Capturing the spirited charm of the original painting, the designer gave this little horse a playful twist: a fluffy, style-able mane in eight different colors. Anyone who buys the horse becomes its hairstylist, free to shape the mane into double ponytails, buns, braids, or any look they fancy.

Many fans online say that they see themselves in this scraggly steed:"My hair might be a mess, but I'm always charging forward!" Some office workers joke its unruly mane perfectly captures their look on Monday mornings.
