Horse rearing farm in Aomori

I visited a horse rearing farm in Aomori, which locates in the northernmost main island of Japan
The farm is run by a family of my horse medicine class teacher 
The family rears and produces strong horses to win horse racings
Some of the horses raised in this farm won several big prices and became famous
Weather was good enough to make me feel like taking my camera after several months



Mother and foals rest in the good afternoon




Stall was old but really clean and pleasant 

















A mother of this foal died soon after she gave birth
So this foal is reared by a foster mother








This is a mother of a famous horse
We saw him running a race and  we spectated through a TV today
She is also a daughter of a famous horse 







Field time !!

Since it is getting hot,, horse are pastured from evening during night, 
when temperature is not high 
Today farmer let horses pastured earlier than usual so that we can see them running in the field










All horses were really friendly to people especially this foal











run!
