(July 24 - August 23)
The sign of the Lion
Self confidence, enthusiasm, pride
Leo is the sign of the liberty horse, the flashy show jumper, the best in class. Impressive, proud and often blessed with remarkably glossy and luxuriant coat, he simply demands admiration. He is not usually all show, however, for there is great strength of charater here (stubborness) but vulnerability too (unaviodable considering that Leo horses have egos the size of polo pitches). Yet he is a warm, generous and benevolent King of Beasts, with a heart in proportion to his inflated ego.
Nice movers, these sun horses glide with all the carnivorous assurance of the Lion, beating the ground with each footfall and glorifying in the sensation of their muscular shoulders shuddering with the impact and sending shock waves through their manes. (It's never a good idea to plait his mane, it will drive you both mad and it looks much nicer wild and free.) Show jumpers who buck at the end of clear rounds are almost always Leos. You see, they might not seem to, but they do doubt themselves and they buck as if to say "There, I always knew I could do it". You, of course, never had any doubt in your brave steed, and often find yourself wishing that he'd save his playfulness for the paddock.
