<p>The objective of this study is to clarify the present situation and trend in the management of horse-breeding farms in the Hidaka region. As a method, we carried out questionnaire surveys with 12 farms and referred to the statistical data. As the results, approximately 70% of farms have fewer than 10 broodmares due to managerial difficulties and the absence of successors. These problems induce give-up-farming. Moreover, we discovered the new management type of these farms with more appropriate classification than previous studies from the results of our questionnaire surveys.</p>
