For thousands of years, humans and horses have shared work, habitat, and in many cases a close bond between species. Early prehistoric art often depicts images of running horses, and today many artists are taken with the grace, elegance, and power of the image of a horse.
A common symbol of strength, courage, agility, and speed, the image of a horse is believed to hold special spiritual meaning in many cultures. Greco-Romans associated the horse with war, and thus power and winning strength.
In Hindu culture, the horse is linked to the power of the cosmos. As a Native American totem animal, the horse represents an ability to harness the freedom of the wind and the grounding stability of the earth in balance.
Horse lovers around the world will agree: the image of a running horse evokes an emotional response. Nothing embodies the freedom, power, grace, and mystery of life like a horse.
