Jessie, it totally sucks that nobody has responded to your post yet. I really hope you get the email that notifies you that i've responded.

First, your dream is really straightforward: you and the horse are both stubborn (just kidding).

Honestly, in this dream, you were trying really hard, but not getting the results you wanted. But, this dream represented how you felt, rather than anything prophetic. I wonder if you pushing represented how you felt; and the horse represented you in real life. You wanted you to take action about the pain, but the constant pain prevented you from taking action, hence the duality in the dream.

I wonder how your condition is now?
