It’s the perfect line for a message to friends and companions who love fun.
There are so many little things in everyday life that make you chuckle.

Each time, you’ll both smile, and unforgettable memories will pile up.

Let’s dash through this year with energy!
It’s a phrase that really captures a lively, childlike energy.
The word “dash,” inspired by the zodiac horse, conveys a sense of dynamism and strength, making it perfect for a New Year’s resolution.
It’s also striking that it invites the listener with “let’s dash,” as if saying, “let’s move forward together.” Add this phrase alongside a horse illustration, and you’re sure to have a stylish New Year’s card! Writing it in brush calligraphy could help express a sense of speed, too.
Let’s make lots of happy memories this year, too.
When you look back on your memories and a fun moment comes to mind, the feelings from that time return and you can feel happy, right? This is a positive message about continuing to create enjoyable memories this year as well—memories that will make you feel happy whenever you recall them.
It calls on us to spend the year savoring the fun and to turn those experiences into lasting memories.
It also emphasizes leaving behind many memories, conveying a sense of supporting one another along the way.
Let’s run and run and run like crazy this year, too!
Perfect for New Year’s cards to friends who love sports or are always working hard! It conveys the message: “Let’s keep giving our all, like a horse that dashes forward with energy.” For friends who play sports that involve running, it directly says, “Keep running lots and doing your best!” For friends who are dedicated to something, it encourages them to “keep charging ahead without getting discouraged.” Send your warm words of support!
Let’s make this year so fun we’ll be jumping for joy!
In equestrian sports, horses hop and jump over obstacles.
If your child wants to make this year as joyful as a horse leaping, why not use this phrase? It’s not just about having fun; being so happy that you feel like jumping for joy is truly wonderful, isn’t it? It may be difficult to have days like that all year long, but it’s important to make your own effort to create a year that’s that much fun.
If your child wants to build joyful days together with the friends to whom they’re sending New Year’s cards, encourage them to share this phrase.
This year, we’re going full speed ahead like a horse!
A short phrase that overlays a forward-looking, powerful message—“Let’s charge full speed ahead this year!”—with the image of a horse.
The words “full throttle” convey the determination to give it our all, filling this message with the positivity and energy perfect for the New Year.
It’s a line uniquely suited to a Year of the Horse New Year’s card, and simply adding “like a horse” gives it a witty, thoughtful flair.
It’s the kind of phrase that can boost not only the recipient’s spirits but your own motivation as well.
Let’s take on the challenge with the momentum of a horse again this year!
This message encourages us to tackle everything with the vigor of a horse.
Some children may feel anxious because they can’t see what lies ahead, or give up thinking, “What’s the point?” and find it hard to take on new or difficult challenges.
But these words convey the idea: in the new year, let’s try our best to take on challenges without losing to the horse’s momentum.
Use this phrase to cheer on friends who struggle to take that first step—and to say, “I’ll work hard too, so let’s do our best together!”
