The Horse: Energetic, independent and straightforward. The Horse loves open space and company in equal measure, and is happiest in motion.
The Dog: Loyal, fair and protective. The Dog keeps its word and its friends, and has a strong sense of what is right.

Horse and Dog in love, friendship and work
In love
Love comes easily: the two read each other without explanation and rarely tire of each other's company. The tradition pairs trine signs first when it matches couples.
As friends
As friends they are the pair who plan the trip and both turn up. They fall into the same rhythm and take the same side in a room.
At work
At work they pull the same way; the risk is that no one in the room disagrees. A trine pair does best with a third voice at the table.
Other matches

For the Dog
