Despite these various efforts, the negative public perception of horse racing, falling sales due to the long-term economic downturn, the market erosion of the illegal gambling industry, and government-led regulations are getting stronger. In particular, various unfavorable factors such as the implementation of the 52-hour workweek and the still unstable employment system for managers have frozen the market, and the horse racing environment is deteriorating day by day due to weak investor sentiment in the face of each other. However, we can never stop the challenge. Although national policies and practical problems are hampering the development of horse racing, we should make all-out efforts to overcome the internal and external crises of Korean horse racing in the new year.

Over the past year, Korean horse racing has had an eventful year amid various efforts to overcome the crisis despite many difficulties. In recent years, Korean horse racing has had to go through a lot of painstaking efforts amid a storm of change and innovation, but it has gradually healed the wounds and walked on the path of new challenges and growth amid the efforts of horse racing families to find a new breakthrough. Although there have been many difficult and difficulties compared to previous years, there have been many meaningful events for the internationalization and advancement of Korean horse racing. With the hosting of the 3rd Korea Cup and the successful hosting of the Asia Horse Racing Conference, Korean horse racing has been gradually developing as a member of the global horse racing world.

Safety and environmental management in the production stage are the basic requirements for providing food that the public can feel safe about. In preparation for the introduction of a system to strengthen the allowable standards of pesticides, we have thoroughly prepared to implement the system by conducting circuit training for elderly farmers. In this year, the first year of implementation, we will operate around the system so that the system can be settled, and we will support visiting consulting and preliminary safety surveys to farmers. We will give the pesticide dealers an obligation to maintain records of pesticide sales and expand the target of record management to all pesticides. We will strengthen the standards and management of liquid rain spraying to prevent diseases and livestock odors by establishing facility standards for duck farmers.

This year, we will continue to adjust production including fallow season, and support other crop cultivation projects by linking maintenance and mechanization of drainage channels. Local food is attracting attention as an alternative distribution system that supplements the limitations of the current agricultural product distribution system and creates stable sales channels for small and medium-sized farmers and local jobs. Since 2018, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has been creating a pilot model to expand the supply of local agricultural products to 14 public institution cafeterias and military units in the border region in Naju Innovation City. This year, we will increase the proportion of local food in Naju public institutions and Hwacheon-Pocheon military meals to 40%,

Through the Innovation Valley Advisory Committee, we will discover promising export items and focus on overseas marketing as well as quality control. We will expand R&D support for the development of future food products and establish the national food cluster as a mecca for the high-tech food industry. The direct payment system for rice has contributed to the stabilization of farm management, but it has been pointed out that it has deepened the production overgrowth and lacks the function of stabilizing income for crop farms and small and medium-sized farmers other than rice. We will reorganize the direct payment system in the direction of embracing small and medium-sized farms and strengthening the public interest function of agriculture. Rice, fields, and unfavorable direct payments with different payment requirements

Combining information and communication technology and cultivation technology, which are Korea's strengths, Korea's agriculture can also leap forward into a promising industry that competes with the world. Based on the Innovation Valley, which is scheduled to begin construction this year, we will create an innovative ecosystem in which manpower-technology-production is linked. We will provide young people with in-depth education on greenhouse environmental control and cultivation technology, and provide rental support for smart farms after graduation. By creating a demonstration complex, we will jointly develop new products and technologies with companies in the front and rear such as equipment and food, and establish an open platform for farmers and research institutes to share and trade big data

We will expand social agricultural practice organizations that provide healing and care services, and provide accounting services to various social economy organizations. We will remodel rural restoration facilities such as grain warehouses and provide them as start-up spaces, while fostering rural convergence management organizations that are linked to production, processing, and tourism. We will support young people to take root in agricultural rural areas. After graduation, we will pay a scholarship to foster young entrepreneurship on the condition that they work for farming, and create a 'youth rural home' with a living infrastructure that combines culture, leisure, and childcare. We will encourage local governments and local communities to take more interest in fostering young farmers by evaluating

Focusing on the public value of agriculture, we will consider farmers to be the confident actors who make good food and protect the environment, and we will boldly change our policy toward investing in people, including young innovative farmers. Accordingly, we will make creating jobs in agriculture and rural areas a top priority, maintain the vitality of the rural community, and actively pursue six key tasks to establish a production system that the people can feel safe about. Agricultural and rural areas have recently attracted attention as a 庫 for creating new jobs, with the number of employed in the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors increasing by 59,000 year-on-year. We will make all-out efforts to continue this trend.

Just as Dr. Hwang Woo-seok's plagiarism in his thesis produced negative images of stem cells, which dampened the stem cell-related industry itself, the horse industry should not step on such an ex-wife. At this point, the role of the media is important. It is necessary to emphasize the industrial aspect so that the media can grow further without shrinking the horse industry by being tied to the past. The Horse Industry Journal is Korea's first horse-specialized newspaper and is an important media 幹 dealing with the horse industry. We look forward to delivering reports with various perspectives and information so that the domestic horse industry can be more trusted by the people and establish itself as a healthy leisure culture and a familiar life sport in 2019.

Therefore, the government should boldly break away from the policy of fostering the horse industry, which is weak in sustainability, and present a vision to promote the integrated development of the horse industry through selection and concentration centered on the horse industry special zones from now on. The recent enactment of the Gyeonggi-do Provincial Government Ordinance on the Establishment of the Gyeonggi-do Horse Industry Promotion Fund, which allows 5 percent of the annual leisure tax of 370 billion won, to be used for the horse industry, should be applauded as a groundbreaking measure that gives new hope to the Korean horse industry. Other horse industry special zones should also actively follow good policies and systems. In addition, new development plans should be sought by reorganizing the form,

It seems that it was only a few days ago that I had a new wish after spending a frustrating and turbulent time in 2017 and welcoming the new year of the martial arts in 2018, but I am ashamed, sad, and sad that I have not achieved anything and welcomed the new year. I have also seen a tearful situation in which I have worked full-time despite such difficulties and difficulties, and I have once again joined forces to find a new way for the horse industry. The horse racing industry, which is the eldest in the horse industry, is also growing negative, adding to the sense of crisis. Race horses, professional horse racing farms, horse racing course operators, and horse racing companies are all sighing as they see the black shadow of the horse industry.

Our industry is currently very poor and small in terms of industry. However, it has a very high growth potential in the future and has the potential to be spotlighted as a high-quality public sports leisure by the people. In particular, the horse industry has already proven in advanced countries that livestock farming is a new alternative livestock industry that has high growth potential and a high vision for added value. Now is the time to catch your breath for two steps forward, and the government needs to think about ways to take the second step forward rather than quantitative growth. It is a very important time to shake off the image damaged by the horse racing corruption and join forces to become a true sports sport. In the long run,

Horseback riding facilities are for everyone, and most horse-riding facilities are not just for horse-riding businesses for consumers, but for producing, nurturing, and training horses. The main purpose and activities are the same wherever the approval authority is. It is necessary for the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to embrace and not separate the horse-riding facilities. These are very short periods of professional manpower and are important for the horse industry. Since horse-riding techniques are not simple techniques, farmers who simply produce horses cannot solve this problem alone. Since we do not have many such manpower yet, harmony is needed rather than division.

In order for the agendas presented through the forum to be applied to actual industries, it is necessary to analyze successful advanced overseas cases together and ask for help from overseas experts if necessary. Looking at the successful case of France that we will benchmark, the central government led the way to collectively control the industry during the transitional period, separate and operate specialized institutions under the central government, and rebuild the entire industry by establishing various policies for each sector. In particular, we systematized children's education to increase future consumption demand, and as a result, we succeeded in establishing a very satisfactory horse riding industry. As the growth of the invested industry has been effective to some extent,

Since the enactment of the Industrial Promotion Act at the end of 2011, the horse industry has grown rapidly due to the efforts of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, but has gone through a transitional period in recent years. I believe that this time is not a recession but a period of leap forward. We believe that the period of leap forward will soon enter the maturity period, and what we need the most before going into the stage of stabilization is the training of professional manpower. Industrial training through specialized organizations is essential so that professional manpower with basic education can be directly put into the actual industry. The training manpower produced through this process will be of great help to the horse industry, which is struggling.

There are still bad news, such as a decrease in the sales of racetracks, which are the pillars of the domestic horse industry, a horse racing course that is closing down, a manpower in the horse industry who has nowhere to go, a negative perception of the horse industry, a rising number of workers in low-payments and difficult environments, a company that avoids the horse industry, a company that avoids support, a avoidance of horse production, and a professional technical job that reduces jobs. If crisis and pain give us another opportunity, it would be right to boldly put it on the operating table and cut out the rotting part to improve our constitution. However, it would be dangerous to improve too much of it at once. Horse industry officials have played an important role in the development of the domestic livestock industry.

There has already been discord among government ministries and agencies. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, which is in charge of approval rights, clarified that it has never considered allowing Koreans to use casinos on board. This is because the current law prohibits allowing casinos on board by Koreans. The ministry's push to allow casinos on cruise ships to be used by Koreans is expected to have a significant impact on the legal gambling industry in Korea. In particular, the horse racing industry, which has seen its sales decline due to the growth of competitive gambling businesses such as Sports Toto, lottery tickets and casinos, while exhausting growth engines due to negative images and strong government regulations, is highly likely to be directly hit. As cruise ship casinos allow passengers to stay in for at least three days, leakage of horse racing passengers is expected to be inevitable.

Whether it was difficult or difficult, the year ends like this. Looking back on the year, as always, would it have been better if I had made a little concession? I think it comes from the greed and obsession that I am right and that I have to change it in the new year, but it is not fixed again. The Jangje Association, a small group of about 90 people in Korea in 2018, is working together to find a new way by integrating what was divided into two groups into one group and to fulfill the developmental role of the domestic horse industry. I will do my best to manage the horses' hooves, which is the second life for horses, and to play my role as a Jangje priest with the goal of improving qualitative technology to provide the best service.

The results of the study have provided the basis for applying EAL to firefighters as well as police officers and soldiers belonging to risk occupations for post-traumatic stress syndrome. In the field of rehabilitation riding, the introduction of a new program called EAL is meaningful in that it can extend the number of people who ride rehabilitation from children with physical disabilities, developmental disabilities, and emotional behavioral problems to adults with advanced psychological problems. In addition, through ground activity, which does not control the value of words, which were mainly used as tools of riding, we created an opportunity to increase the value of words by utilizing the overall value of words as objects that interact and influence them in equal relationships with people.

Firefighters experience severe stress due to primary trauma of experiencing direct injuries or life threats at disaster sites, secondary trauma experiences of witnessing the suffering of disaster victims, harrowing sights, damaged bodies, etc., and the psychological and physical stress levels of police and firefighters, both at home and abroad, are high. Overseas, we are running rehabilitation horse riding programs for firefighters, soldiers, and police, and there has been no research on the effectiveness of firefighters. Our association was the first to successfully verify the field applicability, safety, and psychological effects of EAL research, which was first attempted in Korea, under the commission of the Ratsrun Foundation, to demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of EAL in Korea universally.

HETI provides up-to-date educational information on rehabilitation horseback riding, provides educational and training opportunities such as seminars and workshops, and holds the World Congress every three years to support a wide range of horse-mediated activities such as exchanges, cooperation, academic development, and network formation among members. Hosting such a world competition in Korea is a breakthrough for the development of rehabilitation horseback riding. The first effect you can expect from holding the world competition for rehabilitation horseback riding is 'raising the national status'. Horse-riding and horse-racing are the 'King of Sports', and many people consider the service or donation of rehabilitation horseback riding to be the highest level, and the HETI General Assembly

Professors across the country chose Limjungdowon as the idiom of 2018. It is an idiom in Taebaek's episode, which means, "Jimjungdowon is heavy and has a long way to go." Although there is a warm breeze coming from South and North Korea, it seems to be a relatable choice given the many domestic and foreign challenges that our people will have to solve in the future. Also, considering the way forward for the domestic horse industry and rehabilitation horse riding, this four-character idiom is also very relatable. From the production farms that raise horses to the general public who enjoy horse riding and horse racing, the disabled and their families who crave "rehabilitation horse" because their lives change through horseback riding, all seem to want to find hope through love and words.

There are also strong criticisms against the ministry's push to use casinos on board by Koreans. The ministry has selected the development of cruise and marina industries as a core task of the ministry since 2013, and has been particularly obsessed with open casinos on board. However, the ministry buried it under the surface due to the Ferry Sewol disaster last year, but quickly brought it back when it passed a Cabinet meeting, including a decision to salvage the ship and an enforcement ordinance of the Special Sewol Act. In addition, critics say that when the "Act on the Promotion and Support of the Cruise Industry," which allowed on-board cruises, was reviewed by the National Assembly, he promised to "strictly restrict domestic access" but reversed his position just three months later when the law passed the National Assembly in February this year.

I am deeply grateful to my colleagues and seniors and juniors who shared their difficulties with me, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the officials of the Korean Horse Association and to the horse management and the union who have provided me with great help in every important crisis. Throughout the difficult times, it was an opportunity to rethink the precious values that I have forgotten for a while. It is the importance of living together. As you know, the Pukyong Horse Management Association recognizes that the stability of employment is the biggest task facing the association, and at the same time, competitiveness, the essence of horse racing, is also an important foundation that should not be overlooked. Therefore, it is a heavy task ahead of us to harmonize and complete these two values into a single system.
