At that time, the hunting that horsemen did Kisha (to shoot an arrow with riding a horse) at animals was called 'oumonoi,' and there were also other games such as 'Ushioumono' (cows-hunting event, a skill of an archery) but only 'Inuoumono' had been preserved.
当時は獣類をウマで追い騎射をする競技を総称して「追物射」（おうものい）と言い、牛を追う「牛追物」などもあったが、犬を追う「犬追物」だけが残った。
