Japanese ink drawing called "The Colt?"

Obscure art filter: seeking a Japanese (I think) pen and ink drawing of a horse titled "The Colt."
My elementary school library in (late 1970s, northern New Jersey) had a small collection of framed art that was available for loan. I still think about one print in that collection called "The Colt." If I heard the artist's name I'd recognize it; the painting was a black-on-white ink drawing of a horse in action. I'm fairly sure but not positive that the artist was Japanese. I can't remember specifically if the horse was running or kicking up his heels, but the painting conveyed a great deal of energy.
Does this any bells?

Response by poster: Wow, close but not the right colt.

Response by poster: Man, I'm no fun at a party. Also close but not the right one.

On looking further, I think "Ju Peon" is a really weird transliteration of Beihong Xu. Do any of his other colt prints look right?
