Character of the Wood type Horse
The woodhorse is impatiently eager to get to work in the morning. He wants to be the first to be taken to the racetrack, he has to be in the lead. Competition is his greatest pleasure. He is determined and energetic. He likes to run fast and jump high and hates authority. The wood type horse is alert and sees everything in its environment.

Not a horse for beginners, but for mentally strong riders, the wood type horse can be a great horse. In untrained hands it can be a real torment. Due to its fighting mentality, this horse sometimes needs to be protected from itself.
Explanation of the description of the character type
In this description, the character of an exemplary wood type 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.
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 wood type horse are indicated here.
The Wood Horse needs movement and should preferably be able to use what has been learned in performance form. This does not mean that top performance has to be delivered every time. While he will be offering this soon, the strength of the trainer is not to take it out, but to perfect the basic part by protecting against himself. The learning pace should be calm, but the method active and energetic.

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.
