Wood Horse personality

Wood gives the Horse's enthusiasm a collaborative path, placing freedom alongside the pleasure of growing something with other people. Its persuasive side is expressed through encouragement rather than a demand to follow. The challenge is keeping shared momentum sustainable, since saying yes to each new invitation can leave too little space for the promises that already connect the group.
