Year of the Horse
We have been sharing Chinese New Year Printables since the Year of the Monkey in 2016, and these printables are updated annually to reflect that year’s zodiac animal.
Chinese New Year—the Year of the Horse—starts on 17 February 2026.
Your Chinese zodiac is Horse if you were born in one of these years: 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2001, 2014, and 2026.

How To Use Printable Place Cards
Whether celebrating at home, organizing a classroom event, or planning a community gathering, these place cards are a simple yet effective way to enhance your decor and impress your guests.
These place cards are not only stylish but also incredibly versatile. You can use them as:
- Name cards for dinner guests.
- Label dishes on a buffet table.
- Toppers for cellophane favor bags* filled with treats.
There are 8 designs in total featuring both the gold version of our horse and the full-color version (which has also been turned into a Build a Horse Printable Craft for kids to make).
To show you what these look like once assembled (in the loosest sense of the word!), below are the ones I made for the Year of the Monkey.
Your printables will have the correct Chinese Zodiac animal for the Year of the Horse!
*The cards are approximately 7.5cm/3″ wide, so bear that in mind when buying favor bags to fill.
