Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
You can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, although the many current demands on your time and energy mean that you have little time to pause and catch your breath. Your real challenge over the coming month is to be clear and honest yet tactful in your dealings with others. Your other challenge is to stay positive so that you can see the wonderful opportunities opening up around you. It is especially important to watch your horse’s upper respiratory tract now, and attend to any problems before they get out of hand. Remember that this is a reflection of your own state of nervous tension.

Aquarius (January 21 – February 19)
This is a good time for you to be analysing & planning better ways of integrating your ingenious ideas into your work. You can use your charm & intuitive flashes to help open doors that will bring in long-term financial benefits for you. This will not only give you a new lease on life and boost your self-esteem, but will also help you to raise your profile in your line of work. Whilst your horse will enjoy having a little break from your training routine over the festive season, he would really respond well to some special pampering massages and body rubs with aromatherapy oils!

Pisces (February 20 – March 21)
Over the coming weeks you are busy enjoying all sorts of festivities, comings & goings. You are also busy thinking & planning out some goals for your year ahead together as a team with your horse. You will gain insights & inspiration from discussions with friends, a new book or video for your work together. This is an excellent time for you to try out some of these new ideas. Although they may initially create some problems for you & your horse, if you work through the issues systematically, you will make great gains to achieve a successful outcome.

Aries (March 22 – April 20)
Over the coming weeks it is important for you to try to balance meeting family & festive commitments with regular outings together with your horse. This will help you to keep a healthy perspective on things, so you can keep a clear head & avoid becoming embroiled in messy emotional family scenes. With Mars currently transiting through your natal sign, you need to take special care to look before you leap: both literally & metaphorically. Also make sure that you keep a fly veil on your horse now, as his eyes will be vulnerable to insects and UV rays.

Taurus (April 21 – May 21)
You take great delight in being around your horse, and you enjoy the special nature of your partnership, as your horse responds well to your consistent approach & care. As a result, you pride yourself on how far you have come together. It should go without saying that you love pampering & indulging your horse with special massages & tasty treats, which he loves, as he is a big kid at heart! You are feeling enthusiastic about all sorts of dreams & schemes for the coming year, so now is a good time to plan some shows or competitions into your busy schedule.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
You are incredibly versatile & you will be called upon to use this talent over the coming weeks as you have a flurry of things to accomplish! You will also feel the urge to clean & sort out all your tack and will be pleasantly surprised to rediscover some treasures that you had forgotten about! Now is also an ideal time for you to take stock of your horse’s diet & digestive efficiency. He would benefit from the addition of some probiotic supplements in his diet to increase the absorption of vitamins & minerals in the intestinal tract. A regular bran mash would further enhance this.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
This month’s full moon in your Natal sign puts the spotlight on your relationships. You will be challenged to find a balance between nurturing others and meeting their needs with setting boundaries, which force them to take responsibility for their own emotional issues. Whilst this may be painful at the time, it is important for the long-term health of your relationships. Watch your horse’s health at this time, as he will be prone to skin flair ups. Make sure you either use a pour on or spray on insect repellant and keep your worming schedule up to date.

Leo (July 23 – August 23)
This is a time of deep soul-searching for you now, as you contemplate the meaning of life with the arrival of the festive season and the approaching New Year. It is an important time for you to take time to reflect meditatively upon past achievements & future goals, including any habit patterns you would like to break free from. The positive changes you instigate now can help transform your human & equine relationships for the better in months to come. It is a good time to let your horse rest & recharge his batteries a little to, so that he will work enthusiastically for you in 2004.

Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Recent positive achievements with your horse have inspired you to want to set new goals in your training programme for 2004. Now is an excellent time for you to consolidate your ideas through videos and training manuals, while your horse is having a few weeks spell. You will find that you will be able to open your mind and your training schedule to the ideas, which appeal to you in both logical & practical ways. This will really enhance the way you work together & you will be pleasantly surprised by your horse’s generous response to this new work.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Although the festive season is here, & it is time to focus your attention on family & friends, your mind is still focussed on your professional responsibilities & your social standing. To escape the stress this creates in your life, you escape mentally to daydream about the huge gains you have made with your horse this year. Now is a good time to plan and commit to a competition schedule so that you can soon be out & about showing others how far you have come as a team. You will do extremely well, as long as you continue working with discipline and consistency.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 22)
You are looking forward to getting out & about again to socialise & have fun, with and without your horse! Make the most of any opportunities that come your way to go out and do some relaxing things with your horse! Take extra care this month to support your horse’s legs with boots or bandages, as the flexor tendons will be sensitive to stress now. Also make sure that your horse has a mineral block to provide him with sufficient salt & trace minerals as hot weather continues. Also make sure you take time to cool him down after a particularly intensive session.

Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
This is a challenging time for you now, as you face some powerful emotions, that have been stirred up during the festive season. It is important to be gentle on yourself now & take time to face these feelings that you have kept a lid on for a long time, so that you can go beyond them with renewed strength & vision into the New Year. Make time to go for long walks, either with or without your horse, so that you can release your pent-up emotions, as well as ground & centre your energy. Ideally, you should try to spend time in a lovely peaceful place, where you can feel at one with nature.
