Since it is operated as a third sector company, the settings are reasonable.Thank you very much!Management within the ranchPreparing meals for guestsLunch making and guidance on boarding, etc.The staff are all-round and can handle anything.In trekkingWe assess the ability of the participants and entertain everyone from beginners to veterans who have ridden many saddles.Hokkaido walks side by side, so it sways sideways.There is no vertical sway that you would feel with a thoroughbred.stable on horsebackEven for beginnersIt's easy for older people to get on board as well.This timeTrekking to Cape Kirakotan, Kushiro Wetlands, etc.If the path is blocked by a fallen tree, climb up and down through the bushes on the slope of the mountain!Canter through the steep uphill curve!Trees and bamboo as far as the eye can seeA muddy roadA mysterious course with sunlight filtering through the treesform a formationWith a thin whip made from a tree branch!(Is it okay if I drop it?!)“Yes, this path is a canter.”With this signalI have thoroughly enjoyed that.It's a real pleasure that you can't experience at a horse riding club.AlsoFor the one-day course, spread out your seat in a place with a good view.There is lunch timeYou can also order lunch boxes at this farm.Helmet, boots (boots), gloves, windbreaker top and bottom on cold daysFree rentalThere are many horseflies around July and August.I am worried about both people and horses.It's refreshing from mid-September onwards.Snow trekking is also attractive.Every year around FebruaryDue to an increase in the number of overnight stays for photographing red-crowned cranes.If you wish to ride outside and stay overnight, it is recommended to make reservations early.Experience a powerful and impressive canterTsurui Farm and “Dosanko”I was completely fascinated.

I stayed the day before and tried the one-day course!It was the best horseback riding experience🐴The female guide was also cheerful and fun✨You will ride a horse through Kushiro Shitsugen National Park, and at first you will be tied to the guide's horse with a rope, but during a break you will be able to take off the rope and control the horse yourself 😊Even though I was a beginner, I was able to experience the rush ✌️The horses at Dosanko Farm were well-trained, so I was able to enjoy horseback riding with peace of mind.The room was clean and comfortable with air conditioning!You can see the horses from the window, which is a nice view.Both breakfast and dinner were delicious.It seems that the guides take turns making the tour.Maki-chan, Maki-kun, thank you for your help.I hope Fujimaru-kun can make his debut safely🫶I would like to see you again when I come to Tsurui Village 😊

<3rd time> 5 starsAs before, Miki will be on horseback. Fortunately, it rained only a little bit on this day, but there were many puddles and muddy spots due to the heavy rain the day before, so we were mostly walking at a steady pace, trotting for about 4 and a half minutes, and cantering for about 2 minutes. During our lunch break, we climbed a steep mountain road to the top of a hill overlooking the wetland, but although we were disappointed by the mosquitoes and the cloudy weather, we enjoyed the ride itself.<2nd time> 5 stars・This time I didn't stay overnight and only went on a horse trek.・My partner is 19-year-old Dosanko, and Mitsuki is an obedient, smart and nimble horse, so I think he will become one of my favorites. There were six horses on the horse trek, and the other four were regulars on the one-day course.・Distance 17km, riding time 2 hours 20 minutes (trot 43 minutes, canter 7 minutes)On the way back, I mainly walked fast because I was pressed for time.・Since it was a midsummer day, we had lunch at the gazebo that serves as the base of Cape Kirakotan. I think I was often bothered by insects during stops, including breaks along the way.・I was able to hear many interesting stories from our guide, Mr. K, and it was a very satisfying trip. 5 starsVisited on 8/30. Perhaps because I was the only one on the half-day (2 hour) course, I did less trotting and more cantering. For 9,100 yen, I was very satisfied with the best value for money. Furthermore, the horse was well trained and never once showed any signs of wandering.On the other hand, at the accommodation we stayed at the night before, we had a good view of the grazing land from our room, but the dinner was so low in salt that it was considered healthy food, so it may not be suitable for young people's tastes. However, the brand of rice is unknown, but it is very delicious.I would like to visit again for snow riding, but unfortunately there are no flights to Kushiro from Kansai International Airport during the winter.

On August 26th, I participated in a half-day course (2 hours) in the afternoon and experienced horseback riding for the first time.After a 15-minute lecture, I went around the indoor horse track for 2 weeks, and then immediately went to the outdoor experience course.The horses were very tame. As a beginner, she faithfully follows my commands and signals using the reins and the heel of her foot. Along the course, I came across a leisurely grazing cow and two red-crowned cranes. By the time she got used to it, she was walking at a galloping pace. I was very impressed with this. After about 50 minutes, we will take a break in a meadow in the forest.The instructor will take lots of photos.We will also teach you how to use a whip made from a tree branch.We will use this whip several times on the way back. However, it was the same feeling as stepping on the accelerator of a car.I got back just after 2:00 pm and it was really fun.Thank you to the instructor who taught me that ``horseback riding in the winter snow is also good.'' I thought, "I definitely want to come again in winter!"

I did a half-day horse trek.All the horses were calm and used to people, and were very easy to ride. The instructor was also cheerful and kind, and it was a wonderful memory.Below are some things to keep in mind.・Beginners will find it surprisingly tiring to continue riding a horse and their buttocks will start to hurt, so I think beginners can enjoy the half-day course as well.・During the hike, you'll be walking so fast that you'll be shaking a lot, so it's best to leave your camera in the free locker and use your smartphone instead.・The ranch itself is not very big, so if you are just looking at the horses, I think 30 minutes is enough.・There are no shops nearby, so it is better to buy lunch etc. in advance. There is a cafe corner in the dormitory, but it may be closed depending on the time.

I used it for a half-day course (2 hours) during the Obon period.Thank you very much for accepting me even though I contacted you on the same day! !All the horses were nice and cute, the scenery of Kushiro Marsh was amazing, and it was really fun! !The price for the others is 8,000 yen for 50 minutes, so this one is quite cheap.I would like to book a one-day course next time!Thank you for the wonderful memories!

*Since I did not stay overnight, I have no evaluation.Enjoy an adult activity called horseback riding.I was brought here because my father had been into horse riding since the 20th century.(I'm only interested in horse racing)The children have at least some experience pulling horses.It's been a long time since I've experienced it twice when I was single.The guide was very kind and I enjoyed the 2 hour course.You'll get a lot of muscle pain, and you'll sweat a lot, so it might be good for dieting.Also, it will improve your posture, so it might be good for desk work. I also feel less burden on my lower back.
