The reason why we have been able to stay lost despite the strong waves and storms that threaten our horse racing has been because of the sublime history of 25 years of individual horse racing that all the horse racing families have pioneered together, and the faith and passion of all of us as we run toward the grand goal of advancing horse racing. In particular, the unwavering support and support of the horse racing fans, who have protected Korean horses so that they do not lose the essence and identity of horse racing, have been a great courage and encouragement for our horse racing fans to overcome despair and frustration and get back on their feet. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the horse racing fans.

Despite the unpredictable darkness and chaos, all of our racers have not stopped their great journey to challenge and challenge without giving in to despair and crisis over the past year.Entering Part II, the Korean Horse Racing Association, which started anew as a member of the global horse racing industry, began small changes in the field to strengthen its competitiveness, including the away challenge at the Dubai World Cup last year, the introduction of advanced overseas personnel, changes in race horse training patterns and the implementation of the break time system, and the improvement of horse racing infrastructure such as racers' long-cherished dream, such as racetracks and horse racing, also had a time of growth that began in earnest.

In order to establish itself as a leading farm in name and reality, it is diagnosed that there are many areas that need to be supplemented and further strengthened and expanded in investment and efforts. There is still a lot of work to do, but after patrolling all the paddocks, my physical strength becomes stronger and I often feel impatient. Fortunately, the firstborn, who leads Challenger Farm, is a racehorse production ranch manager who shows more passion than expected and is actually leading the overall management of specifications such as breeding, production, and fostering of my ranch, and secondly, it is a great help as he even helps with advice from time to time. The first representative Lee mentioned is Lee Kwang-rim, CEO of Challenger Farm, and the second is Lee Kwang-hyeop, director of Seowon Animal Hospital, a horse-specialized animal hospital. These are families of rich people and biological siblings. In other words, all family members are engaged in the horse industry and related industries.

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 a solid production base and can collapse in an instant, so we look back on Korea's horse industry policy once again and 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 thanks to the establishment of policies and investment that can develop co-prosperity.

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.

When asked about his acceptance speech, Professor Park Geum-ran said, "I am happy to receive a commendation from the Minister of Agriculture despite many people who have made efforts to develop the domestic horse industry," and added, "I will take it as a meaning to contribute more to the development of the horse industry in the future and work hard."Meanwhile, Seorabeol University is actively engaged in volunteer activities related to rehabilitation horseback riding to enhance and promote the image of the domestic horse industry. The Masagwa of Seorabeol University participates in nearby rehabilitation centers for the disabled and events for the disabled every year to show rehabilitation horseback riding activities for social participation.

In addition, he participated in designing and writing national certificates for rehabilitation horseback riding in Korea, making efforts to establish a foundation for rehabilitation horseback riding in Korea and expand the base. Last year, he was appointed as an executive of the Korea Rehabilitation Horse Association and was designated as a cooperative organization for rehabilitation horseback riding in Korea. In addition, as an executive of the Korean Rehabilitation Horse Association, he attended the 2015 World Rehabilitation Horse Association General Assembly to attract the "2021 World Rehabilitation Horse Association" to Korea, and has been a member of the Gyeongju Regional Development Council, contributing to policy reflection for the development of the horse industry in Gyeongju.

Thanks to your efforts, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has prepared budgeting and business guidelines to implement the student horse riding support project from January 2018, and as a result, it is very encouraging to increase the utilization rate of the horse racing course even in winter, the off-season.A new beginning is always full of hope. The newly launched Korea Racing Authority (KRA) plans to do its best to solve problems such as livestock farming in the horse industry, the application of electricity to horse racing courses and horseback riding insurance as soon as possible. I believe that our ability can be doubled when we practice with earnestness. We will work together to solve difficult problems and contribute to the development of the horse racing industry.

Lee Yong-dae, CEO of Yongmun Ranch, is an "Ama-in" who celebrates his last year's 稀. Lee is a racehorse producer and owner (Seoul, Jeju Racehorse Park) who has a reputation for having a unique eye for picking seeds that he has raised with horses for almost his entire life. He travels around the racehorse industry with incredible 70 years of age, examines horses, and communicates with them. In addition, he will serve as a mentor to his eldest son, Lee Kwang-rim, CEO of Challenger Farm, and his second son, Lee Kwang-hyeop, head of Seowon Animal Hospital, who has been reborn as the manager of the racehorse production ranch since 1997, while at the same time asking for advice on the combination of Thoroughbred blood vessels, breeding and fostering with a learning attitude to awaken "humility" along with the importance of "lifelong study."

I hope you achieve everything you wish, and I wish everyone in the horse industry a busy and exciting year, especially as the sound of horse hooves shaking the earth and earth vibrates again. Looking back, the past year has been a very difficult and difficult year. The hard work that has been done for many years has collapsed overnight, and in particular, the image of the horse industry, including horseback riding, has been greatly undermined, the number of citizens visiting the horse racing course has decreased, and people have been criticized for not doing anything wrong. It is said that risks and opportunities coexist in crises. Taking lessons from the fact that we must join forces to show unity in times of difficulty, we gathered together to form the National Horse Racing Authority,

The Korea Racing Authority began a one-man protest and said, "Since its establishment, the integrated supervision committee of the gambling industry has focused its regulation and supervision on legal gambling projects within the system, while neglecting illegal gambling, which has shown a rapid expansion trend over the past five years." In Xi'an, which is being prepared based on the results of research services commissioned to establish the second comprehensive plan for the sound development of the gambling industry, the inspection committee gave the impression of focusing only on regulating legal gambling projects and foreshadowed excessive regulatory measures and measures," adding, "We are going into a struggle because we can no longer sit idly by."Choi Young-sang, vice chairman of the Korean Horse Association, said, "In the survey data of illegal gambling by the audit committee, the amount of illegal gambling increased from 54 trillion won when it was launched in 2008 to 75 trillion won in 2012."

This is an industrial activity that helps livestock farmers generate income and a movement to promote health to the public. Therefore, I am confident that it will ultimately establish itself as an important position in the livestock industry in Korea in the future. To that end, we need to develop a system and build a control tower that will enable the training and management of experts above all else, and the main goal should be to revitalize the youth horse riding of consumers in the future, which will increase demand. In addition, investment and efforts should be made to cultivate and assist horse producers in case demand increases. As for the successful cases of France that we will benchmark, the government led the way in controlling the industry to provide various supports and public relations,

The act of forcing the implementation of Chuseok and public holidays with management evaluation and performance pay without offering essential alternatives should be stopped immediately," he said. "What the chairman and management should strive for is not to create an atmosphere for the implementation of Chuseok and public holidays by coercion, but to clearly recognize the reality facing the Korean horse racing society and the horse racing industry and to take structural measures to fundamentally change it." As a countermeasure, he also said, "We are trying to improve the horse racing tax system to raise the customer refund rate, to expand leisure tax collection grants so that incentives can go to basic local governments where the over-the-counter branch is located, and to find ways to use the livestock development fund and special reserves to improve the image of the Korean horse racing society."

Perhaps that's why there were heated candlelight vigils and major changes in the country. Unfortunately, the horse industry, among others, was at the center of the news and delivered bad images of horse riding every day. An incident caused tremendous damage to the entire horse industry, which forced many people, including myself, to overcome very difficult times. The first comprehensive horse industry plan came as an unexpected moment for the Korean horse industry, which was growing rapidly, but in some ways, I think it provided an opportunity to publicize the unfamiliar area of the 'horse riding' to the public. Of course, it is believed that noise marketing has created a bad image to succeed, so it will take great effort and time to recover.

The message I want to convey to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs at the Korea Horse Producers Association is that if the first horse industry plan was quantitative growth, I hope the second horse industry plan will develop in the direction of qualitative growth.Seven years have passed since the world's only horse industry promotion law was enacted and implemented, but the most important agricultural law revision in the riding sector has not been made. In order to install a rural horse-riding facility, it is necessary to change the existing farmland to sports land, but the excessive burden of farmland conversion is a big burden. In order to improve the reality that many rural horse-riding facilities are currently operating without permission and without permission,

In particular, it was a year of further damage to the operators of horse racing courses across the country due to some kind of incidents, such as Choi Soon-sil's manipulation of state affairs, which made the public aware of the bad image of the horse racing sector, and Jeong Yu-ra's special treatment for horse racing. In addition, it was a disappointing and regrettable year for professional horse manufacturers and horse breeding farmers. Historically, the year of martial arts is a year when eventful events are completed and combined. It is said that it is the year when the soil and the soil meet and blend into each other with big soil like Musan and liquor, so it is called the Year of the Golden Dog!! It is a auspicious year.

Crop accident insurance provides new farmers' safety insurance products that ease the rate gap between cities and counties by setting an upper limit on premium rates, and provide enhanced coverage to the level of industrial accident insurance. Through water system connection projects and drainage improvements, we will reduce frequent drought and inundation damage, and we will also implement seismic reinforcement for old repair facilities in preparation for earthquakes. We will actively respond to the ongoing negotiations on the revision of the Korea-US FTA in accordance with the government's position that further opening of the agricultural sector is impossible. We will promote youth employment and start-ups in the food and restaurant sectors.

CEO Kim asked all horse industry workers to pay keen attention to the proposal, as excessive regulation of the horse racing industry is a matter that is directly related to the existence of the entire horse industry. As the review is expected to continue until August 27, it is necessary to continuously make inquiries and recommendations on the relevant contents. So far, there is overwhelming interest in other national proposals.In the meantime, the Prime Minister's Office initially requested that the Prime Minister's Office handle the proposal, but the processing department was assigned to the Culture and Tourism Ministry and the working-level department to the Planning and General Affairs Division of the Sovereign Industrial Integration Supervision Committee. It does not make sense that the committee has been assigned to handle the matter.

Like the Central Main Country Association, we will strengthen the governance system between the government and producer organizations for each item and adjust the supply and demand from the pre-production stage such as adjusting the cultivation area. We will prepare a supply and demand control manual throughout the entire production process from sowing to shipping, and increase the reliability of agricultural observation by using advanced devices such as big data and drones. We will prepare for a complete reorganization of the direct payment system in the direction of increasing the unit price of field agriculture, unfavorable conditions, and eco-friendly direct payments, and enhancing the public function of agriculture and rural areas.

It is a sustainable agricultural policy that strengthens the sustainability of the agri-food industry and the environment, and the public interest value of agriculture and rural areas. It is a field-oriented reform agricultural policy that listens to the voices of the field from the perspective of farmers and the people. Starting this year, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs will begin to reform agriculture in earnest to create a country where farmers can farm without worries and consume with confidence. We will focus on the top 10 major policies so that the national tasks of stabilizing the income of farmers, strengthening the foundation for the sustainable agri-food industry, supplying safe food to the people, and creating welfare and rural areas where people want to live can produce tangible results.

The upper limit for gift expenses for agricultural and fishery products and processed products has been raised from 50,000 won to 100,000 won. The upper limit for congratulatory events will be lowered to 50,000 won, but up to 100,000 won will be allowed when including wreaths.

There was also a crisis situation. When red fire ants were found, emergency quarantine measures were taken to resolve the situation early. When an insecticide egg incident occurred, all farms were banned immediately after detection, and all unsuitable eggs were discarded by conducting a thorough inspection. In addition, we have pushed for system improvement to prevent recurrence. After fundamentally reviewing the problems raised at the time of pesticide detection eggs, the relevant ministries jointly prepared the Comprehensive Food Safety Improvement Measures. When setting the standards and items for livestock inspection applied in the field, prior consultation between the relevant ministries is mandatory, and when hazardous substances are detected,
