[Project Name] A final home for horses that worked hard. "A town where you can live with horses... Shibecha" Project 2026 https://fcf.furunavi.jp/Project/Detail?projectid=1013 We are promoting "community development centered on horses" so that equestrian fans and horse lovers nationwide will visit repeatedly. In the future, we aim to create an environment where it can be considered as a candidate for relocation to live together with one's own horses... aiming for "A town where you can live with horses... Shibecha". As part of the project, we take in various horses, including retired racehorses. The horses entrusted to us live leisurely with their friends on a ranch located in gently rolling grassland. In this project, we will improve the reception environment and facilities so that horses that have been active in riding clubs in urban areas can spend their remaining years in the rich nature of Shibecha Town after retirement. Breeding requires expenses such as feed costs, which is a heavy burden for riding clubs, so we kindly ask for your support. The donations received in this project will be used to support the care and breeding of retired riding horses, improve the reception environment and facilities, and engage in initiatives and public relations activities for the sound development of this project. ■ About Shibecha Town, Hokkaido Located almost in the center of the Kushiro area in eastern Hokkaido, it is a town centered on dairy farming that utilizes a vast land area of 1,099.37 square kilometers.
