They have made great efforts to overcome the existing misconception that only a few people can enjoy horse-riding. In order to popularize horse-riding sports and expand the base, events large and small were planned and held every year, and they approached citizens with various cultural festivals to enjoy themselves and share themselves. The Korea Federation of Horse Industry, in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Korean Horse Association, which are the central pillars of horse-riding policies, always strives to ensure that the government's horse-riding policies can become hope for the people. Korea is the first nation in the world to achieve economic and political miracles in 70 years.

As the age limit for taking the horse industry-related qualification test is 18, students cannot even take the test even though they are capable of it. I heard that parents filed a complaint with the National Newspaper, asking students to lower the qualification limit to 18 from the time they first entered the school. As for technical high schools, there is a special need to transport machines, so some say that they lower the age because a driver's license is mandatory for enrolled students. In order to cultivate future talent, it is necessary to lower the age for taking the horse industry qualification test. As soon as students graduate from the school after obtaining the qualification, they have to jump into the job front, but since they cannot even take the qualification test, it will have a negative impact on the employment rate and students' future.

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, a corporation, and made a strong start.

As for the successful French case to be benchmarked, the government led the way in controlling the industry to provide various support and public relations, and quickly established an industrial foundation. In the process, we systematized children's education to increase future consumption demand, and resulted in very satisfactory results. As the growth of such invested industries has been effective to some extent, France has gradually shifted to policy management that induces self-development by the industry itself, and the activities of organizations within each industry are playing a role in stabilizing and leading. I think this is an important time for the government to actively step up and lay the foundation for the industry.

Of course, it is judged that the time to recover from the building of an image that is too bad to have success with noise marketing will require great effort and time in the future.The horse industry is growing steadily in developed countries. It is changing from the industrial structure that was concentrated in the horse racing industry in the past to a leisure sport centered on youth and family through horseback riding. This is an industrial activity that helps livestock farmers generate income and a movement to convey health to the public. Therefore, I am confident that ultimately, it will establish an important position in the Korean livestock industry in the future.

Nevertheless, the teachers are not neglecting their own development, so they are trying to teach the students, such as obtaining a leadership in the horse industry. Even if I leave, I plan to advise the education office so that the teachers can remain and continue to teach the students. Our students are amazing, too. I start my daily routine from 5 a.m. until 9 p.m. and take care of and educate my horses myself. I don't go home voluntarily on weekends as well as after-school activities and stay at school. The school is also providing various welfare, benefits, and support for the hardworking students. Most of the students are satisfied and live in school.

Perhaps that's why there were heated candlelight vigils and major changes in the country. Unfortunately, horseback riding, among other things in the Korean horse industry, was at the center of the news and delivered bad images of horseback riding every day. An incident caused tremendous damage to the entire horse industry, which forced many people, including myself, who ran the actual horse racing course, to overcome very difficult times. The first comprehensive plan for the horse industry came as an unforeseen 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 horseback riding to the public.

The message that the Korea Horse Producers Association wants to convey to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs is that the first horse industry plan was quantitative growth, while the second horse industry plan is expected to 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 horse racing sector has not been made. In order to install rural horse riding facilities, existing farmland must be converted into sports land, but excessive farmland conversion charges are a big burden.

Compared to three years ago, the number of horses has increased from 25 heads to 71 heads, and the company manages all the facilities ranging from breeding. It has also doubled the number of teachers to become professional teachers by training them to acquire various leadership qualifications. As the birthplace of professional education that is better than universities, the company has built infrastructure and curriculum that people in advanced countries of the horse industry envy. The project to expand related facilities such as horseracing, horse racing, and harnesses will be completed this year. We have reorganized the curriculum effectively and are focusing on improving theory classes. We will directly request the Korea-US Scholarship Foundation and invite native speakers from August.

In particular, it was a year that caused even more damage to the operators of horse racing courses across the country in difficult conditions 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 horse riding privileges. In addition, it was a disappointing and regrettable year for professional horse racing producers 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 a year when soil and soil meet and mix with big soil like Musan and alcohol,

When it comes to youth horseback riding, they are now focused on competition rather than education. I think it is okay not to ride it accurately and just to go as fast as possible even if it is dangerous. Even at the competition site, coaches do not instruct them to ride it exactly and teach them "Hurry up" and "turn." This is not an education. When you are young, you should play a game that includes education, rather than deciding who will be ranked first, second or third. Since the last competition in Sangju, the company has implemented the standard jumping class, which transforms the Hunter game of the U.S.A. Standard jumping class is an event that requires a lot of education. If you don't ride it correctly, you won't be able to win a prize. Youth riding must be based on education so that you can become an advanced horse-riding country in the long run. If you focus on grades, you can shine, but it is no different from our generation's horseback riding.

Currently, the Jeju Livestock Promotion Agency is preparing a competition for the operator of the horse training base center, and if it is attracted, it is expected that the establishment of the lineage of Hallama will be accelerated. Two trainers have already been secured, and we will thoroughly prepare in accordance with the guidelines of the competition. It will also hold a national horse-riding competition with Hallama. We will make sure that Hallama is a good rider and increase its brand value. If there is a chance, we are willing to hold international competitions beyond domestic competitions. Malaysian international judges attended the competition, and they showed a positive response when they saw Hallama.

As I rode alone and rode in a comfortable position, my posture became solid. It was difficult because it took a long time to fix my firm posture. I injured the ligament of my big toe three weeks before the first practical examination of the certificate. I was diagnosed with a five-week rest by the doctor. I lost my composure and was anxious because the test was just around the corner. I only went home and hospital for three weeks The day before I took the test, I went to school and practiced only once with my classmates. And I passed. I think I was lucky. When I took the practical test, I could take the test in Jama, so I took the school horse and rode it. It would have been difficult if I had been assigned a new horse, but it was a horse that I used to ride all the time at school,

Students come to the school every Wednesday to take rehabilitation riding classes, and they applied for volunteers at the beginning of the semester and gained a lot of experience by volunteering next to them. In the second semester of the first year, I prepared a demonstration test for the second class of rehabilitation horseback riding. At that time, Professor Park Geum-ran and Instructor Song Yeon-hee kindly explained and demonstrated next to me, helping me to teach myself. As such, the intimacy of the students receiving rehabilitation horseback riding was increased and the burden of the class decreased, and the worry and tension about the test decreased. Riding a horse was the most difficult.

In some cases, "Classic Girl" is so determined to do it that it feels like she's laughing at me, asking, "Is this all you can do?" In fact, I thought about retiring this year. Two years ago, after having a stomachache surgery, I had cellulitis twice in August last year. Now I think I should retire and have a comfortable life. I was going to retire in April and send him to a long life to have a baby by mating with Rico, but it didn't happen because Classic Girl was too big. It is said that the possibility of giving birth to a baby is not high due to the old age. I plan to pick up the students at MasterHalls in the future. He is also the executive director of the Korea Student Horses Association. Direction for the development of youth horseback riding. Youth horse riding is the essence of education.

However, I failed in practical training. After I failed the rehabilitation horse riding instructor, I thought, 'Let's work hard for a year and stick to it', so I rode a horse even on a cumbersome, cold, and unwanted day. It was really hard, but the side helped me a lot. Professor Choo Ho-geun, Professor Park Geum-ran, instructor and my classmates led me. Whenever I had a slump and it was difficult, and I didn't want to do it, I was able to do it, so I think I got a certificate by saying, 'You can do it. I learned practical skills in the first grade, so I didn't feel pressured about the difference between the two certificates. I learned general horse riding and racing magic in advance at school and prepared for the certificate more easily.

Ahead of the Guangzhou Asian Games, I visited Germany in early 2010 to purchase horses for athletes and classes. As soon as I saw "Classic Girl," I thought I should buy this horse. The color of the horse was really pretty and the speed of the story was unusual. The idea was that not only me but also all the people who went with me should take "Classic Girl" in one voice. Usually, mares are prone to sulk and sensitive. Classic Girl is dull and intelligent despite being a mare. Even if you get strong, you are struggling only then, but the next day you don't keep it in mind and start anew. If you are a person, you are very patient. The part I am worried and afraid of while teaching horses is that they will give up. If you give up on other words, no matter how much people try to do.

Rural promotion officials will get closer to farmers and the public with such dog friendliness, listen to the voices of the field and practice them. We will continue to innovate the way we work to establish an organizational culture that values the field and customers. We will strengthen communication with the field by thinking from the perspective of farmers and the public and reflecting the voices of consumers from the planning stage of the project. This year, the Winter Olympics, a global festival, will be held in Pyeongchang, Korea. In preparation for the Olympics, we will actively support them to be recorded as the most successful Olympics in which farmers and the public participate together

The Gyeonggi Horse Racing Association selected students to discover and foster promising Olympic players ahead of the 88 Olympics. One of the selected friends recommended me to my teacher, saying that I am good at sports. At that time, it cost quite a lot to ride horses. My parents said that I should stop riding because I was not well-off, but I thought I would die if I didn't ride a horse. All the friends I started with at that time quit, but I stayed with the horse until the end. Choi Joon-sang quit due to personal reasons after the Guangzhou Asian Games. Because Choi Joon-sang was the only dressage player, someone had to do dressage. Coach Park Jae-hong recommended me. I declined for a week after hearing the coach's words, but after a lot of thought, I changed the sport.

It is important for students to see and experience advanced countries in the horse industry when they are young. In Japan, 10 students are sent to Northern Farm every year for training. The ranch in Japan is really nice, but I applied through an on-site announcement on the website and got help from former CEO of the Seoul Riding Association and CEO of Northern Farm. Northern Farm is so interested in our students that it invested 1 billion won (982 million dollars) to build and invite them. The U.S. has a horseback riding program at the peak of private education. Since it is not only possible to stay in Korea, students who are challenging to send their students to Australia and New Zealand are actively seeking jobs and having good experiences there. We are also preparing to provide support with our own budget for globalization.

We will expand the base for proper rice production and production of field crops through the cultivation of field crops using rice paddies and the development of technology for mechanizing field agriculture, and promote rice consumption by revitalizing processing industries such as the development of rice flour-only varieties and processed foods.
