There is no doubt that horse racing culture also includes the worship of heroes. In Tibetan areas, horse racing festivals in some places follow Gesar's custom of holding horse racing and archery before each expedition.

Gesar was born in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. He resisted foreign invasion, defended his homeland, opened up territory and established a mountain country. He made outstanding achievements in the war and made great contributions to national reunification. Therefore, it has been praised and praised by the world for thousands of years. Gesar himself won the horse race and was hailed as king by the masses.

Therefore, in the Tibetan people's hero worship belief, strength, courage and wisdom have become the objects people yearn for and worship, and become the symbol of measuring men's value.

For a long time, Gesar has become the object of pride and worship of Tibetan people. Over time, this worship custom culture is deeply rooted among the Tibetan people and integrated into horse racing activities, thus forming the brave character of the Tibetan people who have lived a nomadic life on the grassland for a long time.
