Ox and Horse compatibility
Friction
The Ox is the branch 丑, Yin Earth. The Horse is 午, Yang Fire. Here is how the two branches meet in the tables Korean saju uses, and how their elements relate.
By the tables, the Ox and the Horse have friction marks and no combination. That reads as a pair that rubs, not one that can’t work: the friction is usually about habits and timing.

Branches: 丑 and 午
Harm (害)Friction
丑 and 午 form a harm. It is traditionally read as misunderstandings between people who are close. Saying things plainly tends to help.
Wonjin (怨嗔)Friction
In Korean saju, 丑 and 午 are also an old-grudge pair: a mild, on-and-off irritation where small things sting. Korean compatibility readings check it often; it is one mark among many.
Gwimun (鬼門)Friction
丑 and 午 form a jumpy-nerves pair, a Korean-school reading of heightened sensitivity between two people. Good sleep, steady routines and not reading too much into moods are the usual advice.
Elements: Earth and Fire
Fire feeds Earth in the generating cycle. The Horse side tends to give energy, ideas or care, and the Ox side tends to grow with it. Checking that it flows both ways usually helps.
丑 is Yin and 午 is Yang: one of each.
