Best Answer

The Greeks invented the games to honour health, beauty, and their Gods. Only Greek mmales were allowed to play in the games. The Greek men competed in the nude.

This even was an all male affair as any woman found observing the games was subject to execution.

Did males or females race horses in the ancient Olympics?

The Olympics originated in Greece, a primarily patriarchal society. Participants had to be free men who spoke Greek. That being the case it is unlikely that girls were involved in any aspect of horse racing in the ancient games. Most of the games and the politics surrounding them were related to the practice of war...and participants were often injured or killed.
