CELTIC HORSES To the Celts of Ancient Ireland the horse was more than a beast of burden. He was also a friend, a comrade in war, and a symbol of masculine power. The Celts put images of horses on their weapons, homes and clothing. The Celts were farmers as well as warriors, so that their horses’ well being was a matter of life and death to them. The horse was their best friend among the animal kingdom, and it reminded them that they were part of a larger living world, one full of mystery, power, and emanation of that sacred power that imbues all things, even the earth itself, with life.
