Today, January 31, marks the beginning of the New Year according to the Chinese calendar. 2014 is the Year of the Wood Horse. According to Chinese astral insight, this is a year of action and change. As we gallop off into the new year, we take a look back at our favorite vintage and antique horse art and objects at the Manhattan Art & Antiques Center.
