epona 60

In Gallo-Roman religion, Epona was the goddess of horses and ponies. She was also a fertility and mother goddess, and was frequently depicted in art and sculptures with a patera, cornucopia, ears of grain, and foals. She and her horses might also have escorted souls in the afterlife, as seen in later literary parallels such as the character Rhiannon from the Welsh Mabinogion.
