Fun representation for the year of the horse

On a walk through an historical area of Kawagoe I came across a display at a shrine with "Rody", pictured. "Rody" is an inflatable horse designed for children. I always thought "Rody" was a donkey, but it turns out that he is a horse! Rody is very popular in Japan, and not just as a toy. You can get Rody merchandise here, including mini Rody, which are very popular. 

I was equally impressed and entertained when I stumbled upon the Rody horses at the shrine today! It is very clever to use them as a decoration for the year of the horse. They do look a bit kitsch, but I appreciate and admire the idea! And up close, the little mini Rody look so cute! Its certainly not something you see every day. 

Another character that might work well in this vein, is Bullseye from Toy Story might work well too! Or Maximus from Disney's "Tangled"!  Have you seen any original displays like this one for the year of the horse?
