In particular, the horse racing industry around the world is in need of many changes and innovations as it enters a recession, and Korean horse racing has also faced an era of transformation.The development of the horse industry begins with the horse racing industry, which is the lifeline. In order for the horse industry to become a new growth engine in the rural economy, it is obvious that the vitalization of the horse racing industry is the driving force. Real innovation begins with communication and sharing.

However, despite unfavorable conditions, our horse racers have begun to run for change and innovation with the interest and support of the horse racing fans. Korea Racing Authority, which has embarked on a journey of great challenges to advancement and internationalization of horse racing, has made a leap as a part II country since July 2016, and has proudly entered the Dubai World Cup last year and this year to stand on par with the world. Along with the innovation of horse racing, we were able to achieve positive results for the horse racing industry, including the export of horse racing and the export of race broadcasting.

Jang Byung-woon, head of the Korea Racing Association's race system transition TF team, explained the change in handicap racing following the introduction of the rating, saying, "We will announce the preliminary announcement of the rating from the first team handicap race in October this year and the adjustment of the rating immediately after the race." Team leader Jang said that the pre-announcement of the rating will make the weight of handicap between registered horses predictable, and that the rating itself is a quantification of the difference in race horse capabilities.Pukyong police officers were inundated with questions about the handicap race implementation plan based on ratings, with many asking if they could guarantee the objectivity and professionalism of handicappers. In response, team leader Jang Byung-woon stressed that all handicappers are doing their best, saying that ratings will be given based on objective facts such as race records and distance differences between race horses.

Lastly, I hope that the news of the production farm will be communicated through racing media. The Hallama Producers Association will also try to promote the situation and activities of the association and production farmers through racing media. 2018 marks the 20th anniversary of racing media, and it is the first year that "Hallama", a passenger horse brand of the Hallama Producers Association, will be launched as a pedigree. I hope that the 20th anniversary of the founding of racing media in 2018 will also be accompanied by the Hallama Producers Association's launch event.

The pedigree changes in three years, so you have to study endlessly. "All parents of Surabret are of a prestigious family. A horse runs to survive." Shin Young-in, head of the Martha's Team at the Seoul Riding Association, introduced markets according to the rules and countries based on the experience of the Seoul Riding Association regarding the purchase of foreign horses, while recommending markets suitable for the reality of Korean racing and changes in the market due to future policy changes. Shin also advised, "When choosing a horse at a foreign horse auction, you should choose one that is suitable for the domestic environment, rather than placing importance on the completion of the horse or the lineage." He also presented tips for efficient auction participation, the main points for observing bridging-ups, the main points for the horse body test, and the main points for the asking price through the experience in real situations, which were well received.

Secondly, racing media's racing means racing and horse racing, so there is a concern that racing media's reports and materials will focus only on horse racing. When we start talking about horses in the current Korean society, it is virtually true that we think of horse racing first. However, horse racing has a limited number of people who enjoy it, and concerns about its gambling have also been raised. Therefore, we ask you to introduce more articles on horse racing, which can expand the breadth of people who enjoy horses indefinitely. From the standpoint of a horse producer, it is meaningful to sell or rent a horse for a high price,

The Hanram Producers Association is an association of production farmers that produce horses in Jeju. Born with the sound of a horse crying, I also rode a horse first before I learned how to walk, and I have lived raising horses all my life. As a horse breeder, I would like to congratulate the chairman of the Producers Association and ask for his words. First of all, racing media means mediation and broadcasting. I hope that it will be a good communication channel between horses and humans, those who know horses, those who don't know horses, those who don't ride horses, those who don't ride horses, those who race horses and those who don't race horses.

Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, to take the reins once again and work together to pave the way for a new leap forward so that the horse industry, including horse racing, can establish itself as a new growth engine as soon as possible. The management difficulties of inland racehorse producers are also more serious than ever. The liberalization of imports of foreign horses has reduced the purchasing power of domestic horses, and the auction market is still cold. It is urgent to revitalize auctions organized by credible associations to ensure transparency in the distribution structure of racehorses and to form a fair market value for racehorses between many sellers and buyers.

Despite the efforts of the horse racing community, various regulations that are not seen in other horse racing countries are pouring out. This is a concern as it is weakening the horse racing community's efforts to advance horse racing. In addition, the Korean Horse Association's ambitious innovation plan for change and reform is also hampering the development of horse racing. The horse racing community should also join forces to cope with this, and the Horse Racing Culture Newspaper should take the lead in creating a healthy advanced horse racing by gathering correct public opinion and presenting a future-oriented mature vision.

It said it will establish a basic plan by the end of August and reflect the results of overseas case investigations, and then finalize the innovation plan for over-the-counter sales office after consultation with related agencies such as the Enforcement Industry Integration Supervision Committee and the Korea Racing Authority. Although the government has actively intervened, Prime Minister Chung Hong-won has stepped up to resolve social conflicts related to the over-the-counter sales office in Yongsan, the response from the opposition committee is still cold. The opposition committee expressed distrust that it is trying to give indulgence to the Horse Association in connection with Prime Minister Chung's order to come up with measures.

From the fall semester of this year, Sejong University Graduate School of Industrial Science will open a master's course in the horse industry for the first time in Korea. I ask many horse industry officials to be interested and participate. I think it will be of great help to the development of the horse industry if experts in master's programs are produced due to the active support of the horse industry. I ask for your interest and participation once again. Professor Kim Hak-shin of Sejong University Graduate School of Industrial Science says that for the development of the horse industry, the number of experts in the field must increase.

If these people fall into horseback riding, they can contribute to the development of horseback riding in the form of sponsorship. In the case of grassroots horse riding competitions promoted by the Korean Horse Racing Association, the purpose is also good, so if you attract businessmen, you can naturally have a sponsorship to promote your company. In addition, training, field trips, and programs for businessmen in places like the Korean Horse Racing Association's Let's Run Farm Jangsu or the external riding course of each local government will be very popular. And they can not only expand the base of horseback riding but also return to reinvestment for the industry.

Just as entrepreneurs contributed to the revitalization of golf, entrepreneurs must lead in order to revitalize the consumption culture of horseback riding. It is regrettable that the horse industry is not interested in the riding culture CEO course, which consists of such opinion leaders. It would be nice to encourage and support each other for the development of the horse industry. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has always said through external business reports or business plans that programs are needed to develop and revitalize horseback riding, and that development should be promoted. For a while, I've been expressing such opinions and proposing businesses,

You can't do everything, so you have to find something special. You can utilize your local natural environment or combine tourism and cultural factors such as local agricultural products. Of course, I know there are some difficulties. Still, in order to overcome difficulties in the long run, we need to break away from the existing method and focus on customers. I am not an expert or employee in the horse industry, but I listened attentively to people outside the horse industry while I was working as a CEO. It would be embarrassing to say that you are a quasi-professional. As I went around the field as a professor so that students can take horse riding classes safely and properly, I learned it little by little.

Rather, you should have basic facilities such as changing rooms and showers, and adjust them one by one through a facility or movement line that allows you to see the accompanying people riding. This point is widely utilized in golf, which is called a nearby leisure sport. In the past, golf instructors who taught golf were professional players, pushing and teaching golf customers. However, as golf became increasingly popular and widespread, the golf market grew and competition began. In addition, as consumers' understanding of golf has improved, the industry has now changed more customer-oriented than named.

For example, in the course of learning history, you study laws related to the horse industry, and in the course of studying the history, you learn the culture and history of the horse industry as a whole. It is conducted as a remote class through the Internet. You can easily receive education anytime, anywhere beyond time and space. Whether you are abroad or in the region, if you are willing, you can learn enough. If you want to learn the Korean language industry abroad, such as in China and Southeast Asia, you are not constrained by the conditions of the space.

Leaders are all athletes and instructors. Those who will manage are essential. Each person's expertise can be further enhanced through in-depth classes in the master's course, and after graduation, they can be used in the front line based on what they have learned. Market analysis specialized in the 'horse industry', identification of consumer behavior, and various marketing and services will be useful in the field. Perhaps in the future, graduate school graduates will play a role in leading and leading the horse industry. Of course not me. I will invite the best people in the horse industry to teach. Someone with both skills and recognition.

Kwak Chil-sun, vice principal of the Hangil Information and Communication School, said, "The KRA Korean Horse Racing Association and the Ministry of Justice have been sponsoring horse-riding programs for juvenile students since three to four years ago. There are 22 students who are supported over three periods of two times a week, and there is nothing like horse-riding in psychological treatment and character education."

The major of horse industry management encompasses not only professional physical education and daily sports but also various fields such as rehabilitation, facilities, supplies, fashion, and tourism. In addition to marketing, rehabilitation training using services and medicine will be conducted with the focus on horses. As the number of applicants for the major in horse industry management increases, the number of subjects tailored to the major will also increase. Through education, we will further systematize and specialize in the horse industry. Since it is our first major opening, it is not easy to open it too much.
