umaya saru 厩猿 monkey in a horse stable
Monkeys were seen as protector animals for horses
and their amulets were kept in the horse stables.

Following Chinese traditions that keeping a monkey in a stable would protect horses from diseases and accidents, the Japanese gave monkeys the important role of horse guardians, honorifically called the umayagami (厩神, "stables god").
This belief gave rise to two related practices.
First, both samurais and farmers covered their quivers with monkey hides so as to harness the protective power of the monkey over horses.
Second, people drew horse pictures on ema (絵馬, lit. "picture horse") "votive wooden plaques" and offered them at Shinto shrines to ensure the health of their horses.
"A large number of ema from various historical periods and regions of Japan depict monkeys pulling horses, providing rich evidence that the monkey functioned as guardian of horses." Monkeys were believed to scare away other animals and pests, and farmers in southern Japan fed monkeys in order to protect their fields.
