Taking lessons from the fact that we must join forces to show unity in times of need, we gathered together to form the National Association of Horse-riding Businesses from all over the country and made a strong start. The National Horse-riding Business Association will serve as a foundation for the horse-riding field managers to work together to devise and implement development plans, and to promote information exchange and pride. Thanks to your efforts, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has provided 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-riding field even in winter, the off-season.

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, it must be resolved during the second horse-industry plan. Only then will the demand for the production of horseback riding be activated, and it can lead to the generation of profits for members of professional horse-riding producers. If the producer association is activated,

I wish everyone in the country a happy year with their horses. The year 2017 was a sad year for the horse industry, not growth. 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 preferential 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 called the Year of the Golden Dog!! It is said that it is the year when soil and soil meet and harmonize with large soil like Mt.

The growth of the horse industry was driven by the government's policy to foster the horse industry, and those related to the horse industry expected that the horse industry will continue to be implemented after 2017 under the "Second Five-Year Comprehensive Plan for the Promotion of the Horse Industry." 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

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, even though it is to be established every five years under the Horse Industry Promotion Act.

The Industrial Promotion Act was implemented at the end of 2011, and the second five-year plan will be announced soon. It is thought that it will be a timely prescription for horse industry sites in difficult situations. Horses start walking and running as soon as they are born, but humans do not exercise their exact motor functions until well over 10 years later. If you compare the horse industry promotion method to people, you will be just 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. I hope that the people who wisely overcome the crisis will show interest and affection for the horse industry, the horse industry will take a powerful leap like horses in the new year,

Based on these achievements, the Korea Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Association was established in 2013, and on December 22, 2017, the Korea Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Association received approval from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to establish a corporation. The Korea Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Association will unite related organizations, including related academic and educational organizations, rehabilitation horseback riding instructors and therapists, and various experts and workers in the horse industry, and will work together to develop and globalize the rehabilitation horse riding in Korea. In 2021, experts from various fields related to the horse industry are working together to attract the World Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Conference to Korea.

Therefore, the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province announced that it is compromising with the government after submitting a revised opinion on the revision of the Enforcement Rules of the grassland law by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to allow the use of rural horse riding facilities without going through permission for the exclusive use of grasslands. The revised opinion of the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province was designed to ease the permission because most horse riding facilities in Jeju are built on grasslands, but it is not easy to permit them due to difficulties such as permits for the exclusive use of grasslands.The Jeju Special Self-Governing Province predicts that if this amendment is accepted, it will be able to obtain permission for equestrian facilities without obtaining permission for grassland-only, contributing to the increase in income not only for horse breeders in Jeju Island but also for horse breeders nationwide.

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.

There was a big event that will go down in history, and when the incident became public, I was embarrassed to think about how our Republic would be viewed on the world stage, but I am proud to think about all of our people who have overcome it wisely. 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.

Meanwhile, many people had to leave the racetrack on their own or due to industrial accidents or diseases. There was no way to improve the system. Competition was the priority. Whether it is voluntary or not, competition should stop. It is human nature that a good race horse can come out only when people are peaceful, safe and happy. Fortunately, the "plan to improve the employment structure of horse managers" signed last year by the participation of the two major labor unions, horse racing society, Euljiro committee, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs decided to hold a working-level committee for horse racing and discuss pending issues related to horse racing plans and practical affairs. It is hoped that communication between horse racing and horse racing-related organizations will be facilitated and voices of the field can be properly reflected in the system.

Despite the good purpose of its launch, the Horse Racing Industry Advancement Forum has been unclear whether it will continue due to the exhaustion of topics, lack of participation, and financial problems. The suspension was discussed due to the expiration of CEO Kang Yong-sik's term as president of the Seoul Horse Racing Association, but it was agreed to continue until this year, leading to the final 14th Horse Racing Industry Advancement Forum.Although the Horse Racing Industry Advancement Forum has not reached its ultimate goal of resolving the communication disconnection between horse racing actors, which has previously emerged as a big problem in the horse racing industry, and jointly responding to current issues facing the horse racing industry, it is considered to have laid a significant foundation for the development of Korean horse racing in that it has opened the way for communication between related organizations and set up time to discuss current issues in the horse racing industry.

Unfortunately, the death of two horse racing managers in Pukyong led to public opinion that the job insecurity, excessive competition systems, and poor working conditions of horse racing workers should be improved. In the process, the managers of Seoul drove them to the dichotomy logic that they worked less and took more salaries because employment was stable and competitiveness was low. The history of Seoul and Pukyong (except Jeju) 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 horse racing that Seoul is high cost, low efficiency, and Pukyong is low cost and high efficiency, and as a result, even some horse racing officials and even some horse racing fans are driving public opinion as pigs who distributed Seoul with the same logic.

Eo Kyung-sun, head of the Chungju Citizens' Solidarity Against Attracting a Video Racecourse, emphasized, "The basis and core of the Malmunhwa Complex Leisure Center in Chungju City is to establish and operate a video racecourse in Chungju City," and reiterated the opposition of the Chungju Citizens' Solidarity against attracting, saying, "As it is predicted that the impact will spread throughout the lives of residents in Chungju, as well as the economy and society."Shin Gun-joon, secretary-general of the Chungju Citizens' Solidarity Against Attracting the Video Race Directorate, and Lee Sun-young, secretary-general of the Chungbuk Participatory Solidarity, also expressed negative views on the creation of a horse culture complex leisure center and the development project plan in their remarks.

Over the past 100 years, the Seoul Racecourse has improved the working conditions that senior managers and senior workers have been in poor condition one by one. It is not that they will not work and will do less, but that they should work while observing laws, regulations, and systems. It is said that employment, survival rights, and safety from industrial accidents of horse racing manager workers 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 calmed down. No, the innovation that the horse racing society has unilaterally created should be completely blanked, and a new innovation plan that presupposes agony

As regional governments still play an important role as control towers, the government should find ways to eliminate overlapping investments or inefficiencies among local governments in the special zone, and to enhance their functions as special zones. In particular, I hope that the government, horse racing society and local governments can create a cooperative system to improve domestic racing horse capabilities to advance the horse racing industry. And I hope that the government and the National Assembly will join forces to seek the integration of the Horse Association Act and the Horse Industry Promotion Act from a new perspective, considering the reality that laws and budgets are still not fully supported.

Efforts to revive the horse industry, which has yet to materialize the second five-year plan for industrial development, are more important than ever. In May 2015, the company held the inaugural general meeting of the Horse Industry National Forum, a private cooperation organization that encompasses all walks of life, saying that the industry should develop into the 6th industry in a balanced way along with the horse racing industry. However, as this has drifted amid the indifference of related organizations, I hope that the inauguration of the new horse society will be an opportunity to open a new horizon for the horse industry. In 2017, the Korean Society of Animal Resources and Science changed its name to the Korean Society of Animal Science and is becoming an active participant in the development of livestock in Korea.

I hope that the 2018 martial arts year will be a year where we can remove all of these things one by one and pursue new changes. I will increase the number of members of the Korean Horse Trainer Association and make it a year where we can have a focal point. The field of horse trainers is now a very important one in the horse industry. It plays a key role in both horse racing and horse racing. The level of horses is important, but depending on how they are trained, they may or may not be a gem. The Korean Horse Association is putting a lot of effort into teaching basic skills by inviting trainers from the Crane Horse Racing Club in Japan. Let's find out what we can do together at the Korean Horse Training Association. What we will do is important, but so is how we will do it.

Among them, Cho Tae-hyun, who dreams of becoming a member of the national equestrian team on behalf of the horseback riding world, drew attention as a runner. Cho Tae-hyun, who ran as a torchbearer on the day, was running with Park Sang-young, a gold medalist in fencing in the Rio Olympics, and chanting, "I can do it." At the scene of the torchbearer, students and parents from the same school came out to cheer. Waving banners and cheering sticks, it was like enjoying a festival of people all over the world. Choi Myung-an, a teacher at Holt School who teaches Cho Tae-hyun, said, "It is an honor for my teaching student to participate in an international event, and I hope he will be a great friend based on today's feelings even after graduation.

They share their affection by mixing Jeju dialect with horse industry officials in Jeju Island, and each group connects the necessary parts, not just as a public official, but as a working-level official, showing their role as an "exemplary public official." In this way, Cho Deok-joon, head of the congratulatory department, Kang Won-myung, the horse industry official, and Oh Se-jin, the horse industry official, contributed greatly to the growth of the Jeju horse industry so far. As a result, Kang Won-myung, the official in charge of the racehorse producer association (Chairman Kang Young-jong) on the 18th, and Oh Se-jin, the official in charge, received the achievement award from the organizing committee of the 2013 Jeju Open endurance riding competition (Chairman Kim Yang-soo) on the 16th.

Unlike the usual rigid atmosphere, the atmosphere of the inauguration ceremony was due to the expectation that he was the first horse leader appointed by the Moon Jae In government, and there were applause during the inauguration speech or loud answers to Chairman Kim Nak-soon's questions. Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who seemed to have recognized the situation in which his inauguration speech had no choice but to be "dignified," shook hands and talked with all employees in front of the lobby of the main building after the inauguration ceremony. "It is true that there were concerns that he was a parachute and a non-professional at the time of the inauguration, but listening to his inauguration speech today, he seems to be gaining strength to overcome our internal distrust and exert positive influence on the outside,

At the 14th Horse Racing Industry Advancement Forum, which was last held on the 20th, CEO Kang Yong-sik explained the launch and completion through a progress report, while Jeon Sung-won, head of the KRA Business Management Department, presented the theme "Policing Direction of the Sovereign Industry Integrated Supervision Committee," and Kim Dae-yu, a horse racing reporter, presented the theme "Korea Horse Racing seen by a horse racing expert." The Horse Racing Industry Advancement Forum held a preparatory meeting in April 2010 led by Kang Yong-sik, who was the president of the Seoul Horse Racing Association at the time, and began its activities in May 2010 and has been striving to find developmental alternatives to national awareness calls and horse racing advancement through various discussions across the horse racing industry for four years until this year.

The Jeju Special Self-Governing Province announced on the 12th that it has proposed to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to revise the enforcement rules of the grassland law, which calls for the installation of horse riding facilities on ranch land. The Jeju Special Self-Governing Province explained that it has proposed the horse industry to foster it as a new growth engine industry by linking it with primary industries and tertiary industries such as tourism, leisure and sports. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs is currently revising the enforcement rules of the grassland law, which requires the inclusion of horse-related facilities, livestock experience facilities, farm landscape facilities and simple rest facilities within the scope of auxiliary facilities necessary for livestock breeding, so that they can be used without a separate grassland exclusive permit.
