While the second five-year plan for fostering the horse industry has been partially successful in two years at the end of 2018, the year of the golden pig has passed and the new year of the year has come again, which has not been able to overcome the limitations of improving awareness of the horse industry as a whole. In 2018, the Korean Federation of Horse Industries tested and implemented various contents to improve awareness of the right horse culture and to test the win-win model of interacting with the general public to spread the base of the horse industry. Through joint events to link the spirit of sharing, coexistence,

Nam In-sik, the head of the livestock strategy division of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, was the one who laid the foundation by taking office as a ranch before Anseong Farmland, located in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, sought a new transformation into an agricultural and livestock-based theme park. Anseong Farmland is a pilot ranch that has been operated to settle livestock in Korea in the 1960s, and its role was transferred to the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation a few years later, becoming a place to lay the foundation for livestock by improving livestock species and distributing guidelines such as feed to each livestock farm. Around 2010, with the rise of organic livestock, efforts have been made to transform it into an agricultural and livestock-based theme park due to the need for "cultivation with the people," and Nam In-sik, the managing director, has been pushing for the theme park of Anseong Farmland for two and a half years.

Since we do not have many such manpower yet, we need harmony rather than sharing. In addition, the equestrian facilities approved by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism are not only in charge of athletes, but are operated as the most important facilities for training horses, and I think it should be recognized as the most important sales market for farmers, especially as a seller of horses. Our industry is currently very poor and small in terms of industry. However, it has a very high growth potential in the future and has the potential to be spotlighted as a high-quality public sports leisure by the people.

In addition, in order to induce stable market entry by including horse meat in Nonghyup's distribution network and restaurant line, which have already been established as beef and pork, and to seek product standardization through the establishment of specifications management manuals such as the development of feed exclusively for horses, the government plans to set up a "Magyuk Brand Business Group" to introduce horse meat to the public. The National Agricultural Cooperative Federation has 139 livestock cooperatives across the country. The horse industry policy of the agricultural cooperative, which has a great influence, can affect anyone as well as 100,000 livestock union members nationwide, just like the butterfly effect. Before the new horse industry policy was released this year, Nam In-sik, managing director of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, met at the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation building in Seodaemun, Seoul, to hear detailed plans.

Recognizing that reckless competition among these industries rather hinders growth, we need to induce a campaign of harmony and co-prosperity. In addition, public relations should also be carried out to overcome the negative image of horseback riding. Horseback riding facilities are for everyone, and most horse-riding facilities are not just horse-riding businesses for consumers, but are also horse-producing, nurturing, and training institutions. The main purpose and activities are the same wherever the approval authority is. It is necessary for the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to embrace the horse-riding facilities without separating them.

I can't describe my joy because I won a horse race for the first time since the opening of the horserace. We will manage our horses more thoroughly to prevent this from happening once. I think luck followed this competition from the number draw. "Changse" is a leading horse, so I wanted to receive the inner number, but I had a good feeling to receive the gate number 1. I thought that jockey Lee Hyun-jong might feel a lot of pressure because he still has little experience in horse racing, so I ordered him to trust his horse and develop the race as calmly as possible because it doesn't matter if he wins a prize. Usually, there are many opinions that verification is needed for the jama of the "Forrest Camp" is needed over 1400M, but I feel that "Chase" will be okay for medium and long distances.

However, it has high growth potential in the future and has the potential to be spotlighted as a high-quality public sports leisure. In particular, it has been proven in advanced countries of the horse industry that livestock farming is a new alternative livestock industry that has high growth potential and a high vision for added value. Now is the time to take a breath for two steps forward, and the government needs to think about ways to take the second step forward rather than quantitative growth. It is a very important time to shake off the image damaged by the horse racing corruption and join forces to become a true sports sport.

Equestrian facilities are all horse-use facilities, and most horse-riding facilities are not just horse-use facilities for consumers, but are also horse-producing, nurturing, and training institutions. The main purpose and activities are the same wherever the approval authority is. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs needs to embrace the horse-riding facilities without separating them. This is a time when professional manpower is very scarce, and it is an important time for the horse industry. Since the skill of training horses is not a simple skill, farmers who simply produce horses cannot solve this part alone. Since we do not have many such manpower yet, we need harmony rather than sharing.

I believe it is a desirable idea to build a policy control tower for each local government through the center. The policy control of the production, fostering, and training of horses, which are livestock, is necessary to create an efficient management system in which horse riding facilities and farmers can quickly share information and receive what they need through regional cooperatives that have already established branches. Recognizing that reckless competition among these industries rather hinders growth, we need to induce a campaign of harmony and co-prosperity. In addition, public relations should be carried out to overcome the negative image of horseback riding.

In order for the agendas presented through the discussion to be applied to actual industries, it is necessary to analyze successful advanced overseas cases and ask for help from overseas experts if necessary. Looking at the successful case of France that we benchmarked, the central government led the way to control the industry collectively during the transition period, separate operation of specialized agencies under its jurisdiction, and establishment of various policies for each sector have achieved the results of rebuilding the entire industry. In particular, we systematized children's education to increase future consumption demand, and as a result, we succeeded in establishing a very satisfactory riding industry.

Since the enactment of the Industrial Promotion Act at the end of 2011, the horse industry has grown rapidly due to the efforts of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, but has gone through a transitional period in recent years. I think this time is not a recession but a period of leap forward. As we believe that the period of leap forward will soon enter the maturity period, we believe that what we need most is the training of professional manpower before going to the stage of stabilization. Industrial training through specialized institutions is essential so that professional manpower with basic education can be directly put into the actual industry.

Hanwoo went through a similar process. At that time, the unimproved Korean beef could only grow up to 300 to 400 kg, while the "Sharore" variety was evaluated as having very low competitiveness as it can grow up to 1 ton. Despite the fact that it was a difficult breed to compete in, it succeeded in increasing the body weight to 700 to 800 kg based on castration by repeated improvement of purebred cattle, and set out to differentiate it from imported meat with its unique taste. What is a Korean-style horse for horseback riding? Unlike racehorses, which have set targets for improvement under the Livestock Act, there is no set standard for horseback riding. The "Hallama" in Korea has the right size to stand on. Then, how far is the "Hallama" in Korea? Hallama is a cross between Jeju horse and Thoroughbred. As the cross between Jeju horse and Thoroughbred continues, there are 1st, 2nd, and 3rd crosshairs, and there are no guidelines on which crosshairs to be defined as Hallama.

Some discretion is required, but due to excessive authority, it was operated in a random manner that was far from the standard. One instructor took away all existing customers when he quit Anseong Farmland. Nonghyup is making efforts to make it easier for livestock farmers to approach the horse industry with horse riding experiences for visitors while making Anseong Farmland. It has been making efforts to establish horseback riding as a national sport, and it was necessary to determine which "horse breeds" are suitable for horse riding sports, youth horse riding, and rural horse riding. The issue of varieties is not limited to horses. Holstein is currently the only cow in Korea, but there are about 200 cows worldwide. This started when German engineers at the Handok Ranch decided that "Holstein is suitable for Korea" and brought in Holstein.

According to a recent survey of members who raise livestock, such as beef cattle farmers, in order to quit the livestock industry and sell the ranch, they have to pay taxes, so they cannot quit and cannot afford to continue. At this time, I thought I should get off to a good start because the 'horse' emerged as an economic breed and the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation started on a trial basis. As a result, while working as a ranch at Anseong Farmland, I have been working for two and a half years to remove cattle facilities and create horse riding facilities. Currently, many cattle breeders can only be traded in union facilities under the Cooperative Market Act in the sale of livestock under the Livestock Act. However, due to the absence of the Horse Trading Act, the current horse riding site has not been standardized for trading. There is still a risk that horses have to trust their intuition to buy, and Nam In-sik was no exception.

Now that I'm three years old, I'm wondering if I should run next year at the horserace. If not, I'm thinking about how it would be to retire and become a seed horse and crossbreed with the 'Triple Nine'. It's a volatile idea because it's a plan. I've only been seeing each other for 10 years now, but I think it's wrong to buy a seed horse from a foreign country at a high price so that the horses of a specific boomer can monopolize the race. I think it would be better to raise a horse like 'Triple Nine' in a policy manner in the horserace community. It's an unrealistic story, but I sometimes think about whether it would be okay to donate 'Triple Nine' to the horse community.

Nam In-sik, a managing director who worked as a ranch at Anseong Farmland with a mission to turn it into a theme park, said he had many difficulties in the implementation process. In order to bring in horses, the company remodeled the cattle on the ranch site into a massage in order to bring in the horses while turning Anseong Farmland into an agricultural and livestock-based theme park. In this work, a contribution to destruction of grasslands, the installation of sprinklers, and fire-resistant paint were required. According to the Sports Facility Act according to the horse-use business, a contribution to destruction of grasslands had to be paid, and the installation of fire prevention devices according to multi-use facilities had to be made. At that time, grasslands were 3,000 pyeong, so if they were actually punished, they were on the verge of paying a hefty fine."

It also said it will continue to make various attempts in the horse industry for Nonghyup members. Nonghyup will develop an experience ranch tour in the union sector, a horse riding experience program at Anseong Farmland and a ride course, and is striving to produce horse meat to introduce proven horse meat to consumers. Launched in 2013, Nonghyup's horse meat brand Well Meat is reaching consumers not only by part of horse meat but also by retort food, and has recently made efforts to introduce horse meat to the nation's distribution network by selling it at E-Mart, a large retailer. When asked why Nonghyup entered the horse industry, Nam In-sik, managing director, replied immediately, "It is to ease the difficulties of livestock farmers."

There are many differences from 'Triple Nine', but I think the future of 'Malibu Sun' is also good and I'm thinking about following it. There used to be a mare called 'Dolphin Lady' and it became a mare after retirement. There were only three male horses crossed with 'Ecton Park', and the last one was 'Four Nines', 'Black Arrow' and the last one was 'Forever Young'. I did a driving test yesterday, and I don't know how it will be going forward. The Blue Flag, which is in the second division, is a very expensive horse that has studied in the U.S. for a year and participated in all major mare races, but my grades are not good yet. I did well in general racing.

I think it is worth trying in the medium and long distances. I would like to thank everyone who helped me win the championship.In September 2014, the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation announced a plan to develop the National Agricultural Cooperative Horse Industry under the vision of "securing new growth engines for the 6th industries in the future by fostering the horse industry" and the creation of a base for producing and distributing horse meat and a consumer market centered on the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation. With differentiation in the role of each institution, the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation put forward its vision to create a hub for the horse industry of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation and to complete the rural horse industry centered on cooperatives through the entire process of production, supply, consulting, consignment of assistance and sales.

Currently, there is a recreational tea in Jangsu, but Gujeolitis needs to be treated more, and there is a problem with the seed bone, so it needs to be treated. Other than that, there is nothing too bad. For a 6-year-old, he is still in very good condition. I want him to stop retiring because he is 6, but I don't think so. Since I have time, I will give him enough rest until next spring and talk to his assistant teacher Kim Young-kwan about his future while checking his condition. The decision will be made around March next year. There is a saying called 'Blue Chipper,' followed by 'Malibu Sun.' Last year, 'Blue Chipper' won first place in his debut and went to the Gyeongnam Provincial Ilbo Cup as the second race, but his performance was not good. I think I got a little hurt then.

When I sent it to the animal hospital, I heard that there was a cellulitis, so I did PRP procedure. I took a rest for more than two months by sending him to Jangsu Ranch to take a rest. On October 7, there was a KRA Classic race. Some say that the runner-up was beaten by the "Cheongdam Axe," and after the procedure, he sent it out to check his condition ahead of the presidential race on November 4. At that time, he complained to Lim, "Don't think about winning first place, run as if you're taking a driving test without thinking about your ranking, and you'll be in big trouble if you get hurt." Still, I came in second place, had confidence, and I was confident that we would win if I went out to the presidential race.

Following the feat of advancing to the final of the Dubai World Cup last year, he won his fourth consecutive victory this year, and the 37th Grand Prix on December 9, achieving all his goals as a racehorse. It was possible because behind "Triple Nine," which set an unprecedented record, there was Choi Byung-bu, who respected and cared for horses and people. "The reason why Triple Nine was able to come this far is the interest and support of the fans and customers," he said, first of all, thanking the fans. After three consecutive presidential victories, he won four consecutive gold medals this year and won a star in 40 runs, but words do not express his feelings. Triple Nine has been healthy until today because of the support of all the people and fans who care about Triple Nine.

After being forced to run at his own expense of 120 million won, he became speechless. After retiring at the age of four, he had to use the seed horse for breeding, but when he came to Korea, he didn't even see the light of the seed horse because it was not verified. In the event of an overseas expedition, the system needs to be improved, such as not only retiring from the horseradish society, but also managing it additionally and putting it into free breeding. If a good horse horse comes out, isn't that true domestic horse production? Otherwise, who would go on an overseas expedition at the risk of high cost? Ten years have passed since his initial term ended.

Korean horses can run after 6 p.m. when foreign horses finish their training. If it's an international race, you're supposed to work out together, but since you're working out late in a state that's already ruined, will you be able to train properly? Even though you go on an expedition with a janitor and spend a lot of money, there is no CCTV in the Mabang. We prepare for the event at a disadvantage, let alone privileges of the home ground. Major King, who won the 2013 Agriculture Minister's Cup, was selected as the third generation best horse in Korea, and went on an expedition to the U.S. in accordance with the Korean Racing Authority's obligation to conduct overseas expeditions.

Ahead of this competition, the number of days is not long, but I have strengthened my endurance by taking a long distance, which is considered to have sufficient potential. I will do my best to manage it with the goal of bigger races in the future so that there will be good results. Our manager of Mabang is proud to be the most diligent and sincere in Seoul. All the managers have come out early in the morning to manage their horses, and I am also visiting many places to find good horses to meet them. In addition to the rise of the jockey Lee Hyun-jong, I think the Trinity is working well. I think that if everyone is not happy and humble, the good energy will continue. Thank you to the boss and all the people involved.
