Perhaps everything will return to normal from next year after this year. I think it will be an association that only makes progress in the future. The reality is that horse-producing farmers have to make profits, but they are not. For example, if a livestock house is built, about 60% of it is supported by the province. However, primary industry producers often do not even receive that support because they do not have money. If the province provides 50 million won, you have to pay 50-60 million won at your own expense, but horse-producing farmers without money will return as a big burden. However, I am worried because the price of horses is not rising and continues to fall.

This year, the focus was on establishing the lineage of Hallama. In order for Hallama to succeed as a horseback riding, it is necessary to establish a brand first, and a clear lineage must be established first. And the endurance competition was held this spring, and the "2017 Hallama Festa National Endurance Competition" is held twice in the first and second rounds. As it is related to various organizations and organizations, it seems that some signs were not correct. As a result, the timing of the competition was a little late, and the competition was held twice. There may be differences of opinion in holding a single competition, and misunderstandings may be missed in the process.

As such, the Hanram Producers Association is taking steps toward new challenges for Hanram and the development of the domestic horse industry. The problem is the realistic wall that the 'budget' for promoting the business is not sufficiently secured. Amid the difficult reality, Kang Dong-woo, president of the Hanram Producers Association, who plays the role of the captain at the center of Hanram's new challenge, was met at the site of the Hanram Festa National Endurance Competition. This competition is designed to prove Hanram's value as a horseback riding in Korea along with the expansion of the base of domestic horseback riding. In addition, it is also a competition that serves as a stepping stone for Hanram, a representative Korean horse racing.

When I was in high school, adults were confused with horse racing. I had a bad perception of horse racing, so I thought it was bad. So I explained horse riding and horse racing a lot. People think that horse riding is expensive. There are a lot of people around me who want to ride horses, but I can't easily access them because I think it costs a lot of money. Also, because of the prejudice that 'horses are dirty', most of the horse riding grounds are outside the country, so transportation is inconvenient. I hope that people's perception of horses will change and be popularized as soon as possible because I can't do anything about these parts. Lee Yu-ri passed four certificates unconditionally even on a day when she didn't want to ride a horse with the mindset of 'Let's work hard for a year and pass it'

Three weeks before the first practical test of the certificate, I injured the ligament of my big toe. I was diagnosed with a five-week break 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 with my classmates only once. And I passed. I think I was lucky. When I took the practical test, I could take the test with 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, so I felt less pressure and confidence in the test. For this reason, the practical test score turned out well. I am looking for a job because it is the time to get a job.

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 hardest. My classmates are improving, but I came from riding a horse in high school, so I have my own posture. I changed my riding posture and thought this was right, but after learning in a pretty posture for the first time, I saw that my skills improved gradually, and I seemed to have stagnated. This was the most difficult. In Korean Martha's High School, there are many students, so we take classes in groups. I am the type who improves when someone tells me. As I rode in a comfortable position while riding alone, my posture became solid. It was difficult because it took a long time to try to fix my firm posture.

In connection with the pesticide egg scandal, which has become a social issue, we will strengthen the management and supervision authority of the Korea Food Safety and Management Certification Institute and emergency inspections of HACCP-certified farms by revising related laws to improve the overall business process so that safe livestock products can be distributed by canceling certification when harmful substances such as pesticides are detected. We will push for early exports of items that have been suspended due to the outbreak of domestic diseases, support stable and continuous quarantine of items that are being exported such as samgyetang, and reorganize the system for systematic management and support of export agricultural products from the production stage to the export stage,

In addition, we will strengthen the foundation for plant quarantine by making it mandatory to report the detection of high-risk foreign diseases such as foreign red fire ants and expanding the inspection manpower, establishing a nationwide forecasting network, and establishing a forecast control center to prevent high-risk foreign diseases such as foreign red fire ants. In addition, we will advance the management of plant pests by quickly detecting pests that are concerned about exporting countries such as fruit burn disease and conducting scientific epidemiological investigations through genetic analysis by utilizing advanced technology of unmanned aerial vehicles and unmanned forecasting traps. In order to prevent the inflow of harmful overseas diseases and plant pests, border quarantine will be conducted thoroughly at airports.

We will make all-out efforts to prevent the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza, which is currently occurring intermittently in duck farms, from spreading and to end it early. We will make preemptive and effective quarantine management through scientific epidemiological analysis based on information and communication technology and big data such as the Internet of Things (IoT). To prevent the recurrence of foot-and-mouth disease, we will maintain the positive rate of lean antibodies at more than 70% and try to achieve the goal of cleanliness of foot-and-mouth disease by establishing a site-oriented regular quarantine system.

As such, last year, the quarantine headquarters worked tirelessly to create a healthy livestock environment for animals and the people based on the efforts of all employees and to realize a border quarantine that protects the agricultural and livestock industry. To all the employees of the Agricultural and Livestock Quarantine Headquarters and the people who care for the Agricultural and Livestock Quarantine Headquarters! The role and duties of the quarantine headquarters are getting increasingly heavy due to the global spread of national disaster-type livestock infectious diseases and high-risk plant pests, the increased likelihood of introduction into Korea, the continuous emergence of new and mutated animal diseases,

test008

However, with a sense of mission to eradicate it as soon as possible, we have focused on preventing the further spread of the disease and ending it early through precise diagnosis and epidemiological investigations. And as foreign red fire ants were discovered through preliminary observation at the container yard at Gamman Pier in Busan Port on September 28, we mobilized all available personnel to strengthen quarantine and forecasting of major ports. In addition, we implemented rapid control work with related ministries to prevent foreign red fire ants from entering and spreading into Korea. In addition, through active quarantine negotiations with export partners, fresh agricultural products such as pears and tomatoes were exported to South America for the first time,

The new year of hopeful martial arts has arrived in 2018. Last year, we would like to express our gratitude to the staff of the Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Quarantine Headquarters for silently performing their duties in their respective positions despite difficult conditions such as foot-and-mouth disease, highly pathogenic avian influenza, and the first discovery of an alien red fire ant. The new year is the Year of the Golden Dog. The dog is an animal that symbolizes bravery and wisdom, and also a partner that has been with humans for a long time. The quarantine headquarters will also approach the people one step closer, become a partner in empathy and communication. Despite a number of difficult conditions last year, the quarantine headquarters produced excellent results based on the expertise and know-how accumulated so far.

In addition, we will strengthen the foundation for plant quarantine by making it mandatory to report the discovery of pests and to quickly detect and control high-risk foreign pests such as foreign red fire ants, expanding the inspection manpower, establishing a nationwide forecasting network, and establishing a forecast control center. In addition, we will advance the management of plant pests by quickly detecting pests that are concerned about exporting countries such as fruit trees and burns by utilizing advanced technology of unmanned aerial vehicles and unmanned forecasting traps, and conducting scientific epidemiological investigations through genetic analysis. Second, for a clean Korea,

Since the first outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Gochang, North Jeolla Province on November 17, additional outbreaks have caused concern to livestock farmers and the people in Yeongam, South Jeolla Province, and Jeongeup, North Jeolla Province, but with a sense of mission to eradicate it as soon as possible, we have focused on preventing the further spread of the disease and ending it early through precise diagnosis and epidemiological investigations. And as foreign red fire ants were found through preliminary observation at the container yard at Gamman Pier in Busan Port on September 28, we have strengthened quarantine and observation at major ports by mobilizing all available personnel.

While developing varieties and cultivation technologies that can adapt to climate changes such as constant drought and heat waves, we will introduce tropical and subtropical crops to foster them as new income crops and strive to develop rapid control technologies against diseases and insect pests. We will protect the people's healthy diet by establishing a safe food production and supply system such as eco-friendly ecological agriculture and safety management of agricultural materials. In particular, in preparation for the full implementation of the pesticide permitted substance list management system (PLS), we will expand the registration of pesticides ex officio and actively promote pesticide safety use education to produce safe crops and prevent damage to farmers.

Again this year, Korea's agricultural and rural communities are facing major changes and challenges such as expansion of market opening, climate change, and aging population, including FTAs. The huge wave of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which brings about innovative changes in the national system, society and life as a whole, is also coming in. However, these changes and challenges can be new opportunities depending on how we accept and utilize them. As with the old idiom that means to overcome waves with wind, we should not shrink and prepare for the future even more boldly. In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the Rural Development Administration will seek answers on the spot at the level of farmers and the public

The improvement of horse racing infrastructure such as racers' long-cherished dream, such as racetracks and horse racing, also began in earnest. Members of the Seoul Horse Racing Association, which have led such changes and innovations in Korean horse racing, have devoted themselves to discovering better racehorses and maintaining their responsibilities, roles and core values despite stagnant horse racing sales and prize money. In addition, in September, they have taken the lead in implementing the Nobleys Oblige as a face-to-face, opening the Seoul Hyojeong School, the first visually impaired children's school in Korea that operates under the names of the current strongest horse, Choi Kang-siler, Clean Up Joy, and Mighty Gem.

Even horse racing had to suffer from the pain of being driven to an object of social deep-rooted evils, and it was a year marred by a series of suicides by horse racing officials and the decision to close over-the-counter sales centers in Daejeon and Yongsan. Despite the enormous social contribution of the horse racing industry, the negative public view of horse racing and the reality of Korean horse racing, which is gradually losing its place amid excessive government regulations, weigh heavily on our hearts even at this moment. As you can see, Korean horse racing has suffered greatly over the past few years, going through the throes of horse racing innovation. In the midst of a whirlwind of bone-cutting innovation, we have spent a fierce time for the right horse racing innovation,

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.

test008

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, just as we exit a dark tunnel. Although the goal of the integrated racing of Korean horses and entering Part II has been achieved, the support for the improvement of racehorses derived from the process of achieving that goal has not yet been sufficient, and I am concerned that the horse racing production industry,

The Saemangeum Joint Production Promotion Complex, which the association is ambitious to create a joint production and promotion complex for racehorses by drastically reducing management costs and producing and fostering excellent racehorses in 800 ha of Saemangeum Agricultural Life Zone 6-2 and promoting the sustainable development of racehorses and Korean horse racing, has been reflected in the "Second Comprehensive Plan for the Promotion of the Horse Industry" organized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, showing that the desperate hopes and hard work of officials inside and outside the association has not been in vain.

If you come to the inland domestic horse auction held in May, July, and October 2018, you will be able to meet high-quality breeding horses produced and nurtured by producers and training trainers under the support of Let's Run Farm Jangsu at a foam-removed price, so please pay active attention and participate. With about 3 billion won in incentives from the Korean Horse Association to replace seed horses, racehorse producers spent 7.5 billion won to introduce a total of 179 overseas excellent seed horses in 2016 and 2017. In order to prevent the outflow of dollars to imported seed horses for breeding purposes, an institutional mechanism is needed to induce natural circulation from race horses to seed horses by expanding the organization of preferential races.

With most farmers experiencing sales cliffs due to the liberalization of imports of foreign horses and the concentration of the top prize money, which has been carried out since the implementation of the horse racing innovation plan in 2015, it is desperately necessary to introduce a subsidy support system for closing down the market to preserve some of the investment in grasslands and facilities and prepare for a new livelihood when limited racehorse production farms close their businesses. The revitalization of auctions organized by a trustworthy association can no longer be delayed in order to ensure transparency in the distribution structure of racehorses and to form a fair market value for racehorses between many sellers and buyers.

The direction of industrial policy at the end of 2018 should be to improve the quality of life of the people and revitalize the rural economy through fostering the horse industry. Specifically, the government should focus on expanding demand for the horse industry and creating a foundation for the horse industry, and also on the creation of a horse industry complex to strengthen the competitiveness of the horse industry and the revitalization of the horse industry special zone. In addition, the government should strengthen its capacity not only to create a foundation for the production and distribution of horse meat, but also to cultivate professional manpower in the horse industry and to promote the promotion of horse racing.

Although Korea now has about 30,000 horses, if you look at the history of Goryeo, you can see the record of having 1 million horses during the Goryeo Dynasty. This tells us that Korea was a horse powerhouse in Central Asia and around the world. Horse experts also evaluate that Korean guahamas, or Jeju horses, are much stronger than Mongolian horses. Given that not only citizens but also many foreigners showed interest and reaction to the Eurasian Altai Cultural Exchange Exhibition, which was held in Gwanghwamun Square in 2017 with the Seoul Horse Industry Association's "Seoul Horse Culture Festival," I am confident that the horse industry can become a major policy of Korea like K-POP in the future.
