Since very remote times, the symbolism of the horse has been associated with the passage and transport of the soul to other symbolic dimensions.
Children of the night and mysteries, horses are death and life, and are associated with the elements of fire and water. Among psychoanalysts, the mare is an archetype very close to that of the mother, as is the case with the Greek fertility goddess Demeter with the head of a horse, and the memory of the world, associated with time and impetuous desire. As a vehicle or a man's mount, the horse has its destiny intertwined with that of human beings. During the day, it is the rider who leads the horse, but at night it is the horse that directs the destiny of man in the darkness and thus becomes a seer and guide. The conflict between man and horse leads to disgrace while the agreement and harmonization between man and animal leads to success.
In the rituals of possession and initiation of different cultures, man turns into a horse, as is the case with African, Brazilian and Haitian voodoo, in the shamanic traditions of Abyssinia and Asia Minor. In these traditions, the possessed man becomes the horse of his spirit or of his god.
The white color was the favorite of the Celtic goddesses for their horses and the representation of Lady Godiva, the Lady Goddess, through a woman riding a white horse that was part of the traditional processions was fundamental for the success of the harvests. Bellerophon intended to achieve immortality by riding the moon horse Pegasus, born of Medusa's blood. The Norse god Odin rode phantom horses of gray color, which were said to be the souls of warriors killed in battle. In Islamic tradition, Muhammad rode the fantastic horse Alborak and, led by the angel Gabriel, went from Mecca to Jerusalem and also to Heaven.
Death horses, or those that portended death, have been found in ancient Irish tradition and throughout Europe since Greek antiquity. These horses are black, but also light or whitish, and are associated with the moon and water. It is in European folklore associated with sorcerers and demons that lead travelers to crash into precipices or to drown in swamps. In other traditions, from Europe to the Far East, horses are divinities of the waters and have the gift of making springs sprout with their paws. The horse is also considered a helper of the deities, as is the case in Africa, where they are mounted by the gods to make it rain. Contrary to the idea of death, there is also the concept of the solar steed, or the horse that pulls the car of the Sun, which is found in ancient cultures and also in Greek tradition.
In Chinese Astrology, the sign of the horse gives people born under this sign qualities such as diligence, discipline, determination, courage and boldness, qualities associated with this animal.
In Feng Shui the horse brings the energy of success, fame, freedom and speed. The image of a horse (or several horses) whether in art, in a photo or in a sculpture, is often used in businesses and offices.
In the Islamic world, the horse is associated with happiness, abundance, vitality, impetuosity, beauty, grace, sexuality, fertility, intelligence, dedication and generosity.
In the Celtic Tradition, Epona, the goddess of horses, was worshiped, whose mystical representation, usually, is of a young woman accompanied by a horse, with power over birth, life, death, life after death and rebirth.
For Native Americans, the horse was a symbol of divine and spiritual power.
In shaman medicine, the horse is the archetype that gives strength to achieve the freedom of the Soul.
In Western Astrology, the centaur symbolizes the sign of Sagittarius and represents the dynamic synthesis of man who seeks knowledge to elevate the human being, transcending his animal nature to achieve spiritual realization.
In Ancient Greece, Pegasus, the winged horse, was a symbol of immortality. And the Centaur, half a horse and half a man, represented our spiritual and human side, as the mythological being.
This symbol of the horse is so significant that we could even consider it an archetype. The representation of the horse is common because it symbolizes a very powerful and resistant wild force or energy that can be tamed at the same time.
The centaur (half horse half man), an analogy to the wild strength of the horse, but which is guided by the focused and determined intelligence of reason (the man), and perhaps in its shadow, the man who, despite his objective, ends up being carried away by the whims of this wild force without control.
The horse has a position of nobility too, even in ancient societies, having tamed other animals of strength that allowed the mount (bulls and elephants for example), the horse has always had a prominent place, not only for the beauty of the animal, but for the their resistance, ease of adaptation, feeding and procreation.
Wild horses symbolize, many times, uncontrollable instinctual impulses that can emerge from the unconscious - and that many people try to repress.
The psychologist Carl G. Jung, who marked the history of psychology with his studies on the unconscious and the interpretation of dreams, also tells us about how the symbolism of the horse is connected with elements of our psyche.
In the Tarot, the cavlo is also a symbol of many meanings, symbolizing spiritual elevation, or it has a relationship with the Apocalypse, death, life, freedom, fertility, devotion to feelings, emotions, use of mentasi forces, decision and coolness, health, strength, work. He is an element of the earth, an element of fire, a display of strength and form, impetuosity, instinct, freedom.

In the Feng Shui the horse is a personification of power and vitality. The horse is a dynamic symbol of seething vitality and speed, the embodiment of natural grace and beauty. A wild horse that gallops furiously with a waving mane is the embodiment of a formidable tumult of elements: a storm, a hurricane wind, a roaring flame, waving arrows from the sea. A horse circled with a rider on its back is a symbol of power, and a horse with an inverted saddle, with a tail and a trimmed mane is the emblem of mourning for the prematurely killed rider.
The symbolism of the horse is largely determined by its color. The white horse is a wonderful symbol of life, daylight, spiritual enlightenment, victory and triumph; red horse - the personification of a burning flame ("fire horse"); and black (black) is a sinister incarnation of the darkness of the night, of evil spirits and of death itself.
In mythology and the heroic epic, horses endowed with miraculous skills faithfully serve legendary heroes, helping them to accomplish incredible feats.
In the mythology of ancient peoples, it is easy to find traces and observe the proud step of many incredible horses. Areion, a divine horse from Greek mythology, born from the connection of Poseidon and Demeter, was able to speak humanly. In mountainous Arcadia, Areion was revered as a god, and in the city of Telpus coins were minted with his image.
The wonderful winged horses that carry the solar chariots of the gods in ancient, Babylonian, Iranian and Indian mythology are spiritual symbols of solar energy.
The most famous winged horse of Greek myths, the snow-white Pegasus, was born from the body of the Gorgon Medusa killed by Perseus. Leaving for Olympus, he delivered thunder and lightning to Zeus. On the mountain of muses, Helikon, Pegasus hoof Ippocrenu, a magical horse, and, as a result, became a poetic symbol of inspiration and emblem of the poets: it was believed that the most talented Pegasus would rise to the top of Parnaso, to the monastery of muses. With the help of Pegasus, the great Greek hero Belleront Font defeated the Amazon wars and killed the monstrous fire-breathing Chimera.
