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.

The horse racing society expects to enhance the product competitiveness of Korean horses, strengthen their international competitiveness, and create a friendly business environment through the reorganization of the racing system, and it is expected that the transaction value of Korean horses will increase as well as boost their entry into the global market in the future.The reason why the Korean Racing Authority is rushing to improve the overall system of the horse racing system is to upgrade the national competitiveness that remains in Part 3. The Korean Racing Authority, which is pushing for the Korea Cup in 2018, which includes the U.S., Australia, and Asian Racing Bureau, has a big goal of promoting Korean racing to Part 2 within a few years.

The weight of horse racing will also be improved. In order to enhance international universality, the divisional unit will be subdivided, and the standard weight applied by horse racing will be switched from general racing in lower groups to horse racing. The divisional unit will be divided into semi-annual division on a monthly basis, and the division will be divided into single/medium/long-distance division from those without distinction of distance, and the weight of horse racing will be given. The race will also be reorganized to select the best horse racing by distance, age, and gender, and the race will be strengthened from now on. All Grade races that select the best horse by condition will be held as open races (16 races in 2015), and mixed open races will be open to foreign horses. In addition, the refund rate for major horse races (G1 races and triple crown races) will be raised to 80 percent.

The Myeonji Market is also expected to open. Gumi, where horse racing occurred naturally, is widely opening the Myeonji Market, and Asia is also expanding its Myeonji Market. In the case of Hong Kong, face-to-face registration is possible without restricting nationality, and Japan is also operating the Myeonji Market with certain qualifications. In the early stages of opening the Myeonji Market, the Korean Horse Association plans to set the opening rate in stages through performance analysis after piloting about 15 people, or 2% of the current Myeonji operation scale. It plans to allow individual horse racing, corporate horse racing, and union racing to foreigners living in Korea, but only individual horse racing to non-resident foreigners in Korea. It is also seeking ways to increase the demand for domestic horse racing by setting a comparison between domestic horse and foreign horse holding in order to open the Myeonji Market and increase the demand for domestic horse racing.

As I rode alone and rode in a comfortable position, my posture became solid. It was difficult because it took a long time to fix my firm posture. I injured the ligament of my big toe three weeks before the first practical examination of the certificate. I was diagnosed with a five-week rest by the doctor. I lost my composure and was anxious because the test was just around the corner. I only went home and hospital for three weeks The day before I took the test, I went to school and practiced only once with my classmates. And I passed. I think I was lucky. When I took the practical test, I could take the test in Jama, so I took the school horse and rode it. It would have been difficult if I had been assigned a new horse, but it was a horse that I used to ride all the time at school,

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. Although there are some subsidies from the Korean Horse Association, the current two-generation horse auction market,

Preferably, in order to reorganize the auction market centered on one-year-old horses like developed countries, various support measures and systems such as limited selection auction horses and regularization of special races should be in place. 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,

We have resolved the conflict over the agricultural industry. The issue of refunding preferential rice payments made in 2016 could be resolved smoothly by constantly talking with farmers' organizations. The issue of over-the-counter sales centers in Yongsan and Daejeon, which had been in sharp conflict with the local community for a long time, was also decided to relocate through social compromise. 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 from being shipped immediately after detection, and all nonconforming eggs were discarded by conducting a full inspection. Along with this, we pushed for system improvement to prevent recurrence.

In order to prevent the outflow of dollars for imported seed mares for breeding purposes, an institutional mechanism is needed to induce natural circulation from racehorses to seed mares by expanding the organization of preferential races for imported mares.The Saemangeum Gyeongju Horse Co-production Promotion Complex, which the association is ambitious to create a joint production promotion complex on 800 ha of Saemangeum Agricultural Life Zone 6-2 to drastically reduce management costs and produce and foster excellent racehorses to promote the sustainable development of racehorses production farms and Korean horse racing, was reflected in the "Second Comprehensive Plan for Promotion of Horse Industry" organized by the Ministry of Agriculture,

It is said that rehabilitation horseback riding will be expanded and distributed mainly in public horse riding sites in the new year. How about sharing warm hearts and exercising through volunteering? The Industrial Promotion Act was implemented at the end of 2011, and the second five-year plan will be announced soon. I think it will be a timely prescription for the horse industry in difficult situations. Horses start walking and running as soon as they are born, but humans do not show their exact motor functions until well over 10 years later. If you compare the horse industry development method to a person, you will only be 8 years old when you enter elementary school next year. I think the current difficulty is a growing pain for the horse industry to grow and develop further.

Each racehorse's rating is a method in which the handicapper closely judges the race performance of the racehorse, expresses the racing horse's ability as a numerical value, and determines the weight of the horse when he or she enters the race based on the rating figures. In order to establish the basis for the application of the rating system, the Korean Horse Association plans to first implement the first-tier handicap race, which clearly reveals the racing ability of the race, and the second-tier will start in November, when the racehorse rating is expected to stabilize. The rating will be published on the Korea Horse Association website and today's race, and the announcement will be made before 5 p.m. every Wednesday, and it will be 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 the rating changes of the horses in the previous week.

In particular, horse racing sales have continued to slump even though the number of races and the number of days released 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 the 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 decline in horse racing demand, resulting in a vicious cycle of expanding the race supply again," explaining the background of the race system reform.

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 has been shown to have a great effect on 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 it was judged that rehabilitation horseback riding could be a new therapeutic method that could be combined with existing treatments in the treatment of ADHD.

The second task is to establish a foundation for the rural horse riding industry centered on cooperatives. The detailed task was to establish a comprehensive support center for the horse industry in Jeju and to foster key union personnel and leading union members through education. The central association is striving to create a hub for the horse industry of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, and the cooperative has differentiated the roles of each institution by dividing it into operating rural horse riding facilities and supporting the production of horses for its members.The plan is to enable profit generation throughout the entire process, including production and supply, consulting, training consignment, and sales, such as setting up horse riding facilities for farming and fishing villages in local livestock cooperatives.

What is unfortunate, however, is that even though it has been a year of 破邪顯, which is newly written 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 horse was at the center of last year's historical event, is thought to have continued this year. It is very sad to think about disabled children who sit on horses and smile happily at the scene of rehabilitation riding. Korea's rehabilitation horse began in 2001 as a social and public service project at Samsung Electronics Hiking Troupe. 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, but the rehabilitation effect for children with disabilities was more than expected.

There was no way to improve the system. Competition was the priority. Whether voluntarily or not, racing, where people are dying, should stop. It is human nature that a good racehorse can come out only when people are peaceful, safe, and happy. Fortunately, the "Measures to Improve the Employment Structure of Horse Management" signed last year by the participation of the two major labor unions, the Korea Racing Authority, the Euljiro Committee, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs decided to hold a working-level meeting of the horse racing committee (tentative name) and a joint bungling horse race workshop on a quarterly basis to discuss horse racing plans and pending issues related to practice.

Seoul Racecourse has improved the working conditions that senior managers and senior workers have been in poor condition over the past 100 years. It's not that I'm not going to work or doing less, but that I'm going to work while keeping the laws, regulations, and systems. It means that the employment of horse racing workers, the right to survive, and safety from industrial accidents 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 quiet. Innovation created by the horse racing society unilaterally should be completely blanked, and new innovation measures that presuppose concerns and empathy with the parties concerned should be created.

Unfortunately, public opinion was formed and discussions were held that the employment insecurity, excessive competition systems, and poor working conditions of horse racing workers triggered by the death of two horse racing managers in Pukyong, should be improved. In the process, the managers of Seoul were driven by the dichotomy logic that because employment is stable and competitiveness is low, they work less and take more salaries. The history of Seoul and Pukyong is different, and the working experience and average age of horse racing workers are not discussed at all, and the media reported the logic of the horse racing society that Seoul is high cost, low efficiency, and Pukyong is low cost and high efficiency, and thanks to this,

It was built on a 60,000-pyeong school ranch with a floor space of 30,000 pyeong. Currently, it has 52 horse parlors and is working on various facilities to consider horses. As a luxury horse riding stadium facility, it will play a big role in holding various horse riding competitions in Jeju. We will also introduce facilities using experience data centers and sculptures to create a surrounding environment, a precious horse riding ground where anyone can visit, and a landmark of Jeju Island. In particular, I have high expectations because the president of Jeju National University has a clear vision for the horse industry and has been generous with support.The 95th National Sports Festival equestrian event, which will be held from Oct. 28 to Nov. 3, will also be held here.

Although not confirmed, the plan to strengthen the competitiveness of Korean horse racing that the Korean Horse Racing Association is envisioning includes the introduction of excellent horses and the establishment of an industrial reflux system for horse racing sales. First of all, the Horse Racing Association plans to completely abolish the purchase cap to expand the conditions for introducing excellent horses. 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 addition, in the case of mares, it is planned to allow the introduction of foreign race horses. It is planned to allow the introduction of male and female horses around 2018. Meanwhile, the Korean Horse Association plans to allow only 25% of all racehorses to introduce foreign horses in order to solve the difficulties of domestic horse production farmers due to the abolition of the upper limit of the introduction of foreign horses.
