Mythical Horse

 

Magical horses appear in the fairy tales of many cultures - Tulpar, Pegasus, Sivka-Burka, Bayard, Akbuzat, Sleipnir, Gaitan, Rakhsh, Tetroni, Chalkuyruk, Dzindz, Aranzal, Târkshya, Babieca, etc. Horses of the gods, knights, and heroes are beautiful and endowed with special powers. Their images are represented in sculpture, paintings, frescos, and bas-relief. We can use AKVIS ArtWork to create our own fairy-tale and turn any horse into a legendary creature.
