Sticking a girt horse in it is hardly going to make an iota of difference. Why do we need something that purports to be 'a homage to the beauty and proportions of the horse'? I thought we were a nation of dog lovers, anyway.... and you know what happens to horses, don't you? If they want ridiculously over-sized animals in the South East, There's already a bloody great White Elephant on the banks of the Thames at Greenwich....
