I was born in the year of the Horse
characteristics include: loyal, courageous, ambitious, intelligent, adventurous. Always thriving for freedom and endurance, always striving to be different from the rest. High-spirited, enthusiastic and a symbol of independence.
All things a horse is but I'm clearly not lol well, except intelligent and ambitious. These were my strongest traits in school. Nowadays....meh. I also do try to be different than the rest of the crowd, in my own wacky, irrational yet sometimes surprisingly effective way.
Horses certainly are beautiful, amazing animals. One of man's oldest and best companions right there with dogs.
It explains why I resonate so deeply with Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, other than it being one of DreamWorks's best movies.
