The central association strived to create a hub for the horse industry of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, and the cooperative differentiated the roles of each institution by dividing it into operating rural horse-riding facilities and supporting the production of horses for members.The plan is to enable profit generation throughout the entire process, including production, supply, consulting, training consignment, and sales, such as setting up horse riding facilities for farming and fishing villages in local cooperatives. To this end, it has finally announced its vision to complete the "cooperative-oriented rural horse riding industry" by fostering related industries such as medical, tourism and education with professional manpower. The launch ceremony of the horse meat brand business group was followed by a tasting and exhibition of horse meat along with an event to pledge to establish a sanitary and safe production and supply base for horse meat.

First of all, the government's dual policy must change. Although the Horse Industry Promotion Act is being implemented to foster the horse industry to revive the rural economy, the continued regulation of the horse racing industry, which needs to raise funds to foster the horse industry, will eventually make the cry to kill the horse racing industry and foster the horse industry an empty echo. The presentation of the overall symposium attracted a lot of sympathy and applause from the participants, and problems in fostering the actual horse industry and improvements in the legal system were announced. In addition, various questions and answers about fostering the horse industry continued, such as allowing the horse farm, which is struggling, to be resolved through actual counseling.

In addition, as some over-the-counter sales offices were abolished, the number of horse racing fans who used to use close to their residences to visit racetracks or over-the-counter sales offices decreased due to inconveniences in the streets, and the implementation of the designated seat system led to a decrease in the number of horse racing fans as there were frequent cases of visiting over-the-counter sales offices. As the Korean horse racing industry continues to decline, the horse industry diagnoses that the Korean horse racing industry has already fallen into a deep quagmire. Last year, the society conducted drainage efforts, including expanding the number of horse racing days and the number of races to the maximum extent to slow down the decline in sales, but in the end failed to calm down the falling sales.

In addition, Vice Minister Yeo also suggested the possibility and direction for the horse industry to grow into a core of the creative convergence industry linked to leisure, sports and tourism, not the primary and secondary industries.Naoki Koike, chairman of the Japan Horse Racing International Exchange Association, who made his first theme presentation, suggested the direction of the development of the horse industry in Yeongcheon under the theme of "Internationalization Strategy for the Growth of the Korean Horse Racing Industry." He said that the era has come when the Asian country leads the world's horse racing industry, and said, "If Korea and Japan, which have their own horse racing systems, cooperate, we will be able to lead the global horse racing market."

If the current trend continues, sales of the horse racing industry are expected to continue to decline this year. Not only officials from horse racing organizations but also officials from horse racing society admit that sales and the number of people entering cannot be avoided. However, all-out efforts are being made to slow the decline.In particular, what darkens the tomorrow of the horse racing industry is that there is no clear solution. Already, the horse racing society and related organizations have made every effort to prevent the downward trend of the horse racing industry, but it has not had much effect. In the end, related organizations and officials of the horse racing society are shouting that the horse racing industry can make a breakthrough only when it gets out of the consistent external environment with strong regulations as soon as possible.

It was built on a 60,000-pyeong school ranch with a floor space of 30,000 pyeong. Currently, it has 52 stalls and is working on various facilities to consider horses. As a luxury equestrian stadium, it will be able to play a big role in hosting various equestrian events in Jeju. We will also introduce facilities using experience data centers and sculptures to create a surrounding environment, a precious equestrian stadium where anyone can visit, and Jeju's landmarks. In particular, I have high expectations for the president of Jeju National University, as he has a clear vision for the horse industry and is generous with his support. The 95th National Sports Festival Equestrian Games, which will be held from October 28 to November 3, will also take place here. We will do our best to make the competition a memorable one with every effort to prepare for safety.

According to the Horse Industry Promotion Act, it is the special zone promotion team that inspects, preoccupies, and evaluates what needs to be done in Jeju Island, which has been designated as a special zone this year. It plays a role in evaluating and deciding whether projects related to the special zone are proceeding smoothly according to the plan. In particular, I am a person in the academic world and am in charge of examining and evaluating the expansion of educational infrastructure and its necessity. The first members of the promotion team, which will be active until December this year, need a promotion team because they need to evaluate the ongoing project within this year. Focusing on consulting policies and visiting and evaluating the site, we are working to ensure that Jeju Island, the first special industrial zone at the end of the year, can become a model for the special zone.

Masayo Ihara, president of Japan's International Association for the Disabled, said in a presentation on the theme of "Korea Horse Racing Industry's Benchmarking Strategy for Japan." "Horse riding is an exercise that has been proven effective in mental and physical treatment through communication with horses as well as exercise effects." The horse industry development plan announced by Nonghyup on the same day consisted of two major tasks and eight detailed tasks under the vision of "securing new growth engines for the 6th industry in the future by fostering the horse industry." The first task is to create a base for horse meat production and distribution and a consumer market centered on the agricultural cooperative, which will establish a professional production and supply system, establish a market through image of horse meat and promotion of large-scale consumption, and establish a consumption base through promotion of various sales channels.

Representative Yoon Sang-hyun said, "The current gambling regulation is a very low level of crime deterrence as a punishment system, as the upper limit is insignificant even if most gambling crimes are fined or imprisoned or fined," adding, "In particular, online sports gambling, which is operated illegally, is a serious social problem as it is rapidly spreading to an unspecified number of people, including teenagers, due to high refund rates, unlimited betting, and anonymity without certification procedures." Meanwhile, according to the statistics on gambling crimes at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in 2014, the recidivism rate for gambling crimes is 72.2%. In addition, according to the 2015 survey data by the Gambling Industry Integration Supervision Committee, the amount of illegal gambling is estimated to be 84 trillion won, and the share of illegal online sports gambling is 22 trillion won

Currently, the Korean horse community seems to be doing well to strengthen its competitiveness. For example, holding international competitions such as the 'Korea Cup' in Korea or sending out excellent Korean racehorses to Dubai and Singapore are doing well. If you increase your contact with international horse racing in this way, there is a good chance.First of all, I am sorry about the recent horse management incident at Let's Run Park in Busan and South Gyeongsang Province. The working hours of foreign horse managers are the same as those of Korea. However, the treatment of Korean horse managers is decent in that they receive a certain portion of the prize money. Some European countries, including Ireland, also have regulations that a portion of the prize money should be paid, but compared with the treatment, Korea is okay.

As the number of good horses in pedigree has increased, good grades can be expected. Recently, the composition of people visiting the horse racing park has diversified to include family customers accompanied by young children and young people who come to play with lovers or friends, in addition to horse racing fans who enjoy horse racing. I think it is currently a process of transforming into a healthy leisure sport. In order to bring about a bigger change in this process, it is also possible to use horses for the general public to see and enjoy rather than focusing on horse racing. The general public should be able to come and go naturally without hesitation on a daily basis. Thomas's assistant teacher's family in Ireland is a horse racing family. His grandfather and father were assistant teachers, and other family members are said to have been connected to horses such as jockeys.

If anything, there is a slight difference in the main.In addition to sand, there are many races in Europe and Malaysia on grass. Korea still does not have grass. The difference is the difference. There are also some differences in racing style. In Korea, there are many attempts to take the lead in the early stages of the race. I try to be ahead if possible. However, in Europe, there are various styles such as chuipma and free horse that are hit from the rear rather than the style of a good horse. My family has a deep relationship with horses. My grandfather and father taught as assistants in Ireland, and other family members have jobs related to horses, such as assistants and jockeys. I have actually been an assistant since my debut in Malaysia in 2010, but I have been living with horses for quite a long time. Korean horse racing is showing a lot of development now.

Three years is a long time or a short time, but you have understood Korean horse racing by seeing, hearing, and feeling it on the front lines of Korean horse racing. In addition, his performance, which is currently ranked at the top of the assistant teacher's ranking at Let's Run Park Pukyong, proves that he is already familiar with Korean horse racing. Now, he is a member who is making a new history of Korean horse racing beyond just a foreign assistant teacher, and he seemed to have affection for Korean horse racing. From the perspective of Thomas, a foreign assistant teacher, I check the current address of Korean horse racing. There is a foreign acquaintance among the racehorse producers in Jeju, so I visited Korea with their introduction. They said that Korean horse racing is currently developing a lot and the future prospects are bright.

Since the 2007 Sea Story incident, it has also published various policy reports on the comprehensive plan for the sound development of the gambling industry. In August, it earned a doctorate in policy studies with "a study on the process of policy changes in the regulation of the gambling industry by a policy network model," drawing attention as the country's No. 1 research authority on the gambling industry. Acting head of the horse racing headquarters, Kim Jong-kook, who has consistently contributed to the illegal gambling industry in this newspaper, is currently preparing to publish after writing Understanding the Horse Industry as a textbook related to the horse industry. At a recent conference hosted by the Lottery Association Cooperative, it also presented a study on the regulation of the domestic gambling industry and an analysis of the horse racing industry survey.

Historically, although Western languages did not appear in the past, the words in historical dramas are Western languages. There are Korean words such as Hallama and Jeju Ma on Jeju Island, but they are not being used. Some of the filming teams insist on using Western languages for safety reasons, but it is possible to make and use only about 100 Korean horses for special purposes. Also, I hope you don't take pride in your Korean horses and denigrate them. As I ride a horse, Korean people look at our horses funny. If there is a pony in the horse racecourse, European horses will be stuck and our horses act as captains, but we underestimate our horses. It's not as cool as Western horses visually, but our horses are really great and great. It's a scientifically proven fact and I hope you will take pride in our horses.

And there is also a part where Goguryeo and other nomadic Siberian peoples share a common horseback riding culture. In terms of embryology, they started where they started, but the history of Northeast Asia begins all along the Amur River. This is because there have been the rise and fall of many dynasties, but the movement of dynasties does not mean that all the people and culture living in the region will disappear. It also contains information on the horseback-riding culture of the region corresponding to Goguryeo's old territory. In addition, it was included to prove whether the Korean people can hunt valiantly, as shown in the hunting map. I suffered a lot in the weather of over 30 degrees below zero.

There are many new things I learned in the process. One of them is that Gwanggaeto the Great is actually closer to a leading and smart monarch than a brave monarch. Gwanggaeto Taeje was a monarch who very reasonably judged his strengths and weaknesses of others. Goguryeo's horse industry at that time was the most high-tech industry, like the modern comprehensive IT industry. Between the nomadic peoples of the north on horseback and the agricultural peoples of the south, they would not have been able to survive if they had not been better than them. Nevertheless, how smart would it have been to build a great empire? Perhaps the content will naturally melt in the documentary. It is said that this lantern is similar to the ancient Avar tombs in modern Hungary.

Five Goguryeo warriors on horseback are hunting deer and tigers while pulling their bow. Behind the scenes, there is a background depicting arithmetica. The most noticeable figure is the warrior who hunts by turning backward on a running horse. Also called the Partian law, this archery method is a high-level method that cannot be used unless one is familiar with a horse. They were the representatives of Good Pictures, Yoon Yeo-chang, and Ko Sung-gyu, the stable horse riding ground, who started making documentary videos with the ambition of reenacting the hunting scene in the dance gun hunting scene. Having devised documentary production since the winter of 2015, they left for Eurasia last year to examine Goguryeo's horseback riding culture and horse routes and to verify their true nature.

Daegu, Incheon, and Siheung, but after three years, the Korean Horse Association made an effort to transfer it to the local government or foundation, but it has been received by Daegu and is continuing it. Currently, healing horseback riding is being conducted separately for the general public, and it started with rehabilitation in a big sense, but I think it is the capability of the general manager Lee Jong-gu that has been able to come so far. Another is Kim Byung-sun, a professor at Halla University in Jeju. He has a lot of affection for the horse industry. He joined the Korean Horse Association in 1987 and worked very hard with affection. He still remains an educator and appears to be making efforts to develop the horse industry.

We also need to be a little stubborn. The same goes for our relationship with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. Back then, we fought each other inside, but we performed well by taking on all the roles of each position. In this way, the manager says what the manager should do, and the manager says what the manager should do. If you try it and it doesn't work, you can't help it, but it doesn't mean you can't do it. In the long run, I think the head of the Korean Horse Association, an organization dedicated to fostering the horse industry, should come from the inner staff. It is not necessary to form the Japanese case, but I hope that at least for once, the people who rally inside the horse society, those who have leadership, and those who listen to them well will be the head of the horse association.

As a premise, it is necessary to strengthen the crackdown capabilities of the Gambling Industry Integration Supervision Committee. Sixth, for illegal gambling that is still buried in illegality and does not comply with government policies, sanctions should be strong enough to take full advantage of not only traditional penalties such as imprisonment and fines, but also the criminal return system. Korea's legal gambling industry has been tied to the total sales system and has only focused on "sharing total" competition among legal gambling industries, but now it is facing a triple whammy (苦) that must prepare for competition with overseas markets and at the same time overcome the fight against illegal gambling, which has become deformed. You may not want to admit it, but illegal gambling has already become a dark side of society, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to crack down and punish illegal gambling.

Third, while reorganizing the tax system in a direction that is directly connected to the revitalization of the gambling industry, the organizations and organizations should promote practical public contributions by separating and integrating ticket outlets and public sports promotion voting rights so that they can be faithful to the original purpose of revitalizing Gyeonggi, Gyeongju, and related industries. Fourth, it is necessary to establish a response strategy that reflects the changed market environment such as the mobile market by accepting the reality of the legal gambling industry with a weak mobile base. It is necessary to consider introducing measures to cultivate some online illegal gambling that meets legal restrictions at a broad level. Fifth, it is necessary to establish a pan-governmental crackdown system dedicated to illegal gambling by facing the reality that illegal gambling is not just a crime of custom but an economic or organized crime.

That's the right way to go. And as I always say, we should continue to promote the horse culture sector. It is necessary to invest in activities to promote horse culture, such as Jeju's representative clothing devil theme town with the theme of horses. Investment in culture has the characteristics that do not reveal results in the short term, but if culture is the basis, the development of the industry can also be greatly encouraged. It is necessary to support and hold many large and small events using horses. In the case of Paju City, General Yun Gwan held an event to recreate the opening ceremony of the northern bee at Imjingak Peace Nuri Park. And Yeongcheon City, Gyeongbuk Province, has been holding horse culture events every year since a few years ago by raising Masangjae, and it is necessary to activate similar things.

Comparing the horse industry promotion act before and after, it has developed a lot. It can be divided into three main categories: hose, human and facility. In the past, if horses were produced and used only for horse racing, one more horse was added for horse racing since the enactment of the Horse Industry Promotion Act, which increased the utilization of horses for a longer cycle. The government is reportedly making efforts to use retired horses as horseback riding. The manpower part will also increase and increase. Currently, about 300 people are coming out of high schools and vocational colleges. Some say that the department will be abolished within a few years, but not all students who have graduated from horse industry departments can enter the horse industry, and they can enter other areas related to horses.
