Queenstown (West) - Land of the White horse

There is an old saying that the white horse patrolling the land of gold and silver horse cart near the old Queenstown Shopping Centre still mourns the loss of its tail.

From the landform, this white horse seems to be situated between Stirling Road and Queensway. Its head faces Queenstown Swimming Complex while its read is beside Queensway Road. To the left is Mei Chin Street and on the right, Alexandra Road.

What are the characteristics of a horse land? A horse is enthusiastic and assertive. It is awe-inspiring, especially if it is a white horse, and is extremely loyal to both its master and duties. But a horse has shortcomings as well. It is over ambitious and lacks perseverance.

People who have lived on a horse land for a long time will be successful in their careers and gain fame. However, due to the horse's stubborn nature and lack of perseverance, residents' initial success might end in failure. But a horse must not experience failure. A dejected horse is devoid of fighting spirit and will have difficulty getting back on tis feet. It will only regain its confidence with the help of a nobleman.

Apparently, the white horse had its tail snipped off by three mischievous children. It had belonged to a well-do-to family and was very pampered by its owners. Thus, it must have been devastated when it lost its gold and silver cart after its tail was cut off.

But it was not an ordinary horse. Being loyal and very concerned over the loss of tis cart, it refused to leave. Gradually a den was created. Luckily there is an abundance of grass and the Queenstown Swimming Complex provides the horse with drinking water. Its head is located on top of a small hill not far away.

Recently, many new flats have come up near Stirling Road, greatly changing the surrounding area. Fortunately, the horse formation has remained more or less unchanged. It must be noted that the sole water trough in the vicinity is Queenstown Swimming Complex. Hopefully, it will not be shifted or that will spell doom for the horse land. In addition, after losing tis tail and with its pride badly bruised, the horse did not know where to go, so the best move is to retrieve its tail.

How to go about it? As the formation has changed somewhat since the horse lost its tail, recovery will be quite difficult. It might be good to try the feng shui principle of substituting form with form and plant some masson pine to support the horse land's feng shui.

Residents here may be influenced in some way; they are easy-going but lack endurance. While men here lack passion for work, they love and care for their families greatly and will do their best to provide for their children's education. Ladies who marry men who grew from this area can rest assured that they have a blissful home.

From the above we gather that a disappointed horse needs guidance and support. Residents with a good boss or leader will usually be brilliant in their work and able to unleash their full potential. On the other hand, those with mediocre boss or leader will not shine.

The horse land is good for those who wish to develop and open up new markets, but difficult for those who wish to hold on to existing businesses. The latter's chances of success are as slim as that of the white horse waiting to recover its tail and cart.
