Good-Luck Charms Made with Horse Manure Which Is Most Popular with Mukogawa Women’s University Students?【Nishinomiya Quiz】

The School of Business Administration at Mukogawa Women’s University, always known for doing interesting projects, has teamed up this time with the rescued-horse interaction farm “Share Horse Island” on Awaji Island to release some super lucky goods that really bring you good “un”(^^)/

They’re card-shaped charms made from the world’s rare and unusual “Bafun Paper”, paper made from “horse manure.”

Here’s a quiz

By the way, whose “horse manure” is it from? These two↓

First is Fugetsu, a lucky horse who was nearly turned into meat despite being a Natural Monument, but was rescued at the very last moment.
And the other is Anelois, a former racehorse who was lucky enough to be taken in by Share Horse Island after retirement, where she now spends her days💁

That’s right, these two are lucky horses🐴

These Bafun Paper charms play on the “luck” of the two rescued horses and the Japanese word “un,” which can mean both luck and poop.
A test sales event and design popularity vote, which is also today’s quiz, was held at Mukogawa Women’s University, so we stopped by to take a look!

This is Bafun Paper. It’s made by disinfecting and processing the plant fibers contained in horse manure, then mixing those extracted fibers into the raw materials for paper. It has a unique texture, almost like high-quality washi paper💛 By the way, the “Ben-san” on the sticky note is the owner of Share Horse Island, who is overflowing with love for horses😍

Oh, they’re selling. We even heard someone shout, “With this, the Arima Kinen is mine!”🙄 This person must have bought “d. Competitive luck.”

Nishitsu bought some too.

This is going to boost my career luck! Next year’s Nishitsu is definitely going to be amazing(￣▽￣)

Putting our faith in horses😂 I’m boosting my competitive luck～♪（Though the boss bought it for me…）Maybe I’ll buy a lottery ticket on the way home～

Now then,

the correct answer to the quiz is…

↓

Here’s how things looked partway through. Is the upper right, money luck, in the lead?

All the popularity voting boards have been gathered. Wow, it’s close～😆

The correct answer was c. Money luck　ーーーーー.

We don’t know if people chose it for the design, or because they were aiming for money luck.

General sales of the charms will start on January 6, 2023, on this site: rescued-horse interaction farm “Share Horse Island”!

You can also buy other items, such as “Uma Uma Kaiun Goriyaku Rice,” made with composted horse manure.

The proceeds help support the rescued horses, serving as a way to deal with rising feed costs and as an important source of income during the slow winter season!

It might be fun to visit this unique farm with your family, where you can enjoy life with horses in ways beyond just horseback riding～♪

There seem to be so many rare experiences you can try, like horseboarding, a horse-drawn sled experience, and horse tubing, where you ride on a big inner tube pulled by a horse～♪ It’s perfect for animal lovers!
