The race will also be reorganized into a system to select the best horses by distance, age, and gender, strengthening the system for preliminary, main and final races, while all G-race races, which determine the highest horses by condition, will be conducted as open races and six mixed open races will be opened to foreign racers. However, as the innovation plan of the horse society was announced, horse racing officials, including racehorse producers, faced each other with a clear objection, demanded the need for preparation time and support measures to reduce the production base of domestic horses and strengthen the competitiveness of domestic horses, and the need to raise the prize money in connection with the abolition of the foreign horse purchase ceiling.

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, which will encompass related organizations such as related academic and educational organizations, rehabilitation horseback riding instructors and therapists, and various experts and workers in the horse industry, will work together to develop and globalize rehabilitation horseback riding in Korea. In 2021, experts from various fields related to the horse industry are working together to attract the World Rehabilitation

Meanwhile, there is controversy over the recent filing of a compensation suit against the individual opposition by the society. In response, the opposition claimed, "I did not know that a public enterprise would even file a lawsuit against an individual," and "I asked to talk without preconditions, but I am setting my own conditions, such as filing a complaint." The society that filed the lawsuit is only in accordance with the court's order to file a complaint. An official from the society said, "The person subject to the lawsuit first requested the court to file a complaint and accepted the court's decision. He said, "I don't necessarily want to receive money through a lawsuit, but I'm just trying to maintain the state of seizure mechanically."

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 was found to be very effective in 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 there was a judgment that rehabilitation horseback riding could be a new therapeutic method that could be combined with existing treatments in the treatment of ADHD.

What is unfortunate, however, is that despite the fact that it has been a year of passing by, which is newly writing 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 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

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.

Meanwhile, the Seoul Racing Authority also opposes the Korean Racing Authority's plan to innovate horse racing. The Seoul Racing Authority has formed an emergency committee to respond to the horse racing innovation drive. The emergency committee says it will prepare demands that reflect the positions of the two sides and hold official consultations with the horse racing society. The Korea Racing Authority originally planned to finalize and announce a horse racing innovation plan in November, but it is facing difficulties due to strong opposition from related organizations including producers. The Korea Racing Authority cannot easily give up the innovation plan because Chairman Si Myung-kwan is demanding a strong push to enter Part II, and producers cannot watch the obvious contraction of the domestic horse production base, so the labor over the promotion of the integrated horse racing system is unlikely to subside easily.

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, triggered by the death of two horse racing managers in Pukyong (unknown, but two union members killed themselves last year at the Seoul Racecourse), public opinion was formed and discussions were held that job insecurity, excessive competition systems, and poor working conditions of horse racing workers should be improved. In the process, the managers in Seoul drove them to the dichotomy logic that because employment was stable and competitiveness was low, they worked less and took more salaries. The history of Seoul and Pukyong, and the work experience and average age of horse racing workers were not discussed at all, and the media reported the logic

Instead of establishing an individual consumption tax on cigarettes, we are asking the government to impose an individual consumption tax on the burn racetrack, which is a concept of 'gambling tax', to make up for the shortfall in tax revenue." Lawmaker Hong said, "The over-the-counter sales office of the race is a facility where people bet while watching the race through video, and is recognized as a speculative space, not a leisure space. In response, they argue that strengthening the individual consumption tax on over-the-counter sales offices has a positive effect on suppressing such speculative activities. The partial amendment to the individual consumption tax law, represented by Rep. Hong Jong-hak, calls for a three-fold increase in taxes included in the over-the-counter admission fee (2000 won) from the current 1,000 won to 3,000 won, and an additional 20% tax on the current 10% of the ticket sales as leisure tax, which is a local tax.

Since 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 horse racing 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.

Looking back on the past year, I am deeply grateful to everyone who worked and worked in various fields with the responsibility to protect the horse industry and the educational field rather than the expectations and hopes for the development of our horse industry, and I hope that the painful memories of last year will be handed over to the old year and that the new year of 2018 will begin with a strong sound of horse hooves with a new heart. 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,

We will further increase the number of members of the Korean Horse Training 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. We will gather the wisdom of the members of the Korean Horse

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. It is true that due to various conditions, there were restrictions on activities. I hope that 2018 will be a year when we can

On the morning of the 26th, the deportation committee of the video horse gambling center in Yongsan held a press conference in front of the government building in Seoul and demanded a meeting with Prime Minister Chung Hong-won, saying, "We cannot talk to the horse society, which causes conflicts between residents and complains of residents and teachers who oppose the opening of the over-the-counter sales center." The deportation committee issued a "letter of appeal to Prime Minister Chung Hong-won" and criticized, "The horse society falsely reported the distance between the school and the video racetrack, and pushed for the relocation of the place while violating the pre-consultation regulations with the gambling industry integration supervisory committee," and criticized, "It attempted a surprise opening even though the head of Yongsan-gu, the Seoul mayor, and local lawmakers all oppose it."

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, applause or loud answers were poured out to Chairman Kim Nak-soon's questions. Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who seemed to recognize 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. After the inauguration ceremony, an official from the Korea Racing Authority said, "It is true that there were concerns that he was a parachute or a non-professional at the time of the cabinet government,

On the other hand, he said, "I will fully repay the employees who work hard, are creative, faithfully respond to the call of the state, and contribute to the people's interests on behalf of the state," and added, "Please support and support me generously when I meet your expectations." He also said, "The chairman protects the institution and organization, and the members of the organization trust and protect the chairman. That is what the Korean Horse Association promises to prosper the community." Finally, Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who said, "The Korean Horse Association will be different and should be different," said, "Let's all become the leaders of creating a new history of the Korean Horse Association with a confident attitude.

The second task can be concentrated as a response to the standardization of the horse racing industry. Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who said that even with global trends, generating profits through horse racing is difficult for the future, mentioned the crisis of closing the over-the-counter sales office. "As a top professional manager of the horse industry, I know that there are some concerns and voices of concern," said Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who revealed his career as a professional manager and a scholar of lectures and research on culture and arts at universities and said, "The CEO realized that the ability to present the right direction and solve problems is the first virtue." In particular, based on his experience as an aide to the first union leader

As soon as he took office, he said that he would hurry to start processing each department's work. In fact, he reportedly received reports on each department's work on the day of his inauguration, last weekend, and the 24th. Most welcome of all is the recognition that "the Korean Horse Association is neither an intelligence agency nor an institution that requires special security," and emphasized that "we will ensure that all possible areas of work can be carried out in a transparent manner." He also said that this is the shortcut to restoring trust to the public. Analysts say that the remarks were made in consideration of the deterioration of the image of the Korean Horse Association and the horse industry, which was triggered by former chairmen cutting off or avoiding some media outlets in accordance with the advice of some followers.

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.

Chairman Kim Nak-soon was first called as the 36th chairman of the Korea Racing Authority and said it was a personal honor. 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.
