Supporting Membership: Protecting Japanese Native Horses and Maintaining a Horse-Friendly Riding Facility

​

Japan’s Precious Native Horses

There are currently eight native horse breeds remaining in Japan, with a total population of only approximately 1,600 horses.

​

At Washuba Horseland, we live together with seven horses, six of which are Hokkaido native horses known as “Dosanko.”

​

Our mission is to cherish the life of every individual horse and to help preserve these precious Japanese native horses for future generations.

​

At our riding facility, we are dedicated to protecting and nurturing Japan’s native horses while providing a riding environment where the welfare and well-being of our horses always come first.

​

Our Three Commitments to a Stress-Free Life for Our Horses

​

• Natural Horse Care:

​　Our horses spend the entire daytime freely grazing and living outdoors, and return to their stables only at night. This provides them

　with a natural and low-stress environment where they can live comfortably.

​

• Building a Strong Bond of Trust:

​　By allowing our horses to live freely and comfortably, they grow into gentle, friendly horses that enjoy interacting with people and are

　able to coexist peacefully with humans.

​

• Limiting Working Hours:

​　We do not put profit before the well-being of our horses. We carefully limit the amount of time our horses spend carrying riders each

　day in order to reduce fatigue and physical strain.

​

Maintaining the healthy and comfortable lives of our horses, as well as preserving thisideal environment, requires considerable ongoing expenses.

​

In order to continue our activities in a sustainable way without putting profit first, we are now inviting people who share our vision to become Supporting Members.

​

Your generous support will be carefully used for essential expenses such as feed, veterinary care, and the maintenance of facilities and a rich, comfortable environment for our horses.

​

We sincerely hope that you will join us as a partner in protecting the future of Japan’s precious native horses.
