What this card is
A heavy black horse stands completely still at the edge of a ploughed field while its armoured rider holds his coin out and looks at it steadily. He is the slowest figure in the deck and the most reliable. The card is about method: showing up, finishing, keeping the promise on the ordinary Tuesday when nobody is watching. It is not exciting, and it is how most real things actually get built.
