The Wise Old Head
Your Capricorn horse has seen it all, even at age four. Ruled by Saturn, this is a sensible, patient soul who knows all the rules of the yard and rather likes them. They wait at the gate at exactly the right time, walk in at a dignified pace and give younger horses a look that clearly says: settle down now, dear.
Capricorn horses are the steady heart of the herd. Newcomers stand near them, children adore them and very little ruffles their calm. Beneath all that dignity is a dry sense of humor and a deep, quiet affection for the people who have earned it, slowly and properly, over the years.
