I had never heard the phrase before, and can see it applies to life as well as writing. I am very much as you describe. the white horse - busy, pushing, driving - serious. I would say the dark horse is looking for more fun, play, and humor. As I write this, I realize that is what I am now trying to bring into my writing.
Interesting. I believe my horses are the reverse of yours. My shadow side is the driven striver for whom nothing is ever enough. The good side of me is the content, soup making side that just wants to play and connect. :)

This was so interesting to read. I’ve never heard of it this way and will definitely explore it a bit further! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this deep analogy--I enjoyed listening to it. 🐎
