What is unfortunate, however, is that even though it has been a year of 破邪顯, which is newly written 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 horse was at the center of last year's historical event, is thought to have continued this year. It is very sad to think about disabled children who sit on horses and smile happily at the scene of rehabilitation riding. Korea's rehabilitation horse began in 2001 as a social and public service project at Samsung Electronics Hiking Troupe. 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 Management" 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 meeting of the horse racing committee (tentative name) and a joint bungling horse race workshop on a quarterly basis to discuss horse racing plans and pending issues related to practice.

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 of horse racing workers, the right to survive, and safety from industrial accidents should be premised, 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 quiet. Innovation created by the horse racing society unilaterally 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,

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,

As an alternative to the problem of depletion of coastal fish stocks caused by the use of raw feed for farmed fishing grounds, it emphasized the urgent need to change government policies to expand mixed feed.As the V-PASS supply project, which was carried out for the convenience and safety of fishermen, was a burden to fishermen due to lack of preparation, it was criticized for carrying out a policy inspection by suggesting alternatives, not just raising problems but urging the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries to improve the system. Representative Kim Chul-min said, "We will continue to take care of the matters pointed out in the national audit and make efforts to lead to system improvement and legislation," and expressed his acceptance speech, saying,

Representative Kim Chul-min pointed out that the general agricultural and fishing village development project, which has spent a total of 13 trillion won so far, has been reduced to a nuisance due to the standing by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the achievement-oriented operation of local governments, and urged the government to come up with measures to improve agricultural and rural development quickly. He focused on issues close to people's lives, pointing out that food safety problems that threaten the public's health, such as the pesticide egg scandal, are constantly occurring in our society and emphasizing the urgent need to improve the egg distribution structure centered on GP centers to ensure food safety for the people.

Among them, Cho Tae-hyun, who dreams of becoming a member of the national equestrian team on behalf of the horseback riding world, drew attention as a runner. Cho Tae-hyun, who ran as a torchbearer on the day, was running with Park Sang-young, a gold medalist in fencing in the Rio Olympics, and chanting, "I can do it." At the scene of the torchbearer, students and parents from the same school came out to cheer. Waving banners and cheering sticks, it was like enjoying a festival of people all over the world. Choi Myung-an, a teacher at Holt School who teaches Cho Tae-hyun, said, "It is an honor for my teaching student to participate in an international event, and I hope he will be a great friend based on today's feelings even after graduation.

Unlike the usual rigid atmosphere, the atmosphere of the inauguration ceremony was due to the expectation that he was the first horse leader appointed by the Moon Jae In government, applause or loud answers were poured out 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. After the inauguration ceremony, an official from the Korea Racing Authority said, "It is true that there were concerns that he was a parachute or a non-professional at the time of the cabinet government, but listening to today's inauguration speech seems to give us strength to overcome our internal distrust and exert positive influence externally.

I will not tolerate any resistance or pressure on this path," he said, as if he understood the mistake of internal factional issues that have led to complaints against the chairman of the Korean Horse Association and submission to the outside world, including the National Assembly and the media. "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, faithfully respond to the call of the state, and contribute to the people's interests on behalf of the state," and added, "Please support and support me generously when I meet your expectations." He also said, "The chairman protects the institution and organization, and the members of the organization trust and protect the chairman. That is what the Korean Horse Association promises to prosper the community.

The second task can be concentrated as a response to the standardization of the horse racing industry. Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who said that even with global trends, generating profits through horse racing is difficult for the future, mentioned the crisis of closing the over-the-counter sales office. "As a top professional manager of the horse industry, I know that there are some concerns and voices of concern," said Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who revealed his career as a professional manager and a scholar of lectures and research on culture and arts at universities and said, "The CEO realized that the ability to present the right direction and solve problems is the first virtue."

Chairman Kim Nak-soon said, "We will protect the trust of the organization through fair personnel appointments and deploy personnel at the right place according to capabilities," adding, "Fair personnel appointments will be Kim Nak-soon's trademark. Please keep an eye on her." Kim Nak-soon's inaugural address shows that she had thoroughly studied the horse racing industry and other pending issues, including the organization of the Korean Horse Association, before she became the head of the Korean Horse Association. As soon as she takes office, she will promptly start processing each department's work." In fact, she reportedly received briefings on each department's work on the day of her inauguration, last weekend, and until next Monday.

Emphasizing that the best path and the goal of the Korean Racing Authority is to return to an institution that is faithful to its founding purpose, he said, "The path is a responsibility given to us by the state and the true form of the Korean Racing Authority that the people expect." He also said that generating profits through horseback riding is not an end, but a means. Instead of maximizing profit generation, publicity and sharing should now come first, and he said, "Our community will strive to become a healthy institution that expects the highest productivity in the best condition." 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 horseback riding industry needs to grow together to complete the development of the horse industry in a true sense.

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." He also said, "We should be ashamed of ourselves for not being brave enough to tell the wrong part,

We also ask for a lot of support and encouragement in this regard, whether it is the government or the sports association. Daemyung Group, which does not spare investment in horseback riding, is playing a role as a driving force in the development of Korean horseback riding in name and reality. Kim Hong-chul, the general manager, said that the "Mayon A Horse," which began in 2015, is continuing to develop, and eventually, he wants to see foreign players bring in their horses and compete normally with domestic athletes by attracting CSI5*. Jeon Sung-won, the current head of the win-win marketing division, and Kim Jin-gap, the head of the Jeju Regional Headquarters, who was the head of the Jeju Regional Headquarters at the time of the agreement for win-win development of the horse industry, are still communicating with farmers in a responsible manner on this important issue, and are constantly developing related policies and applying them to the field.

In the future, Daemyung Group will continue to take the lead in popularizing horseback riding by combining various cultures and horseback riding that the public likes. It is true that the horseback riding industry slowed down for a while due to the Choi Soon-sil scandal. Daemyung Group also feels sorry for the students' view of horseback riding as a means to go to college. However, Daemyung is trying not only to expand its base for horseback riding, but also to keep its original intention of "Mayon-a-horse." It plans to continue developing sports and cultural encounters without being shaken by any drafts.Last year, it was held at the grass ranch and this year it was held at the Sonopelice Equestrian Club. It is true that the Sonopelice Equestrian Club was not able to organize the best environment for horses due to inconvenience such as the practice horse race last year.

First of all, we have prepared a 'school system' that systematically conducts production from the production process. Last year, first of all, we reviewed good research data on how to produce Thoroughbred and foster it before and after. There were many data on Thoroughbred in foreign countries and Korea, but none of them were Jeju horses. Standards related to Thoroughbred could not be applied to Jeju horses. Therefore, last year, a standard manual for production, fostering, and training, and specification management suitable for Jeju horses were created. Second, a mid- to long-term roadmap was drawn so that it did not end up with making and distributing manuals. Just as the study patterns are determined according to the university entrance examination system, it is important to set conditions and directions for joining the racehorse.

Therefore, I think the drifting project should be transformed into a virtuous cycle structure that can encompass everything, including the trading market. In particular, it is judged that the construction of a large horse-riding stadium is the most important. A horse-riding stadium must be available to hold horse-riding competitions for a long time there, and through the competition, everything such as domestic horse production, sales, feed, and janggu can be sold and activated. That way, I think the business can be unified. In addition, it would be nice if more such 'Mayon-a-horse' and international competitions were held. Of course, it is a sport. Horse-riding is an official Olympic sport. The recent problem with Jeong Yu-ra was also a negative aspect of political involvement. It is unfortunate that horse-riding is viewed negatively.

This year, they played in a dedicated stadium so that horses could play in their best condition. The grass was not pretty and stylish, but the competition was held in a dedicated stadium, so the reviews of foreign players were good as it was focused and compact. Horse Auction' is a policy project of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. In line with this, the auction part was added. It was conducted differently from the auction before. However, for the development of the horse industry, fundamental countermeasures are needed. The horse industry project has been launched with government policies for the past five years. I know that it first started between 2011 and 2012, and if 500 horse racing stadiums were built in the first five years and horse racing professionals were part of the first project, the five-year plan for horse racing development seems to be drifting away.

The problem was that when the data was finished, they said, "I made this. Please attend," but there was something that the farmers didn't come and didn't know. However, I couldn't let it go. After creating the manual for the first time and thinking about how it could be used in the field, I decided on two policies. First, the staff visits the farm in person to show that there is such a thing, and then makes them attend the entire training. So this year, I am visiting all the farms one by one to report the news of manual production and show the video through CDs. It is not just done at the racetrack or simply to inform them, but it is also visiting and demonstrating farms that are the size of the East and West regions. It is showing the actual training. As a result, a lot of nearby farmers attended.

In the case of Thoroughbred, the horserace has invested a lot of money in producing and training it from the stage before it becomes a racehorse. They make a lot of efforts before entering the racehorse by creating a longevity and Jeju ranch and operating personnel. On the other hand, in the case of Jeju horses, there were no such efforts. The general public's perception of Jeju horses and even the horserace employees' perception is that "Jeju horses can run with them." Like Thoroughbred, the production, training, and fostering processes are not systematic, but at some point, they are put into the race because they are old. As they enter the race without training, their expertise is poor and there are many accidents.

The 'Mayon-a-horse' is continuing to develop, and the 'Mayon-a-horse' will play a role in creating the popularization of horseback riding in the future. I also have confidence in this. However, I don't know how long it will take. The final goal of the 'Mayon-a-horse' that Daemyung Group wants is to promote CSI5* to create an environment where foreign players can bring their horses directly to Korea and have a normal horse-riding competition with their existing horses. In addition, I pay tribute to the management of Daemyung Group, which plays this role unselfishly.Equestrianism is now politically intertwined by a series of events. The equestrian who has worked silently so far may be the victims of the Choi Soon-sil scandal in a way.

You may question the effectiveness of the standard manual. So, we designated a demonstration farm. Four farms with facilities and motivation were designated among the producers. I selected 24 from four farms and they are actually training them according to the manual. Jeju National University, which produced the training manual, and staff of the pilot farm meet once a month to show results and refine the manual for difficulties. After some time, the horses were produced according to the manual. They track the data and compare horses that have been trained at the pilot farm with other horses according to their age. We will track and announce how early the race will be and how good their performance will be after the race. Knowing that it will be effective in other farms, we hope that it will spread to other farms soon."

Horses also run at a lower level. There is a lot of deviation from horses with good abilities. Overall, the quality of the race is deteriorating. Jeju Horse Racing is being broadcast in Seoul and Busan, and customers have complained that they can't watch it or what kind of horse racing is it? In fact, employees working at Let's Run Park Jeju have been agonizing over this issue, but there were limitations due to internal circumstances. As Hallama and Jeju Horse ran together, there were many conflicts, so they couldn't afford to systematically pour out training or energy.With the signing of an agreement on industrial development at the end of February 2016, the obstacles to going to Jeju Horse Racing were resolved. I couldn't take the Jeju Horse Racing the way it is now. I had to provide customers with products that I didn't feel ashamed of.

At a special zone meeting held in Jeju in June last year, Jeon Sung-won, head of the win-win marketing division, called for the central government's attention and set a direction with Jeju Special Self-Governing Province to foster Hallama, which will be removed from racehorses, as Korea's representative passenger horse from 2023. Support is needed to establish a system for the production and fostering, training, and distribution of horseback riding. Please pay attention." Kim Jin-gap, who has been in charge of Jeju-Gyeongju resource management at Let's Run Park Jeju since 2014, has also been working hard as a practitioner in charge of developing related policies and manuals, persuading farmers, and taking the lead in education. On May 7, he met with Kim Jin-gap, head of Jeju's Gyeongju Resource Management Department at Let's Run Park, and heard the progress of the systematic development of Jeju horses for Gyeongju.
