Although the goal of integrated racing and entering Part II of Korean racing has been achieved, there is still insufficient support for the improvement of racehorses and the stable establishment of the production base, so I am concerned that the racehorses production industry, which is the basis of horse racing, will become an unstable house of thought.Looking at the unprecedented situation, such as the postponement of the CSAT due to last year's Pohang earthquake, the horse industry has not a solid production base and can collapse in an instant, so we look back on Korea's horse industry policy once again and hope that the completion of Part II and the era of natural Part I will come with the production

Last year is remembered as a year that was truly eventful and difficult until the earthquake and fire disaster at the end of the year, 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 of horse racing officials, voices for improved working conditions, and the rare occurrence of special labor supervision, I hope that the horse racing industry, including the horse racing business, is generally cold and exhausted.

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 in the market since the implementation of the horse racing innovation plan in 2015, it is desperately necessary to introduce a subsidy support system for closure to preserve some of the investment in grasslands and facilities and to prepare for new livelihoods when limited racehorse production farms close down. The revitalization of auctions organized by a credible association can no longer be delayed in order to ensure transparency in the distribution structure of racehorses

The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries is currently pushing to revise the enforcement rules of the grassland law, which allows the use of auxiliary facilities such as horse-related facilities, livestock experience facilities, farm landscape facilities and simple rest facilities to be included within the scope of livestock breeding without a separate grassland-only permission, but horse riding facilities are not included. Therefore, the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province issued a revised opinion to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries' "Enforcement Rules of the grasslands law" so that rural horse riding facilities can be used without going through grasslands-only permission and said it is compromising with the government.

Korean Horse Association to replace seed mares, racehorse producers spent 7.5 billion won to introduce a total of 179 overseas excellent seed mares in 2016 and 2017. In order to prevent the outflow of dollars for imported seed mares for breeding purposes, an institutional mechanism is needed to induce natural circulation from racehorses to seed mares by expanding the organization of preferential races for imported mares.The Saemangeum Joint Production Promotion Complex, which the association is ambitious to create a joint production and promotion complex for racehorses and to promote the sustainable development of Korean horse racing by drastically reducing management costs

Preferably, in order to reorganize the auction market centered on one-year-old horses like developed countries, various support measures and systems such as limiting select auction horses and regularizing special races should be in place. Inland horses are efficiently using Let's Run Farm Jangsu's grasslands, and training has been possible regardless of weather conditions on the 400-meter indoor road of Let's Run Farm Jangsu, which was completed earlier this year. In a special race for the Breeze-up auction horse held at Let's Run Park Seoul on August 20 this year, inland horses' race power is being improved, with "Icheon Rice" and "Pulling Hands" ranked first and second.

When asked about his acceptance speech, Professor Park Geum-ran said, "I am happy to receive a commendation from the Minister of Agriculture, despite many people who have worked hard to develop the domestic horse industry. I will take it as a meaning to contribute more to the development of the horse industry in the future, and I will work hard."Meanwhile, Seorabeol University is actively engaged in volunteer activities related to rehabilitation horseback riding to enhance and promote the image of the domestic horse industry. Masagwa of Seorabeol University participates in nearby rehabilitation centers for the disabled and events for the disabled every year to show rehabilitation horseback riding activities for social participation.

Ceremony held at the Gyeongju Arts Center in Gyeongsangbuk-do on the 29th. Professor Park, who was appointed in 2011, has contributed greatly to attracting Seorabeol University from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs as an institution to train professionals in the horse industry in 2014, and has devoted himself to research activities to produce professional manpower in the horse industry and develop the horse industry. In addition, he participated in the design and writing of national certificates for rehabilitation horseback riding in Korea, and made efforts to establish a foundation for rehabilitation horse riding in Korea and expand the base.

Thanks to your efforts, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has prepared a budget and business guidelines to implement the student riding support project from January 2018, and as a result, it is very encouraging to increase the utilization rate of the horse racing facility even in winter, the off-season. A new beginning is always full of hope. The newly launched Korea Horse Racing Authority plans to do its best to resolve the livestock industry, the application of electricity for farming in horse racing, and the issue of horseback riding insurance as soon as possible. I think our ability can be doubled when we put it into practice with earnestness.

There are various types of organizations, including related departments and associations, related organizations, and dozens of horse meat restaurants, but they do not gather together and are united. There is also an association of horse racing grounds (Chairman Noh Chul, CEO of OK Ranch), which is unprecedented in the inland, and it is empowering to speak out in one voice. In the background is the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Festival Division (Chukjeong Division chief Cho Deok-joon). Whenever a conference or event is held, he participates in every meeting and serves as a link to lead each organization. He is not just a public official in Jeju Island, sharing affection by mixing Jeju dialect with horse industry officials and connecting necessary parts of each organization, but playing his role as a working-level official together, showing the appearance of an "exemplary public official."

I hope you achieve everything you wish, and I wish everyone in the horse industry a busy and exciting year, especially as the sound of horse hooves shaking the earth and earth vibrates again.Looking back, the past year has been a very difficult and difficult one. The image of the horse industry, including horseback riding, has been greatly undermined, the number of visitors to the horse racing field has decreased, and the number of people visiting the horse racing field has been severely criticized. It is said that risks and opportunities coexist in crises.

Governor Woo Geun-min met with former King Mizan at Hanwha Resort Jeju in Jeju City on the 16th, when the Jeju Open endurance riding competition was held and a symposium was held. Recalling former King Mizan's visit to Malaysia, Governor Woo Geun-min said, "Jeju has been well known to Malaysia due to investment agreements between airline A and group B, and there are nearly 70,000 tourists." He also expressed his expectation for the Jeju Open endurance horse race, saying, "I hope horseback riding will contribute to the revitalization of Jeju tourism." Above all, regarding the Jeju Open endurance horse race, Governor Woo Geun-min introduced the fact that Haya Bint al-Hussein, president of the International Horse Racing Federation, sent a congratulatory message to Park Geun Hye's president, saying, "The government also asked me to send a thank-you message to Haya as the big competition is held in Jeju."

As for the successful French case to be benchmarked, the government led the way in controlling the industry to provide various support and publicity, and quickly established an industrial foundation. In the process, we systematized children's education to increase future demand for consumption, resulting in very satisfactory results. Now, France has gradually shifted to policy management that encourages its own development as the growth of such invested industries has been effective to some extent, and the activities of the organizations in each industry are playing a role in stabilizing and leading the activities of the organizations in each industry.

The horse industry is steadily growing in developed countries. It is changing from an industrial structure that was concentrated in the horse racing industry in the past to a leisure sport centered on youth and family through horseback riding. This is an industrial activity that helps livestock farmers generate income, and a movement that conveys health to the public. Therefore, I am confident that it will ultimately establish an important position in the Korean livestock industry in the future. To that end, we need to develop a system and build a control tower that will foster experts and streamline management, and the main goal is to revitalize future consumer youth horseback riding that will increase demand.

Perhaps that's why there were heated candlelight vigils and major changes in the country. Unfortunately, horseback riding, among other things in the Korean horse industry, was at the center of the news and delivered bad images of horseback riding every day. An incident caused tremendous damage to the entire horse industry, which forced many people, including myself, who ran the actual horse racing course, to overcome very difficult times. The first comprehensive plan for the horse industry came as an unforeseen moment for the Korean horse industry, which was growing rapidly, but in some ways, I think it provided an opportunity to publicize the unfamiliar area of horseback riding to the public.

Only then will the demand for the production of horseback riding be activated and will it lead to the generation of profits for members of professional horseback riding producers. If the Producers Association is activated, the development and production of excellent Korean-style passenger horses will be carried out naturally, and the livestock farming policy originally intended by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs will be successful. Finally, I wish the Korean horse-related business organizations and workers a hopeful and blessed New Year, and I will end the New Year's greeting.

Food and Rural Affairs at the Korea Horse Producers Association is that if the first horse industry plan was quantitative growth, I hope the second horse industry plan will develop in the direction of qualitative growth. Seven years have passed since the world's only horse industry promotion law was enacted and implemented, but the most important agricultural law revision in the horseback riding sector has not been made. In order to install rural horse riding facilities, existing farmland must be converted into sports land, but excessive farmland conversion charges are a big burden. To improve the reality that many rural horse riding facilities are currently operating without permission and without permission,

We have been collecting public opinion regarding the announcement of the park-type over-the-counter sales office of the Korea Racing Authority since the business plan of private investment companies was received on November 25th," and added, "We have sent an official letter requesting consultation on the situation and KRA's policy after the deadline for accepting the public offering on November 29th." Mayor Lee also explained in his response, "If KRA's park-type over-the-counter sales office is attracted and operated within the Suanbo Special Tourist Zone, tax revenue is estimated to reach 2.5 billion won per year with collection grants and financial reserves," and added, "We will do our best in the process of consultation between North Chungcheong Province and Chungju City so that a large amount of leisure tax attributed to North Chungcheong Province is reinvested in the Suanbo area, the location of the park-type over-the-counter sales office, for a certain period of time."

Lee Joon-young, weekly of the Horse Industry Journal, said, "I honestly wish that the KRA had a deeper understanding of the functions and roles of the horse culture complex leisure center in Chungju, which is expected to be equipped with space such as a park-type outdoor sales center, a horseback riding experience center, a rehabilitation horse racing course, and a multi-purpose rally facility, before discussing the pros and cons of the horse culture complex leisure center in Chungju, which was proposed to be equipped with space, and as a horse racing implementer, it is regrettable that the KRA has recently been designated as an institution dedicated to fostering the horse industry and as an institution to cultivate professional manpower related to the horse industry, which has become more responsible."

In particular, it was a year that caused even more damage to the operators of horse racing courses across the country in difficult conditions due to some kind of incidents, such as Choi Soon-sil's manipulation of state affairs, which made the public aware of the bad image of the horse racing sector, and Jeong Yu-ra's horse riding privileges. In addition, it was a disappointing and regrettable year for professional horse racing producers and horse breeding farmers.Historically, the year of martial arts is a year when eventful events are completed and combined. It is called the Year of the Golden Dog!! It is a auspicious year because it is the year when soil meets and soil with large amounts of alcohol like Mount Musan.

In addition, in order to promote the distribution of high-quality and ethical livestock products, we will expand the certification of welfare farms to implement an animal welfare certification system that consumers trust and animals are happy, and consider the establishment of a special judicial police to strengthen animal protection functions and revitalize the animal registration system. We will do our best to implement One Welfare with the welfare of animals and people by strengthening cooperation with related organizations such as local governments. I hope that the new year of martial arts will be a year to achieve your dream.
