The Legend of the Horse

According to Chinese tradition, the order of the zodiac was decided by a great celestial race. The free-spirited horse galloped towards the finish with determination, only to be startled by the cunning snake entwined around its hoof. Despite the setback, the horse’s resilience secured its place as the seventh animal in the lunar cycle.

Those born in the Year of the Horse (2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, and every 12th preceding year) are said to be independent, charismatic, adventurous, and naturally inspiring.
