Reviews
For Armor Horse Racing , the young people, wearing white headband without helmets, lead their horses by bridle in the manner of Otsubo. The scene of people and horses unifying together and running like winds with the flapping flags succeeded for generations, was so strong and impressive.◎Attentions when you see: be careful of heatstroke, for Soma is very hot and humid in summer. We must not look down the cavalcade from higher position, nor go cross the cavalcade
