Horses are friends in everyday life, but also a sacred animal in the Mongolian religious life. A horse is the only thing that transforms into a stretcher to bring the dead back to eternity. Only a horse has the mysterious power to carry the Mongolian priest to heaven, earth and river to find the souls of the sick to heal the H'mong.

According to Ms. Chu Thi Duong, Vice Chairman of Bac Ha District People's Committee, the maintenance of the Bac Ha Traditional Horse Racing is one of the local efforts to honor the good cultural values of ethnic minorities in the Northern Uplands Ha in general and praised the uniqueness and emotional attachment between upland people and animals who are extremely close and familiar in their daily life and spiritual life.
