The announcement of the Korean Horse Association seems to be similar to the government's "Five-Year Comprehensive Plan for Promotion of the Horse Industry," and it is questionable whether the government will implement a policy to delegate the horse industry to the Korean Horse Association. 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.

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,

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, and that people with disabilities or difficulties in emotion and behavior will stand at the center of the horse industry to revitalize the rural economy and improve the quality of life for the people.

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 Korea's rehabilitation horseback riding. In 2021, experts from various fields related to the horse industry are working together to attract the World Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Conference to Korea.

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. These achievements have been scientifically verified by contributing to international academic journals. Other researchers in Korea are also applying the rehabilitation horse riding program to various disorders such as ADHD, Internet game use disorder, and intellectual disability and publishing positive research results.

We will actively foster young farmers who will lead the revitalization of rural areas such as 4-H and professional farmers who will lead the industrialization of the future growth of agriculture through customized education for female farmers and farmers returning to farming and rural areas. We will support the improvement of the quality of life of farmers by strengthening safety and welfare such as disaster prevention for farmers. Dear families of the agri-food industry! And people! 2018 is the year of the 'Golden Dog.' Dogs are considered another family as they are the friendliest pets with people. Rural Development Administration officials will approach farmers and the public with this kind of friendliness, listen to the voices of the field and practice them.

This is because the thorny path of the horse industry, which began when a horse was at the center of last year's historical event, seems to have continued this year. It is very sad to think about disabled children who sit on horses and smile happily on them that I met at the scene of rehabilitation riding. Korea's rehabilitation horse began as a social and public interest project at Samsung Electronics Hiking Troupe in 2001. 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.

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, in the "Measures to Improve the Employment Structure of Horse Management" signed last year by the participation of the two major labor unions, the Korean Horse Racing Authority, the Euljiro Committee, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the Korean Horse Racing Authority will hold a working-level committee and a joint horse racing workshop

In order to expand exports of fresh agricultural products, we will support difficult technologies in the field, such as leading maintenance technologies after harvest, and strive to transfer customized agricultural technologies to developing countries as well as strategic cooperation with advanced agricultural countries. Fourth, we will focus on fostering regional specialized industries and nurturing agricultural personnel, the future of rural areas, for balanced national development. We will create new added value by developing secondary and tertiary industries such as processing, distribution, experience, and tourism to local resources and agricultural products, and contribute to balanced national development by revitalizing the local economy and creating jobs by promoting 'Innovative City Season 2' in earnest in line with the relocation of public institutions to local regions.

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,

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 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,

As regional governments still play an important role as control towers, they should be able to eliminate overlapping investments or inefficiencies among local governments in the special zone, and the government should find ways 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 the capacity of domestic racing horses 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.

First, we will strive to produce food stably, such as stabilizing the supply and demand of rice, and to produce safe food for the people. We will expand the base for proper production of rice and production of field crops through the development of technology for mechanizing field crops using rice paddies, and promote rice consumption by revitalizing processing industries such as the development of varieties and processed foods exclusively for rice flour. We will develop varieties and cultivation technologies that can adapt to climate change such as drought and heat waves at all times, introduce tropical and subtropical crops to foster them as new income crops, and strive to develop rapid control technologies against diseases and pests. We will establish a safe food production and supply system such as eco-friendly ecological agriculture and safety management of agricultural materials to protect the people's healthy table.

Looking back on the past year, I am deeply grateful to everyone who worked and worked in various fields with a sense of responsibility to protect the horse industry and the educational field rather than expectations and hopes for the development of the Korean horse industry, and I hope that last year's painful memories will be handed over to the old year and the new year will begin as a blessed day with a strong hoof sound. The second five-year plan for the development of the horse industry has not yet been materialized and efforts to revive the horse industry, which only lives like a plant human, are more important than ever. At the end of May 2015, the company held the inaugural general meeting of the Horse Industry National Forum,

The value of life that people aim for is changing little by little. In the past, work was a priority, but now the weight is on that work-life balance is important. The rise of the travel and tourism industries and the various sports attract attention reflect this. With this trend, Gyeonggi-do Province has been supporting horseback riding to be reborn as a "healing leisure sport." Until now, Gyeonggi-do Province has designated Yongin, Hwaseong, and Icheon as special zones for horse industry and has been building infrastructure for the horse industry by supporting horse riding facilities. Last year, the "Youth Equestrian Festival with Family," a festival of horseback riders, was held at the site of the new Gyeonggi-do Office in Gwanggyo, Suwon, which received great response.

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. We will gather the wisdom of the members of the Korean Horse Training Association to explore the direction for the horse trainers.

Currently, horseback riding is in an endless fog, and horse racing is overcast with dark clouds. This was helped by the media and broadcasting reports of bad events related to the horse industry. It is time to think a lot about how to overcome this crisis in the horse industry. Horse racing is putting a lot of effort into making a way for horse racing to become an international race, but compared to that effort, the effect is not that great yet. However, I think there will be consequences if you keep trying. Racing Media is also struggling with unexpected things this year, but I'm sure it will overcome them wisely. The Korean Horse Training Association, which I am in charge of, did not have much activity in 2017.

The role and duties of the quarantine headquarters are becoming increasingly heavy due to the global spread of national disaster-type livestock infectious diseases and high-risk plant diseases, the continued emergence of new and mutated animal diseases, increased demand for field-solving research, and increased public expectations for agricultural and livestock safety. As a national standard quarantine and quarantine agency, the Agriculture, Livestock and Quarantine Headquarters will play its role as a watchman to defend against livestock diseases and plant pests at the forefront this year.To this end, the quarantine headquarters intends to focus on setting up four core tasks with the goal of "One-Health, field-oriented, communication cooperation, future response, consumer-oriented, and science-based" and "FIRST; Field, Innovation, Responsibility, Service, and Trust."

Firefighters experience severe stress due to primary trauma of experiencing direct injuries or life threats at disaster sites, secondary trauma experiences of witnessing the suffering of disaster victims, harrowing sights, damaged bodies, etc., and the psychological and physical stress levels of police and firefighters, both at home and abroad, are high. Overseas, we are running rehabilitation horse riding programs for firefighters, soldiers, and police, and there has been no research on the effectiveness of firefighters. Our association was the first to successfully verify the field applicability, safety, and psychological effects of EAL research, which was first attempted in Korea,

In addition, through ground activities that do not control the value of words, which were mainly used as tools of riding, we have created an opportunity to increase the value of words by utilizing the overall value of words as objects that interact and influence each other in equal relationships with people through ground activities that do not control the value of words. Currently, the economic scale of Korea's horse industry is not very large, but the development of rehabilitation horses will serve as a warm bridge to care for the difficult lives of marginalized people along with the creation of jobs in the horse industry and the revitalization of the rural economy, and will improve the quality of life of the people.

Horseback riding and horse racing are the "king of sports," and many people consider service or donation in the rehabilitation horse sector to be the highest level, and the HETI General Assembly is attended by opinion leaders in the horse industry and welfare sector, mainly in advanced countries. Along with the intensive lighting of the Korean rehabilitation horse racing and horse industry, the HETI General Assembly will have an opportunity to raise Korea's national prestige by exposing various fields such as K-POP, food, Taekwondo, and IT. This will raise Korea's status as a country that has entered the ranks of advanced economies and cultures.

From the production farms that raise horses to the general public who enjoy horseback riding and horse racing, the disabled and their families who crave "rehabilitation horse" as their lives change through horseback riding, all seem to want to find hope through love and words, but it seems that the door is not wide open in our society yet. HETI provides the latest educational information on rehabilitation horses, provides educational and training opportunities such as seminars and workshops, and holds a global general meeting every three years to support a wide range of horse-mediating activities such as exchanges, cooperation, academic development and network formation among its members.

In addition, various communication channels have been established for the development of the animal medicine industry, including on-site meetings focused on public-private communication, workshops, and regular operation of visiting civil service counseling centers. By promoting animal protection and improving the operation system of animal protection centers, we have reduced the euthanasia rate of abandoned animals. Last year, the quarantine headquarters worked tirelessly to create a "healthy livestock environment for animals and the people" based on the efforts of all the employees and to realize "border quarantine to create a foundation for the agricultural industry and protect the agricultural and livestock environment." Employees of the Agricultural and Livestock Quarantine Headquarters and the people who take care of the Agricultural and Livestock Quarantine Headquarters!
