The Forcene Horse

In the world of heraldry, when a horse is rearing up in the way that this statue is, it is known as being “forcene”, which translates from Old French as “rabid” or “to go mad”.

What did this image teach me?

Heraldry is a deeply complex and fascinating subject – something that I definitely need to look into.
