There are many ways civilization has immortalized the horse. From art to coins to stamps, our respect for the strength & beauty of these animals is all around us in symbolic form.

Awesome – two things that I love =) Stamps and horses!
Very cool.
I used to collect stamps, and when I sold my stamp collection (I ran out of money and time to grow it!) I kept the horse stamps. There are some real beauties in it, including a set of paintings of Arabian horses that are so lifelike and graceful (can’t remember offhand which country they are from). It’s great to see the noble equus honoured thus.
