The horse industry is a sixth industry that encompasses production and processing, development and distribution, healthcare, and welfare and tourism. In many ways, it is expected that the horse industry will play a pivotal role in attracting tourists and young people to farming and fishing villages, which are struggling in many ways. In addition, it is a blue ocean industry that contributes to job creation and vitalization of the local economy, and one that can give hope to farming and fishing villages. Looking at the future of the horse industry, which will become a hot topic only when the national income reaches 30,000 dollars, we need to make more active efforts to cultivate professional manpower.

Compared to the initial 3:4 ratio, the ratio is not proportional. In addition, Seoul is a non-open race, and Busan is an open race. I think we should open all of them and go to an open race. We can coexist only when we abandon our vested rights and integrate the race. The plan to implement horse racing next year is in full swing, and I think the prize money system in Seoul should be fixed first. In the case of Seoul, the prize money is wrong. In the case of this Korea Sprint, the competition ended on September 9 and the prize money did not come out until October 5. As Seoul monopolizes the prize money, Busan has no choice but to go on strike without receiving proper incentives.

Myeonju Market is also expected to open. Gumi, where horse racing occurred naturally, is widely opening up the Myeonju Market, and Asia is also expanding its opening. In the case of Hong Kong, face-to-face registration is possible without restricting nationality, and Japan is also operating foreigners' face-to-face with certain qualifications.In the early stages of opening the market, the Korea Racing Authority plans to set the opening rate step by step through performance analysis after piloting about 15 people, or 2% of the current market size.

Having walked on a path for a lifetime, I could feel that he was full of joy, pride, passion, and consideration throughout the interview. At that time, the society was not in an atmosphere that recognized the face-to-face association.

First, we will strengthen public-private cooperation research to put the original technology for localization of foot-and-mouth disease vaccines into practical use at an early stage, and build a new BL3 facility specializing in the diagnosis of foot-and-mouth disease. In addition, we will promote the development of AI bio-toxic vector vaccines and the certification of avian influenza OIE standard laboratory to establish AI prevention technology. We will strive to develop technology to respond to diseases that are less productive in livestock farms and establish two-way channels with diagnostic institutions nationwide, and build a new quarantine laboratory facility to promote research on honeybee diseases.

In order to establish the basis for the application of the rating system, the Korea Racing Authority will first implement the first-tier handicap race, which clearly reveals the racing ability of the race, and the second-tier race will be implemented in November, when the race horse rating is expected to stabilize. The rating will be announced on the Korea Racing Authority website and today's race, and the announcement will be made before 5 p.m. every Wednesday, divided into "general rating," which includes the rating of racehorses registered as racehorses in the 1st and 2nd groups, and "weekly rating change details," which includes changes in the rating of the race horse in Jeonju. Although not confirmed, the plan to strengthen the competitiveness of Korean racehorses, which is envisioned by the Korea Racing Authority, includes the introduction of excellent horses and the establishment of an industrial feedback system for horse racing sales.

Unfortunately, however, it has not yet been aired for general broadcasting due to the limitations of the broadcasting station's perception of horses. This is also the reason why the cooperation between the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the main body of the horse industry, and the Korean Horse Association is regrettable.The year 2019 is the middle of the second five-year plan to foster the horse industry, and efforts such as youth horseback riding to popularize the horse industry should continue, as well as strengthen their own formal league horse-riding competitions for subsidies and use, and spread public efforts that the whole nation is interested in.

While the second five-year plan for fostering the horse industry has been partially successful in two years at the end of 2018, the year of the golden pig has passed and the new year of the year has come again, which has not been able to overcome the limitations of improving awareness of the horse industry as a whole. In 2018, the Korean Federation of Horse Industries tested and implemented various contents to improve awareness of the right horse culture and to test the win-win model of interacting with the general public to spread the base of the horse industry.

In particular, horse racing sales have continued to slow down even though the number of races and the number of days released has increased since 2002, and the horse racing population has also been reorganized mainly for enthusiasts due to a sharp drop in new customers, down 42 percent in 10 years. An official from the Korea Racing Authority said, "Korea Racing Authority has reached the limit of race supply by continuing to increase the number of days released, and the quality of racing has deteriorated due to the expansion of the race supply, which has led to a drop in horse racing demand, resulting in a drop in horse racing's business performance, which eventually leads to a vicious cycle of expanding the race supply again," explaining the background of the race system reform, saying that essential approaches for innovation across horse racing are urgently needed to break the vicious cycle.

Equestrian facilities are all horse-use facilities, and most horse-riding facilities are not just horse-use facilities for consumers, but are also horse-producing, nurturing, and training institutions. The main purpose and activities are the same wherever the approval authority is. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs needs to embrace the horse-riding facilities without separating them. This is a time when professional manpower is very scarce, and it is an important time for the horse industry. Since the skill of training horses is not a simple skill, farmers who simply produce horses cannot solve this part alone. Since we do not have many such manpower yet, we need harmony rather than sharing.

"This symposium will not only suggest the direction of the development of the domestic horse industry, but it will also serve as an opportunity for Gyeongbuk Province and Yeongcheon City to become the leading local governments in the horse industry in name and reality," said Son In-rak, president of the Yeungnam Ilbo, in his opening speech. Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Yoo In-hong, who will give an invitation lecture, called for the government policy of the horse industry and the role of local governments under the theme of "Creative Convergence and Development of the Horse Industry and Tourism and Leisure Industry."

I believe it is a desirable idea to build a policy control tower for each local government through the center. The policy control of the production, fostering, and training of horses, which are livestock, is necessary to create an efficient management system in which horse riding facilities and farmers can quickly share information and receive what they need through regional cooperatives that have already established branches. Recognizing that reckless competition among these industries rather hinders growth, we need to induce a campaign of harmony and co-prosperity. In addition, public relations should be carried out to overcome the negative image of horseback riding.

In order for the agendas presented through the discussion to be applied to actual industries, it is necessary to analyze successful advanced overseas cases and ask for help from overseas experts if necessary. Looking at the successful case of France that we benchmarked, the central government led the way to control the industry collectively during the transition period, separate operation of specialized agencies under its jurisdiction, and establishment of various policies for each sector have achieved the results of rebuilding the entire industry. In particular, we systematized children's education to increase future consumption demand, and as a result, we succeeded in establishing a very satisfactory riding industry.

Since the enactment of the Industrial Promotion Act at the end of 2011, the horse industry has grown rapidly due to the efforts of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, but has gone through a transitional period in recent years. I think this time is not a recession but a period of leap forward. As we believe that the period of leap forward will soon enter the maturity period, we believe that what we need most is the training of professional manpower before going to the stage of stabilization. Industrial training through specialized institutions is essential so that professional manpower with basic education can be directly put into the actual industry.

While promoting this year's project, the Jeju Horse Festival with the International Horse Industry Expo 2014 will be held in Jeju City, The Hotel, Let's Run Park and Jeju. We have prepared a variety of programs, including inviting officials from the horse industry in Turkmenistan, Australia, and Japan, conducting a grand race, and holding an international symposium. We also invite Japanese experts to bring attention to citizens through rehabilitation riding experiences. We also display industrial products such as mayu and horse meat cloth, and we expect more than 20,000 visitors.

Now that I'm three years old, I'm wondering if I should run next year at the horserace. If not, I'm thinking about how it would be to retire and become a seed horse and crossbreed with the 'Triple Nine'. It's a volatile idea because it's a plan. I've only been seeing each other for 10 years now, but I think it's wrong to buy a seed horse from a foreign country at a high price so that the horses of a specific boomer can monopolize the race. I think it would be better to raise a horse like 'Triple Nine' in a policy manner in the horserace community. It's an unrealistic story, but I sometimes think about whether it would be okay to donate 'Triple Nine' to the horse community.

The purchase cap for male and female horses, which had been set at $30,000, will be abolished, while restrictions on the trading market will also be abolished. In the case of mares, the introduction of foreign race horses is also planned to be allowed. The introduction of male and female horses to compete will be allowed around 2018. Meanwhile, the Korean Horse Association plans to allow only 25% of the total number of foreign horses to be introduced in order to solve the difficulties of domestic horse production farmers due to the abolition of the upper limit on the introduction of foreign horses. In other words, the government will abolish the upper limit for the introduction of foreign horses and thoroughly restrict the operation of foreign horses to prevent them from turning a blind eye to domestic horses that are lagging behind due to the implementation of the integrated mountain racing and the introduction of the rating system.

There are many differences from 'Triple Nine', but I think the future of 'Malibu Sun' is also good and I'm thinking about following it. There used to be a mare called 'Dolphin Lady' and it became a mare after retirement. There were only three male horses crossed with 'Ecton Park', and the last one was 'Four Nines', 'Black Arrow' and the last one was 'Forever Young'. I did a driving test yesterday, and I don't know how it will be going forward. The Blue Flag, which is in the second division, is a very expensive horse that has studied in the U.S. for a year and participated in all major mare races, but my grades are not good yet. I did well in general racing.

Currently, there is a recreational tea in Jangsu, but Gujeolitis needs to be treated more, and there is a problem with the seed bone, so it needs to be treated. Other than that, there is nothing too bad. For a 6-year-old, he is still in very good condition. I want him to stop retiring because he is 6, but I don't think so. Since I have time, I will give him enough rest until next spring and talk to his assistant teacher Kim Young-kwan about his future while checking his condition. The decision will be made around March next year. There is a saying called 'Blue Chipper,' followed by 'Malibu Sun.' Last year, 'Blue Chipper' won first place in his debut and went to the Gyeongnam Provincial Ilbo Cup as the second race, but his performance was not good. I think I got a little hurt then.

When I sent it to the animal hospital, I heard that there was a cellulitis, so I did PRP procedure. I took a rest for more than two months by sending him to Jangsu Ranch to take a rest. On October 7, there was a KRA Classic race. Some say that the runner-up was beaten by the "Cheongdam Axe," and after the procedure, he sent it out to check his condition ahead of the presidential race on November 4. At that time, he complained to Lim, "Don't think about winning first place, run as if you're taking a driving test without thinking about your ranking, and you'll be in big trouble if you get hurt." Still, I came in second place, had confidence, and I was confident that we would win if I went out to the presidential race.

Following the feat of advancing to the final of the Dubai World Cup last year, he won his fourth consecutive victory this year, and the 37th Grand Prix on December 9, achieving all his goals as a racehorse. It was possible because behind "Triple Nine," which set an unprecedented record, there was Choi Byung-bu, who respected and cared for horses and people. "The reason why Triple Nine was able to come this far is the interest and support of the fans and customers," he said, first of all, thanking the fans. After three consecutive presidential victories, he won four consecutive gold medals this year and won a star in 40 runs, but words do not express his feelings. Triple Nine has been healthy until today because of the support of all the people and fans who care about Triple Nine.
