I heard horses when I read that. I always will.
The only purpose bought horse coins I have is the 5-coin Stock Horse set from Perth. Which was minted in Germany. One was issued every year. The first year I had to buy it from some guy in Canada. Truly an international coin, but since this is a US thread, I won't have to image them.
Saved me from having to look for b-day gifts for five years. I was hoping for a 10-year series, but you can only pose horses in so many ways...
I guess I might as well lift the restriction on New Jersey coppers. Let's show the Jersey, boys!

Expand the subject to Ancients and there are some spectacular equestrian designs preserved for posterity.
Now that this thread has veered into the territory of non US coins, it would be welcome to have included for completeness some of the Ancients that set the horse on coins precedent.

I read she was whimsical and a very pleasant person. You're right the stern look, on the coin, is a tough one.

A conder token from Cambridgeshire, 1799.
A little OT, but saw this wonderful creation at a snow festival. Maybe one of you in a snowy climate will get inspired.
Is that what the Delaware quarter would look like designed by the guy who did the Wyoming one?

Since @OriginalDan already got the Baldwin, here is its immediate predecessor (and the story behind both if you have the time to read: https://coinweek.com/dealers-companies/kagins/holy-sht-thats-rare-a-horseman-10-of-a-different-color/ ):
