Daily life with horses living in Tokachi, Hokkaido. A heartwarming scene that has become a hot topic on social media.

Horse peeking into kitchen through frozen window "Do you have anything? Carrots or something..." It's very stressful.

Quoted from @TKodou48390's post

The sight of the horse staring out the window makes you want to give it a carrot or an apple. The post received comments such as "Too cute," "I'll buy you a carrot," and "What an ideal life...," and garnered over 28,000 likes.

Horses living freely in nature, supporting each other

The person who posted this photo is Mr. Hirukawa, who runs "North Pole Stables," a stable for retired racehorses and horses that have been given up by their owners for various reasons. Working horses earn money for pasture through horseback riding experiences and other activities, and live while supporting their fellow horses.

The horses' "job" here is to live happily with their companions until they reach the end of their natural lives. They live a carefree and free life in nature with Mr. Hirukawa and his "guardians," not their owners.

Hirukawa says he wants visitors to feel questions such as, "What is nature?", "What is life that humans do not restrain?", and "Aren't humans also a part of nature?" A stay at North Pole Stables will make you reconsider the relationship between humans and animals.
