It did. The state show uses enormous puppets for the horses, and it's just mind-blowing, the incredible skill the puppeteers have. I missed bits of action here and there onstage because I was so mesmerized watching the ears on the puppet horses flick back and forth.

Here's a 2 minute commercial for the British production of it. It can't fully capture seeing them live but it gives you a good look at how freaking amazing those puppets are:
