The "Horse Drawing" meme features an image of a horse, with its rear half rendered in realistic detail and its front half depicted as a simplistic, almost childlike stick-figure drawing. Originating around 2017-2018, it gained traction on platforms like Reddit and Twitter. The meme's meaning revolves around the stark contrast between a strong, well-executed beginning and a poorly finished or declining end. It's used to humorously represent projects, tasks, or situations that start with great effort, skill, or ambition but gradually deteriorate in quality, coherence, or completion. It's a popular way to express a sense of 'giving up' or 'phoning it in' after a good start, often with a self-deprecating or relatable tone about creative or work struggles.
