May all your wishes come true, and especially may the sound of horses’ hooves, shaking the earth and shaking the heavens, once again resonate through the world, making this a busy and exciting year for everyone working in the horse industry.Looking back, the past year was a very hard and difficult one. We endured the pain of our hard-earned achievements collapsing overnight, and in particular,the image of the horse industry,including equestrianism,was severely tarnished,

In addition, we must spare no investment or effort in training and supporting horse producers in preparation for times when demand will increaseLooking at France as a successful case for benchmarking, the government took the lead in controlling the industry, provided various forms of support and promotion, and rapidly built the industrial foundation. In the process, we systematized children’s education to increase future consumer demand, and it also produced very satisfactory results.

The horse industry is an industry that has been steadily growing in advanced countries. It is shifting from an industry structure heavily focused on horse racing to a leisure sport centered on youth and families through equestrian activities. This is an industrial activity that helps increase the income of livestock farmers, while also being a movement that promotes soundness to the public. Therefore, I am confident that, ultimately, it will secure an important place in the future of South Korea’s livestock industry.

As a result, more and more people are quitting matchmaking. The Korea Racing Authority is neglecting this situation, which I believe is a crisis for horse racing. How can supply and demand for horses be ensured when the owners’ willingness to purchase is declining. Since 2005, the replacement speed of the face has become incredibly fast. Living face-to-face without even knowing each other’s faces, they leave before even understanding what is fun about horse racing or why it is a sport worth their interest. If the owners’ willingness to purchase declines later, the development of horse racing will face difficulties from the very beginning.You need to have some leeway starting with the prize money. There is a clear reason for this: although our country has a production market, the conditions for the people facing it are extremely poor.

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 the country have a hopeful and blessed New Year,

As a result of the draw, signs of interference through organized collusion were detected in the three races, and since this was deemed fatal to fairness—the very lifeblood of sports—it was unavoidable to cancel those three races. In the subsequent registration and application for participation in the second week of February, there was no such collusion, so the horse racing was conducted normally.Until the day the “Incomplete Life” innovation plan is “fully realized,” the Korea Racing Authority will, with principle and patience, work together with all stakeholders through the “Horse Racing Industry Crisis Overcoming Council” and, in unity with related organizations, communicate and consult continuously.

First of all, not only was there a lack of support for the association to carry out any projects, but there were also difficulties in communication. Jeju horses pay 100,000 won each time a horse is born as funds for breeding, but Halla horses have none of that. Although it is not a large amount, providing support such as speaking funds to producers would likely receive a positive response.Can’t the central or local government provide support just because they don’t have 500 million won in the budget.

Next year, just like this year, we plan to focus on establishing the pedigree and move forward in earnest. We are currently preparing to open a call for operators of a horse training hub center within the Jeju Livestock Promotion Institute, and if we can secure one, it is expected to accelerate the establishment of Hallama’s pedigree. We have already secured two trainers, and we plan to prepare thoroughly in accordance with the recruitment guidelines.In addition, a nationwide equestrian competition featuring Hanlima will also be held.

As a result, the timing of the tournament was also somewhat delayed, and it ended up being held in two separate sessions. Even when holding a competition, there can be differences in thinking among people, and in that process, misunderstandings can arise. The second round of the competition was the result of applying to the Korea Racing Authority’s call for additional selections for recipients of the horse industry development support project held last November. It will be held under the same rules and format as the first tournament.

My classmates’ skills are improving, but I came from riding horses in high school, so I have my own way of doing things. I changed my horse-riding posture and thought again whether this was right, but my classmates were learning in a beautiful posture for the first time, so I could see their skills gradually improving, and I felt like I had become stagnant. This was the hardest.At Korea Masago High School, there are so many students that they attend classes in groups. I'm the type who only improves when

For the Level 2 Recreational Sports Instructor exam, there was an obstacle course in the practical test section, so before the exam, I stayed up early in the morning or late at night and practiced obstacle courses with Professor Chu Hoo-geun. In training, because racing and horseback riding were difficult, I went out early in the morning and stayed at school on weekends to practice. It was the hardest while preparing for the training course.Rehabilitation horseback riding was an area I was interested in when I enrolled.

I believe that being the head of an association is not a position of exercising authority, but one of serving. Rather than leading with leadership, my goal is to find the glue that brings the whole together and connect it well for the sake of integration. I think that glue is horse racing. No matter how old a friend is, if there is no shared interest, it will quickly become awkward and distant. But if there is a common denominator, even someone you just met will soon open your heart and hold your hand. We share a common interest in horse racing. If we can simply discover the fun of horse racing, even if it doesn’t lead us to golf or other outward pursuits, I believe we can still connect deeply.

Riding the horse was fun too, and there was no major difficulty.I liked sports, so I wanted to go to a physical education university to become a physical education teacher. I got injured on the day I was taking the practical exam for the physical education college entrance exam, so I decided to retake it. While retaking the exam, my father advised me again, “Since you learned horseback riding in high school, try riding again even on the weekend.” Starting horseback riding again was so much fun,

We will work to secure sovereignty over animal vaccines as early as possible by advancing foot-and-mouth disease vaccine manufacturing technology and establishing an AI antigen bank. In addition, we will contribute to increasing farm household income by developing vaccines to reduce consumptive diseases such as porcine epidemic diarrhea, which are major causes of decreased productivity in livestock farms. We will also actively support the development of stem cell therapies,

In the field of plant quarantine, we will establish a comprehensive safety management system that goes beyond border-centered quarantine to include the safety management of pests, diseases, and LMOs both overseas, at the border, and domestically. For high-risk reforestation plants, we will develop measures that allow their import only after the other country has reduced the risk of pests and diseases, and for imported plants, we will conduct risk reassessments by entry route and by item, and for those with high pest and disease risk,

National Standard Quarantine and Inspection Agency, the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency will, throughout this year, ensure that all staff work as one and fulfill their role as vigilant guardians defending the risks of livestock diseases and plant pests and diseases at the very front lines.To this end, the Quarantine Agency aims to establish and focus on four core tasks based on the core values of One Health, field-oriented, communication and cooperation, future-oriented response,

General Conference in Songdo, Incheon, last April with the participation of about 360 national representatives from the global plant quarantine sector representing 120 countries, it also provided an opportunity to enhance its international standing as a leading country in the field of plant quarantine.To promote the development of the veterinary pharmaceutical industry, various communication channels were established, including on-site meetings, workshops, and the regular operation of mobile civil complaint consultation centers,

The committee was originally scheduled to pass a policy to implement electronic cards, but it reportedly failed to do so as lawmakers raised concerns not only about human rights violations but also about side effects such as a crisis in related industries and a shortage of tax revenue.The Board of Audit and Inspection’s full implementation plan for electronic cards is a legal system that requires individuals to load funds onto cards containing their personal information and use them when participating in all legal gambling industries, including horse racing, bicycle racing, motorboat racing, casinos, lotteries, and professional sports, as well as sports promotion lottery tickets (Sports Toto). Once the electronic card is introduced, users of the gambling industry will have to obtain a card, load cash onto it, and place bets instead of using the current cash purchase method, and the card issuance process is designed to recognize fingerprints (vein patterns).

However, the current problem with the Korea Association of the Deaf is that many have not fully realized this joy and, having only seen some superficial aspects, feel a sense of disconnect or turn away. If communication between the existing owners and the new owners continues and people come to realize the true joy of horse racing, the atmosphere will be distinctly different from what it is now. I think it may naturally transform into a strong, empowered community.Our country’s Maju is by no means as honorable as Britain’s, nor is it supported by the economic security backing it as the United States does, with its strong feedback mechanism. The beginning of horse racing is when the owner buys a horse, but under the current circumstances, except for a few parts, it returns to a system that is completely unsatisfactory, and interest begins to wane.

However, driven by a sense of duty to eradicate it as quickly as possible, we have devoted ourselves to preventing further spread of the disease and bringing it to an early end through prompt and thorough testing and epidemiological investigations.And on September 28, after the discovery of imported red imported fire ants through a preliminary inspection at the container yard of Gamman Pier in Busan Port, all available personnel were mobilized to strengthen quarantine and surveillance at major ports.

We also contributed to the early eradication of foot-and-mouth disease by being the first in the world to develop and apply a simple antigen diagnostic kit for the three serotypes of foot-and-mouth disease in the field.In addition, in August, through a reorganization of the quarantine organization, the Quarantine Surveillance Division and the Avian Influenza Research and Diagnostic Division were newly established to oversee livestock quarantine
