What if the male counterpart of Umamusume are rabbit-boys (Usagidanshi)? Both horses and rabbits have long ears on the top of their heads. Both eat carrots. There's also still a little tie to racing, with those mechanic rabbit/hare things used to make greyhounds race. Rabbit-boys might be specialized in making others run, aka Torenas. Little extra to be poethic: Umamusume's teams have names of stars the sun is a star; rabbits in Japan are associated with the moon.
Even better than what I was thinking.
We have the dedicated sport.
Usagidanshi - Handsome Showjumping.
