Editor's Note

 

  2013年、5月26日に第80回日本ダービーが開催されました。優勝したキズナ号は
ディープインパクト号の産駒で、武 豊ジョッキーの後方からの見事な鋭い追い込
みが見られました。競馬は優秀な血統やジョッキーが重要視され華やかさをもって
います。しかし和種馬は地域に密着した生活文化とともに歩んできた貴重な８品種
であり、今後も地味だが日本が誇れる馬として存続・土着し、進化・発展して欲し
い，そんな意味合いから今回のシンポジウムの題材は大きな意義がありました。
今号は、第25回学術集会で行われたシンポジウム『日本の在来馬の現在と活用の
道』について，講演内容を5人の演者に纏めていただき，特集号的な扱いで取り上

武田謙一氏の「木曽馬について」は、木曽馬が信州で人馬一体となり生活していた
長い歴史的繋がりについて述べています。信州には古くは朝廷・天皇の直轄領であ

近藤誠司氏（座長）の「北海道和種馬について」は、様々な体型や毛色、そして鰻

日本在来馬の系統解析に関する研究（遺跡発掘調査や歴史的資料）では様々な説が

The 80th Nippon Derby was held on May 26, 2013. The winner, Kizuna, is a son of Deep 
Impact, and its jockey Yutaka TAKE came sharply from behind for a spectacular final stretch.
In horse racing, a superior blood line and a good jockey are considered important, and there 
is a certain amount of glamour. Meanwhile, Japanese horses consist of eight prized breeds 
that have developed hand in hand with a community-based lifestyle and culture. In the sense 
of wanting them to survive and take root and to progress and develop as horses Japan can 
be proud of, however plain, the subject of the symposium covered in this issue was highly 
meaningful. 
In this issue, we have compiled the presentation contents of five speakers at the Scientific 
Sessions Symposium "The Present Situation of Japanese Native Horses and Paths for their 
Use," which took place at the 25th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Equine 
Science, and presented them in the form of a special issue.
"The Current Situation of Japanese Native Horses and their Registration Management," 
by Daisuke YAMASHITA, looks at the situation of preservation societies for the eight
breeds registered as Japanese native horses, their designation as cultural assets, and 
registration programs, etc. He talks about registration-related matters, focusing on an 
overview of their body type standard, the environment and system in which they are 
raised, and how many there are, for example. In "Misaki Native Horses—Their Origin, 
Current Situation, and Potential," Masaru AKITA presents specific examples in discussing
the history of Misaki horses over the last 300 years or so, along with the behavior of 
the horses, which are considered wild, their pastures' vegetation and ecosystem, the 
environment, their use in educational materials, the horses' interaction with people and 
their eco-tour activities, and their management (preservation societies and conservation
activities), etc. In "Kiso Native Horses," Kennichi TAKEDA tells about the long historical
involvement Kiso horses had living side by side with humans in Shinshu. In Shinshu, 
there are a lot of pastures (currently horse pastures), which were the direct territory of the 
imperial court and the emperor in the old days. Kiso horses were reserved as tribute horses, 
and they were used as messenger horses (Shinshu Chuma) in a unique means of transport 
consisting of a relay method along Nakasendo Road. Also, Kiso horses have the dorsal 
bands distinctive of wild horses. The horses were made larger to use as chargers, but now 
they are being used for meat, for companionship, for exhibitions, and for service purposes. 
Seiji KONDO (the seminar leader) discusses in "Hokkaido Native Horses" such characteristics 
as their various physiques and coat colors, their dorsal bands, and the fact that they can 
amble, as well as the origins of Dosanko horses and their move to Hokkaido, and their 
use as pack horses (loading up to 400 kg). Mr. Kondohas high expectations for the horses' 
versatile use in the future, for purposes such as meat production, genetic entrenchment, 
and trekking, as riding horses for the disabled, and for forestry management and disaster 
assistance. From Teruaki TOZAKI, we have "Where Did Native Japanese Horses Come 
From?" While there are a variety of explanations in research on the lineage analysis of 
native Japanese horses (archaeological site studies and historical documents, etc.), this 
is a report that attempts to answer the question by using DNA analytical techniques to 
clarify their phyletic line. He also tells the results of phylogenetic analysis on horses 
around the world. Meanwhile, in "Where are Native Japanese Horses Headed?", he 
perceives Japan's native horses as horses that have taken root and clustered together 
in their respective regions and become livestock that are well-established in each region's 
life and culture, and as animals that are in a position to represent regional culture. He 
advocates the need to begin crossing native Japanese horses based on a flexible 
registration system and to implement widespread conservation and effective use. 
At the end, in the "Discussion" chaired by Mr. Kondo, the conclusion seemed to be 
that there were arguments both for and against the presenters' theories. Nevertheless,
it was clearly a gathering of presenters and attendees who had a strong interest in
native Japanese horses and a desire for their survival. 
The feature article by Mitsutoshi KOBAYASHI, "The 5th Equine Veterinarians
Working Group's Invited Lecture, Case Discussion Forum, and Workshop," focuses 
on an invited lecture entitled "Recent Advances in Lameness Diagnosis," by equine 
orthopedic specialist Dr. Sue Dyson. It introduces the lectures and workshops 
presented at the annual JSES meeting, at the Miho Training Center, in Shizunaicho,
and in Shinhidakacho.
