In ancient Gaul —and in Celtic culture as a whole— horse was a special animal not only because of its role as symbol of prestige and richness but also because of its strong religious and ritual dimension. There are horses in burials and in sanctuaries (like Vertault in Côte d´Or) being sacrified together with other domestic animals or with the warriors as we see in some cult places in Picardy as the well known of Gournay-sur-Aronde (Oise) or the so called ‘trophy’ of Ribemont-sur-Ancre (Somme).
