About Horseplay

Horseplay is inspired by the circus as a symbol of overcoming challenges and finding triumph over fear, exuding the unstoppable energy of the Fire Horse. Each of the horses complement the balance of the Chinese Zodiac Calendar through their poses, capturing the essence of the Fire Horse within a playful world.
