Horses were chosen for the zodiac because of their important role in everyday life in ancient China. They were needed for farming, travel, warfare, and communication across the empire. In Chinese legend, the Jade Emperor held a great race to decide which animals would be part of the zodiac and in what sequence they would appear.
