Let`s to Horse!

Let`s to Horse!
This is another toy car I saw at Osu Kannon markets. I didn`t buy it - I just took a photo.

I really wonder what `Let`s to horse!` means. Maybe:
- Let`s ride a horse!
- Let`s ride two horses!
- Let`s horse around! (horse around = be silly)
- Let`s go to a place that has horses!
- Horses to let! (to let = rental)

Hmm. It`s a bad English mystery.

I think that it means -Let's go to a horse race! The car carries some racehorses.
Anyway, the cargo looks like newer than the car. Perhaps, it is fixed another cargo, isn't it? So, let's to horse!
My dictionary says that horse means ride a horse, actually.

`Let`s go to a horse race" - that`s possible too, I guess!
I`ve never heard `horse` used to mean `to ride a horse`. `Horse` used as a verb is very unusual, so I was surprised to find, in an internet dictionary, SEVEN uses of `horse` as a verb! But I`ve never heard anyone use any of them either.

Ha ha!
It's funny!
There are lots of strange English in Japan, I think.
Was there any horses in this cargo? 

OK, "Let's to Otto!"

Speaking of bad English...

- Let`s got to a place that has horses!

What on earth is that supposed to mean Otto? Is it Australian?

Please let me know teacher ;)

Well spotted, sir! I`m surprised my mum missed it...
I`ve corrected it now.
