Think it needs a rebranding if it is to be saved.
An unusual sounding name is not enough.
It’s problem is that it looks too much like a normal horse, and we have plenty of them already.
Does it have any unusual selling points? Such as venom, extra limbs, hidden wing sacs.
Or could it be presented in a cuter way?

Loads of hidden wing sacs. Loads

Tie-in with the My Little Pony franchise.

Onagers are the cutest, nerdiest horse-donkeys. I think I saw this one's mum last time I was at Chester Zoo.

Klang, I didn't know your full name was E. hemionus kiang. I bet you got them hopping with your smooth rhymes in the 1930s.

Not Pegasus-size though

How do you know??
