"In the four seasons of beauty, THE BLONDE is spring. Her time of day is morning, and she glistens in the spotlight like the morning dew. Her jewel is the diamond — of course…Pearls can also be effective…Though she's synonymous with all the flowers of springtime, she finds her true expression in the sweet-scented lily of the valley. The legend of blonde beauty runs like a golden thread through the tapestry of history…from the fair-haired beauties of ancient Crete to the golden-haired sorceresses of Renaissence art. From Lady Godiva to Kim Novak, they have sent men's senses spinning. In the Golden Age of Venice, blonde beauty was the ideal of love and art. In those days, light hair was the equivalent of a love potion…"

In terms of looking for horses in art history depictions of the Anglo-Saxon noblewoman Lady Godiva are a good place to start. The legend that she is known for tells of her riding naked - only covered by her long hair - through the streets of Coventry in a stand against the oppressive taxation her husband Leofric had imposed on his tenants.

Lady Godiva statue by John Thomas (1813 – 1862), Maidstone Museum, Kent, England.
