The sign of the crab
Sensitive, material and very romantic
A Cancerian horse makes the ideal brood mare - protective, loving and devoted, she will be content with pastoral life, watching the clover grow and the foals getting fat and glossy. In the wild, however, these mares will defend the herd's youngsters with all the tenacity characteristics of the Crab, so when weaning take the necessary precautions for separating a half - ton shellfish from its young. (Or, more sensibly, get someone else to do it!)
Since she is a steady ride, given naturally to half-passing, watch out for your head as the cancerian mare is wont to scurry sideways under overhanging branches or through doorways (they don't have to be open). These horses seek shelter like the Arian horse seeks action and they are devoted to homes, defensive of territory and hate changes in surroundings. Ruled by the Moon, these horses are sensitive to lunar cycles and may be a bit moody, indulging in comfort eating, laziness and general crabbiness. That said though, they nearly always have the manners of perfect ladies. Beware of excessive weight gain and colic, and keep the crab horse happy with visits to the sea side.
