The Legend of the Horse in the Chinese Zodiac

The Horse, the seventh sign in the Chinese Lunar calendar, symbolizes freedom, confidence, and vitality. Rooted in ancient lore, the horse earned its place in the zodiac during the Jade Emperor’s legendary celestial race. Though it raced with unmatched power and speed, the clever snake’s last-minute trick secured the sixth spot, leaving the horse proudly in seventh place — a symbol of unyielding determination and grace.

Those born under the Year of the Horse (1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, and 2026) are said to embody energy, intelligence, and independence, characteristics mirrored in this stunning gold coin.
