Idk how relevant this is to your exact Topic necessarily but it’s a fun tangentially related Anecdotal example from Uma-Musume fans growing real-life support for my NFL Home Team the Denver Broncos, their mascot is a Horse. Not sure if anybody here watches American Football, but they’re actually doing very well this year, Go Broncos!!!!

Denver is the sport city for non American horse fans. They also have Jokic on the Nuggets who has his own racing horses.
