In Chinese mythology, the horse has always stood as a powerful symbol of strength, freedom, and vitality. The “heavenly horse,” or Tianma (天馬), is said to soar effortlessly through the skies, connecting the realms of heaven and earth. One can imagine its mane streaming through the clouds embodying both grace and determination. Within the Chinese zodiac, those born under the sign of the horse inherit that same vivacious energy. They live with enthusiasm, drawing others in with their humor and charm. Impulsivity may at times lead them astray, but their optimism and resilience always guide them forward. Wherever they go, their warmth and vitality seem to stir the air itself, leaving behind a soft echo of hooves - and joy. This year, we’re introducing a theme for our fair: 萬馬齊心 人人歡樂 - When ten thousand horses move as one, everyone rejoices. It speaks to the harmony that arises when strength is united with purpose, when independent spirits gallop together towards a shared horizon. The horse, for all its freedom, also embodies the delicate balance of individuality and unity. Join us as we come together to welcome the year of the horse as one vibrant community!
