All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.”

Origin of Horse

Original for sale on Everyday Original!

From Hiisi is the horse's origin, from the mountain - in a room with a door of fire, in a smithy with an iron ridge; its head was made of stone, its hoofs of rock, its legs were formed from iron, its back was made of steel.

Horse was the most valuable animal to Finnish people. The Finnish horses are sturdy and very versatile which made them extremely useful. A man's horse was said to be the measure of his value.

Originally people believed that the horse came from Hiisi, home to demon or trickster-like entities. There is one well-known horse in Finnish mythology, the Hiisi horse (also "Devil's horse) which was an artificial horse made of iron and flames. Despite the demonic origin the horse was only believed to have originated from Hiisi because people respected this powerful animal so much.

Another thing that speaks of the importance of the horse are all the stories where a hero is give a quest. This quest oftentimes involves horses somehow. The hero may need to track, capture or harness a horse (which may also be the Hiisi horse) in order to win the favor of a maiden or the quest-giver.
