Horse lore and mythology is diverse and no other animal is as closely linked with human civilisation as the horse. Horse is associated with birth and death, and stories abound about people riding into and out of the world upon a horse.

Generally horses teach about travel and freedom, they are associated with the wind and even the foam of the sea. Traits include endurance, speed, sociable nature, matriarchal power, sexuality, strength, loyalty, power, energy and freedom of spirit.
