When you close your eyes and think about a horse, what do you see? I see a stallion gracefully jumping over a thick log fence. I see another running free with no barriers in front of him. He’s just galloping with his mane waving in the air.

So, it makes sense that if a horse is your spirit animal, he or she represents you overcoming any obstacles or adversity in your life. Taking it even further, you need to have faith and confidence in yourself that you can indeed cross any obstacle placed in your path, knowing that you will reap the rewards on the other side of those obstacles.

The horse also represents freedom—breaking free, but also journeying. Sometimes we see horses carrying a person, and they are both embarking on all kinds of journeys, so the horse is signifying that now is the time to set your soul free, and jump over those hurdles in your life with strength and courage.

This spirit animal reminds you that you have the power to carry you through anything, with motivation and vitality, and that you have the freedom to do anything you want to do.

If the horse spirit animal comes galloping into your life, you need to step back and assess where you are. It’s time to look at what you’ve been expending your energy on, and whether you’ve been giving away your power or personal freedom. Have you been allowing people to control you? Or are they treating you harshly?

Positive traits of the horse spirit animal:

  • Social
  • Easy to get along with
  • Welcoming
  • The life of the party
  • Popular
  • Loyal
  • Competent

Negative traits of the horse spirit animal:

  • Reckless
  • Doesn’t want to be tethered
  • Non-conformist
  • Promiscuous
  • Fear of intimacy
  • Overbearing
  • Cannot accept defeat

Call on your horse spirit animal when you:

  • Need to be reminded that you are only human
  • Need to stop denying your feelings and start to handle them and rise above them
  • Are approaching a new stage in your personal or professional life
  • Need to get “back in the saddle”
  • Need to channel your inner strength

The horse spirit animal works hard to remind you to take care of your emotional, mental and spiritual well-being.
