Horse Ji (吉)

He is a strong yet delightfully chubby white horse, dressed in the full regalia of an imperial saddle. Though adorned for ceremony, he is very much “off duty”—the face belts removed, leaving only a soft tassel that dances with his boundless energy. There is gallantry in his stance, but also warmth, humour, and an unmistakable sense of freedom. He feels ready—not for battle, but for life.

The name Ji (吉) means good fortune. It is a quiet blessing—one that speaks of auspicious beginnings, favourable winds, and blessings that arrive in gentle, unexpected ways. Horse Ji carries this meaning with him: strength paired with kindness, dignity softened by joy.

As we enter the Year of the Horse according to the Chinese Zodiac, Horse Ji carries a wish from my heart to yours:
