Umamusume: Pretty Derby Creators Share Guidelines For Fans Who Want To Visit Real Race Horses

What makes Umamusume: Pretty Derby stand out is its characters being modeled after real-life famous racehorses. As the sports simulation game gains traction in North America, it might spark curiosity among new fans to meet these horses in person. With this in mind, the game’s creator Cygames has provided tips for people intending to visit stables.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby has been a massive success in Japan since its initial mobile launch in 2021, leading to the creation of manga, anime, and even a stage version. However, following its global release last month, positive word-of-mouth, such as streams from well-known creators like Northernlion and Vinesauce, has significantly boosted its popularity. As a result, this week it reached an all-time high of over 50,000 concurrent players on Steam.

It appears this has sparked additional interest among fans eager to see the actual racehorses that inspired the Umamusume characters, as a BlueSky user mentioned that appointments to visit Haru Urara, a well-known horse for her prolonged losing streak, are already fully booked for the month. The post also shared a screenshot from a Twitter user asking fans to “kindly show respect and adhere to the rules”.

The guidelines for visiting can now be found on the Umamasume: Pretty Derby website, encouraging potential visitors to reach out to the Kyousoba Furusato Information Center instead of the stables themselves for a tour. Additionally, it is important to note that horses are highly sensitive creatures. A change that appears minor to humans could be startling, frightening, or stressful for them. To ensure the safety and wellness of the horses, all Umamusume enthusiasts are asked to adhere to all rules and exhibit proper etiquette while visiting Japanese stables.

If you’re planning to visit horse stables in Japan, you should follow the guidelines provided here. However, if you want to visit stables elsewhere, make sure to check out local resources for relevant information and rules before your visit.
