The Essential Horse Temperament

Horses are generous and quite open-minded. In the Chinese Zodiac, they are the most hospitality-conscious sign. When they are busy with a project, they are unaware of events, time, and others around them.

The Horse’s key to emotional health is a distraction through activity. Horses need to keep busy; they do an audition, cook, play sports, home repairs, write plays, or engage in projects that hold their interest. A Horse’s home is their fortress, and they do not take kindly to busybodies who investigate snoop or pry into their private lives. They are good-hearted and possessive toward their spouses and children but must have authority and respect in their household. They work hard and long to provide sufficiently for their families and, in exchange, they expect loyalty and the freedom to be the king or queen of said castle.

Horses consider that this world and everything in it belongs to them. Whether it’s their school, their house, their car, or their spouse, it is all about them.
