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 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.

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. Korea's rehabilitation horse began as a social and public interest project at Samsung Electronics Hiking Troupe in 2001. I participated in the operation of the rehabilitation horse riding program with a light heart that allows children with brain lesions to have a different experience as an event, but the rehabilitation effect for children with disabilities was more than expected.

There was no way to improve the system. Competition was the priority. Whether voluntarily or not, racing, where people are dying, should stop. It is human nature that a good racehorse can come out only when people are peaceful, safe, and happy. Fortunately, the "Measures to Improve the Employment Structure of Horse Managers" signed last year by the participation of the two major labor unions, the Korea Racing Authority, the Euljiro Committee, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs decided to hold a working-level committee on horse racing plans and pending issues related to practical affairs. It is hoped that communication between the horse racing society and horse racing organizations will be facilitated and voices of the field will be properly reflected in the system.

At first, it was so hard to understand Korean. I couldn't communicate, so everything didn't work out as I thought. Of course, there is no obstacle to communication now. During my public service, I made a lot of mistakes, and I was scolded a lot and studied Korean a lot. I was stressed out about eating because my height and physique are big as a jockey. I starved a lot and desperately stuck to exercise. The process was really difficult. I thought a lot about this path because I was losing weight. I kept thinking that I might be behind because I had a lot of outstanding competitors. In the meantime, I had to get recognized by the instructors and recognized by the people around me, and it was so hard to constantly compete with someone I was close to in order to survive among the candidates.

I am learning a lot from Teacher Shin Sam-young's Mabang. The best thing about our Mabang is that our family members are so close. When I enter the Mabang, I feel that they are taking good care of me, who is still unfamiliar with everything, so I feel warm in my heart. My uncle was a jockey, so I came to the racetrack and watched horse racing since I was very young. Although I was young, I was fascinated by the horses and riders I saw at the time, and I think I naturally dreamed of becoming a jockey. Originally, I spent eight years in Myanmar with my brother. I studied English while attending an international school, but when my brother left for the United States, I came back to Korea. In Korea, I entered Masago and dreamed of becoming a jockey. Riding a horse was so fun and attractive.

Seoul Racecourse has improved the working conditions that senior managers and senior workers have been in poor condition over the past 100 years. It's not that I'm not going to work or doing less, but that I'm going to work while keeping the laws, regulations, and systems. It means that the employment, survival rights, and safety of horse managers' workers should be premised on that, 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. Innovation created unilaterally by the horse racing society should be completely blanked, and new innovation measures that presuppose concerns and empathy with the parties concerned should be created.

After about four months of implementation, various opinions are emerging on the rating system and mountainous integrated racing. The racing system transformation TF said it has announced the above policy after analyzing the results during the above period and determining that domestic horses are still somewhat lacking in competitiveness compared to foreign horses. Initially, it was decided to readjust in accordance with the purpose of improving the quality of horse racing by strengthening the competitiveness of domestic horses. The adjusted rating will be applied from the first week of July. Attention is focusing on the results of the integrated race between domestic and foreign horses following the rating adjustment.

Unfortunately, public opinion was formed and discussions were held that the employment insecurity, excessive competition systems, and poor working conditions of horse racing workers triggered by the death of two horse racing managers in Pukyong, should be improved. In the process, the managers of Seoul were driven by the dichotomy logic that because employment is stable and competitiveness is low, they work less and take more salaries. The history of Seoul and Pukyong 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 the horse racing society that Seoul is high cost, low efficiency, and Pukyong is low cost and high efficiency, and thanks to this, horse racing officials and even some horse racing fans are driving public opinion to pigs who distributed Seoul with the same logic.

Looking back on the past year, I am deeply grateful to everyone who worked and worked in various fields with a sense of responsibility to protect the horse industry and the educational field rather than expectations and hopes for the development of the Korean horse industry, and I hope that last year's painful memories will be handed over to the old year and the new year will begin as a blessed day with a strong hoof sound. The second five-year plan for the development of the horse industry has not yet been materialized and efforts to revive the horse industry, which only lives like a plant human, are more important than ever. At the end of 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

This is an interview 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. Holt School is providing students with emotional communication and stability through a healing horse riding program. The mother of Cho Tae-hyun is very helpful. I saw children's self-esteem increase a lot through horseback riding, and some children who are physically challenged regain their sense of balance. I am not an expert in rehabilitation therapy, but I think it is helpful for rehabilitation therapy. And I think I get to have consideration by interacting with horses. Emotionally and physically, horseback riding is a very good sport for children.

I think it is a great honor to win the first horse race since I became an official flag bearer. Since he is a small racehorse, he was instructed to follow the operation comfortably without difficulty. I thought that I would be able to achieve a good result if I settled down well until the fourth corner because Chu Yin-su is a good horse. In the beginning, I was worried that I might be too behind, but I expected to win the championship due to my last-minute momentum. I shouldn't have done that, but I woke up too early because I liked it, and I shouted out loud cheers. It was originally a horse that was ridden by Eul-woon, but it seems that Cheon-woon followed. I would like to say thank you to everyone who helped me.

Hwaseong City applied to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs for 2,504 square meters of eco-farmland, which will be built in the Hwagong intersection of Mado-myeon and Sinseo-myeon, as a candidate site for the Mal Industry Special Zone. However, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs excluded Hwaseong City from the candidate site because it is unclear whether the project will proceed even if the special Mal Industry Zone is designated because Eco Farmland has not been in progress for nearly 10 years.Sangju, Gumi, Gunwi, Uiseong, and Yeongcheon in Gyeongsangbuk-do, where five basic local governments formed a consortium from the application, had their own basic business plans or designation requirements for the designation of a special Mal industry zone, but were eliminated from the candidate site because sales were expected to be small after the designation of a special Mal industry zone.

Finally, Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who said, "The Korean Horse Association will be different and should be different," said, "Let's all become the main players of creating a new history of the Korean Horse Association in a confident manner." Unlike the usual rigid atmosphere, the atmosphere of the inauguration ceremony was due to the expectation that he would be the first horse president 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 recognize 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.

As if he understood the mistakes of internal factional issues, which led to complaints against Ma and submission to the outside such as the National Assembly and the media, he said, "I will not tolerate any resistance or pressure on this road," and added, "I will put my everything on the line to prevent it." On the other hand, he said, "I will fully repay the employees who work hard, are creative, responding faithfully to the call of the state, and contribute to the national interest on behalf of the state. When I meet your expectations, please support and support me generously." He also said, "The chairman protects the institution and organization, and the members of the organization trust and protect the chairman. That is what promises the prosperity of the community as a Korean horseback riding society."

Most welcome of all is the recognition that "the Korean Horse Association is neither an intelligence agency nor an institution that requires special security," and emphasized that "we will ensure that all possible areas of work can be carried out transparently." He also said that it is the "shortcut to restoring trust to the public." Analysts say the remarks were made in consideration of the worsening image of the Korean horse racing society and the horse industry, which were triggered by former chairmen cutting off or avoiding some media at the "advice" of some followers. The second task can be concentrated on coping with the declining of the horse racing industry. Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who said generating profits through horse racing is difficult for the future even considering global trends, mentioned the crisis of closing the over-the-counter sales office.

In particular, since the establishment of infrastructure to revitalize horseback riding is also an important value, he said, "We believe that not only horse racing but also the horse riding industry must grow together to complete the development of the horse industry in a true sense."Before restoring trust to the public, he said, "The first priority is to create an organizational culture that trusts each other," and he promised to do so because the most important value to implement this is fairness in personnel management as the head of the Korean Racing Authority. "We will protect the trust of the organization through fair personnel management and deploy personnel at the right place according to our capabilities," Chairman Kim Nak-soon said. "Fair personnel management will be the trademark of Kim Nak-soon. Please keep an eye on her."

Three regions in Gyeonggi Province and five in North Gyeongsang Province formed a consortium to apply for the designation of the special zone, and the Gyeongbuk region, which scored the first place, was designated as the second special zone for horse industry, and the Gyeonggi region, which scored the second place, was designated as the third special zone. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the Gyeongbuk region is considered to have favorable conditions for revitalizing the horse industry by introducing and distributing breeding horses led by local governments through its own horse industry promotion project. In particular, Gumi City, Yeongcheon City, Sangju City, Gunwi County, and Uiseong County (4,582㎢), designated as the second special zone, are well-established areas with infrastructure to foster the horse industry by attracting horse racing parks and securing a number of professional manpower training institutions.

It was a time when I studied normally and prepared for college entrance without knowing the job of jockey. I came across a horse racing official who was a university professor at the time, and he recommended me to be a jockey. Since then, I have been interested and got information and prepared for it. In May 2005, I joined the Seoul management company. I had dreamed of becoming a jockey before, but seeing him drive horses around Gyeongju-ro while working as a manager made my dream all the more desperate. I'm so happy to be on the stage of my dream. My acquaintance suggested that I try it because he has a job as a jockey because he is smaller than my age. That was when I was in middle school, so I had a dream a little early on. Watching me preparing, my parents also cheered me on for walking this path.

Above all, he emphasized that he would love and trust the Korean Horse Association organization indefinitely, and said, "We can be loved enough depending on how we do it."The two tasks of the Korean Horse Association that Chairman Kim Nak-soon revealed were the restoration of public trust and the handling of difficulties in the declining of the horse racing industry. It is a very difficult challenge to return the frozen heart to a warm gaze, but he stressed that he will surely achieve the restoration of public trust by adding the outstanding abilities, passion, and beliefs of the executives and employees of the Korean Horse Association. He emphasized that the best path and the focus of the Korean Horse Association is to return to an institution that is faithful to its purpose of establishment, he said,

Chairman Kim Nak-soon was first called as the 36th chairman of the Korea Racing Authority and said it was a personal honor. 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.

Looking at the unprecedented situation, such as the postponement of the CSAT due to last year's Pohang earthquake, the horse industry has not had a strong production base and is designed to withstand the thought that it could collapse in a moment. We look back on Korea's horse industry policy once again, and we hope that the completion of Part II and the era of natural Part I will come with the production of domestic horses that surpasses foreign horses thanks to the establishment of policies and investment that can develop co-prosperity. We sincerely thank the horse racing fans who always give us a lot of love for domestic horse racing, and we will do our best to produce faster and stronger horse racing horses through improvements such as replacing excellent seed horses thanks to your interest and support.

The Year of the Golden Dog in the Martial Arts 2018 has emerged vigorously. I wish you all good health and blessings in the wake of the strong spirit of the rising year. Last year is remembered as a very eventful and difficult year, from the earthquake and the end of the year to the fire disaster, in addition to the nation's anxiety caused by the national manipulation of state affairs, the impeachment of the president, and the nuclear provocation of North Korea. As the horse racing industry experienced a series of deaths from horse racing officials, voices for improved working conditions, and the rare occurrence of special labor supervision, the horse racing industry as a whole seems to be cold and exhausted. I hope that 2018 will be a year when all these things are spent in the oil refining year and turned around with a new beginning like a new sun of hope,

Since then, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has immediately started applying for re-designation, and it was widely expected that it would be difficult for each local government to meet the demand level.At that time, the three local governments, which had applied for the designation of the Mal Industry Special Zone since late 2014, complained that the standards of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs were too high as the evaluation results were low despite the application requirements presented by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. At that time, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs concluded that all candidate sites were not suitable for the designation of the Mal Industry Special Zone after conducting business plans, on-site inspections, and presentation review of the applicants.
