In equestrianism, we will serve as a driving force to popularize the sport by ensuring that riding is conducted safely. To that end, we will prioritize the safe introduction and introduction of riding horses for conversion. As a practical task, we plan to conduct multiple training sessions nationwide.In addition, regarding the training of trained horses, this study will compare and examine the differences between groups of horses that entered the racecourse after passing the training examination and those that did not, to determine whether racehorse training in Korea is progressing in a desirable direction.

Promotion Act is needed to reorganize the forms, functions, and systems of the horse industry in order to seek new development plans. With the current structure, the future of the horse industry cannot be guaranteed. In particular, the fragmented horse industry within the government—divided between the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism—should be unified to minimize the damage to the field caused by these exhausting policies.

Horse racing faced difficulties due to a continuous decline in customers and various unexpected incidents, while equestrian sports struggled amid the prolonged vacancy of the association president’s position.These difficulties had been ongoing even before 2018. What should be done in the horse industry sector at this point?There may be various ways, but I believe that above all, to enhance the appeal of horse racing and equestrian sports, it is essential to approach customers and the public with a sincere

Since the enactment of the Horse Industry Promotion Act at the end of 2011, the horse industry has grown rapidly thanks to the efforts of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, but has recently gone through a transitional period. I believe this is a period of leap forward, not a slump. As we move past the leap stage and approach maturity, I believe the most necessary thing for us, before entering the stabilization phase, is above all the development of specialized talent.

Meanwhile, in response to the sharp rise during the harvest season, an emergency government rice auction was held to ease the burden on urban low-income residents.

Dear members of the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency family, and to the citizens who cherish the agency!Despite our efforts, the possibility of the introduction of nationally catastrophic livestock diseases and high-risk plant pests and diseases into the country is increasing day by day due to the expansion of international trade and climate change. In addition, as the quality of life improves, public expectations for the safety management of agricultural and livestock products and the level of animal protection and welfare are rising.

I joined the company in 1985, and in 1986 I went to Wondang Ranch because they needed a veterinarian. In the 1980s, there was actually no scientific breeding system in the early stages of racehorse production. I had never learned anything about horse breeding at school. The book said that disinfectants should be used on the genitals during mating, but not knowing which, I used a substance called 'cresol' and ended up causing burns. It was a famous horse that had won the Tenno Sho in Japan, and the sire was a gift from the president, but a rookie veterinarian burned it. Seeing the situation, then Korea Racing Authority Chairman Lee Geon-young sent someone to Australia for training.

The results have been outstanding. Before a racehorse production system was fully established, he worked as a field veterinarian to support pilot racehorse production and the introduction of breeding sires, contributing to setting related policies and determining practical work directions, and while serving as director of the Jeju ranch, he saved 'Manipi,' who was in critical condition due to bladder stones. As mentioned earlier, he engaged with the field to revive the struggling equestrian industry and took the lead in various initiatives to rediscover our unique horse culture.Since taking office as director of the Equine Industry Research Institute earlier this year, he has been actively engaged in designating 143 projects across five fields and presenting a 10-year mid- to long-term R&D roadmap for the industry.

Korea Horse Industry Association is exploring the export of racetrack systems to neighboring Southeast Asian countries, such as the Philippines, based on Korea's excellent horse racing system. This also seeks to achieve two goals: the export of operating systems and the creation of jobs.

In particular, since racehorse breeders and horse industry operators believe that a balanced financial cycle is essential for the development of the horse industry, I want to reflect these voices in policy and establish a research institute to support studies in the field of horse science, such as scientific training and production, to help produce high-quality racehorses. Since we are still in the early stages, I think it would be rewarding to provide direction and lay the groundwork while I am here.Manifi had an egg-sized stone. The key factors were the early detection and confirmation of the condition, and the prompt decision to proceed with surgery.
