Let’s make this year so fun we’ll be jumping for joy!

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!

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 fluff out the Mane of Vigor!

Let's fluff out the Mane of Vigor!

Here’s a recommended one-liner when you want to incorporate a superb horse-themed metaphor: “the mane of vigor.” It’s an unfamiliar phrase, but once you hear it, it’s easy to picture—such a lovely choice of words right on that exquisite line.

The addition of the word “softly” (fuwatto) also conveys a sense of lightness and hope for the future.

When writing this phrase on a New Year’s card, an illustration of a horse running with its magnificent mane streaming would suit it perfectly.

If you’re good at drawing, try sketching it yourself!

Clear your homework at top speed with horse power!

Clear your homework at top speed with horse power!

When we think of horses, we get an image of them dashing swiftly, don’t we? Inspired by that light and speedy image, here’s a message that cleverly conveys the idea of “let’s finish our winter break homework quickly.” Homework assigned over a long vacation can feel gloomy if it’s left undone.

So send a message to your friends encouraging them to finish as soon as possible! Receiving this message will, of course, motivate them—and since you’re the one sending it, you’ll feel, “If I’m sending this, I’ve got to finish quickly too!” and get fired up yourself.

This year, let’s get back up like a horse even when we fall!

This year, let’s get back up like a horse even when we fall!

Foals are able to stand about one to two hours after they are born.

It’s also said that if they fall, they often get back up quickly as long as they aren’t seriously hurt.

Like those horses, this message conveys the idea of getting back on your feet and facing forward, even if you stumble.

When studying or practicing doesn’t go well, or when you fail, it’s easy to be dragged down by negative feelings and find it hard to stand up again.

But if you can share, with your friends, the determination in these words to not be defeated by negative emotions and to keep trying, you might be able to do even better in the new year than you did in the last.

Let’s run and run and run like crazy this year, too!

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!

A year to dash through with laughter!

A year to dash through with laughter!

Let’s make the new year one filled with endless laughter! These words convey that feeling.

The phrase “dash through” overlaps with the image of a horse running swiftly and gallantly.

Even when we live each day with all our might, it’s far better to spend it with a smile than with a pained expression, isn’t it? Whether you’re studying hard, immersing yourself in lessons, or of course playing with friends, try using these words with the resolve to keep smiling—words that encourage not only your friends but yourself as well.
