to think about how Korea would be seen on the world stage, but I am proud to think about all of our people who have overcome it wisely. What is unfortunate, however, is that despite the fact that it has been a year of passing by, which is newly writing history, the horse industry is still difficult in the aftermath of the incident. This is because the thorny path of the horse industry, which began when a horse was at the center of last year's historical event, seems to have continued this year. It is very sad to think about disabled children who sit on horses and smile happily on them that I met at the scene of rehabilitation riding.

Meanwhile, many people had to leave the racetrack on their own or due to industrial accidents or diseases. There was no way to improve the system. Competition was the priority. Whether it is voluntary or not, competition should stop. It is human nature that a good race horse can come out only when people are peaceful, safe and happy. Fortunately, the "plan to improve the employment structure of horse managers" signed last year by the participation of the two major labor unions, horse racing society, Euljiro committee, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs decided to hold a working-level committee for horse racing and discuss pending issues related to horse racing plans and practical affairs. It is hoped that communication between horse racing and horse racing-related organizations

Over the past 100 years, the Seoul Racecourse has improved the working conditions that senior managers and senior workers have been in poor condition one by one. It is not that they will not work and will do less, but that they should work while observing laws, regulations, and systems. It is said that employment, survival rights, and safety from industrial accidents of horse racing manager workers should be premised, and the Pukyong Racing Authority should also come within the boundaries. Anyway, another year has begun. This year, I hope the monster of "horse racing innovation" will be calmed down. No, the innovation that the horse racing society has unilaterally created should be completely blanked, and a new innovation plan that presupposes agony

test008

In particular, I hope that the government, horse racing society and local governments can create a cooperative system to improve domestic racing horse capabilities to advance the horse racing industry. In addition, given the lack of sufficient legal and budgetary support, I hope that the Government and the National Assembly will join forces to seek the integration of the Horse Association Act and the Horse Industry Promotion Act from a new perspective. By doing so, we need to remove obstacles that are holding back the development of the horse industry and wisely embrace areas that are at odds with other laws. To all the family members of the horse industry who are sweating for the development of the horse industry across the country,

However, as this has drifted amid the indifference of related organizations, I hope that the inauguration of the new horse society will be an opportunity to open a new horizon for the horse industry. In 2017, the Korean Society of Animal Resources and Science changed its name to the Korean Society of Animal Science and is becoming an active participant in the development of livestock in Korea. In line with the policy of expanding the horse industry special zone, which is to be additionally designated in 2018, the Horse Industry Research Association also intends to make an academic contribution to the development of the sound horse industry through mutual cooperation and convergence.

We will further increase the number of members of the Korean Horse Training Association and make it a year where we can have a focal point. The field of horse trainers is now a very important one in the horse industry. It plays a key role in both horse racing and horse racing. The level of horses is important, but depending on how they are trained, they may or may not be a gem. The Korean Horse Association is putting a lot of effort into teaching basic skills by inviting trainers from the Crane Horse Racing Club in Japan. Let's find out what we can do together at the Korean Horse Training Association. What we will do is important, but so is how we will do it. We will gather the wisdom of the members of the Korean Horse

This was helped by the media and broadcasting reports of bad events related to the horse industry. It is time to think a lot about how to overcome this crisis in the horse industry. Horse racing is putting a lot of effort into making a way for horse racing to become an international race, but compared to that effort, the effect is not that great yet. However, I think there will be consequences if you keep trying. Racing Media is also struggling with unexpected things this year, but I'm sure it will overcome them wisely. The Korean Horse Training Association, which I am in charge of, did not have much activity in 2017. It is true that due to various conditions, there were restrictions on activities. I hope that 2018 will be a year when we can remove all of these things one by one and pursue new changes.

Representative Kim Chul-min pointed out that the general agricultural and fishing village development project, which has spent a total of 13 trillion won so far, has been reduced to a nuisance due to the standing by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the achievement-oriented operation of local governments, and urged the government to come up with measures to improve agricultural and rural development quickly. He focused on issues close to people's lives, pointing out that food safety problems that threaten the public's health, such as the pesticide egg scandal, are constantly occurring in our society and emphasizing the urgent need to improve the egg distribution structure centered on GP centers to ensure food safety for the people.

Kim Hyun-kwon, who entered the 20th National Assembly as a proportional representative of farmers and fishermen of the Democratic Party of Korea, was praised for taking the lead in cleaning up the deep-rooted evils of the agricultural industry through his activities such as digging into the tyranny of livestock-affiliated companies and unfair practices, insensitivity to malpractice and embezzlement by the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives, and raising suspicions of corruption in overseas real estate investment by the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation. He was also praised for his outstanding performance in the maritime and fisheries sectors by pointing out problems such as whale congestion on the domestic coast, microplastic pollution, illegal fishing of squid on the east coast of Chinese fishing boats,

Park then wrote an autograph on Cho Tae-hyun's uniform with the phrase "National team, you can do it," creating a friendly atmosphere.The interview is about Cho Tae-hyun, who is pursuing his dream every day to participate in the Olympics, and Park Sang-young, a fencing player who supports his dream. Holt School students who came to the scene to cheer for Cho Tae-hyun are creating emotional communication and stability among students through the healing horse riding program. If I saw it meaninglessly, I could have thought that it was just catching fire, but the moment I ran with the torch, I got goosebumps all over my body. I felt like I was really starting the Olympics, and I also felt the excitement I felt two years ago. I also felt the pressure of the athletes who are practicing to participate in the Olympics and I felt the complicated emotions.

Among them, Cho Tae-hyun, who dreams of becoming a national equestrian athlete on behalf of the horseback riding world, drew attention as a runner. Cho Tae-hyun, who played as a torchbearer on the day, was running with Park Sang-young, a gold medalist in fencing in the Rio Olympics, and was seen chanting "I can do it." Students and parents from the same school came out to the scene of the Seonghwa Bongsong to cheer for them. It was like enjoying a festival of people around the world, waving banners and cheering sticks. Choi Myung-an, a teacher at Holt School who teaches Cho Tae-hyun, said, "It is an honor for my teaching student to participate in an international event, and I hope he will be a great friend based on today's feeling even after graduation.

Unlike the usual rigid atmosphere, the atmosphere of the inauguration ceremony was due to the expectation that he was the first horse leader appointed by the Moon Jae In government, and there were applause during the inauguration speech or loud answers to Chairman Kim Nak-soon's questions. Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who seemed to have recognized the situation in which his inauguration speech had no choice but to be "dignified," shook hands and talked with all employees in front of the lobby of the main building after the inauguration ceremony. "It is true that there were concerns that he was a parachute and a non-professional at the time of the inauguration, but listening to his inauguration speech today, he seems to be gaining strength to overcome our internal distrust

On the other hand, he said, "I will fully repay the employees who work hard, are creative, faithfully respond to the call of the state, and contribute to the people's interests on behalf of the state," and added, "Please support and support me generously when I meet your expectations." He also said, "The chairman protects the institution and organization, and the members of the organization trust and protect the chairman. That is what the Korean Horse Association promises to prosper the community." Finally, Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who said, "The Korean Horse Association will be different and should be different," said, "Let's all become the leaders of creating a new history of the Korean Horse Association with a confident attitude.

The second task can be concentrated as a response to the standardization of the horse racing industry. Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who said that even with global trends, generating profits through horse racing is difficult for the future, mentioned the crisis of closing the over-the-counter sales office. "As a top professional manager of the horse industry, I know that there are some concerns and voices of concern," said Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who revealed his career as a professional manager and a scholar of lectures and research on culture and arts at universities and said, "The CEO realized that the ability to present the right direction and solve problems is the first virtue." In particular, based on his experience as an aide to the first union leader of the National Assembly when the Standing Committee of the Labor Relations Commission

As soon as he took office, he said he would quickly begin to investigate each department's work. In fact, he reportedly received reports on each department's work on the day of his inauguration, last weekend, and until July 24. Most welcome news was that he stressed that he would "make sure that all possible areas of work are carried out in a transparent manner," recognizing that "the Korean Horse Association is neither an intelligence agency nor an institution that requires special security." He also said that this is the "shortcut to restoring trust to the public." Analysts say that the remarks were made with the problem of deteriorating the image of the Korean horse racing society and the horse industry, which was triggered by former chairmen cutting off or avoiding some media at the "advice" of some followers.
