According to the audit committee's statistics on the speculative industry, 11 million people entered the over-the-counter sales office as of last year, with sales reaching 5.581 trillion won. If the revision of the Individual Consumption Tax Act is passed, an additional 18.4 billion won will be collected from the admission fee, and if 20% of the sales of the over-the-counter sales of horse racing are imposed as individual consumption taxes, the Korean Horse Association will have to pay an additional 1.1162 trillion won in taxes as of last year. While the Korean Horse Association is pushing for horse racing innovation with the aim of entering Part II in 2016, a group of racehorse producers has expressed strong opposition, and the Majae Association has also said it cannot accept the proposal from the horse association and will engage in official consultations with the horse association.

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,

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."

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,

In addition, Boryeong and Guri, which have applied for the establishment and relocation of over-the-counter sales offices, are feared to intensify the conflict over the over-the-counter sales office as some civic groups and residents are protesting. The Korea Racing Authority said in late October that the evaluation of the trial operation of the Yongsan over-the-counter sales office showed that "there were still negative perceptions in the survey, but the observation showed no negative effects such as threats to school safety or damage to the surrounding environment, and most of the concerns of opposition groups were found to be unfounded." It said it would push for a phased normal opening after resuming dialogue to resolve concerns and conflicts from the opposition.

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

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.

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.

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,

The absurd discussion of imposing a tax bomb on over-the-counter sales offices instead of raising cigarette prices has been held at the National Assembly, throwing bitterness. Lawmakers from the ruling and opposition parties have shown a consensus to secure national tax revenues by raising individual consumption taxes imposed upon entry into off-the-shelf sales and establishing individual consumption taxes on over-the-counter sales, while the opposition party reiterated the content as an alternative to individual consumption taxes on cigarettes. According to the National Assembly, members of the tax subcommittee recognized the need for Hong Jong-hak, a member of the New Politics Alliance for Democracy, to raise the individual consumption tax from the current 1,000 won to 3,000 won when entering the over-the-counter sales office of horse racing on November 24, and to establish an individual consumption tax on 20% of sales for business activities.

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

I want to talk to the prime minister who speaks, not the chairman of the horse race." He also pointed out, "It is outrageous for the government, which should reduce gambling and crack down, to establish a gambling center in front of the school," adding, "The prime minister's announcement on the 17th of the plan to consolidate the gambling industry and the Yongsan video racecourse issue is very disappointing."On the 25th, the day before the press conference, the deportation task force faxed a letter with the requirements to the Prime Minister's Office, and delivered the letter to the Prime Minister's Office again after the press conference. In response, the horse racing community criticized, "Although it has already become clear that the concern over damage caused by the operation of the Yongsan OTC was a rainstorm of some opposition parties, the opposition task force is still sticking to opposition for opposition."

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
