White horses have a special significance in the
mythologies of cultures around the world. They are often associated with the
sun chariot, with warrior-heroes, with fertility (in both mare and
stallion manifestations), or with an
end-of-time saviour, but other interpretations exist as well. Both truly
white horses and the more common
grey horses, with completely white hair coats, were identified as "white" by various religious and cultural traditions.
