The Metal Horse personality
A Horse with steel in its spine: bold, direct, and harder to sway.
The Metal Horse stands out from other Horse years by adding edge, discipline, and a stronger will to an already spirited sign. Horse energy is fast, social, independent, and driven by movement. Metal makes that energy more focused and more exacting.
