Yuma, Mensia, and Ulanga are straddling horses. About ten years ago, I moved to Dubai alone when I was 18 years old, and now I am a female jockey belonging to the Al-Ariam endurance team in Dubai.


Most of the long distance race goes through the vast landscape. When Yuma was shaken by a horse for a long time, he was concentrating so that he could respond to that rhythm, and eventually it seemed to be like a unification with the universe. "I feel something strong enough to be able to ride a horse for a long distance for a long time," Yuma says.


As the horses travel through the desert, the sun is blurred with soaring dust.


"The endurance race in Dubai will run roughly 120 km, 160 km distance." 120 km is equivalent to the distance from Tokyo to Izu.


When Yuma came to Dubai for the first time, I planned to stay only for 2 weeks to see a horse ......


I actually took a horse in the desert and met the people who trained there, so I strongly thought that I would be a horsemen of Endurance here and decided to emigrate.


"It is my favorite daily routine to go to the library at 3 p.m."


"And at 4 pm we will run horses in the desert."


"For me it's a very attractive place, the organic pattern of sand is fascinating, especially when the sun rises and sinks, the sound and color change as I get the most impressed It is a scenery. "


Yuma straddles the horses in the desert wide enough to see the horizon. "When you see a horse and you see such a moving landscape, you can see the way you should go, so I think that you like Dubai spreading this desert."
