"I discovered that the horse embodies life itself—a metaphor and an example of life’s mystery, unpredictability, generosity, and beauty—a worthy subject for repeated and ever-changing contemplation." —Jane Smiley
For me, horses symbolize strength, grace, freedom, and, equally, love and intimacy. During a campus job interview in engineering college, I was asked which animal I would most like to relate to and why. Without hesitation, I answered, "a horse." Though I can't recall the exact reasons I gave at the time, since then, my fascination with horses has only deepened.
This one is for strength, love, and intimacy.
