I wake up on a Monday and I get a horse-girl based WTF.
Better than the quidditch craze from 10 years ago, until it’s revealed a horse is transphobic.
Waiting for the bombshell documentary, Seabiscuit 2, to show some of those uncomfortable truths.
I would have guessed a “horse girl” is a girl who likes horses and probably horse-riding. Wouldn’t have been surprised: when I was a teen, we had 50% boys/girls horse riders, and today it seems most teen horse-riders are girls.
But this is beyond anything I would have imagined. I guess I’m reaching that age where I can’t comprehend the young’s trends.I’ve never met a male who was into horses or horseback riding my entire life.
I have met/known several horse girls/women and they all fit the stereotype of being a spoiled princess who throws crying tantrums when they don’t get their way. I regularly get interest from horse women on dating apps, but ignore them all because of this.
And to clarify, I’m talking about people who own/ride horses and often do dressage and or showjumping stuff. Not people who fantasize about it.
That said, I have not ever met a horsegirl who was also into anime. That’s a genre cross over that I am just learning about today from this article.
Nice to meet you! I’m a dude, and I absolutely love horseriding! A passion passed on to me by my father, who himself got from my grandfather, and that I passed on to my daughter! As for girls, in the stables we (daughter and myself) go to, there are many girls, but not many princesses and/or spoiled children.
I bet a dollar you live more than an hour from most stables. It’s like skiing. It’s a luxurious hobby at its base. If you’re local, it’s not that big a deal and lots of neighbors are into. If you have to travel to maintain the hobby and you do, in fact, maintain it, you’re either very dedicated or very well off.
It’s that stupid running girl game that’s been advertised everywhere. It’s just another way to milk people who are in a certain period. And their minds are too fogged to see how dumb it is.
Well, at least they’re outside.
WTF is a “horse girl”? Umamusume? Is that some anime thing I’m not weeb enough to know?
I’m afraid to ask these questions because I feel like I’m always so disappointed in the answer.
Everytime I see something about it I just wonder why it’s popular.

Because it is, somehow, an actually very well made game. One of those things where I first just learned about the anime and just thought that sounds dumb, but man the game is actually fun. Also the recent spinoff anime series (cinderella gray) was actually just a very good sports anime.
The movie that came out semi recently was also really goddamn good
The game’s actually really well made. The anime is fantastic with a good author behind it. It is incredibly respectful to the horses in the heritage of them. Honestly, all things said and done. It’s just a generally highly polished IP with a lot of respect to the source material on the horses and it does a lot of charity and good.
The fans are just crazy
It’s a mobile game where you train anime girls modeled after horses to race.
Yeah that checks out. Lol.
There have always been Horse Girls, whether they own a horse or not. Many girls go through a Horse Girl phase, and it sticks for some. When I was in elementary school, all the girls wanted to read Misty of Chincoteague, but the school library only had a couple of copies, so there was always a waiting list for it.
This is Horse Girl with an Anime twist. Not that big of a surprise really.
Uma (馬) is horse in Japanese and musume (娘) is daughter (or young, unmarried woman, I guess). Beyond that, I have no idea what is going on.
Thanks for this invaluable insight into the epidemiology of horse girls.
Musume is also the term used for anthropomorphized anime girls.
In this case, a horse girl is an anime girl with horse ears and a horse tail. Umamusume is a gotcha game where you manage a horse girl that participates in a horse race. It’s very similar to Monster Rancher, except with FOMO and horny.
horse/human fetish/
I kinda love it honestly.

“anime racing horse girl genre”
Every day, we stray further from god
Are we though?
Oh please. There’s nothing wrong with a bunch of girls horsing around.
That’s why we made horse girls that can chase him down before he gets away
Good
And that’s a good thing. Why believe in fairytales?
It would be a good thing if we were going away from god in the right direction. I’m not sure this is the right direction.
Amazing! Love it. I was too poor to be a horse girl in high school. I knew some girls that were and this seems very much something they’d do!
I was sad it wasn’t about the Berlin-based DJ.
I didn’t even know “Horse Girl” is a word that existed.
It always meant “girls obsessed with horses” to me growing up. I remember some of the assholes at my high school giving them a hard time asking them if they want to fuck the horses.
This seems like a whole different thing entirely.
This is different, yes (it’s another gacha game with horse racing as the main concept, except the horses are anime girls). But the Venn Diagram between the two different breeds of “horse girls” is looking more and more like a circle with each passing day
One thing that makes it fun is each of the characters they add is based on an actual race-horse. For instance there’s a memetic and weird racer named Gold Ship, based on a horse of the same name that was similarly wacky and unpredictable.
That’s “horsey girl”.
Technically two words.
Amazing how much cultural cache horse racing industry propaganda has these days.
Organized “Pony play” has been going on for decades. I’d have to look back at Psychopathia Sexualis, but I think it’s also mentioned there.
Horse girl / boy has a very different meaning depending on the context.
It’s cool to see sexual content reinterpreted through a cultural lense and mainstreamed!
