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.

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
