The
horse shows up in almost every mythological writing, folklore, and reality.
There is the mighty winged Pegasus; the 8-legged horse of the Norse god Odin;
the stallions of the Hindu sun god; the stallions of Apollo, and on and on.
Many legends speak of the horse as being clairvoyant and able to perceive
humans with magical powers. No single animal has given man the physical freedom
of movement as the horse.
If you are drawn to the horse, you feel a power in your spirit that is sometimes difficult to control. Horse is a symbol of loyalty and devotion; of unquestioning love and faith in his master. He says that you love to travel, and have more than a touch of gypsy in your soul. Horse is also your warrior spirit — the brave fighter who brings you safety in your journeys, both the physical and the metaphysical. Your warrior protector. If you are attracted to horse energy, you might honor it by putting a small twist of horsehair over your bed, and hanging another from your rearview mirror.
The color of the horse you are drawn to is also significant. The white horse says that you feel responsibility very heavily, and you must guard against carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. The black horse travels into the void, the unknown, seeking truth and enlightenment. The reddish and red/brown colors are for humor, and says that you ease tense situations with a touch of humor. There's no doubt that Gerardus rides a red horse! The yellow horse signifies new beginnings; awakenings and enlightenment.
