Horse

The libido in its forward moving form: the body's own energy, which carries the rider and does not belong to them. A horse that bolts and a horse that will not move are the two commonest versions and they read as opposites.

Where the reading comes from

The horse is the animal a person's power was literally borrowed from for several thousand years, which is why the language of it survives in horsepower and in being carried away.
