"Ash is named after a sacred tree in Celtic mythology, and has been done in an ethereally shaded light dapple grey with a chalky basecoat. His coat color reminded us of the grey-toned bark common among ash trees. Created on the Othello mold (#708), sculpted by Kathleen Moody, Ash will feature a high-gloss finish. Considered sacred and referenced often in Celtic mythology, figuring particularly prominently in the Celtic and North Germanic creation myths, ash trees are also part of a magical trilogy of trees associated with fairy lore. Ash trees were so revered in Ireland that even in times of strife, people refused to cut them down for firewood, except to be used in the sacred fired during Beltane celebrations in the spring. Both Oak and Ash trees are closely related to kingship and considered sources of ancient wisdom." www.breyerhorses.com. Breyerfest 2020 Stamp on belly.
