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.

Nine trainees of the regular curriculum operated by the Korean Horse Association, such as horse trainers, horse riding instructors, and rehabilitation horse riding instructors, were trained for a month at the national stall in Ahadfang, France. It was effective in killing two birds with one stone by inspiring trainees to learn and improving the quality of education. "2013 was the first year of the 'Five-Year Comprehensive Plan for Promotion of the Horse Industry' announced by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, and it is expected that the implementation of the plan will accelerate as it marks its second year with the Year of the Horse," an official at the Korea Institute of Human Resources Development said. "We will continue to make every effort to strengthen our educational capabilities to create a foundation for the development of the horse industry by training professionals in the horse industry."

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 by 2030 to grow horse industry-related projects and set a budget of 3 billion won to create

In the fourth race of the Sunday race on January 12, the No. 4 "Dixibani" and the No. 6 "Clay Shot" ranked first and second in popularity in the race, but after a fierce preceding race from the beginning, they ranked sixth and ninth. The referee of the Horse Association judged that it was an "unnecessary preceding competition" after deliberating on the situation and imposed suspensions on Kim Hye-sun and Kim Tae-hoon on the 4th and 2nd, respectively. The judges of the Horse Association said that as a result of a comprehensive analysis of the race screen and the statements of the athletes, the results of the race were not good due to the exhaustion of the physical strength of the two horses from the start to the middle of the race while Kim Hye-sun and Kim Tae-hoon competed with each other for good deeds, and that Kim Hye-sun was disposed of on the 4th and Kim Tae-hoon was disposed of on the 2nd, considering that he was a trainee who lacked experience.

The Korea Racing Authority spent 110 billion won on the project to move to an 18-story new building at 52 Cheongpa-ro, Yongsan-gu. It was originally planned to open around September last year, but it is currently unclear whether it will open or not due to opposition from nearby school officials and residents. Nearby school officials and parents strongly insist on "violating the right to learn," saying that the video racetrack could have a bad impact on children's education. The Korean Racing Authority suggested a plan to dispel local residents' concerns by placing martial arts masters near the Shin credit mountain branch and installing surveillance posts and surveillance cameras. It started operating the cultural center at the end of January under the plan to open it as a cultural center from Monday to Thursday, when horse racing is not held, to operate singing, yoga and dance classes for residents.

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, has not yet been finalized for various reasons,

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, and that people with disabilities or difficulties in emotion and behavior will stand at the center of the horse industry to revitalize the rural economy and improve the quality of life for the people.

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

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. 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, Internet game use disorder, and intellectual disability, and publishing positive research results.

The horseracing union held a strike on the day of the horse racing, demanding a change in wages and employment forms, but there was no major confusion in the horse racing business. The Korean Horse Racing Association's horse racing ticket sales union went on strike after collective negotiations with the horse racing society broke down, and on the 22nd, about 300 ticket sales workers refused to go to work. As more than 50% of the ticket salesmen refused to go to work at some out-of-the-box stores, free admission was implemented at Seoul Horse Racing Park and each out-of-the-box stores to avoid confusion, and all horse racing staff were encouraged to wait at the ticket window and use self-selling machines on race broadcasts. Horse racing fans who visited horse racing parks and out-of-the-box branches ahead of the end of the year and the closure of Seoul Horse Racing Park were found to have performed normally without much fuss, despite a slight increase from the previous week.

There was a big event that will go down in history, and when the incident became public, I was embarrassed to think about how Korea would be seen 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 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.

Daejeon on the 8th to urge the withdrawal of the Daejeon governor's expansion plan and relocation to the outskirts. They argued in a press conference that after the Daejeon governor was established, citizens were exposed to the risk of gambling addiction, traffic difficulties caused by illegal parking on weekends, and the deterioration of education and residential environment caused by the concentration of entertainment facilities, and demanded the relocation or closure of the outskirts, but the society criticized that it was trying to expand. The Daejeon governor is contributing to 17.8 billion won in local finances per year, including leisure tax and local education tax, in the Daejeon area with sales of 254 billion won last year. As Gyeryong Construction moved to its new office building in February, Ma Society plans to improve customer service with optimized facilities through purchase and remodeling of Gyeryong Construction's office building.

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

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

While the horse industry is rapidly emerging as a new growth engine for the rural economy and national economy, which have become difficult in the year of the horse race, the horse industry is concerned as another red flag comes into the horse race industry, which will be the cornerstone of fostering the horse industry.Opposition parties are again raising their voices against the plan to expand the branch to improve customer service, while civic groups are protesting the plan. In October last year, the organization planned to expand the Yongsan branch of the organization at 40-590 Han River-ro 3-ga to 16-48 Han River-ro 3-ga. However, although the building was completed at a huge cost, the opening date has been postponed as the public opinion of some civic groups and politicians deteriorated.

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. In addition, given the lack of sufficient legal and budgetary support, 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. By doing so, we need to remove obstacles that are holding back the development of the horse industry and wisely embrace areas that are at odds with other laws. To all the family members of the horse industry who are sweating for the development of the horse industry across the country,

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. In line with the policy of expanding the horse industry special zone, which is to be additionally designated in 2018, the Horse Industry Research Association also intends to make an academic contribution to the development of the sound horse industry through mutual cooperation and convergence.

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

This was helped by the media and broadcasting reports of bad events related to the horse industry. It is time to think a lot about how to overcome this crisis in the horse industry. Horse racing is putting a lot of effort into making a way for horse racing to become an international race, but compared to that effort, the effect is not that great yet. However, I think there will be consequences if you keep trying. Racing Media is also struggling with unexpected things this year, but I'm sure it will overcome them wisely. The Korean Horse Training Association, which I am in charge of, did not have much activity in 2017. It is true that due to various conditions, there were restrictions on activities. I hope that 2018 will be a year when we can remove all of these things one by one and pursue new changes.

Representative Kim Chul-min pointed out that the general agricultural and fishing village development project, which has spent a total of 13 trillion won so far, has been reduced to a nuisance due to the standing by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the achievement-oriented operation of local governments, and urged the government to come up with measures to improve agricultural and rural development quickly. He focused on issues close to people's lives, pointing out that food safety problems that threaten the public's health, such as the pesticide egg scandal, are constantly occurring in our society and emphasizing the urgent need to improve the egg distribution structure centered on GP centers to ensure food safety for the people.

Kim Hyun-kwon, who entered the 20th National Assembly as a proportional representative of farmers and fishermen of the Democratic Party of Korea, was praised for taking the lead in cleaning up the deep-rooted evils of the agricultural industry through his activities such as digging into the tyranny of livestock-affiliated companies and unfair practices, insensitivity to malpractice and embezzlement by the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives, and raising suspicions of corruption in overseas real estate investment by the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation. He was also praised for his outstanding performance in the maritime and fisheries sectors by pointing out problems such as whale congestion on the domestic coast, microplastic pollution, illegal fishing of squid on the east coast of Chinese fishing boats,

The KRA Korea Horse Association, designated as a specialized human resources training institution for the horse industry at the end of 2012, was designated as a "human resources training institution for the horse industry" in October 2013, and is accelerating projects to train human resources specializing in the horse industry, which was already being promoted. The signing of this MOU is also the result of various overseas training programs that have been pursued so far. In particular, in 2013, it operated advanced education technology for horse training for three months at the Paul Schauquemuller Ranch in Germany, the world's top training center for the production and development of horseback riding, and training programs to learn advanced horse racing education systems at French national and private horse riding schools for three months, respectively.

Park then wrote an autograph on Cho Tae-hyun's uniform with the phrase "National team, you can do it," creating a friendly atmosphere.The interview is about Cho Tae-hyun, who is pursuing his dream every day to participate in the Olympics, and Park Sang-young, a fencing player who supports his dream. Holt School students who came to the scene to cheer for Cho Tae-hyun are creating emotional communication and stability among students through the healing horse riding program. If I saw it meaninglessly, I could have thought that it was just catching fire, but the moment I ran with the torch, I got goosebumps all over my body. I felt like I was really starting the Olympics, and I also felt the excitement I felt two years ago. I also felt the pressure of the athletes who are practicing to participate in the Olympics and I felt the complicated emotions.

Among them, Cho Tae-hyun, who dreams of becoming a national equestrian athlete on behalf of the horseback riding world, drew attention as a runner. Cho Tae-hyun, who played as a torchbearer on the day, was running with Park Sang-young, a gold medalist in fencing in the Rio Olympics, and was seen chanting "I can do it." Students and parents from the same school came out to the scene of the Seonghwa Bongsong to cheer for them. It was like enjoying a festival of people around the world, waving banners and cheering sticks. 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 feeling even after graduation.
