1. Important Safety Information (Please read carefully)
Even if the numerical limits are met, we will give priority to the on-site supervisor’s judgment for the following reasons.
・Restrictions or cancellations based on on-site judgment
Please note that the course may be altered or the event canceled due to external factors such as strong winds, inclement weather, the condition of the horses, wild deer, and other wildlife, as well as ground conditions.
・Maintaining a riding posture
For safety reasons, we may ask that individuals who are at risk of losing their balance while riding, as well as young children and elderly guests who have difficulty maintaining a safe riding posture on their own, refrain from participating.
Horses are very sensitive creatures. These decisions are made with the safety of both our guests and the horses as our top priority, and we kindly ask for your understanding.

4. About the Long Course Horseback Riding Experience
Currently, the horses capable of handling long courses (40–75 minutes) and special running courses are entering their senior years, so we are strictly limiting their daily exercise. Additionally, since the number of staff available to assist is limited, we will be implementing the following measures.
・Guests staying at the hotel
We will ask about your preferences at check-in and will give you priority seating.
・Day visitors
We are generally closed, but we may make an exception and accommodate requests only if there is sufficient staff availability and the horses have enough energy on the day of your visit. Since we cannot predict when or under what circumstances we will be able to accommodate you, we do not offer advance guarantees or accept reservations. We will make a decision based on the situation at the time of your arrival.
These decisions are made to ensure the horses’ well-being and prevent overwork.
We kindly ask for your understanding.
