Horse Folder

Jacob Lenard (born: ), better known online as Horse Folder (formerly Lenstar Productions or lemurboy123), is an American YouTube animator/cartoonist that specializes in 2D animation who is best known for his Mugman and Evaporate series.
==History==
Jacob Lenard joined YouTube in 2006 under the alias lemurboy07. On that channel, he uploaded a variety of content, including animations and gaming videos. Evidence suggests the channel was still active as late as January 2008.https://archive.froast.io/forum/403327 The lemurboy07 account was later terminated, and so he made a new account, lemurboy12, on February 26, 2008. 
Lenard created his new account, then known as lemurboy123, on April 9, 2010, after losing access to the lemurboy12 account.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7tHutSYrd8 For the first four years of its life, uploads mostly consisted of random animations, Source Filmmaker videos and other unusual content.
In October 2014, he began making an animated series titled Mugman, which revolved around a naive mug named Mugman and his friends in the world of Wedgewood. In 2016, the series would begin suffer many creative difficulties on Lenard's part, which resulted in several cancellations. After many attempts to bring back life into the show (along with the generally obnoxious fanbase the cartoon had gained since its inception), Lenard finally pulled the plug in December 2017. As of 2018, he has no current plans for future Mugman content.
During Mugman's run, Lenard created two other cartoons that are still uploaded to the channel today, Plancy's World (a Dora the Explorer parody) and Evaporate (a surreal series of videos based on his dreams).
In February 2018, Lenard premiered a new animated web cartoon titled Pike's Lagoon, which revolves around the antics of Pike, a shy "two-toed seachuck" who lives underwater, along with her other aquatic friends.
In 2020, he, along with a bunch of talented artists and voice actors, started work on Loose Ends, and the first episode was uploaded on November 19, 2020.
Alongside Lenard's regular cartoons, he also occasionally uploads one-off shorts such as The Adventures of Salt Man (a parody of 60s cartoons), Beauty and the Buzz-Kill (a short revolving around Sammy), Virtual Mario (a surreal Mario Bros. animation) and many more. On February 26, 2022, he announced he would stop doing series videos and released the Evaporate finale, which was later privated.
On November 15, 2023, he accidentally deleted all his videos he made from 2022 to 2023, but later re-uploaded his 2022-2023 videos he used to have on his channel.
==Controversy==
On March 2021, Lenard was accused of abusing Liz Wedekind in 2015, the voice actress of Johnny from Mugman for being transgender, as well as some negative comments regarding the LGBT community. After the allegations, it was confirmed that production for Loose Ends was officially delayed. In response, Lenard denied the supposed abuse in 2015, saying Wedekind didn't transition until after they severed ties. He did, however, address and apologize for his comments on the LGBT community,https://web.archive.org/web/20210328175148/https://twitter.com/JacobLenstar/status/1376230481004437509 Wedekind also made a thread on Lenard on her side of the situation
https://twitter.com/liz_irl/status/1369038730908995586 , Lenard then secured the majority of his social media accounts (only to unsecure them and delete one of them), and hidden all of his videos (only to disable comments instead). He took a hiatus for a month, then returned with a video called "Hold Yer Fire". He took another hiatus for 2 months, and returned with an Evaporate short afterwards.
