I wish everyone in the country a happy year with their horses. The year 2017 was a sad year for the horse industry, not growth. 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 preferential 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 called the Year of the Golden Dog!! It is said that it is the year when soil and soil meet and harmonize with large soil like Mt.

The growth of the horse industry was driven by the government's policy to foster the horse industry, and those related to the horse industry expected that the horse industry will continue to be implemented after 2017 under the "Second Five-Year Comprehensive Plan for the Promotion of the Horse Industry." Nevertheless, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has been delaying the establishment of the "Second Five-Year Comprehensive Plan for the Promotion of the Horse Industry," which is stipulated by law, without providing clear reasons for policy changes, is a loss of trust in the government and disappointing farmers and horse industry workers. Moreover, in September 2017, the Korean Horse Industry Promotion Headquarters announced that it had set a budget of 3 billion won for the growth of horse industry-related projects with the goal

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 missile launches, not only domestic but also international security crises including the U.S. and Japan, and economic crises caused by China's retaliation against THAAD, were a series of national challenges that could not be relieved internally and externally. Perhaps because of such domestic and international circumstances, the comprehensive plan for fostering the horse industry, which is the central plan of the Korean horse industry, has not yet been finalized for various reasons and has passed the first year of 2017, even though it is to be established every five years under the Horse Industry Promotion Act.

The Industrial Promotion Act was implemented at the end of 2011, and the second five-year plan will be announced soon. It is thought that it will be a timely prescription for horse industry sites in difficult situations. Horses start walking and running as soon as they are born, but humans do not exercise their exact motor functions until well over 10 years later. If you compare the horse industry promotion method to people, 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 people who wisely overcome the crisis will show interest and affection for the horse industry, the horse industry will take a powerful leap like horses in the new year,

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 unite 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 the rehabilitation horse riding in Korea. In 2021, experts from various fields related to the horse industry are working together to attract the World Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Conference to Korea.

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 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.

There was a big event that will go down in history, and when the incident became public, I was embarrassed to think about how our Republic would be viewed on the world stage, but I am proud to think about all of our people who have overcome it wisely. What is unfortunate, however, is that even though it has been a year of 破邪顯, which is newly written 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 horse was at the center of last year's historical event, is thought to have continued this year. It is very sad to think about disabled children who sit on horses and smile happily at the scene of rehabilitation riding.

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. It is hoped that communication between horse racing and horse racing-related organizations will be facilitated and voices of the field can be properly reflected in the system.

Unfortunately, the death of two horse racing managers in Pukyong led to public opinion that the job insecurity, excessive competition systems, and poor working conditions of horse racing workers should be improved. In the process, the managers of Seoul drove them to the dichotomy logic that they worked less and took more salaries because employment was stable and competitiveness was low. The history of Seoul and Pukyong (except Jeju) 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 horse racing that Seoul is high cost, low efficiency, and Pukyong is low cost and high efficiency, and as a result, even some horse racing officials and even some horse racing fans are driving public opinion as pigs who distributed Seoul with the same logic.

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, and a new innovation plan that presupposes agony

As 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 racing horse 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.

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 and Science changed its name to the Korean Society of Animal Science and is becoming an active participant in the development of livestock in Korea.

I hope that the 2018 martial arts year will be a year where we can remove all of these things one by one and pursue new changes. I will increase the number of members of the Korean Horse Trainer 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.

Among them, Cho Tae-hyun, who dreams of becoming a member of the national equestrian team on behalf of the horseback riding world, drew attention as a runner. Cho Tae-hyun, who ran as a torchbearer on the day, was running with Park Sang-young, a gold medalist in fencing in the Rio Olympics, and chanting, "I can do it." At the scene of the torchbearer, students and parents from the same school came out to cheer. Waving banners and cheering sticks, it was like enjoying a festival of people all over the world. Choi Myung-an, a teacher at Holt School who teaches Cho Tae-hyun, said, "It is an honor for my teaching student to participate in an international event, and I hope he will be a great friend based on today's feelings even after graduation.

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, and there were applause during the inauguration speech or loud answers to Chairman Kim Nak-soon's questions. Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who seemed to have recognized 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. "It is true that there were concerns that he was a parachute and a non-professional at the time of the inauguration, but listening to his inauguration speech today, he seems to be gaining strength to overcome our internal distrust and exert positive influence on the outside,

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."

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 of the National Assembly when the Standing Committee of the Labor Relations Commission was first established at the 13th National Assembly on June 15, 1988, he said,

He also said that as soon as he took office, he would quickly start to grasp the work of each department. In fact, he reportedly received reports on his work by department on the day of his inauguration, last weekend, and the 24th. Most welcome of all, he emphasized that "we will ensure that all possible tasks can be carried out in a transparent manner" with the recognition that "the Korean Racing Authority is neither an intelligence agency nor an institution that requires special security." He also said that it is the "shortcut to restoring trust to the public." Analysts say that the remarks were made with the deterioration of the image of the Korean horse racing society and the horse industry, which was triggered by former chairmen cutting off or avoiding some media following the advice (?) of some followers.

test008

Before restoring trust to the public, he said that the first priority was to create an organizational culture that trusted each other, and that he promised to do so because the most important value in practicing this is fairness in personnel management as the head of the Korean Racing Authority. Chairman Kim Nak-soon said, "We will protect the trust of the organization through fair personnel management and deploy personnel in the right place according to their capabilities," and stressed, "Fair personnel management will be the trademark of Kim Nak-soon. Please keep an eye on him." Chairman Kim Nak-soon's inaugural address shows that he had studied enough about pending issues such as the horse racing industry and the organization of the Korean Racing Authority before he took office as the head of the Korean Racing Authority.

test008

He emphasized that the best path and the focus of the Korean Horse Association is to return to an institution that is faithful to the purpose of its establishment, he said, "That path is the responsibility that the state has given us and the true form of the Korean Horse Association that the people expect." He also said that generating profits through horse racing 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 horse racing is also an important value, he said, "We believe that not only horse racing but also the horse racing industry needs to grow together to complete the development of the horse industry in a true sense.

test008

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. However, not everyone should be proud." He also said, "We should be ashamed of ourselves for not being brave enough to tell the wrong part, and we should bow down to the public to apologize and ask for forgiveness.

Members of the Seoul Horse Racing Association, who have led such changes and innovations in Korean horse racing, have devoted themselves to discovering better racehorses and maintaining their responsibilities, roles, and core values despite stagnant horse sales and prize money. In addition, in September, they took the lead in practicing the Nobleys Oblige as an opponent by opening the Seoul Hyojeong School, the country's first visually impaired children's school, which is operated under the names of current and strongest horse, Choi Kang-siler, Clean Up Joy, and Mighty Gem. In particular, the tradition of donating in the name of Ama has established itself as a more beautiful and valuable donation culture because it is a history that has been made with horse racing fans over the past decade.

Despite the unpredictable darkness and chaos, all of our racers have not stopped their great journey to challenge and challenge without giving in to despair and crisis over the past year.Entering Part II, the Korean Horse Racing Association, which started anew as a member of the global horse racing industry, began small changes in the field to strengthen its competitiveness, including the away challenge at the Dubai World Cup last year, the introduction of advanced overseas personnel, changes in race horse training patterns and the implementation of the break time system, and the improvement of horse racing infrastructure such as racers' long-cherished dream, such as racetracks and horse racing, also had a time of growth that began in earnest.

In the past year, when we have struggled for the development of horse racing in the midst of a desperate crisis, our horse racing had to suffer great hurt and suffering from social criticism for its distorted perception and prejudice against horse racing amid the national confusion of state manipulation. It was a year marred by a series of suicides by horse racing officials and the decision to close over-the-counter sales centers in Daejeon and Yongsan. Despite the enormous social contribution of the horse racing industry, the negative public view of horse racing and the reality of Korean horse racing, which is gradually losing its place amid excessive government regulations, weigh heavily on our hearts even at this moment.

Like the sun rising vigorously through the pitch-black darkness, I hope that the new year will be a year full of luck where dreams and hopes come true for all horse racing officials. It's a new year every year with a new heart, but this year will give more special meaning than ever. I would like to express my warm consolation and gratitude to everyone who has worked hard to develop the horse industry and the horse racing industry despite difficult conditions for the past year. I would also like to thank Kim Moon-young, CEO of the Horse Industry Journal, and officials for their hard work over the past year to deliver various news in various fields of the horse industry. We, the Busan Gyeongnam Horse Racing Association, will faithfully carry out its original task of continuously developing the level of horse racing in Korea,
