The horse symbolizes energy, and the energetic pursuit of the objectives of Buddha's teachings.100 viewsThe horse is one of the 12 animals in the Asian 60-year calendrical cycle. Shakyamuni Buddha is said to have been born in the Year of the Horse, and so 2002, which was mainly a horse year, was considered especially auspicious. The 12 animals rotate through each of the 5 elements and the 2 sexes. (Sadly, a female child born in the Fire Horse year was often put to death because it was believed that she would turn out to be too energetic and hard to manage.)
