It was a year marred by a series of suicides by horse racing officials and the decision to close over-the-counter sales centers in Daejeon and Yongsan. Despite the enormous social contribution of the horse racing industry, the negative public view of horse racing and the reality of Korean horse racing, which is gradually losing its place amid excessive government regulations, weigh heavily on our hearts even at this moment. As you can see, Korean horse racing has suffered greatly over the past few years, going through the throes of horse racing innovation. In the midst of a whirlwind of bone-cutting innovation, we have spent a fierce time for correct horse racing innovation, emphasizing that 'innovation without communication' can never succeed.

Whether you have an instructor who is an athlete or a horse in front of you, the facilities and atmosphere are not consumer-oriented. Other leisure sports, including golf, are already breaking away from those aspects of the past. The horseback-riding industry is the same as in the past, with facilities being developed mainly by customers and events, programs, and communication services are provided. As mentioned earlier, you should not say anything negative about other horse-riding courses, but rather find your own characteristics and colors. For consumers who choose everything in the palm of their hands in the mobile era, it makes no sense to just say that we are the best horse-riding courses. How much you service is more important. You can't do everything, so you need to find something special.

Although the goal of integrated racing and entering Part II of Korean racing has been achieved, there is still insufficient support for the improvement of racehorses and the stable establishment of the production base, so I am concerned that the racehorses production industry, which is the basis of horse racing, will become an unstable house of thought.Looking at the unprecedented situation, such as the postponement of the CSAT due to last year's Pohang earthquake, the horse industry has not had a strong production base and is designed to withstand the thought that it could collapse in a moment. We look back on Korea's horse industry policy once again, and we hope that the completion of Part II and the era of natural Part I will come with the production of domestic horses that surpasses foreign horses

Last year is remembered as a year that was truly eventful and difficult until the earthquake and fire disaster at the end of the year, in addition to the nation's anxiety caused by the national manipulation of state affairs, the impeachment of the president, and the nuclear provocation of North Korea. As the horse racing industry experienced a series of deaths of horse racing officials, voices for improved working conditions, and the rare occurrence of special labor supervision, I hope that the horse racing industry, including the horse racing business, is generally cold and exhausted. I hope that 2018 will be a year that has turned around with a new start like the sun of hope, as if we are exiting a dark tunnel.

The Saemangeum Joint Production Promotion Complex, which the association is ambitious to create a joint production and promotion complex for racehorses by drastically reducing management costs and producing and fostering excellent racehorses in 800 ha of Saemangeum Agricultural Life Zone 6-2 and promoting the sustainable development of racehorses and Korean horse racing, has been reflected in the "Second Comprehensive Plan for the Promotion of the Horse Industry" organized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, showing that the desperate hopes and hard work of officials inside and outside the association has not been in vain. Our association promises that we will work together to build a rock for the production of excellent domestic racehorses

Inland horses are efficiently using Let's Run Farm Jangsu's grasslands, and training has been possible regardless of weather conditions on the 400-meter indoor road of Let's Run Farm Jangsu, which was completed earlier this year. In a special race for the Breeze-up auction horse held at Let's Run Park Seoul on August 20 this year, inland horses' race power is being improved, with "Icheon Rice" and "Pulling Hands" ranked first and second. If you come to the inland domestic horse auction held in May, July, and October 2018, under the support of Let's Run Farm Jangsu, you will be able to meet high-quality horses produced and nurtured by producers and Let's Run Farm Jangsu at a foam-removed price, so please pay active attention and participate.

Golf, also known as a nearby leisure sport, is making good use of this point. In the past, golf instructors who taught golf pushed and taught golf customers, claiming that they were former players. However, as golf became more popular and more widespread, the golf market grew and competed. In addition, as consumers' understanding of golf has improved, the industry has now changed to be more customer-oriented than named. It would be okay if the horseback riding industry paid a little attention and followed it, but they do not make such efforts. These are the reasons why I first started my major in Horse Industry Management at the Graduate School of Industrial Science. First of all, facility operation and development, marketing, distribution, services, events, and program planning are necessary for consumers. The consumer market is activated only when it is centered on consumers, and the current horse racing industry is centered on the horse racing course, not the consumer.

With most farmers experiencing sales cliffs due to the liberalization of imports of foreign horses and the concentration of the top prize money, which has been in the market since the implementation of the horse racing innovation plan in 2015, it is desperately necessary to introduce a subsidy support system for closure to preserve some of the investment in grasslands and facilities and to prepare for new livelihoods when limited racehorse production farms close down. The revitalization of auctions organized by a credible association can no longer be delayed in order to ensure transparency in the distribution structure of racehorses and to form a fair market value for racehorses between many sellers and buyers.

The government's opaque horse industry policy is shrinking the horse industry's economic outlook and foundation, and the impact of the Korean market is significant in the Jangje industry, and the Jangje industry and workers are also worried about the future of the industry. In order to address the concerns of farmers and horse industry-related workers, continuous support for the horse industry promotion policy, which has already been firmly established by the government's agricultural policy, is more urgent than ever. In 2018, we hope that a more active horse industry promotion policy will be realized so that the domestic horse industry base and the conditions of the horse industry in rural areas can be improved and the actual income growth of horse industry workers can be achieved.

Nevertheless, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has been delaying the establishment of the "Second Five-Year Comprehensive Plan for the Promotion of the Horse Industry," which is stipulated by law, without providing clear reasons for policy changes, is a loss of trust in the government and disappointing farmers and horse industry workers. Moreover, in September 2017, the Korean Horse Industry Promotion Headquarters announced that it had set a budget of 3 billion won for the growth of horse industry-related projects with the goal of creating 200,000 horse-riding populations every five years by 2030, with the aim of dividing the period into three stages every five years.

Perhaps because of such domestic and international circumstances, the comprehensive plan for fostering the horse industry, which is the central plan of the Korean horse industry, has not yet been finalized for various reasons and has passed the first year of 2017, even though it is to be established every five years under the Horse Industry Promotion Act. On the other hand, there are reports that Choi Soon-sil's daughter Jeong Yu-ra's horse riding preferential treatment caused the case of illegal admission to Ewha Womans University. However, the Horse Industry Promotion Act was formulated by the government in 2011 as an alternative to increasing income in rural areas at the expense of the agricultural sector in order to strengthen the export competitiveness of the manufacturing industry.

Additionally, it is necessary to provide and market services at the appropriate level. Related institutions should establish standards for industrial standardization, and educational institutions, such as schools, should actively develop educational programs to provide standardized services to consumers. Only then can the overall image of the horse industry rise and develop. If you go to the horserace, you are in a hurry to undermine other horse racetracks, claiming that they are the best and nowhere else. However, it is about cutting my flesh. Rather, you should be equipped with basic facilities such as changing rooms and showers, and you should align them one by one through a facility or route configuration that allows you to see the accompanying people riding.

Volunteers who participate in the class focus on helping the rider by leading the horse or walking next to the horse. It is said that rehabilitation horseback riding will be expanded and distributed mainly in public horse riding sites in the new year, so why don't we share warm hearts and exercise through volunteering? The Industrial Promotion Act was implemented at the end of 2011, and the second five-year plan will be announced soon. It is thought that it will be a timely prescription for horse industry sites in difficult situations. 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.

The subjects of the master's course will be mainly horse racing leaders and business operators in the horse industry, and workers of related organizations or associations. Leaders are all athletes and instructors. Those who will run a business are essential. Each person's expertise can be further enhanced through in-depth classes in the master's course, and after graduation, they can use what they have learned in the front line. Market analysis specialized in the 'horse industry', identification of consumer behavior, and various marketing and services will be useful in the field. Perhaps in the future, graduate school graduates will play a role in leading and leading the horse industry. Of course not me. I will invite the best people in the horse industry to teach. Someone who has both skills and awareness. As it is a graduate program, it will be a master's degree or higher. Some may question that there is no curriculum.

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.

Through the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, children with brain lesions participating in the rehabilitation horse riding program have not only enjoyed participation and confidence every hour, but also improved joint movement and strengthened muscle strength, leading to very positive results for posture correction and walking ability. 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.

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. Korea's rehabilitation horse began as a social and public interest project at Samsung Electronics Hiking Troupe in 2001. I participated in the operation of the rehabilitation horse riding program with a light heart that allows children with brain lesions to have a different experience as an event,

Lee hopes to become the best priest in Korea. Lee said, "There is no better job if I have good skills because of the prospects." Lee said, "When I see a horse with a horseshoe that was completed after hard work walking comfortably, I can relieve all my fatigue."There have been two ways for Jang to acquire a certificate through a national qualification test or a training course for the Korean Horse Association. It was possible to acquire a racehorse costume after going through a national qualification test, and to acquire a license through a training course for the Korean Horse Association. Recently, however, the Korean Horse Association's own qualification test has been abolished, allowing only those who passed the national qualification test to participate in the event. If Jang acquires a certificate through the national qualification test, he or she can ride a horse and racehorse as well.

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 will be facilitated and voices of the field can be properly reflected in the system.

Horses are the only animals that wear shoes. The horseshoe is not just a protective gear but is also directly related to the health and performance of the race. Now that job creation is the biggest topic, Jang Je-sa, an indispensable profession in the horse industry, is attracting young people's attention as a promising profession. Jang Je-sa, who was regarded as a difficult, dirty and dangerous 3D profession in the past, is recognized as a special profession in the horse industry. A growing number of young people are viewing it as a "promising job" that others have not chosen.In particular, it is a rare job that only about 80 people are currently working in Korea due to its professional specificity. There are 65 certified Korean Horse Racing Authority officials, and there are many freelancers who are unofficially active in general horse racing courses.

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.
