Going forward, the 2nd Comprehensive Plan will expand public equestrian facilities and experience riding programs that take into consideration low-income groups and socially vulnerable people. A large public equestrian center will be built near the city center so that socially disadvantaged groups who cannot access the horse industry can use it. We are making every effort to transform it into an affordable and easily accessible facility that anyone in the country can enjoy.Improving promotional awareness is a very important part.

Until now, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism handled the horse industry through equestrian sports, but with the enactment of the Horse Industry Promotion Act in 2011, the promotion and support of the horse industry became the responsibility of our Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. A new system and a new paradigm were created to revitalize the rural economy and improve the quality of life for the people. Although there has also been recent state affairs manipulation, even if there is little direct connection on the ground,

Since the part of equestrianism as a sport before that has been transferred to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Livestock, it must be integrated with the livestock and agriculture sectors, and the horse industry should contribute to the development of agriculture. To achieve that, there must be sufficient coordination not only with the existing Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs but also with other ministries, yet there are some gaps. I think the lack of such coordination causes many problems in implementation and is something that needs to be addressed.

For now, legal harmony is still needed.Currently, an important aspect of the horse industry is the issue of use and training. There are aspects that can be handled with a riding horse, and the retired racehorses that come out every year—about 1,200 in total—also need to be well trained, but the training system has been lacking until now. In a way, I also think training was difficult, so there were parts where systematic development was not achieved. Retired racehorses that can be trained are actively being trained through the establishment of a systematic training system, and where necessary,

Although these issues have been sidelined recently due to many pressing matters within the Livestock Bureau, such as drought and avian influenza, I think we should hold another on-site discussion once these problems are resolved.The livestock industry is fundamentally aimed at reliably supplying safe livestock-derived food to the public. In contrast, the horse industry aims to improve the quality of life for the people by properly training and utilizing horses. The laws are different. As a result, this problem itself became a burden.

Now in his third year in office, he said that although he has so far taken a field-oriented approach, he still feels regret over not being able to resolve many pressing issues, and that he will strive to address them.It has already been three years since I was assigned to the horse industry department. The official name of the department in charge is the "Masa Division," and it handles a wide variety of tasks. First, in addition to establishing and supporting a comprehensive plan for fostering the horse industry,

If a few more people like Representative Kim Moon-young come forward, I believe our language industry can develop through constructive criticism and advice.I hope readers will also join in doing what they do best so that specialized media in the horse industry can continue to develop. I hope the Korea Racing Authority also appoints experts as members of various committees so that they can hear opinions on the direction of industry development.We started as the only specialized media outlet for the horse industry in our country,

Otherwise, it could flow into the underground economy and illegal gambling.For the horse industry to develop, the horse racing industry must develop first. Even looking at other countries, the horse racing industry cannot develop through control or regulation. It should be supported through policy, but since it is only controlled and regulated, it has changed very much from the original purpose of its establishment. We need to establish measures such as removing purchase price caps and cracking down on illegal underground betting, and from the profits generated, pay taxes

Due to insufficient practical support, we faced operational difficulties and underwent restructuring, but the situation is still difficult.Since I took office, we’ve been holding general meetings in the Korea Racing Authority auditorium, eating in the company cafeteria to save costs, and turning it into a culture of getting a glimpse of my former workplace.Other alumni associations usually have a hall. Retirees gather there to eat together and play long-term Go, using it as a place for fellowship, and I hope there will be a space like this in our Masa Alumni Association as well.

What is especially admirable is that, through foreign materials, studying abroad, and business trips, we learned systems that cannot be found anywhere else in our country, laying the foundation for the development of the horse racing industry.Where foreign horses made up the majority before, we have now institutionalized the system so that domestic horses account for more than 70%, and we have worked to promote Korea’s level of horse racing to the world by holding the

Even though it wasn’t a part state, I think the juniors worked very hard and feel proud that, after going through Part 3 and becoming a Part 2 state, the status of Korean horse racing was elevated.What’s disappointing is that the horse racing industry itself has no connection to general society and has few related industries, so here I am an expert, but if I quit, there will be nothing left for me to do. I see it as a major problem. I hope the horse industry itself becomes firmly established.

Rehabilitation horseback riding needs to be promoted, but there are limitations, which is regrettable. Also, in my view, it is appropriate to introduce health insurance for therapeutic riding. Physical therapy is allowed, and it makes no sense that horseback riding rehabilitation through verbal instruction is not covered by health insurance. While preparing my master’s thesis, I learned for the first time that Italy has health insurance, but it is unfortunate that it is not yet available under our circumstances.

He also promoted a nationwide horse-riding campaign, encouraged executives to ride horses, and gathered information on the status of riding centers across the country, thereby spreading a nationwide horse-riding boom. I hope the policy continues to be inherited and developed, but there is some regret that its form has since changed or been altered.The Korea Racing Authority should run a horseback riding healing center and a program that can provide therapeutic treatment through horses for people with disabilities.

Personally, I was born in the Year of the Horse.It’s as if the horse-born came to the horse company. It is also a great honor for me to have joined as a high school graduate employee, attended both university and graduate school, and even served as vice president.I served as the head of the Healing Center for three years and eight months, and since January 2016 have been active as president of the Masadong Alumni Association, spending about 40 years in the horse industry.We are married, and our children have grown up;

Rather, it will be not the development of horse racing, but the regression of stepping back. Rather than direct employment, I think efforts are needed to make up for the shortcomings by referring to the institutional system currently implemented in Let's Run Park Seoul. They say that their minds should change first rather than roles. Although they have invested, there are many faces who want to make a profit right away by watching over a certain period of time. Those thoughts are wrong. A lot of improvement is needed. Horse racing development means that the horse society will eventually grow with the national growth, and the Korean horse racing will go to the G1 and G2 advanced horse racing.

However, it is not necessarily the only way to learn how to ride horses. Not many of the athletes who are famous in foreign countries have actually succeeded because they are rich. Everyone works hard to learn and continues to develop their talents. In the process, you build up your skills and meet a good sponsor and bring good results. There are only a few top players who succeed with their financial resources. It's not always about buying good horses. The Hanova Horse Racing Authority is a horse-riding center that horses like more than people. People may not like it a little because it's a little far away, but horses feel comfortable.

First of all, getting a ticket to the Olympics was difficult, but the process of getting a ticket to the Olympics was also difficult. This is because we had to perform well at a number of Grand Prix events rather than performing well in one or two events. Perhaps this is why the athletes training together for the Olympics at the time wondered if advancing to the Olympics could become a reality. The coaches, coaches, and sponsors must have felt the same way at the time. The wall of the world was too high, and Korean horseback riding was far behind him. Going to the Olympics was originally a dream because horseback riding was not only in good condition,

Some went in psychoanalytically and looked at my painting and said, "Libido." After hearing that interpretation, I found it interesting when people asked me why I'm drawing horses later, and they answered me like that. In fact, I was thinking about how to put natural energy into the indoor space and relieve the tension caused by it. You don't deserve to ride a horse called Jeong Yu. It is questionable whether you will feel the mental vitality of a horse even if you ride a horse. Since I've been riding a lot, I think I can feel the fun of riding a horse and know what riding a horse is, but I don't think I'll be impressed and grateful by the horse.

Previously, it was just a cafe, but the walls were opened and widened for a little to display the paintings. I thought that would be more colorful. I simply drew it because I liked the animal, but there are people who attach interpretations to it. I just drew it because I wanted to attract 'wild' and 'the power of nature'. There are many paintings of horses running in the field. It is the same for ancient books and foreign paintings. In particular, oriental painting draws many horses running in the field. However, it was not fun to draw horses running in the same field. Horses are animals that like to run in the field and run well, but there was no tension and nothing much when they were flattened on the painting in one dimension.

We should be able to maintain a minimum life through work activities, but we try to forget about pure literature and not think about it. The Shin Kyung-sook writer scandal is also an extension of this problem. It was not a completely pure literature nor a public one, but it was urgent and caused a division. And few writers are now popular in books. Like in the old days. "A Horse Outside the Door" depicts a horse coming from outside the door facing a woman. Lee Je-ha said the work could contain a message of returning to nature, and it was intended to express a strange feeling when heterogeneous beings face each other due to the appearance of both female and male horses.

Korea's culture is a big problem. People engaged in the cultural sector should be able to live by doing cultural work, but that is not possible. Painters live a normal life by drawing and selling. However, in a transitional capital society, it is difficult. Few artists sell paintings in reality. Popular artists, famous senior artists, and the works of the deceased are sold, but those of young artists are not. Culture is generally difficult. The Moon Jae In government seems to be paying attention to culture, but it still lacks a lot. Even looking at the data on the income level of cultural workers posted on the Internet, the annual income is less than 10 million won.

That's why I started literature. Originally, I wrote poetry in middle school. At that time, there was a magazine called 'academy', and it was the only magazine during the Korean War. Poets were published through 'academy', and they were elected in one or two places. Hwang Dong-gyu and Ma Jong-ki, who are poets, are alumni who were active through 'academy'. As I did this and that for my life, novels became my main focus. But now, people don't read novels, so I don't write them well. People don't read books, so they don't sell and the publishing industry is in recession. When I was young, I used to write with passion and willpower, but the problem is that books are not sold, so they are not helpful to life at all.

Novel manuscript fees are poor, so manuscript fees alone cannot make a living. For such reasons, not only me but also many writers have side jobs, such as attending school to give lectures or serving as an editor of a publishing company. I wrote novels, did this and that, and worked in the movie industry. As I loved movies so much, I started collecting videos, but as it became known, a media company asked me for a "movie column." I had to write a story about what I saw in the movie, but it was much easier than writing a novel. After writing a novel like that, I wrote a movie column for 2-3 years.

October, when autumn leaves start to turn red, is the most emotional time of the year. A collection of poems can be found on the empty side behind the colorful fall scenery. In October, the month of culture, we prepared a project to listen to stories of artists dealing with culture and art works based on horses. First of all, we met Lee Je-ha, a veteran novelist, poet, painter and singer. Unlike other works, he often uses horses, but he uses static words rather than words. I tried to shed new light on the words that he viewed through his creative activities in all areas, including literature and art.

Horse Association by communicating with the media and the public while promoting the human resources development team, the head of the cultural empathy center, and the new business project. When he served as the head of the human resources development team in 2008, he introduced the transparent and dynamic public enterprise awards of the Korean Horse Association to the public through interviews with employment-related media, and when he served as the head of the Siheung Cultural Sympathy Center in 2011, he played a first-generation role in actively promoting the social contribution project of the "market sales office" through media interviews such as local newspapers and magazines.
