Emotion:joyful & nervous

Fire horses love to interact with people, especially when they are admired and given a lot of attention. They are cheerful and intelligent horses. In the morning they are the first to greet the owner.
They can barely walk a few steps without looking around to see what friends are doing and what is happening in the world. Stress and over-asking can lead to hyperactive behavior and concentration problems.
These horses like to be in the spotlight and are therefore very suitable as a show or dressage horse. Fire horses in balance are horses with a lot of joy!
Character of the Fire Horse
The fire horse loves contact with people. Especially when they come to admire her and give her a lot of attention. She is joyful, intelligent and is the first to greet the owner in the morning. Life is a big game and she doesn’t want to miss any of it. She can barely walk a few steps without looking back to see what her 
friends are doing. She loves shows in all facets. Brushing, braiding, as long as attention is paid to her body. She also loves attention in the ring. When she has done her job, she likes to be extensively rewarded. She cares more about beauty and grace than speed. A balanced fire horse is a horse with a lot of joy.
With a strong intuition she fully anticipates the rider. Because of her sensitivity, she needs a like-minded soul as a rider.
This hypersensitivity can cause the fire horse to act frightened and anxious. Stress and over-asking can lead to hyperactive behavior and difficulty concentrating. These horses will never be able to be put in a stable alone, because they always need friends and girlfriends and a lot of attention. They are emotionally hypersensitive and will therefore react extremely if the rider is not feeling well. They are not the easiest horses to achieve, but if you can, you will not be able to find a better dressage horse as the horse loves applause and finds himself very beautiful and wonderful.
The fire horse is sensitive to dehydration. It is therefore important that the horse gets enough fresh water and is not overloaded. Fire horses are also very sensitive to pain.
Appropriate use: dressage and show
Common in the following breeds: Warmblood, Arabians, Trakhener
Explanation of the description of the character type
In this description the character of an exemplary fire horse is outlined. There are five main character types, of which this is one. The goal is that recognizable characteristics become visible. Don’t assume that your horse is by definition one particular type and that everything else is no longer possible. Every horse has characteristics of all types. There are also continuous changes that affect the character of the horse. Every horse has a basic character type that is constantly under the influence of external things. For example, training can positively affect the type and living conditions of a bad one. These influences can even temporarily influence the basic character in such a way that it is no longer recognizable. That is why it is important that the animal is given the space and freedom to be itself, so that the basic character eventually emerges again. A horse is better off if it is allowed to be itself, it will certainly benefit its health.
Training of the Fire Horse
While training horses, it is important to know the type of horse you are training. Training includes training at all levels. Whether it is a young horse that has to learn the basics or a sport horse that is trained in a high discipline. This is not about the content, but about the form of the training. That is why a number of basic characteristics for the training form of the fire horse are indicated here.
In the training of the fire horse, keep in mind that this horse often finds it difficult to concentrate. Not because of a lack of interest, but because the distraction is so great. It is therefore important to make and keep the training so interesting that you can continue to fascinate the fire horse. The fire horse learns quickly and quickly gets bored of boring repetition exercises. However, repetitions are indispensable in training, so you will have to offer the same exercise in different packages. The fire horse benefits from several shorter workouts instead of long sessions.
Appropriate partner
which relationship suits you?
The element theory (Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal) applies to all living beings. The 5 main character types therefore apply not only to horses, but also to people. If we try to look at ourselves objectively, we will be able to recognize one or more types in ourselves. Therefore realize that it is important to know and accept your own type (that you yourself). As a result, you will be better able to choose a horse that suits you. You also have to look at the goal that you have in mind for the horse. Not every character type is suitable for the possible purpose that people have in mind for the horse.
This prevents disappointment and a lot of misery for both parties. For example, if you are an Earth type yourself, you can imagine that you will not be happy on a woodhorse. If you just want to ride a nice ride and this type only wants to go really fast because he wants to win, you will both return to the stable disappointed.
Nutrition
Feed the Fire Horse properly
The fire type prefers bitter. Bitter substances remove stagnations at the intestinal level and stimulate digestion and the heart. Bad quality oils and inferior raw materials contain almost no correct energy and burden the digestive organs. A fire type can absolutely not stand this! This food has a strong bitter taste and smell and a high energy content and forms an ideal basis for a good balance in the fire-type body.
