(April 21 - May 21)
The sign of the Bull.
Steadfast, courageous and firm
The Taurean horse is easily spotted: she is the one to whom all the children rush at the pony rides, hanging around her chubby neck, feeding her apples and rubbing their hands into her soft coat. She loves it, especailly the apple part, she could take hours of that. As the sign of the Bull, these horses are often very broad shouldered, muscular and solid. If you had a Taurean pony as a child you probably have bandy legs but lots of good memories.
The charateristics of a Taurean horse, her stoicism, dependability, compassion and good sense, make her an excellent first pony or truly unshakeable police horse. The original "armchair ride", the horse ruled by Venus is typically a passive nag but beware of pushing your luck when she is being obstinate (most of the time) or she will let you know her displeasure in no uncertain terms - you'ce seen cowboys on bulls on the rodeo? Well, you get the picture. But keep her happy (this is were apples are so important) and all will be very well with this close-to-nature horse whose love of hearth and home is second to none. Beware of obesity and watch out for troubles with the back and throat.
