Horses have existed with humans. They became means of transportation, carrying human cargo, and were also used for combat purposes. In the late Joseon Dynasty, they also served as information and communication services for Pavalma, who delivered urgent official documents or news to remote regions from his official residence. This is also in line with the efforts of our Internet newspapers to deliver the world's news quickly. With the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution, various keywords such as artificial intelligence and big data are emerging, and new values are expected to be created and developed. The horse industry has been a field where data has been very important since the past.

Just as there is light and darkness in all societies, there are many farmers who have gone bankrupt or closed their businesses after jumping enthusiastically in the 30-year history of domestic racehorse production. There is an urgent need to introduce a subsidy system for the closure of racehorses (horse) production farms, which is equivalent to the FTA's closure subsidy, so that racehorses production farms facing limitations can seek new avenues to sustain their livelihoods, which is considered necessary not only for racehorses production farms but also for passenger horse production farms suffering from severe management crises. The government and the Korean Horse Association are urged to take extraordinary interest and formulate policies to ensure the sustainable growth of horse production farms.

With the Let's Run Farm long-term hillside and indoor liquor built by the Korean Horse Association with a large budget, we intend to produce excellent racehorses for the price by overcoming the poor nurturing environment of individual inland farmers by making the most of the excellent grassland and facilities. Despite the sluggish sales and internal problems in Let's Run Park Busan and Gyeongnam, the inland domestic horse auction, which was held on May 29, is deeply appreciated by the generous attention of all of you and the staff members, as well as all those who participated in the worst situation as if they were bleeding. Producers are very encouraged and have high expectations for the new head of the Korean Horse Association.

To this end, we must strive to develop a system and build a control tower that can foster experts and streamline management, and make the activation of horse riding as a future consumer the most important goal. In addition, investment and efforts should be made to cultivate and support horse producers in preparation for the future. Looking at the success stories of France, which we benchmark, it can be seen that the government has controlled the industry and quickly established the foundation of the industry through various supports and public relations. In the process, we systematized children's education that could expand future consumption demand, resulting in satisfactory results.

Lee Gae-ho, a former Damyang, Jeollanam-do, graduated from Kumho High School in Gwangju and Chonnam National University, served as the governor of administrative affairs of Jeollanam-do, the 19th National Assembly member, and the top member of the Democratic Party of Korea, and was re-elected in the 20th general election and served as the secretary of the 20th National Assembly's Agriculture, Food, Maritime Affairs, and Fisheries Committee.Until now, the agricultural and rural communities, including the Korea Federation of Agricultural Management, had expressed concerns about the absence of agricultural government over urgent issues such as full implementation of PLS, expansion of agricultural budgets,

President Moon Jae In nominated Lee Gae-ho of the Democratic Party of Korea, who will be re-elected on July 26. It is the first appointment of the second cabinet of the Moon Jae In government, and is expected to fill the gap since the current Governor of Jeollanam-do Kim Young-rok resigned in March to run for the June 13 local elections. "President Moon today nominated Lee Gae-ho of the Democratic Party of Korea as a candidate for the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs," Cheong Wa Dae spokesman Kim Eui-gyeom said at a briefing at Chunchugwan later in the day. Minister-designate Lee Gae-ho is a public official-turned-politician who has various administrative experiences in central and local governments, has excellent political sense,

Until now, many of the foundation's social contribution activities have been far from the horse industry and horses, but in the future, it plans to reorganize them into social contribution activities that take advantage of the characteristics of the horse industry. Since it is a foundation related to horses, the activities will be organized around the horse industry so that people can immediately think of horses when they think of the Let's Run Foundation. In addition, the project that the foundation is currently trying to put the most weight on is the scholarship hall project using the closed Yongsan branch. Although it is currently in progress, we plan to focus all our capabilities so that it can be opened normally early next year. Choi In-yong, the newly inaugurated general secretary of the Let's Run Foundation,

It is a project for horseback riding coaches to visit and coach them in person and enhance their skills. Youth equestrian teams in Jindo, South Jeolla Province, which are close to each other, were also invited to hold mutual exchange matches, and this year is the second competition since last year. It is true that students from this region, where the Lettsrun Foundation has donated educational talent, are performing well by participating in the National Youth Sports Festival and various horseback riding competitions. These are their own achievements. Thanks to the favorable response from the field, it plans to designate one more place to spread horse riding skills this year. Currently, only two island areas are supported, but they are considering spreading youth horse riding skills by designating one mountainous area in Gangwon Province.

As a representative social contribution foundation in Korea, the Let's Run Foundation is carrying out public interest functions in various fields and areas, including rehabilitation horseback riding, a social contribution activity using direct words, scholarship projects for college students, youth support projects for job creation, and other projects that revitalize agriculture and rural areas. Among them, talent donation activities for youth horseback riding, the future and asset of Korean horseback riding, are an area of particular attention. Employees of the Let's Run Foundation also joined Lim Ja-do in Sinan, Jeollanam-do, where the "Island Boys Youth Equestrian Exchange Exhibition" will be held on the 3rd and 4th.

Candidate Lee Gae-ho said at the confirmation hearing that his past remarks, which he said were "more focused on eating than on companion," were "concerned because his light remarks were not refined during the subcommittee on the review of the Agricultural and Marine Fisheries Commission's bill." He said he does not personally eat dogs, adding, "I am very interested in animal welfare, and my belief is that livestock culture should change like that in the future." In particular, he added, "We should strengthen the functions of the Animal Welfare Committee in the future to deliberate on major policies in addition to general advice." "Our agriculture and rural areas are in a difficult situation at home and abroad, such as aging and expanding market opening,

Nature Farm, an agricultural company, purchases 1,250 tons of agricultural products annually through contract cultivation with local farmers. It is revitalizing the local economy by producing high-quality persimmon processing products such as dried persimmon, half-dried persimmon, and ice saury by receiving excellent raw materials that have received low-carbon agricultural product certification and excellent management certification. During the harvest period, the plant's operating period was divided to prevent price declines due to mass shipment of persimmon and to produce and sell processed persimmon products throughout the year. By establishing an annual operating system that makes dry products in autumn and winter and frozen products in spring and summer, it achieves stable sales and contributes to the creation of local employment.

Jeong Sang-soo, CEO of Nature Farm, an agricultural company, has developed innovative processing technologies and produced products using seedless persimmon by-products representing Cheongdo-gun, creating income for farmers in all four seasons and increasing the added value of our agricultural products. In particular, half-dry and iced ripe persimmons made of seedless Cheongdo persimmons are receiving good responses from consumers because they are easy to eat as well as sweet taste. Unlike ordinary dried fruits, Gammalang, which has a moist jelly tissue, is attracting attention as a "well-being snack" because it retains the nutrients of persimmon, such as vitamins and flavonoids. CEO Jeong Sang-soo also obtained patents for "how to make natural sugars extracted from persimmon fatigue.

Usually, there are many opinions that verification is needed at 1400M or higher when it comes to "Forest Camp", but I feel that "Changse" will be okay even in mid- to long-distance areas. Ahead of this competition, the number of days is not long, but the endurance has been strengthened by taking a long distance, and the potential is also considered sufficient. We will do our best to manage it with the aim of bigger races in the future so that there will be good results. Our Mabang managers are proud to be the most diligent and sincere in Seoul. All the managers have come out early in the morning to manage their horses as best as they can, and I am also going to many places to find good horses to meet them. In addition to the rise of Lee Hyun-jong, the flag bearer of the team, I think the Trinity is working well.

At this time, the 'horse' emerged as an economic breed, and I thought that the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation should get off to a good start because it 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 the facilities and make horseback riding facilities. When I introduced the horse to Anseong Farmland, I was quite embarrassed because there was no proper place to purchase it. After searching for a place to purchase it, the horse distributor recruited at the announcement was introduced at Anseong Farmland and then decided to purchase it. However, the day before the announcement, an instructor I knew called to think twice. It was about what to do if the condition was good only on the announcement day. Oh, I was wondering. So, I made a clause that says if there is an abnormality after I fill out the documents and watch them for a week, I will send them back. It was a dangerous moment.

We have prepared really hard for the four years. I am most happy that the Equestrian Association was able to participate in the Asian Games even during difficult times. I believe that I will show my skills so that my four years of hard work will not be in vain, and that I will have good results because I exercised hard. Of course, I think Korea will secure and should secure the gold medal in the dressage team event. Individual competitions are a little uncertain because many good players compete, but we must win the gold medal in team competitions. I will not waste the sweat I have shed for four years. Participating in the Asian Games will be the dream of everyone riding. I am happy to achieve my dream of participating in the Asian Games at a young age, but I am also a little burdened.

At the same time, when existing livestock farmers are unable to sell their ranch land as they get older, they are included in the law as a "business site" and can be cut off by up to half in taxes. Currently, other livestock needs a lot of heads to join the cooperative, but only two horses need to be raised. For these livestock farms, the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation started a project called Anseong Farmland, considering the horse industry as an alternative. Anseong Farmland, located in Anseong, Gyeonggi-do, began its business with German engineers in 1964 under the title of "Handok Ranch" as a pilot industry for the settlement of cows in Korea, laying the foundation for dairy farming in Korea, and establishing specification management for other livestock species and spreading them to farmers.

This is my fourth Asian Games participation, and unfortunately, I don't have a gold medal. In this Asian Games, I want to focus on the gold medal by reducing mistakes and focusing on it. First of all, I think teamwork is the most important thing. There are players who are new to the international competition as a national team, and I will encourage all the players to concentrate on the match as much as possible and help them as seniors. Realistically, Korean horseback riding has not improved compared to the last Asian Games. In terms of power and the domestic situation, too. On the other hand, the opponent team has improved its power. However, in times of crisis, Korea has a strong sense of grit. Just as the Korean national soccer team miraculously beat Germany in the last World Cup in Russia,

However, on the one hand, it also comes as a burden to the athletes. The obstacle team is looking forward to winning a team medal, and I want to make up for what I felt sorry for four years ago in the individual competition. I will reduce one more mistake and work hard to achieve the best result. Since Korea has such a strong mentality in the field of sports, each player will concentrate on the competition as much as possible on the international stage. Although horses account for a lot of weight in horseback riding, the only way is to reduce mistakes and ride better than other players as much as possible. I think my role is to create an atmosphere where players can ride horses comfortably based on experience. Some players may be nervous because it is their first time playing in the Asian Games,

From the standpoint of running a horse race, it is compelling to consider the cost at all. In fact, I am studying because of such merit. A horse lives for 30 years, and racehorses usually retire at the age of 2 to 3. It is unfortunate in every aspect that it cannot be used for the rest of its life. If the education for converting horses for racehorses is well established, it will have a positive effect on the horse industry as a whole. If the management cost is low, the cost of riding horses can be lowered a lot, which means that people can enjoy good sports at a low cost. Safety is the most important thing, and the key is to make a safe horse. It must be without the spirit of concession and sacrifice of everyone involved in the horse industry. For the development of horseback riding, it is necessary to let go of the past's obsession.

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 non-yuk horses to introduce proven horse meat to consumers. Nonghyup's horse meat brand Well Meat, launched in 2013, is reaching consumers not only by part of horse meat but also by retort food, and recently it has also been sold by E-Mart, a large retailer, to introduce horse meat to the national distribution network. When asked why Nonghyup entered the horse industry, Nam In-sik, managing director, replied immediately, "It is to ease the difficulties of livestock farmers." "Recently, as Korea participated in the ranks of advanced countries, its per capita meat consumption has risen to 45 kilograms per year, but the image of livestock farmers itself is recognized by young people as a '3D industry' and there is little inflow of young people.

Currently, he runs a horse farm and a horse-riding course. I taught beginners with the race-riding horse Thoroughbred and went to the competition, and I thought it was dangerous. However, as I received the training last year, I participated in the training because I was confident that I could use it as a safe ride if the horse-riding is successful. That is not true. A horse-riding horse can be used as a horseback-riding horse. People who do not know much about horses may wonder what kind of horse-riding horse is used as a horseback-riding horse, but it is not true. I had similar thoughts in the past, but seeing the changes I have made 180 degrees of change. I think this is the only thing for a stable horse industry. If this business goes well, many people can ride horses at an affordable price.

Nam In-sik, the managing director, learned the light and shade of the horse industry from his two-and-a-half-year experience by purchasing and establishing horses that have emerged as alternative livestock for livestock farms in Anseong Farmland. When he first purchased horses, he experienced a dangerous moment when he almost bought a bad horse, and there was also friction with his unruly instructor. However, these experiences of Nam In-sik served as an opportunity to understand and love the horse industry a little more deeply. Nam said in an interview that he felt deeply that "Korean-style horseback riding" should take place in order to not only standardize horse trading but also expand the base of horseback riding, and that each livestock farm should try to find suitable varieties through guidelines.

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.

When I started teaching, I thought, 'The true owner of horse racing is for horse racing fans and racers,' and it is still the same today. I have worked with the mindset that I have to take good care of the owners." At the award ceremony, Ha Jae-heung, an assistant teacher, said, "It was not easy until I was selected because of the strict conditions of the honorary assistant teacher. I am honored. I expect more honorable assistants as I have many great juniors. I am already retired, but I will do my best to help the development of Korean horse racing." Meanwhile, Ha Jae-heung, an assistant teacher at Jeju International University, published "A Study on the Development Direction of the Horse Racing Industry" in August last year as a thesis for a master's degree in the Department of Ma Industry at the Graduate School of Global Jeju Studies

Ha Jae-heung is a living witness of Korean horse racing. Ha, who entered the horse racing world as a jockey in 1972, debuted as an assistant teacher in 1983 by opening a 35-trillion horse racing club. At the retirement ceremony held in front of the Let's Run Park in Seoul on June 30, this year, he finished his 35-year career as an assistant teacher. Over the course of 35 years, he has participated in 10,535 events and won 937 championships. As a result, he became the first assistant teacher to pass the criteria for selecting an honorary assistant teacher, which includes more than 15 years of experience, more than 5,000 participation, more than 800 wins, and sanctions. Ha Jae-heung, an assistant teacher who is famous for his love for horses and studies, expressed regret over his decision to leave the horse he loves
