I recently came upon this singular sculpture image – a lone snow horse resting amidst a sea of cold and ice.
I have not been able to find the source for this beauty, but hope to be able to attribute an artist name and location.

According to astrology expert and author, Susan Levitt, “The Wood Horse year is a time of fast victories, unexpected adventure, and surprising romance. It is an excellent year for travel, and the more far away and off the beaten path the better. Energy is high and production is rewarded. Decisive action, not procrastination, brings victory. But you have to act fast in a Horse year. If you are not 100% secure about a decision, then don’t do it. Events move so quickly in a Horse year that you don’t want to gallop off in the wrong direction.”
Certainly Levitt’s forecast about “fast victories” and “high energies” should bode well.
But maybe an even more positive and hopeful sign is that the last Triple Crown was won in 1978 – another Year of the Horse. Some say that this was the greatest rivalry in thoroughbred racing history – the battle between Alydar and winner Affirmed. This lack of a Triple Crown winner for 36 years feels very much like the Curse of the Bambino and the 86 year drought the Red Sox suffered with no World Series wins between 1918 and 2004. Hopefully we will have a new Triple Crown winner this year…
Good luck to all of the horses leading up to the first leg of the Triple Crown challenge – the Kentucky Derby scheduled for Saturday, May 3 at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.
