These noble animals symbolized wealth and power and were an important part of the lives of not only European but also Eastern peoples. "Heavenly horses," or "eight horses," as the personification of heaven, fire, yang, south, speed, perseverance, and good omens, were revered in ancient China.
Strength, swiftness, majestic beauty, devotion, and at the same time, vulnerability and vulnerability... An amazing creature! The horse is one of the first objects of human artistic expression, captured in cave paintings and numerous sculptures. Horses have been sacred animals since ancient times. They are associated with fertility and are linked to omens, sorcerers, and pagan deities. Many people have drawn inspiration from the physical beauty of these animals, but they have also sensed something more—the element of freedom hidden beneath their manes.
