Written By: Susan Le

Date: Feb 3, 2026

Every new year brings with it a sense of possibility. It’s a moment to pause, reflect, and welcome what’s ahead with hope and intention. The Year of the Horse is known for its energy, movement, and adventurous spirit, making it a beautiful time to celebrate little ones who are growing, exploring, and discovering the world in their own bold way.

This year, we’re excited to introduce Pony Express, our limited edition print created to celebrate the Year of the Horse with warmth, imagination, and playful charm.

The Year of the Horse

In 2026, the Year of the Horse begins on February 17th. The Horse is the 7th zodiac animal in the cycle. 

The Year of the Horse is associated with energy, freedom, and adventure. It represents confidence, movement, and bold imagination, qualities we so often see in little ones as they grow and explore the world.

In many families, zodiac years are seen as meaningful moments for reflection and intention. 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse, which adds warmth, creativity, and powerful energy to the Horse’s already spirited nature. Fire symbolizes spark and inspiration, making this a year often linked to strong new beginnings and forward momentum.

Together, the Fire Horse represents courage, imagination, and joyful possibility, a beautiful reminder of the vibrant, adventurous spirit of childhood.
