Horse Girls

Horse Girls (ウマ娘, Uma Musume) are the reborn of racehorses from another world. Their fate is to run endlessly towards their goal.

Visibly, horse girls are human girls who possess horse features. They have horse ears instead of a human's and a tail that matches their hair color. They are also blessed with incredible speed and stamina, which grants them the ability to race others of their kind. Horse girls are well known among the mankind and seemed to be greatly adored by them as well.
