When asked about his acceptance speech, Professor Park Geum-ran said, "I am happy to receive a commendation from the Minister of Agriculture despite many people who have made efforts to develop the domestic horse industry," and added, "I will take it as a meaning to contribute more to the development of the horse industry in the future and work hard."Meanwhile, Seorabeol University is actively engaged in volunteer activities related to rehabilitation horseback riding to enhance and promote the image of the domestic horse industry. The Masagwa of Seorabeol University participates in nearby rehabilitation centers for the disabled and events for the disabled every year to show rehabilitation horseback riding activities for social participation.

In addition, he participated in designing and writing national certificates for rehabilitation horseback riding in Korea, making efforts to establish a foundation for rehabilitation horseback riding in Korea and expand the base. Last year, he was appointed as an executive of the Korea Rehabilitation Horse Association and was designated as a cooperative organization for rehabilitation horseback riding in Korea. In addition, as an executive of the Korean Rehabilitation Horse Association, he attended the 2015 World Rehabilitation Horse Association General Assembly to attract the "2021 World Rehabilitation Horse Association" to Korea, and has been a member of the Gyeongju Regional Development Council, contributing to policy reflection for the development of the horse industry in Gyeongju.

Thanks to your efforts, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has prepared budgeting and business guidelines to implement the student horse riding support project from January 2018, and as a result, it is very encouraging to increase the utilization rate of the horse racing course even in winter, the off-season.A new beginning is always full of hope. The newly launched Korea Racing Authority (KRA) plans to do its best to solve problems such as livestock farming in the horse industry, the application of electricity to horse racing courses and horseback riding insurance as soon as possible. I believe that our ability can be doubled when we practice with earnestness. We will work together to solve difficult problems and contribute to the development of the horse racing industry.

I hope you achieve everything you wish, and I wish everyone in the horse industry a busy and exciting year, especially as the sound of horse hooves shaking the earth and earth vibrates again. Looking back, the past year has been a very difficult and difficult year. The hard work that has been done for many years has collapsed overnight, and in particular, the image of the horse industry, including horseback riding, has been greatly undermined, the number of citizens visiting the horse racing course has decreased, and people have been criticized for not doing anything wrong. It is said that risks and opportunities coexist in crises. Taking lessons from the fact that we must join forces to show unity in times of difficulty, we gathered together to form the National Horse Racing Authority,

This is an industrial activity that helps livestock farmers generate income and a movement to promote health to the public. 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,

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, so it will take great effort and time to recover.

The message I want to convey to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs at the Korea Horse Producers Association is that if the first horse industry plan was quantitative growth, I hope the second horse industry plan will develop in the direction of qualitative growth.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,

In particular, it was a year of further damage to the operators of horse racing courses across the country due to some kind of incidents, such as Choi Soon-sil's manipulation of state affairs, which made the public aware of the bad image of the horse racing sector, and Jeong Yu-ra's special treatment for horse racing. In addition, it was a disappointing and regrettable year for professional horse manufacturers and horse breeding farmers. Historically, the year of martial arts is a year when eventful events are completed and combined. It is said that it is the year when the soil and the soil meet and blend into each other with big soil like Musan and liquor, so it is called the Year of the Golden Dog!! It is a auspicious year.

First of all, we have prepared a 'school system' that systematically conducts production from the production process. Last year, first of all, we reviewed good research data on how to produce Thoroughbred and foster it before and after. There were many data on Thoroughbred in foreign countries and Korea, but none of them were Jeju horses. Standards related to Thoroughbred could not be applied to Jeju horses. Therefore, last year, a standard manual for production, fostering, and training, and specification management suitable for Jeju horses were created. Second, a mid- to long-term roadmap was drawn so that it did not end up with making and distributing manuals. Just as the study patterns are determined according to the university entrance examination system, it is important to set conditions and directions for joining the racehorse.

Horses also run at a lower level. There is a lot of deviation from horses with good abilities. Overall, the quality of the race is deteriorating. Jeju Horse Racing is being broadcast in Seoul and Busan, and customers have complained that they can't watch it or what kind of horse racing is it? In fact, employees working at Let's Run Park Jeju have been agonizing over this issue, but there were limitations due to internal circumstances. As Hallama and Jeju Horse ran together, there were many conflicts, so they couldn't afford to systematically pour out training or energy.With the signing of an agreement on industrial development at the end of February 2016, the obstacles to going to Jeju Horse Racing were resolved. I couldn't take the Jeju Horse Racing the way it is now. I had to provide customers with products that I didn't feel ashamed of.

At a special zone meeting held in Jeju in June last year, Jeon Sung-won, head of the win-win marketing division, called for the central government's attention and set a direction with Jeju Special Self-Governing Province to foster Hallama, which will be removed from racehorses, as Korea's representative passenger horse from 2023. Support is needed to establish a system for the production and fostering, training, and distribution of horseback riding. Please pay attention." Kim Jin-gap, who has been in charge of Jeju-Gyeongju resource management at Let's Run Park Jeju since 2014, has also been working hard as a practitioner in charge of developing related policies and manuals, persuading farmers, and taking the lead in education.

The 'Mayon-a-horse' is continuing to develop, and the 'Mayon-a-horse' will play a role in creating the popularization of horseback riding in the future. I also have confidence in this. However, I don't know how long it will take. The final goal of the 'Mayon-a-horse' that Daemyung Group wants is to promote CSI5* to create an environment where foreign players can bring their horses directly to Korea and have a normal horse-riding competition with their existing horses. In addition, I pay tribute to the management of Daemyung Group, which plays this role unselfishly.Equestrianism is now politically intertwined by a series of events. The equestrian who has worked silently so far may be the victims of the Choi Soon-sil scandal in a way.

This year, they played in a dedicated stadium so that horses could play in their best condition. The grass was not pretty and stylish, but the competition was held in a dedicated stadium, so the reviews of foreign players were good as it was focused and compact. Horse Auction' is a policy project of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. In line with this, the auction part was added. It was conducted differently from the auction before. However, for the development of the horse industry, fundamental countermeasures are needed. The horse industry project has been launched with government policies for the past five years. I know that it first started between 2011 and 2012, and if 500 horse racing stadiums were built in the first five years and horse racing professionals were part of the first project, the five-year plan for horse racing development seems to be drifting away.

Mayon-a-horse" started with the hope of raising public interest in horseback riding, a healing sport. In particular, "Mayon-a-horse" learned the advanced trends of Europe, the home of horseback riding, and tried to make a competition comparable to that, and as a result, it has established itself as the current "Mayon-a-horse." A special stadium was set up on natural grass and cultural contents that the public was interested in were incorporated into it. Compared to baseball, which has risen as a representative sport in Korea, the popularization of horseback riding may sound a little distant. However, the audience's response and gaze from the scene during the last two competitions were convinced that the popularization of horseback riding was not far away, and it was the driving force behind the hosting of "Mayon-a-horse 2017."

You may question the effectiveness of the standard manual. So, we designated a demonstration farm. Four farms with facilities and motivation were designated among the producers. I selected 24 from four farms and they are actually training them according to the manual. Jeju National University, which produced the training manual, and staff of the pilot farm meet once a month to show results and refine the manual for difficulties. After some time, the horses were produced according to the manual. They track the data and compare horses that have been trained at the pilot farm with other horses according to their age. We will track and announce how early the race will be and how good their performance will be after the race. Knowing that it will be effective in other farms, we hope that it will spread to other farms soon."

The problem was that when the data was finished, they said, "I made this. Please attend," but there was something that the farmers didn't come and didn't know. However, I couldn't let it go. After creating the manual for the first time and thinking about how it could be used in the field, I decided on two policies. First, the staff visits the farm in person to show that there is such a thing, and then makes them attend the entire training. So this year, I am visiting all the farms one by one to report the news of manual production and show the video through CDs. It is not just done at the racetrack or simply to inform them, but it is also visiting and demonstrating farms that are the size of the East and West regions. It is showing the actual training. As a result, a lot of nearby farmers attended.

We also ask for a lot of support and encouragement in this regard, whether it is the government or the sports association. Daemyung Group, which does not spare investment in horseback riding, is playing a role as a driving force in the development of Korean horseback riding in name and reality. Kim Hong-chul, the general manager, said that the "Mayon A Horse," which began in 2015, is continuing to develop, and eventually, he wants to see foreign players bring in their horses and compete normally with domestic athletes by attracting CSI5*. Jeon Sung-won, the current head of the win-win marketing division, and Kim Jin-gap, the head of the Jeju Regional Headquarters, who was the head of the Jeju Regional Headquarters at the time of the agreement for win-win development of the horse industry, are still communicating with farmers in a responsible manner on this important issue, and are constantly developing related policies and applying them to the field.
