In Celtic mythology, Rhiannon, a mythic figure in the Mabinogion - TopicsExpress



          

In Celtic mythology, Rhiannon, a mythic figure in the Mabinogion collection of legends, rides a pale-white horse. Because of this, she has been linked to the Romano-Celtic fertility horse goddess Epona and other instances of the veneration of horses in early Indo-European culture. White horses are the most common type of hill figure in England. Though many are modern, the Uffington White Horse at least dates back to the Bronze Age. In Scottish folklore, the kelpie or each uisge, a deadly supernatural water demon in the shape of a horse, is sometimes described as white, though other stories say it is black.
