Horses of nearby villages are trained for the situation, to walk or "dance" on the road to the shrine among the noise of all the visitors. It takes about a month to train a horse properly. The first horse in the procession is the most important, often coming from Kida 木田　village. With the ageing of the villagers, it becomes more and more difficult to find horse trainers. .
