Each horse girl wears a ribbon or other accessory on one ear (or wears a hat that tilts toward one ear) if it's on the girl's right ear (viewer's left) then that girl's namesake was a stallion, or if it's on the girl's left ear (viewer's right) then her namesake was a mare. Most of the horse girls are named after famous legendary Japanese racehorses and are inspired by their careers and personalities. All while Kitasan is at odds against the crowd favorite in the racecourse Duramente. The third season features both Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond as the main characters, focusing on the relationship of the two which will end up becoming rivals in the race course. Like the horse she is based upon, she suffers multiple injuries and struggles to remain one of the best racers. The second season features Tokai Teio as the main character, and draws focus to other side characters such as Mejiro Mcqueen, Rice Shower, and Mihono Bourbon. On her way to school, she visits the race track and instantly falls in love with Silence Suzuka's style, becoming determined to race on the same team as her.

She's determined to fulfill her promise to her mother to become the best horse girl in Japan.

The first season features Special Week, a high school horse girl from the countryside, who has just transferred to Tracen. The best of these horse girls go to train at Tokyo's Tracen Academy, hopefully moving on to fame and fortune as both racers and idols. In a world very much like our own, great race horses of the past have a chance to be reborn as 'horse girls'-girls with the ears and tails of horses as well as their speed and endurance.
