I would like to thank the horse owners for their support, the riders for riding well, and the Mabang family for their hard work. Above all, I would like to thank the horse most for running well. Since there were so many experienced and powerful opponents, we discussed a lot with the Mabang family to find a way to make up for their weaknesses. In particular, I asked the rider Song Jae-cheol to endure until the middle and push hard at the end, but he ran the race so calmly like an old man, and there was a good result. We plan to prepare for the future course after sufficient preparation according to the horse's health.

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,

However, it is analyzed that the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, which demanded a certain level or higher, has been lowered as both Gyeongbuk and Gyeonggi-do, which re-applied for the designation of special horse industrial zones, have been designated as special horse industrial zones. With the announcement of the designation of special horse industrial zones, the local government in question is in a festive mood. This is because the government's support has been guaranteed from the perspective of local governments, which are actively pursuing horse industry-related projects, allowing them to actively pursue horse industry-related projects. Regarding the continuous controversy over the "inflating the prevalence of gambling addiction" by the audit committee, experts said, "If the prevalence rate is high, it can help increase the social influence of the audit committee," adding, "However, only when the actual phenomenon is accurately measured can we make appropriate measure

Volunteers who participate in the class focus on helping the rider by leading the horse or walking next to the horse. It is said that rehabilitation horseback riding will be expanded and distributed mainly in public horse riding sites in the new year, so why don't we share warm hearts and exercise through volunteering? The Industrial Promotion Act was implemented at the end of 2011, and the second five-year plan will be announced soon. It is thought that it will be a timely prescription for horse industry sites in difficult situations. 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.

Gyeonggi Province, which scored the second-highest in the evaluation, is considered to have a continuous increase in the number of horseback riding people, including experience horseback riding, and has favorable conditions for the development of the horse industry as it is adjacent to large cities such as Seoul and Incheon. Yongin City, Hwaseong City, and Icheon City (1,897㎢), designated as the 3rd special zone, are the main points of transportation connecting the metropolitan area with Gangwon Province and Chungcheong Province, and are expected to revitalize the local economy by creating jobs and developing related industries through fostering the horse industry. For Gyeongbuk Province (five regions) and Gyeonggi Province (three regions), which were designated as special industrial zones this time, 5 billion won in budget will be provided over two years to build infrastructure such as horse riding facilities, training facilities, and professional manpower training institutions.

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. Rehabilitation horseback riding is a beautiful activity that people and horses create together.

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.

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.

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.

t 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.

It's the same. Article 29 I am learning from assistant teacher Bae Hue-jun, and we also tend to devote a lot of time and effort to one or two. I think this is the best Mabang for me, who still has a lot of things to learn, and I listen to what they say. I signed a contract with assistant teacher Park Dae-heung, who worked as a manager. In a word, our Mabang is powerful. From assistant teacher to master Mabang, everyone has a strong sense of humor. I think that's how much confidence and effort come from me. I will also try to keep pace. I have signed a master's contract with assistant teacher Uchang-gu in Group 5, where Watts Village is the winner of the Korea-Japan Exchange Competition. There are many famous horses and since Teacher Cho was an honorary master, he has a lot to learn. I think I have to work on a lot. It is perfect.

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.

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.

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.

It hasn't been long since we met each other, but I'm very happy and honored to win the horse race that I've dreamed of. These are the words I chose when I went to the Pesig-Tipton auction to see for myself. There were many words I originally thought of, but as soon as I saw these words, I felt like I was hooked, so I bought them. I think it's a really good choice, and I hope other horses will run well and continue this honor. I will try to grow into the best horse in Korea by taking good care of the horses I have. I will do my best to face each other so that I can even aim for overseas horse racing in the future.

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."

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.

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."

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.
