Day 5.1: Horse Riding

This is the 5th day of my 100 days diary challenge.

Today I learned I have to save blog time to time on hatena blog free. I was getting used to an auto save blog systems, I was really surprised that my entry has been lost.

By the way, I could never write diary everyday since I became an adult, but if I can write 10 days, I will reward myself. So I didn't want to delay this entry despite having lost all of the text.

I like movie and TV dramas, some times I feel cool when actress and actors go riding horse well. 2014 is the year of horse in the Japanese twelve branches, according to this, an idea came up with me that "What about riding a horse? Is it fun, isn't it?" I know keeping and having horse is expensive and there isn't so many riding horse clubs around Tokyo. Nevertheless, someone told me there are places and farms keeping horses in Chiba, so I googled it today.

I found several places and read their websites. The leisure farms offer trial horse riding, and in this case, a guide person pull the reins in front of the horse, on the other side, horse riding club has 2 type of lessons and we can try to go riding solo if we want. Most famous farm in Chiba is "Mother Farm（マザー牧場 mother bokujo)", and we can try riding a horse in 10min course. I also found a course for a reasonable price in "Crane riding horse club(クレイン乗馬クラブ)", they offer a 4400yen(90min) class for the first time. Crane club(Chiba) and Chiba riding park(千葉ライディングパーク) have a course for riding in the field(outside of a park) sounds very good. It would be nice, if I could go riding horse in nature...!

It's been a fine day and is getting warmer and warmer every day. I want to go outside for feeling Spring wind!
