EPONA
Gaulish Horse Goddess
Horse Goddess of Mares, Gallops and Fertility
As a protector of horses, Epona was held in high esteem by all Gauls, and even the visiting Romans thought it best to offer her lumps of sugar now and again.
She rides side-saddle so is a bit behind in the equestrian department. In fact there are those who believe Epona is actually the pony, and the woman rider is just someone she is giving a lift to.
