The horse has been, over the ages, variously a symbol of: courage, strength, speed (swifter than eagles), the passage of time and human life, pride (get on your high horse), death (Book of Revelation, horses of The Apocalypse), and war (sacred to and sacrificed to Mars).
In the Bible, persons with military rank were generally mounted on horses – those without rank very seldom; and the association of horses with war is frequent.
A white horse signified conquest and victory and was a good omen. In medieval days (chivalry) a white horse also signified innocence and chastity.
The ancients attributed special sanctity to a vow taken on horseback – one that could not be violated.
The horse was frequently the emblem of the sun, symbolizing creative life and giving solemnity and fruitfulness to the marriage vows. The Ruler of the Day – the Sun – was drawn in his chariot by celestial horses in his daily journey across the skies. The Dawn (The Goddess Aurora) was called the “White Horse” and had Pegasus as her steed after he had disposed of his earthly rider.
To the ancient Norsemen and the Romans (Diana) the horse was also similarly associated with the moon – drawing that god’s chariot across the skies.
The horseshoe in mythology represented the crescent moon. Nailed on doorways it was deemed to ward off witchcraft, the evil eye and Satan. It is still, today, a symbol of good luck. Attached to a wall or doorway, the open end should be up, otherwise “the luck will run out”.
Horses disturbed and restless in the morning and with their manes and tails tangled and twisted are supposed, according to old English legend, to have been ridden in the night by the pixies.
Superstitions about color include these: A good horse is never a bad color.
ONE white leg, buy him.
TWO white legs, try him.
THREE white legs, send him far away. (Sell him to your foes)
FOUR white legs, keep him not a day. (Feed him to the crows)
