The horse mascot with a "unique" appearance in My Phong ward (Dong Thap) immediately became the focus of discussion as soon as it was launched. Different from the majestic appearance often seen in provincial mascots, this horse version has a slender yellow body, stylish "eyelash extension" eyes and a bright, unconventional beard.
Amidst the bustling atmosphere of the days leading up to Binh Ngo Tet 2026, the "horse girl" of the Mekong Delta appears as a humorous highlight, bringing gentle joy.
Many opinions compare this to the most "trendy" horse mascot of the year, thanks to its makeup style that catches up with all trends.
Besides the positive feedback, this design also faces no small amount of skepticism. Some opinions assess that the mascot's shape is very different from the appearance of a horse.
However, the horse mascot in My Phong ward is not a product ordered from professional companies. This version is completely handcrafted by teachers and students in the locality. The work was created to respond to the Spring Decoration Contest, decorating at the ward cultural house to serve people.
The exploitation of recycled materials to create mascot shapes has shown the ingenuity and great creativity of teachers and students. The locality wants to send a strong message about environmental protection, and at the same time educate students about a green lifestyle right in Tet entertainment and decoration activities.
Before the diverse opinions on the aesthetics of the horse mascot, local people have revised and completed it to ensure harmony. This receptiveness further enhances the story of the My Phong horse mascot in the eyes of tourists from near and far.
