Riding a Kisouma in the Nature of Hirugano-kogen

Let us go riding with Kisouma outside the farm!

After riding one round inside the farm, we can go outside! Kisouma is kept as a domestic animal for a long period of time, so they are calm and suitable for beginners. No need to worry even if it is your first time riding a horse.

Horse riding uses general roads, it is a bit interesting! The weather today is very fine, and we can see cherry blossom in full bloom. It is really a good day for horse riding! I was nervous holding the bridle at first, but I get familiar with it very soon.

This refreshing view it is so beautiful, just like a postcard from foreign country!

When I am enjoying the scenery, Happy is also enjoying her grass by the path side. Although she is so cute eating, I need to guide her back to the center of the road.

Walking slowly along a small path in the wood

We are going to leave the general road and enter a small path. It is stable on the back of Happy. She walks slowly and makes me feel calm and quiet. I can now walk together with Happy with my bridle. The sound of Happy’s footsteps can be heard clearly in this quiet wood.

The view from the back of Happy is like this! She is taller than I thought! It is so interesting that I can see things differently up here. As Mr Shimizu and other staff come together with me, it is very safe!

We finish this 30 minutes Challenge course when we are back to the farm. Time passes so fast! I would like to try a longer course next time!

“Happy! Thank you so much today. See you next time.”

After trying this horse riding, let us see other parts of Hirugano-kogen!
