>Name origin: Mihono (came from his owner’s company Mihono International. He was trained in Ritto.) + Bourbon (not the alcoholic drink, but the Bourbon Dynasty, who were French royals)

>Mihono Bourbon’s pedigree suggests a short/mile/speed aptitude but his trainer, Toyama Tameo, wanted to lengthen his distance range and started doing hardcore Sparta training on him.
>In contrast to regular horses, who would probably not be able to handle more than one slope training session a day, Mihono Bourbon managed to handle four of them a day with ease (and even five at one point), making people wonder if he was actually a real horse.
>After his training, he always eats a lot of grass.
>Despite all the controversial Sparta training he was put through, he was obedient and complied with all this.

>He also had a lot of nicknames:
>Cyborg: People speculated that Mihono Bourbon was not a real horse because of how hard his training was and because of his very bulky body, which influences horse girl Mihono Bourbon’s personality.
>Incline Prodigy: Because of how many slope training sessions he had a day, he managed to do very well on racecourses with hills. This is her Uma Musume nickname.
>Precise Machinery: He is able to run at about the same pace from start to finish.
>The Winds of Sparta: His JRA catchphrase.
>The Chestnut Super Express: Because of his chestnut coloured hair.

>Mihono Bourbon has always been a tame horse. It’s also the reason why he complied with all the hard training.
>After retiring, Mihono Bourbon became very lazy (probably due to the Spartan training he received before). He also likes to slide his body through the floor under a side lying position because he was too lazy to get up and walk (don’t ask me how, but he just did it).
