The JRA Hidaka Breeding Ranch conducts research and studies on horse production, breeding and training techniques, and breeding management methods, and returns and disseminates the results to production and breeding farms.
At Hidaka breeding ranch, we will hold a tour to introduce the facilities for training racehorses, including a grass (turf) track, a grass track on a slope, and an indoor straight track with a length of 1,000 meters, which is unparalleled in the world, utilizing the vast grassland in the total area of 1,500 hectares.
Those facilities are usually not open for visitors, but you get to see and experience the inside of the ranch only during this special event season.
We also offer special programs such as “Riding Experience,” “Iron Making and Hoof Trimming Demonstration,” “Introduction to Research Work,” and “Acclimatization and Training (education for running with people)” depending on the season.
The JRA Hidaka Breeding Farm has an area about the same size as Shibuya Ward in Tokyo.
This is a very popular tour where you can enjoy the magnificent nature of Hokkaido and visit the racehorse training facilities. We hope you will join us.
