Wishing all 900,000 equestrians across the country and all those involved in the horse industry a very happy New Year. Like running swiftly, I wish you a strong and unstoppable year ahead.The values people aspire to in life are gradually changing. Where work used to come first, now more emphasis is being placed on the importance of work-life balance. The rise of the travel and tourism industry, along with the growing attention on various sports, reflects this.

Even amid the darkness and chaos beyond our grasp, all of us in the racing community over the past year did not give in to despair or crisis, and we never stopped on our great journey of challenge after challenge.Entering Part II, Korean horse racing, as a new member of the global racing community, experienced a period of growth marked by small on-site changes aimed at strengthening competitiveness, such as last year’s expedition to the Dubai World Cup, the introduction of advanced overseas personnel, changes in racehorse training patterns,

Over the past year, as we struggled for the development of horse racing amid a desperate crisis, our horse racing industry had to endure great wounds and suffering, while being socially condemned for distorted perceptions and prejudice toward horse racing amid the national turmoil caused by the state affairs scandal. It was even a painful year in which horse racing was branded as a target for eradicating deep-rooted social evils, and it was also a year stained by a series of suicides among horse racing officials

Pohang earthquake last year, it is clear that Korea’s horse industry also lacks a solid production base and could collapse in an instant. Just as we design earthquake-resistant structures, we should once again review Korea’s horse industry policies and, supported by policies and investments that enable mutual growth and development, hope to see the completion of Part II and the dawn of a natural era of Part I through the production of domestic horses that surpass foreign ones.

Although the goals of moving toward an integrated Korean horse racing system and entering Part II have been achieved, there remains insufficient support for the improvement of racehorses and the stable establishment of the production infrastructure that would have been derived in the process of achieving those goals, raising concerns that the racehorse production industry, which forms the foundation of horse racing, may become a precarious structure built on shaky foundations.

With about 3 billion won in incentives from the Korea Racing Authority for replacing stallions with germ-free horses, racehorse producers spent 7.5 billion won in total to introduce a total of 179 excellent germ-free stallions from overseas in 2016 and 2017. Even to prevent the outflow of dollars required for breeding-purpose imported stallions, institutional measures are needed to encourage a natural turnover from racehorses to stallions,

Since the implementation of the 2015 Racing Innovation Plan, most farms have been experiencing a sales cliff due to the liberalization of imports of foreign horses and the concentration of prize money in first-place finishes, which has led to the purchase of outstanding horses by owners. In this situation, it is urgently necessary to introduce a closure subsidy support system so that if racehorse-producing farms, which are already in a critical situation, go out of business,

Despite many difficulties over the past year, Korean horse racing has made relentless efforts to find a breakthrough to overcome the crisis. Reflecting on the self-portrait of Korean horse racing, which at times lost sight of the core values of “coexistence and competition” by being forced into distorted competition, we now promise to create a new Year of the Dog with fresh hope and leap forward from a new starting line, and we ask for your continued interest and support for Korean horse racing.

Specifically, the focus should be on expanding demand in the horse industry and establishing a foundation for it, while also paying attention to creating a complex horse industry complex and revitalizing a special horse industry zone to strengthen the competitiveness of the horse industry. In addition, we must strengthen our capacity not only to establish a foundation for the production and distribution of horse meat, but also to cultivate specialized personnel for the horse industry and to popularize horseback riding

Even this alone shows that our country was a horse power not only in Central Asia but also throughout the world. Horse experts also assess that Korea’s Guahama, that is, the Jeju horse, a native Korean breed, is far more resilient than the Mongolian horse.Considering that the Eurasian Altai Cultural Exchange Exhibition, held in 2017 at Gwanghwamun Square alongside the Korea Language Industry Association’s Seoul Language Culture Festival,attracted not only citizens but also many foreigners,

Korea is the world’s first nation to achieve both an economic miracle and a political miracle in the world for the first time in 70 years. Do you know that Genghis Khan was originally a descendant of the Korean people. A recent discovery has recorded that Genghis Khan was the 19th-generation descendant of Daeyabal, the younger brother of Balhae’s Dae Jo-yeong. The Korean people are a nation that, while arrogantly ruling the Manchurian plains, conquered the entire world beyond East Asia—China,

Through the first comprehensive horse industry plan, an unforeseen period of hardship came to South Korea’s horse industry, which had been growing rapidly, but in some respects it seems that this also created an opportunity to introduce the public to the unfamiliar world of equestrianism.Of course, trying to gain a success rate through noise marketing is not an option, given the very poor image it has built, and it is judged that it will still require a great deal of effort and time to recover.

Perhaps because of that, there were also the candlelight rallies that blazed brightly and major changes in the state. Unfortunately, at the center of it all was our horse industry, and among its various sectors, “equestrianism” was the headline news, conveying negative images about equestrianism day after day.One incident caused tremendous damage to the entire horse industry, and as a result, many people, including myself—who actually ran an equestrian center—had to overcome extremely difficult times.

Only then can the demand for riding horse production be revitalized, and it can lead to increased profits for specialized riding horse producer members. If the producers’ association is revitalized, the development and production of excellent Korean-style riding horses will naturally follow, and I believe the livestock policy intended by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs as an FTA alternative for livestock farmers will succeed.Finally, I wish that all horse-related organizations and professionals across
