Did you know that you can have the uniquely Hokkaido experience of riding a horse across the land right in Sapporo? Minami-ku, where the Wild Mustangs horseback riding facility is located, is an area of Sapporo city that is rich in nature. Even tourists from outside Hokkaido can easily get there by subway and bus.

At Wild Mustangs you can experience western-style horse riding. There are several courses, and beginners are recommended to start with the "Wild Ride" where you practice in the riding arena. A "sheriff" dressed as a cowboy will give you careful instruction, so you can enjoy the experience with peace of mind.

Aren't you a little worried about calling the staff "sheriffs"? The riding style that Wild Mustangs aims for is entertainment! We want you to enjoy riding horses while immersing yourself in the world of the West. That's why going outside Mustangs Town is also called "patrols."

Try your hand at trotting, which is like a horse prancing, and when the sheriff gives you the OK, you'll finally head out of Mustangs Town and out on patrol! You'll roam through the nature at the foot of Mount Hakken. Feeling the wind on your horseback might make you feel a little more wild...

You can choose between a 50-minute and 80-minute course for the Wild Ride. There is also a course called "Wild Adventure" available for a limited time. You will ride through the forest with your horse from a place farther away from the facility to the finish line. If you're confident, why not give this a try?

We recommend the "Horse-pulling" experience for families with small children. A safety officer will hold the reins, so you can enjoy the experience with peace of mind. You can choose between a flat course and an up-and-down course, and parents and children can ride together.

Ride a horse in the great outdoors, less than an hour from downtown Sapporo. Not only is that a lot of fun, but it's also entertaining, so you'll be excited! Why not visit Mustangs Town and spend some engrossing time here? The big-eyed horses are waiting for you.
