Green Makibao

Synopsis

Midori Makibao is a compact white racehorse whose wide nostrils make him look more like a donkey than a thoroughbred. Even so, with sheer guts and quickness as his weapons, Makibao comes out on top in one major race after another. At the start of his career, Makibao struggled to make his debut as a racehorse because of his unusual appearance and a number of other setbacks. But he had strong reasons to push through those difficulties: there was a lifelong rival, a horse named Superhorse Cascade, whom Makibao had to defeat. On top of that, he was determined to win back his mother, a horse who had been taken away to repay the debt on the farm. Many hardships lie in store for Makibao, yet he keeps pushing forward through race after race and rises to become a great racehorse.
