People born in the Year of the Horse 1906-2003

Chinese astrology is more than just years, but if you aren’t in East Asia, you are unlikely to know the month sign you were born under.

I was born in the month of the Tiger (yin) in the rain water term in the Hour of the Horse.

This is the Year of the Wood Horse, so maybe it’s a time to think about the movies of Troy and the Trojan Horse?

Who was born in the Year of the Horse? See my list below.
