Important Notice About Uma Apology

Thank you very much for always reading Nishinomiya Tsushin.

Regarding the article published today, September 13 at 13:53, “There’s a horse at Gardens right now. It looks like a statue, but it’s real”, it was not actually real. We sincerely apologize for this serious mistake, and for causing everyone so much trouble and concern.

How We Found Out

Here is the photo of the horse.

After we posted the article “There’s a horse at Gardens right now. It looks like a statue, but it’s real,” we received information from another reader.

About the two horses at Gardens, it seems they may not have been real after all.
At first I thought they were real horses, but as soon as the customers left and cleanup began, both of them stayed completely still for 20 minutes.

I thought they were incredibly well-trained horses, but they seem to be extremely well-made machines.

After that, we also received a message from Ikejun-san, who had originally provided the information.
