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.

You can see the record of having 1 million horses during the Goryeo Dynasty. This indicates that Korea was a horse powerhouse in Central Asia and around the world. Horse experts also evaluate that Korean guahamas, or Jeju horses, are much stronger than Mongolian horses. Given that not only citizens but also many foreigners showed interest and reaction to the Eurasian Altai Cultural Exchange Exhibition, which was held at Gwanghwamun Plaza in 2017 along with the Seoul Horse Culture Festival of the Korean Federation, I am confident that the horse industry can become a major policy of Korea in the future like K-POP. Like many Korean stars who have shone in the Republic of Korea, such as Kim Yu-na,

Therefore, I am confident that it will ultimately establish itself as an important position in the livestock industry in Korea in the future. To that end, we need to develop a system and build a control tower that will enable the training and management of experts above all else, and the main goal should be to revitalize the youth horse riding of consumers in the future, which will increase demand. In addition, investment and efforts should be made to cultivate and assist horse producers in case demand increases. As for the successful cases of France that we will benchmark, the government led the way in controlling the industry to provide various supports and public relations, and quickly established an industrial foundation.

Perhaps that's why there were heated candlelight vigils and major changes in the country. Unfortunately, the horse industry, among others, was at the center of the news and delivered bad images of horse riding every day. An incident caused tremendous damage to the entire horse industry, which forced many people, including myself, to overcome very difficult times. The first comprehensive horse industry plan came as an unexpected moment for the Korean horse industry, which was growing rapidly, but in some ways, I think it provided an opportunity to publicize the unfamiliar area of the 'horse riding' to the public. Of course, it is believed that noise marketing has created a bad image to succeed,

Nevertheless, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has lost confidence in the government and disappointed farmers and horse industry workers to delay the establishment of the second five-year comprehensive plan for fostering the horse industry, which is stipulated by law, without providing any clear reasons for policy change. Moreover, in the absence of the announcement of the second five-year comprehensive plan for fostering the horse industry by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the Korean Horse Association's Horse Industry Promotion Headquarters announced in September 2017 that it has divided the period into three stages every five years by 2030 to grow horse industry-related projects with the goal of creating

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 of THAAD, were a series of national challenges that could not be relieved internally and externally. On the other hand, there are reports that Choi Soon-sil's daughter, Jeong Yu-ra, was given preferential treatment for horse riding, causing the illegal admission to Ewha Womans University. The government's "First Five-Year Comprehensive Plan for Promotion of the Horse Industry" from 2012 to 2016 has already expanded the base of the horse industry in the agricultural sector, and as of 2016, the base of the horse industry has already been formed,

Horses start walking and running as soon as they are born, but people do not realize their accurate motor functions until well over 10 years have passed. If you compare the horse industry development method to a person, 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 rehabilitation horse industry will develop so that people who wisely overcome the crisis will show interest and affection for the horse industry, the horse industry will take a powerful leap like a horse in the new year, and people with disabilities or difficulties in emotion and behavior will stand at the center of the horse industry to revitalize the rural economy

Founded in 1969, the Korea Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Association has 881 centers that specialize in rehabilitation horseback riding, and 4,800 rehabilitation horse leaders provide rehabilitation horse riding programs to 66,000 participants. This is possible because there are 62,000 volunteers, thousands of donors, and 7,800 rehabilitation horse horses. The centers are established and operated by donations, and many volunteers are directly and indirectly involved in the operation of the centers, from feeding them to feeding them. Volunteers who directly participate in the classes focus on helping the rider by leading the horse or walking next to the horse. In the new year, rehabilitation horseback riding will be expanded and distributed

test008

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

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.

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,

test008

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

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

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.

test008

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.

test008

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.

At the symposium held to commemorate the launch of the KRA Horse Industry Research Institute, KRA Chairman Jang Tae-pyeong thanked the presenters, debaters and participants in a greeting, saying, "The Korean horse industry is facing a difficult phase due to changes in conditions and environment, including the recent economic situation at home and abroad, and at the same time, we are facing an opportunity to take a new leap forward with the implementation of the Horse Industry Promotion Act and the government's five-year comprehensive plan to foster the horse industry," adding, "I hope today's symposium will serve as a venue to promote the development of the Korean horse industry." He also said, "We hope that the KRA Horse Industry Research Institute will be able to achieve its purpose and purpose well, fulfill its original function and role as a specialized research institute, set up its research direction properly, and faithfully carry out the urgent tasks."
