Epona, the divine mare

 I took some time out from working on my website to research some ancient myths about horses.  I found some interesting stories on Epona.

.

In Gallo/ Roman religion, Epona was a protector of horses. She was particularly a goddess of fertility and was often depicted with foals. The goddess and her horses were leaders of the soul in the after-life ride.

 The feast day set to celebrate Epona is Dec. 18, which is also my birthday.

This is also the source of the word pony.
