Overseas Umamusume: Pretty Derby fans can now send viral racehorse Haru Urara gifts

Overseas fans of Umamusume: Pretty Derby can now show their love for viral racehorse Haru Urara by sending her gifts.

More than two decades after her final race, Haru Urara, a Japanese racehorse who never won a single race, is winning hearts around the world thanks to Umamusume: Pretty Derby, a mobile game that transforms real-life racehorses into anime girls.

In the game, she’s portrayed as a cheerful but struggling underdog, with intentionally low stats that make her one of the toughest characters to win with. However, that hasn’t stopped fans from trying, and it’s part of what’s made her a global favorite.

So far, her renewed popularity has sparked a wave of tributes and emotional fan posts from overseas fans, with some pledging to get her a win no matter the cost. However, Haru fans outside Japan can now share their support for the retired racehorse by sending her a delicious treat.

Haru Urara fans can now send her gifts

A Japanese vendor is now offering a special delivery service that allows international Umamusume fans to send a bundle of ryegrass directly to Haru Urara. Each gift costs 6,000 yen (around $40 USD), including shipping.

There’s also a 2,500 yen ($17 USD) option for those who want to make a smaller, anonymous donation. Machine-translated scans of the website reveal that each box contains about five kg of fresh grass, which is roughly enough to feed Haru Urara two meals.

It’s also important to note that the site limits the number of shipments per day to avoid any wastage and to ultimately stop Haru from chowing down on a buffet of grass every day (even if she does deserve it).

The farm where Haru Urara now lives also recently thanked international fans for their outpouring of support, writing: “Haru Urara is doing super well, and honestly, she’s probably healthier and more energetic than I am!”

While she may never have won a single race in her five-year career, the lovable horse continues to prove popular, and now, with added overseas attention, she’s going to be eating the premium grass she so deserves.
