Family Travel
All three of us participated! We are a clumsy family and it was hard to handle things well, so we apologize for the inconvenience, but thank you for your kind and careful response! I'd like to come and see Noah, Cindy, and Karen again ^_^ (This review has been machine translated into English) -
Western style?!
On October 25th, I went with four of my usual travel companions. Since we were beginners, they let us have the place to ourselves♪ They said we could come empty-handed. It was also fun to start by trying on our costumes. My first horseback riding experience in a clear autumn sky, dressed in western costumes, was amazing♡ Thank you to all the staff who taught us cheerfully and carefully♡The horses were also very well behaved and we had a great time. Riding was fun - I want to go again (This review has been machine translated into English)

Horseback riding in the snow
I participated with my elementary school and kindergarten children. Elementary school children were allowed to ride alone and were given careful instruction on how to ride. Unlike horseback riding that just goes around the riding arena, they were able to ride out into nature, so it seemed like a really wonderful experience. I'd like to use this again.

First time horse riding
I participated in my first horse riding experience with a friend. It was perfect weather with not a cloud in the sky, and it felt great. I would like to thank the staff for patiently teaching me, even though I was not very good at it. Thank you, Noah, for letting such a novice ride. I would definitely like to come again.

Wild horse riding experience in Sapporo city ♪ ~ Basic lessons & town patrol with a sheriff
It was my first time riding a horse. I had ridden a horse before, but it was my first time holding the reins myself, getting out of the confines of the lead and strolling around slopes, around orchards and through forests, and controlling the horse, so it didn't go as well as I had hoped. But it felt like I was able to communicate a little with the horse (Sakura), and it was fun. My husband, who experienced it with me, also said it was fun, even though it was his first time, and that he also enjoyed it, saying that next time he would like to try the adventure course at Mt. Haruka. The 80-minute course went by in a flash. I could feel the love for the horses in the sheriff's instruction, and it was cool how resolute he was. Thank you very much.

I felt soothed.
It was my first time riding a horse in 10 years, but the staff and horses were very kind and helpful. I enjoyed the soothing zigzag walking, and it was fun. Especially during times like these, I felt the importance of interaction between people and animals. I'd like to participate again. Thank you very much.

First horse riding experience
We participated as a couple and four other senior couples. It was our first time riding a horse, but we were taught carefully and enjoyed it with ease. I'm glad that everyone had fun and shared wonderful memories. I'd definitely like to ride a horse here again. (This review has been machine translated into English) -
It was fun!
It was fun! I've done horse riding in other places, but I think it's a whole different experience when the instructor and the staff around you are cheerful! They were very kind to me. I'd definitely like to use it again. (This review has been machine translated into English) -
It was fun!
I participated alone for the 50-minute experience. It was so much fun that the time flew by. When I went outside the enclosure and saw Sakura the horse drinking water, it was so adorable that it left a strong impression on me. On the way home, I remembered that the Hokkaido Support Coupon could also be used for carrots, and I couldn't help but regret not using it for Sakura.

The Wild Mustangs Experience
・My daughter and I participated for the first time. ・The female sheriff who escorted us, even though it was our first time experiencing horseback riding, was so cool! We were able to handle the rein, walk at a normal pace, and trot at a fast pace. Actually, the horses, Sakura and Cindy, were so smart that we felt at ease and left them in their hands. We had the blue sky and autumn-colored mountains all to ourselves, and it was a wonderful time walking along the forest path. Thank you very much.

Golden Week
I went with my husband to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. We applied for a 60-minute trial, but the road to the park was extremely crowded because it was Golden Week, and I wondered if we would make it in time. When we arrived, we checked in, borrowed western hats and boots, and headed off to the horses. ^^; I've forgotten what kind of horse it was, but it was a cute, carefree horse, just right for me. It looks easy to watch, but it was difficult to gallop, but it was a lot of fun, and I'd like to ride again. It was a good memory. (This review has been machine translated into English) -
First time horse riding was awesome
On May 8th, from 10:00AM, two of us participated in a 60-minute horse riding experience course. It was my first time riding a horse. I was impressed that my field of vision changed so much just by getting on the horse. I started off a little scared, but the guide told me specifically how to do it, so after 15 minutes I started to enjoy it and fell in love with the horses. During the ride, the horse suddenly went to the bathroom and started talking to me about how it was "bufifi". It was 60 minutes that I regretted not taking the 80-minute course.

It was a good memory.
My husband and I went here to experience something that is unique to Hokkaido in winter. We are not used to snow and it was our first time horse riding, so we had many concerns before the experience, such as what to wear and how to get there, but the staff were all very kind and polite, and we were able to experience the experience with peace of mind. It was so much fun and fantastic to walk through the pure white snowscape that there were not even footprints, and the 60 minutes went by in a flash. Now I'm really looking forward to horse riding again, and I'd like to visit again in a different season. Thank you very much. (This review has been machine translated into English) -
40-minute course
Four beginners participated. The instructors were very kind and helpful. I thought it was a little short, but I was very satisfied and enjoyed it. My friend, who was hesitant at first because she didn't like horses, had a lot of fun after the lesson, and each of them felt very attached to the horses they rode. (This review has been machine translated into English) -
It was so much fun!
I took my mother, who wanted to try horse riding once in her life, to the 40-minute course. I had only ridden a horse once as a child, and my mother was a complete beginner who had never even straddled a horse, but I felt at ease because they carefully taught me how to hold the reins, and after getting used to it inside the enclosure, we walked around outside. The horse my mother rode on was very greedy, and whenever it found food while we were walking, it would stick its head in, which was really funny. I myself had been interested in horse riding in the past, but I was always hesitant because the prices were so high, so I took the plunge and tried it this time. The staff also took the time to take lots of photos at key points. It was a very fun and good experience. I would like to try horse riding in the snow next time.

I'm glad I went!
I tried the 60-minute course. I was pretty much a beginner, having only ridden horses once, but the instructor taught me carefully, and in a 30-minute lesson in the riding arena, I was able to get the hang of how to give instructions to the horse and how to ride. The horses were very calm and naturally followed the lead horse, so I didn't feel anxious at all. After the practice, I went for my first outside ride. I strolled through nearby orchards and mountain paths while talking with the instructor. The weather was good that day, and I enjoyed the majestic Hokkaido scenery. Finally, I had a commemorative photo taken with the horse, and the experience came to an end. I participated alone, but the staff were friendly and very helpful, so I really enjoyed it! Next time I'd like to try a long ride. (This review has been machine translated into English) -
40-minute course
I was a little worried about how much we could do in 40 minutes, but we were more than satisfied with the content, which was worth the price! The weather was nice, it was very pleasant, and the horses were quiet, smart, and cute. Next time, I'd like to spend more time there! I was also grateful that they took lots of photos for us.

40-minute course
It had been a while since I last rode a horse. I was wondering whether to go for the 60-minute course, but the 40-minute course was plenty enjoyable. The people accompanying me were kind, and the horses were smart and easy to ride. The environment was nice and relaxing. I'd like to go again. (This review has been machine translated into English) -
80-minute course
I arrived at the site a little early, but they were able to help me pretty quickly. Even beginners can enjoy themselves without worrying because they receive a general lesson inside the enclosure before going outside. The lesson itself was thorough and easy to understand. The course mainly took us into the mountains, but the email I received in advance included information about insect repellent spray, and the staff were very kind.

It was absolutely great!
I went with about six friends about two months ago. We had to go to Hokkaido, inquire about horse riding plans, make reservations, and there were many obstacles and twists and turns before we were able to experience it, but it was such a refreshing experience that it was like all the hardships we had gone through were a lie! The staff were also wonderful! It's a good memory of Hokkaido☆ﾐ (This review has been machine translated into English) -
60-minute course experience
It was my first time riding in Hokkaido, but I have experienced riding in other regions on my travels. I was excited to go on a ride that was unique to Hokkaido, so I rented a car and left my precious itinerary behind... but to be honest, it was a disappointment. Even though it was just before 4pm, the woman accompanying me was so distant that she kept saying things like, "The horse wants to go home," "We're hungry just like the horse," "I can smell dinner," and so on, as if she was telling me to hurry up and go home. Even though it was a 60-minute course, most of the time was spent on beginner lessons in the riding arena, and I think we only rode for about 20 minutes. Even though we had time to wait and feed the horses carrots after the experience, we only stayed there for a little over 60 minutes. Moreover, even though the official website said that even beginners can trot, we were not allowed to go outside even once. The woman accompanying me was walking next to me the whole time, and the horse followed her rather than the rider, so it was essentially the same as leading a horse, except that I didn't have a bit. We broke our itinerary from far away, went through all the trouble, and paid this much for a 20-minute horse-pulling ride... It was an unpleasant experience, and to be honest, it was such a terrible experience that I'm reluctant to go on a ride while traveling again. It's possible that we were inexperienced and just happened to not get along with the horses, so this is just my personal opinion, but I hope it will be helpful for anyone planning to go. I don't want anyone else to have to go through this, so I just hope that the sheriff's attitude improves and the experience is reviewed. (This review has been machine translated into English) -
I participated in the 80-minute course.
I participated in the 80-minute course with my child. As expected, my inner thighs and buttocks hurt after 80 minutes on the horse, but the two female sheriffs who taught us were very kind, and my child was very happy. We were also very satisfied with how to handle the horses, which are not very responsive, and how to trot lightly without hurting the buttocks. I was also impressed by the sheriff's skill in repelling the horseflies that were on the horse's buttocks. I can't believe he was able to kill a horse fly of that size with his bare hands... And there were so many of them... I would like to participate again in a different season. Thank you very much. (This review has been machine translated into English)
