A special experience interacting with horses
Horseback riding is a sport in which horses and humans connect emotionally and become one. Not only can you refresh yourself by moving your body, but you can also expect to develop your inner muscles and improve your core and sense of balance. Furthermore, spending time with horses brings healing and relaxation, and is an experience that you cannot get in your everyday life.
Lessons for beginners
Gunma Prefectural Bajikoen is not a membership-based facility and is open to everyone. Experienced instructors accompany each lesson, so even beginners and children can enjoy it with peace of mind. In addition to full-fledged horse riding lessons for adults, there is also a "pony riding" program for small children, making it a fun experience for the whole family.
