SARGA.CO — Uma Musume Pretty Derby, the game developed by Cygames and now officially released in its English global version, has become a hot topic among gamers and anime fans. Combining horse racing, character "moe-fication," and training simulation, the game has gained attention for its unique character designs and imaginative world—especially because all the characters are reincarnations of legendary racehorses in the form of girls.
One of the most attention-grabbing characters is Gold Ship, fondly known as GolShi. Known for her eccentric and unpredictable personality, GolShi also has the most absurd victory pose in the game: she kicks directly toward the camera—basically toward the player. It's just an animation, of course, but how scary would it be if that kick were real?
That curiosity leads us to a serious question:
How powerful would a kick from a character like Gold Ship be if we based it on the strength of a real horse?
According to data from Strathorn Farm, a horse farm in Scotland, a horse’s kick can generate between 1,200 to 2,000 PSI (pounds per square inch)—equivalent to being hit by a small car going at 32 km/h (about 20 mph).
Horses naturally possess powerful hind leg muscles, as they need to protect themselves from predators. With powerful muscles and spring-like tendons working together, a horse’s kick can be a deadly biological weapon.
In the lore of Uma Musume, the characters are described as humanoid beings reincarnated from legendary racehorses from another world. They have horse ears, tails, incredible speed, high stamina—and apparently, physical strength on par with real horses.
Interestingly, the Uma Musume anime staff once mentioned that there are no ordinary horses in the Uma Musume world—only the girls who inherit the spirit and strength of legendary racehorses.
So yes, it’s quite reasonable to imagine that Gold Ship’s animated kick would have the strength of a real horse.
Which means... that cute little animation is, technically, a deadly attack in real life.
Marking the national energy company’s commitment to supporting the growth of equestrian sports in the country.
