horse riding

Horse riding is a big hurdle, but I still want to interact with horses...
This horse-drawn plan is recommended for people like you and children!
The instructor will hold the reins and lead you around the arena.
You can safely enjoy the swaying of the horse's back and the scenery from a different perspective than usual.

There are also parent-child horseback rides where parents and children can ride together.
Enjoy the ride together.
*Depending on your age, you may not be able to ride.

Complete beginners and those who only ride horses once or twice a year can enjoy these lessons.
The lecture will cover how to use the reins, how to control speed, how to balance, and more while actually riding a horse.
Through this lesson, you will be able to communicate directly with your horse and practice and enjoy moving it according to your will.

For those with horse riding experience who want to take their riding to the next level, there are intermediate and advanced lessons available.
For those who want to gallop outside or want to communicate more clearly with their horse,
I hope that through this lesson you will gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a horse.
Of course, if you let our staff know what you want, we can provide you with lessons that suit your needs.
In addition to riding lessons, if you are interested in total horse handling, such as brushing and saddling,
Please feel free to contact us.
