horse

Horses are considered very spirited, powerful and beautiful animals. They were thought of like brave warriors: highly skilled fighters who loved victory and were miserable when conquered. The horse signifies readiness to act for one's country. It is also a symbol of speed, intellect and virility. As a result the horse will be found in arms as rampant or salient (in a fighting position), and courant (running), as well as passant (walking) and trotting. It may be drawn saddled and bridled, with a rider or without. Horses are also often found as supporters in a full achievement of arms.
