A lot of efforts have been made to break down the existing misconception that only a few people can enjoy horseback riding. In order to popularize horse-riding sports and expand the base, large and small events were planned and held every year, and we approached citizens with various cultural festivals, enjoyed, and joined them. The Korean Federation of Horse Industry, in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Korean Horse Association, which are the central pillars of the horse industry policy, always strives to make the government's horse industry policy a hope for the people.

The inspection committee has only the authority to file a complaint with an investigative agency or request an investigation into the contents of the report. In 2009, a bill was submitted to the National Assembly to grant special judicial police rights to government officials who monitor illegal gambling, but it was not processed. "Illegal gambling is carried out by organized crime groups that operate as branch organizations and manage membership with borrowed-name accounts." He stressed that the establishment of a pan-governmental crackdown body is essential to crack down on them effectively. It also proposed a thorough recovery of profits from illegal gambling organizations. In other words, tens of millions of won in fines are too light for these organizations that earn hundreds of billions of won.

Australia's Victoria state has recently signed an MOU with state police agencies to block illegal betting, suggesting that South Korea should also strengthen its control over illegal markets through close cooperation between government agencies and implementers. Kang Seok-gu, a researcher at the Korea Institute for Criminal Policy Studies, expressed concern about the policy direction of the Commission on Integrated Surveillance of the Enforcement Industry, which was launched in the wake of the so-called "Sea Story" incident in 2006. He pointed out that the Audit Committee, which expected to carry out management and supervision of the remnants of the gambling industry along with the legal and illegal markets, has been focusing only on the control of the legal gambling industry. The new illegal market analyzed that illegal horse racing and illegal sports betting through mobile and the Internet have rapidly spread.

Hong Kong's soccer betting, which raised sales by more than 56 percent by lowering the margin rate from 17.9 percent to 15.7 percent, and horse racing and sports betting, which developed various types of betting, were examples of strengthening competitiveness, and the police, the Ministry of Home Affairs, as well as the media, NGOs, financial institutions and portal site operators are making all-out efforts to crack down on illegal betting. Meanwhile, he introduced cases in which illegal organizations that have established a strong online user environment operate servers overseas targeting Korea, warning that if Korea fails to lay the foundation for systematic management of illegal gambling problems, it could be out of touch. In particular, Malaysia announced that the government's control is at a level that does not function properly, with illegal organizations mobilizing gangsters to terrorize employees belonging to the horse racing organization.

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. In the process,

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,

Seven years have passed since the world's only horse industry promotion law was enacted and implemented, but the most important agricultural law revision in the riding sector has not been made. In order to install a rural horse-riding facility, it is necessary to change the existing farmland to sports land, but the excessive burden of farmland conversion is a big burden. In order to improve the reality that many rural horse-riding facilities are currently operating without permission and without permission, it must be resolved during the second horse-industry plan. Only then will the demand for the production of horseback riding be activated, and it can lead to the generation of profits for members of professional horse-riding producers.

The government's opaque horse industry policy is shrinking the horse industry's economic outlook and foundation, and the impact of our funeral industry is significant, and the funeral industry businesses and workers are also worried about the future industry's prospects. In order to dispel the concerns of farmers and horse industry-related workers, continuous support for the horse industry promotion policy, which has already been firmly established as the government's agricultural policy, is more urgent than ever. In 2018, we look forward to realizing a more active horse industry promotion policy so that the domestic horse industry base and rural horse industry conditions can be improved and actual income growth can be achieved for horse industry workers.

We will try to listen to the good opinions of experts presented through international symposiums and reflect them in legislation," he said, announcing that as the illegal gambling industry flourishes, funds that will be returned to society through HKJC are being used as a source of funds for criminal organizations. The reasons for the popularity of the illegal market include high refund rates, rebates, and credit betting, competitiveness that is different from the institutional gambling industry in terms of user convenience, securing technology levels to avoid crackdowns, and aggressive marketing.The HKJC explained the situation in Hong Kong that it is strengthening the competitiveness of the legal market while managing the illegal market not to encroach on the legal market through government-wide crackdown efforts.

At an international symposium to prevent the spread of illegal gambling held for the first time in Korea, experts from all walks of life at home and abroad voiced the need to strengthen the competitiveness of the legal gambling industry to prevent the spread of illegal gambling. From 2 p.m. on the 22nd, the International Symposium on the Prevention of the Proliferation of Illegal Gambling for the Cultivation of the Underground Economy was successful, hosted by Kim Woo-nam, a lawmaker of the New Politics Alliance for Democracy, and member of the Saenuri Party, Kyung Dae-soo, and co-hosted by the Korea Institute for Criminal Policy (KIC) and the JoongAng Ilbo. The symposium was successful with about 600 participants, including members of the National Assembly's Agricultural and Marine Committee, CEO of the Hong Kong Zaki Club (HKJC), Scott Thomas Matthew, former Malaysian Horse Racing Re-decision committee.

In the end, the committee shortened the pilot operation period by one month until the end of September to minimize conflicts with local residents that are currently occurring in connection with the test opening. In October last year, the evaluation committee said that the operation of the over-the-counter sales office in Yongsan did not negatively affect the community. The evaluation committee said that the observation results showed 4.10 points (on a nine-point scale, the higher the score, the higher the hazard), which is more positive than the negative impact from the operation of the over-the-counter sales office in Yongsan. However, the committee decided to push for the resumption of dialogue to resolve the concerns and conflicts of the opposition rather than the hasty opening, and the Yongsan over-the-counter sales office has remained closed.

Nevertheless, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced in September 2017 that the government has been losing trust in the government and disappointing farmers and horse industry workers to delay the establishment of the second five-year comprehensive plan to foster the horse industry, which is stipulated by the law, without providing clear reasons for policy changes. In the absence of the announcement of the second five-year comprehensive plan to foster 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

However, the Horse Industry Promotion Act was enacted in 2011 by the government as an alternative to increasing rural income at the expense of the agricultural sector to strengthen the export competitiveness of the manufacturing industry. It is part of the government's long-term agricultural policy, not a temporary one.The government's "First Five-Year Comprehensive Plan for the 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 industry has been formed, including 2,278 horse industry businesses, 479 horse racing grounds, and 16,662 horse industry workers.

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 the launch of missiles such as ICBMs led to international security crises, including the U.S. and Japan, and economic crises caused by China's retaliation against THAAD, and it was a series of national challenges that could not be relieved internally and externally. Perhaps because of such domestic and international circumstances, the comprehensive plan to foster the horse industry, which is the central plan of the Korean horse industry,

Volunteers who participate directly in the classes focus on helping the rider by leading the horse or walking next to the horse. It is said that rehabilitation horseback riding will be expanded and distributed mainly in public horse riding sites in the new year. How about sharing warm hearts and exercising through volunteering? The Industrial Promotion Act was implemented at the end of 2011, and the second five-year plan will be announced soon. I think it will be a timely prescription for the horse industry in difficult situations. Horses start walking and running as soon as they are born, but humans do not show their exact motor functions until well over 10 years later.

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 continue to encompass 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 horse riding.

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,

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.

Whether voluntarily or not, racing, where people are dying, should stop. It is human nature that a good racehorse can come out only when people are peaceful, safe, and happy. Fortunately, the "Measures to Improve the Employment Structure of Horse Management" signed last year by the participation of the two major labor unions, the Korea Racing Authority, the Euljiro Committee, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs decided to hold a working-level meeting of the horse racing committee and a joint workshop for horse racing to discuss issues related to horse racing and practical affairs. It is hoped that communication between the horse racing society and horse racing-related organizations will be facilitated and the voices

However, the task force opposed to the trial opening of the Yongsan branch said, "The trial opening of the Yongsan branch was decided by surprise theft without residents' knowledge," and continued by arguing that the opening of a gambling center that produces garbage, traffic paralysis, drunken people, gambling addiction, family breakdown and violent crimes should never be allowed. Eventually, as the Let's Run CCC Yongsan issue emerged as a social issue, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs held a meeting on over-the-counter sales centers in Yongsan in August last year under the direction of Prime Minister Chung Hong-won. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs instructed the Korean Horse Association to shorten the pilot operation period of the Yongsan over-the-counter sales center by one month and form an evaluation committee consisting of neutral and objective personnel to devise and implement a plan to operate transparently and fairly.

Seoul Racecourse has improved the working conditions that senior managers and senior workers have been in poor condition over the past 100 years. It's not that I'm not going to work or doing less, but that I'm going to work while keeping the laws, regulations, and systems. It means that the employment, survival rights, and safety of horse managers' workers should be premised, and the Pukyong Racing Authority should also come within the boundaries. Anyway, another year has begun. This year, I really hope that the monster of "horse racing innovation" will be calmed down. Innovation created unilaterally by the horse racing society should be completely nullified, and new innovation measures that presuppose concerns and empathy with the parties concerned should be created.

In response, Park Sung-ki, the secretary general, said, "If the law is abolished, there will be confusion among the public. The second sea story situation can be reproduced," and added, "In the long run, the commission needs special jurisdiction over illegal gambling." Currently, as an alternative, the commission is afraid of investigating illegal gambling online. We agree that the commission needs to ease regulations on the legal enforcement industry. "I think it is a groundbreaking idea to integrate legal and illegal scale into the total sales system, but in reality, it will be difficult because the scale of illegality varies from one investigation office to another." The horse community has made various efforts to prove the feasibility of an innovative model for over-the-counter sales that coexists with the local community and to restore the trust of residents by actively solving the deadlocked issue of over-the-counter sales.

Unfortunately, public opinion was formed and discussions were held that the employment insecurity, excessive competition systems, and poor working conditions of horse racing workers triggered by the death of two horse racing managers in Pukyong, should be improved. In the process, the managers of Seoul were driven by the dichotomy logic that because employment is stable and competitiveness is low, they work less and take more salaries. 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 the horse racing society that Seoul is high cost, low efficiency, and Pukyong is low cost and high efficiency, and thanks to this,

Efforts to revive the horse industry, which has yet to materialize the second five-year plan for industrial development, are more important than ever. In May 2015, the company held the inaugural general meeting of the Horse Industry National Forum, a private cooperation organization that encompasses all walks of life, saying that the industry should develop into the 6th industry in a balanced way along with the horse racing industry. However, as this has drifted amid the indifference of related organizations, I hope that the inauguration of the new horse society will be an opportunity to open a new horizon for the horse industry. In 2017, the Korean Society of Animal Resources
