First to the Gate
Your Aries horse has one setting for mornings: already at the gate. Ruled by Mars and born at the very start of the zodiac, this horse (or pony, who may be even keener) wants to be first at everything, from the walk down the lane to the gallop across a fresh field. Ears forward, nostrils wide, tail up like a flag.
Underneath the rush is a big, honest heart. An Aries horse tells you exactly how they feel, usually with their whole body, and forgives fast. They love a person who keeps up, laughs at the enthusiasm and never leaves them waiting too long for anything. Big feelings, bigger strides, zero grudges.
Five things that make your Aries horse tick
- First Through the GateThe gate is a race. It swings open and your Aries is already halfway to the far hedge.
- Ears Always ForwardThose ears point at the next thing before you see it. Aries lives facing the future.
- Quick to ForgiveA squabble over the best shade is forgotten in minutes. Aries is far too busy for grudges.
- The Victory RollFresh from a bath, your Aries rolls in the first dusty spot. They get up looking thrilled.
- Leads from the FrontOut hacking with friends, this horse wants the front of the line. They march there happily.
How to love a Aries horse
- Be at the gate on time. Punctuality earns deep Aries respect.
- Give them something new to investigate, like a cone.
- Let them stretch their legs with friends, since a fire sign loves room to move.
- Praise them out loud and often. Aries likes hearing they were first and fabulous.
- End the excitement with a slow scratch on the withers.
Very Aries behavior
- At the gate before you have even found your boots.
- Rolls the second the bath is over, every single time.
- Turns the walk to the field into a race finish.
Patience is a work in progress. Your Aries sighs, loudly, at any gate that opens second.
Best playmate signs
Leo and Sagittarius horses match the Aries pace, all fire and flying manes. Gemini and Aquarius friends, horse or human, bring the fresh games an Aries craves.
And the Moon sign?
The Sun sign is the big personality. The Moon sign is what makes your horse feel safe. A Aries Sun can sit with any of the twelve Moons, and it changes the flavor a lot. Read about the Aries Moon, or find your pet’s.
