Horses are strong, energetic, cheerful, friendly, and very outgoing individuals. They are very intelligent and capable of multi-tasking, even though sometimes they don't finish what they begin because they're constantly chasing new opportunities. Horses have a good sense of humor and are great at making friends.
Sometimes they can be a little self-centered and headstrong. They are impulsive and will act on their own accord without much regard for what anyone else thinks or says. Their spontaneity means that they can be easily distracted and lack the tenacity to see things through. Horses are likely to lose their temper if things don't go as they plan or if others can't keep up with them.
