He also suggested that a strategy to reduce demand for the illegal market is needed by overhauling the illegal private horse racing crackdown system and publicizing it to the public. Professor Choi Yong-sun pointed out the problems of the current leisure tax and income tax task structure through a theme presentation on "How to secure funds for fostering the horse industry." In particular, he argued that leisure tax should be imposed fairly on other speculative industries along with a minimum 2 percent cut in the leisure tax rate for horse tickets, and that leisure tax for over-the-counter sales should be converted from the provincial tax to the city and county tax system to improve the cost and convenience of basic local governments through the smooth installation and stable operation of over-the-counter sales offices, and that the environment around over-the-counter sales offices should be improved.

When it comes to sports, we focus only on making athletes, but don't foreigners study and ride horses together? Process is important in the field, but we value only the results. I want to continue the process and outcome, a mixture of software and hardware.My son, who studied in the U.K. for 10 years, has changed his job and is now cleaning up his horse. Last year, he also completed a 40-80-km endurance competition. He is set to participate in the CSI one-star competition in Malaysia on March 4 for the first time as an individual player. The association and the horseradish society need to nurture and support athletes, but Korea cannot even host an international competition.

Kim argued that the Park Geun-hye administration would be most effective in securing tax revenues by cultivating the underground economy without increasing taxes, although there are many ways to implement welfare policies worth 100 trillion won. He said that illegal activities among underground economies range from 53 trillion won to 88 trillion won, although they vary depending on the investigating agency, stressing that more effective welfare policies can be implemented if only these funds are nurtured and taxed. It also strongly demanded that the role and function of the Audit Committee under the Audit Committee Act be completely transformed from a legal enforcement industry regulation to an illegal enforcement regulation body in order to eradicate illegal activities. At the same time, the government declared a full-scale war on illegal activities and urged all-out efforts to eradicate them.

I hope that the horse industry journal will develop well and be reborn as an established journal. As a media specializing in the horse industry, I hope it will set a direction for the proper development of the horse industry. Rather than immediate budget allocation, the government should suggest a big way for the horse industry. Then, ordinary businesses will follow it for profit, and as they follow, a situation where the horse industry will grow can be created. Lee Kwang-seop, CEO of Mirinae Horseback-riding Club, said that when we teach our children how to ride horses, we feel that the genes of the horseback riding people are alive. He also emphasized that the key to revitalizing youth horseback riding is the adoption of elementary and secondary subjects.

We need to make use of this. It is not possible to keep the old roads alive, but similarly, we can modernize Yeokcham and use it as a horseback-riding leisure center. Here, farming and fishing villages form cooperatives, and the government can support and build a massage here. Of course, the road connecting Yeokcham and Yeokcham is the rice bowl of the farming and fishing villages, so you have to clean up and manage the horse poop yourself. The rural horse-riding grounds that produce horses should be centered on simple experiences, and the leisure should go to the horseback-riding leisure trekking course. There are rest areas and accommodation facilities where you can relax, and there are local agricultural stores, and it can be a space that blends well with the horse industry and rural areas.

The horse racing industry, which had to deal with the intensive checks and regulations of the audit committee, suffered the irony of not receiving incentives for the regulation of total quantity as it was only grade B in last year's consolidation evaluation, despite the rise in total sales of Lottery and Sports Toto, which violated sales regulations every year. Some complain that the audit committee's regulation of total quantity is not functioning properly. This is because, despite not complying with the total amount, there is irrationality based on the previous year's sales on the basis of total quantity. The regulation under the guise of the audit committee's legal supervision of the gambling industry is causing problems on rooftops and even favoritism in some gambling industries. In order to correct this, it seems that the audit committee should focus on eradicating illegal gambling, not the legal gambling industry.

In particular, there is no way for this year's horse racing society to expand sales by adjusting the number of races or horse racing days in the second half of the year, as it increased the number of races as much as possible to boost sales in the second half of the year. In addition, if the number of horse racing fans continues to decline, it will be difficult to prevent sales from falling even if groundbreaking efforts by horse racing organizations or horse racing-related organizations come out. Meanwhile, the total sales of the horse racing industry this year was set at 8.87 trillion won, down 700 billion won from last year. The horse racing industry, which has recorded an unwanted shortfall in sales for four years, was set at 8.77 trillion won last year, higher than other gambling companies, but it barely exceeded 8 trillion won last year, showing a decrease in total sales this year based on last year's sales.

Some of the funds spent by the Korean Horse Racing Association for the development of horseback riding are supported by each city and provincial office of education so that principals and teachers can learn horseback riding and think that it will be effective for children. Last year, our horseback riding course also held a grassroots horse riding competition with the support of the Korean Horse Racing Association, and it is necessary to continuously expand support for horse riding competitions in each region. It is to develop into a local festival through local horse riding competitions. Children who participate in horse riding competitions will show off their skills and attend from parents to grandparents to see their children,

The decrease in 2013 sales of the Korea Racing Authority, which has been underperforming in total sales for the fourth year, was found to be due to the lowest point in over-the-counter sales offices and system compliance and improvement performance in the sound evaluation of the Enforcement Industry Integration Supervision Committee. At the end of March, the audit committee set the total sales of this year's horse racing industry at 8.87 trillion won, down 700 billion won from last year. The horse racing industry, which has recorded an unwanted shortfall in sales for four years, was set at 8.77 trillion won last year, higher than other gambling companies, but it barely exceeded 8 trillion won last year, showing a decrease in total sales this year based on last year's sales.

Equestrianism will not be as easy as that. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and the Korean Horse Racing Association should lead the way and present research data on character education and physical development. We need to prove and inform that children get really better when they ride horses. The best target will be the first grade of middle school or the sixth grade of elementary school. An MOU is signed with a local education office, and students in the area should ride horses for at least two hours a week for a year. There are statistics on educational indicators for each education office, and we should strive for publicity through materials such as how much our body grows when we ride

Direct financial support has its limits. If the government's support is to pour water for priming, it is now necessary to pour water in the right place. For the effect to be achieved by providing 40 million won and reaching 400, 4, and 40 billion won, the government should present a clear vision and induce the front-line sites to move accordingly. vague candy applications are not enough. It never means that they will survive by drinking water from the front-line horse racing grounds. The government should present a vision, and at the front-line horse racing grounds, we should devise and work accordingly to the project to fill it. If you order our children to ride horses, the genes of the horseback riding people are alive. They are clearly different from the Japanese children.

However, there are trials and errors and difficulties because the guidelines have not been established for sure. If you use a comparison to building a highway, in order to build a huge highway, you must draw a big picture, from where to where to put the road, and how many lanes to put it, and design and cultivate each section within that framework to complete the highway. Even though the word 'horse industry' is said, there is no big framework for the route and how to get there. Businessmen refer to the reality today and invest today and wait for the future if they have a vision and desire for the future. On the other hand, no matter how good the reality is today, they do not invest unless they have a vision for the future.

In addition, he advised that for the development of the horse industry, it is necessary to establish a systematic and comprehensive horse industry development plan, resolve low public interest in horses and weak infrastructure, secure sufficient financial resources, and ease regulations on the horse racing industry. He also argued that for the Horse Industry Promotion Act to be effective, it is absolutely necessary to deregulate and ease regulations on the horse racing industry, and that regulations on over-the-counter sales offices and online sales systems should be removed. He also suggested that tickets should be sold together where Sports Toto or lottery tickets are sold. He also said that it is necessary to establish a new legal system that ties the Horse Industry Promotion Act together with the Korean Horse Society Act.

The Korea Sports Promotion Foundation has entrusted Sports Toto to Orion, a private company, since 2003, and Orion has been evaluated as successful in charge of the deficit-ridden Sports Toto business. However, in June last year, when allegations were raised that an Orion Group executive raised a slush fund through Sports Toto, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism pushed for direct management of the corporation on the grounds that it could increase transparency of the business, strengthen publicity and increase the amount of public funds raised. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation argue that private companies aim to generate the largest profits within the contract period, which can worsen fairness with unreasonable profitability-oriented projects, and that failure to pay consignment fees can further raise public funds.

Many changes are already taking place around the world, but Korea's training technology is not keeping up with the trend yet. We must quickly accept advanced technologies in line with the flow of change. I think the most important thing is to introduce and inform new training technologies and methods in Korea. So I'm trying to be interested in that area, and I'm trying to provide the school children with the maximum opportunity to experience the changing training methods every day. I think that's what I should do and I should pay attention to. In addition, I think it should be possible for our students to find employment not only in Korea but also in foreign countries.

First of all, I don't think recruiting members will be a big problem. Whether there are a lot of members at the beginning of the association, I think it will increase as more and more events and businesses are carried out. This is because everyone is interested in training horses. The biggest difficulty is that we must lead the divided horse training field together. At a time when trainers are currently scattered across the country, and horse racing and horseback riding are divided, there is a question of how to unite them. So, in the first year, I will pay great attention to integration and try to come up with a solution. Horseback riding is not divided into horse-riding and horse-riding, but horse-riding is in charge of training,
