the fact that people going through very difficult times said she kept them going made me cry.

i hope she’s happy and racing with the other horses again. i hope she knows just how much people loved her. as a race horse, a little granny, and now forever as an game character.

u-chan is my favorite uma. shes silly and cute and sweet. i finally got her to win first place in the career mode just the other day.

her story touched me in that she kept trying despite every loss and hearing that she kept a very vibrant and happy energy around her when she’d race made me happy.

like i’ve never been this invested in horses

i never really cried over IRL animals, only movies and such.

but man, learning about silence suzuka, rice shower, and haru urara really did something to me. i can’t think about silence suzuka without tearing up.
