Chairman Kim Nak-soon said, "We will protect the trust of the organization through fair personnel appointments and deploy personnel at the right place according to capabilities," adding, "Fair personnel appointments will be Kim Nak-soon's trademark. Please keep an eye on her." Kim Nak-soon's inaugural address shows that she had thoroughly studied the horse racing industry and other pending issues, including the organization of the Korean Horse Association, before she became the head of the Korean Horse Association. As soon as she takes office, she will promptly start processing each department's work." In fact, she reportedly received briefings on each department's work on the day of her inauguration, last weekend, and until next Monday.

Forestry and Fisheries Yeo In-hong, with some 250 experts related to the horse industry at home and abroad, and organized by the Yeongnam Ilbo. "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."

Emphasizing that the best path and the goal of the Korean Racing Authority is to return to an institution that is faithful to its founding purpose, he said, "The path is a responsibility given to us by the state and the true form of the Korean Racing Authority that the people expect." He also said that generating profits through horseback riding is not an end, but a means. Instead of maximizing profit generation, publicity and sharing should now come first, and he said, "Our community will strive to become a healthy institution that expects the highest productivity in the best condition." In particular, since the establishment of infrastructure to revitalize horseback riding is also an important value, he said, "We believe that not only horse racing but also the horseback riding industry needs to grow together to complete the development of the horse industry in a true sense.

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.

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.

As with most inaugurations, he mentioned the weather and said, "The cold start is not so much the public's view of the current Korean Racing Authority as the weather," adding, "I am truly afraid of the public's strict order to be reborn with a great sense of responsibility." Although he was branded as the head of a state-run corporation subject to public distrust, criticism, and deep-rooted evil, he said he would not hold people accountable for any reason. It was not the problem of the entire Korean Racing Authority, but the problem was the manager who claimed to be a puppet and some of his followers who used it as a tool for his standing. However, not everyone should be proud." He also said, "We should be ashamed of ourselves for not being brave enough to tell the wrong part,

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,

Students come to the school every Wednesday to take rehabilitation riding classes, and they applied for volunteers at the beginning of the semester and gained a lot of experience by volunteering next to them. In the second semester of the first year, I prepared a demonstration test for the second class of rehabilitation horseback riding. At that time, Professor Park Geum-ran and Instructor Song Yeon-hee kindly explained and demonstrated next to me, helping me to teach myself. As such, the intimacy of the students receiving rehabilitation horseback riding was increased and the burden of the class decreased, and the worry and tension about the test decreased. Riding a horse was the most difficult. My classmates are improving, but I came from riding a horse in high school, so I have my own posture.

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.

First of all, we considered stabilizing rice prices as the first step in restoring trust in the agricultural government, and through close communication with farmers' organizations and relevant ministries, we decided on measures to isolate 720,000 tons of rice from the market, the largest volume in history. Thanks to this, rice prices, which remained at the level of 20 years ago, exceeded 150,000 won right after the announcement of the measures, and are continuously on the rise so far. The purchase price of public reserve rice and market quarantine grains from 2017 has also increased by 19% year-on-year, and the purchase price of 52,570 won per 40 kg bag of rice has been completed by the end of the last year. In addition, we have completed the domestic procedures for joining the Food Aid Agreement and will provide 50,000 tons of Korean rice to developing countries from this year.

The horse racing society plans to use expired unpaid refunds to raise funds. The method of setting horse racing prize money will also be improved. Until now, there has been an unproductive debate due to subjectivity intervention, such as the propensity of horse racing management at the time of planning and its relationship with related organizations, due to the lack of clear setting standards. In addition, this method of setting horse racing prize money has not been directly correlated with the increase or decrease in sales, which has led to insufficient return of management performance to the horse racing industry or hinder management stability. Therefore, the horse racing society plans to set the prize money differentially in consideration of the nature and status of each class in future horse racing prize money, quantify the basic increase rate as much as possible, and consult and determine other policy prize money.

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 race, 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 racehorse training patterns and the implementation of the break time system. The improvement of horse racing infrastructure such as racers' long-cherished dream, such as racetracks and horse racing, also began in earnest. Members of the Seoul Horse Racing Association, which have led such changes and innovations in Korean horse racing,

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.

It was a year marred by a series of suicides by horse racing officials and the decision to close over-the-counter sales centers in Daejeon and Yongsan. Despite the enormous social contribution of the horse racing industry, the negative public view of horse racing and the reality of Korean horse racing, which is gradually losing its place amid excessive government regulations, weigh heavily on our hearts even at this moment. As you can see, Korean horse racing has suffered greatly over the past few years, going through the throes of horse racing innovation. In the midst of a whirlwind of bone-cutting innovation, we have spent a fierce time for correct horse racing innovation, emphasizing that 'innovation without communication' can never succeed.

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."

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,

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,

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,

The government's opaque horse industry policy is shrinking the horse industry's economic outlook and foundation, and the impact of the Korean market is significant in the Jangje industry, and the Jangje industry and workers are also worried about the future of the industry. In order to address the concerns of farmers and horse industry-related workers, continuous support for the horse industry promotion policy, which has already been firmly established by the government's agricultural policy, is more urgent than ever. In 2018, we hope that a more active horse industry promotion policy will be realized so that the domestic horse industry base and the conditions of the horse industry in rural areas can be improved and the actual income growth of horse industry workers can be achieved.

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.

Nevertheless, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has been delaying the establishment of the "Second Five-Year Comprehensive Plan for the Promotion of the Horse Industry," which is stipulated by law, without providing clear reasons for policy changes, is a loss of trust in the government and disappointing farmers and horse industry workers. Moreover, in September 2017, the Korean Horse Industry Promotion Headquarters announced that it had set a budget of 3 billion won for the growth of horse industry-related projects with the goal of creating 200,000 horse-riding populations every five years by 2030, with the aim of dividing the period into three stages every five years.

Last year, Choi Soon-sil's manipulation of state affairs, the impeachment of former President Park Geun Hye, and the election of President Moon Jae In led to a major crisis that will remain in our constitutional history. In addition, North Korea's successive nuclear tests and missile launches, not only domestic but also international security crises including the U.S. and Japan, and economic crises caused by China's retaliation against THAAD, were a series of national challenges that could not be relieved internally and externally. Perhaps because of such domestic and international circumstances, the comprehensive plan for fostering the horse industry, which is the central plan of the Korean horse industry, has not yet been finalized for various reasons and has passed the first year of 2017,

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.
