Chagu Chagu umako, early summer

Chagu Chagu umako 

Chagu chagu umako is a festival in Morioka. 
This year, 73 horses attended the festival and walked from 
Onikoshi sozen shrine to Hachiman shrine for about 12 km.




































Some horses walked with foals which were born this spring






and sometime they got panic
