Bad Google, No Biscuit!
Argh, my search-and-research fu is failing me!
I can't find any good web resources with a comprehensive list of horses in mythology, folklore and ghost stories. I can find plenty of books that seem to be exactly what I'm looking for, but nothing online that's at all useful. It's mostly all pages by thirteen year old girls who are obsessed with unicorns.
I may need to haul my ass to the library. Two books look extremely promising:
The Mythology of Horses: Horse Legend and Lore Throughout the Ages, by Gerald and Loretta Hausman.
The Horse in Magic and Myth, by M. Oldfield Howey.
Of course this means putting off my work until...I don't know when, since there's no way in hell I can get to the library in this weather. Curse you internet! Why is it that you can tell me, in finite detail, the history and evolution of rare sexual paraphelias such as the sexual fixation on beer bottles or stamp collecting, but you can't give me a nice list of horse myths and lore?
Fail, internet. Epic fail.
You also suck at returning info on burial legends and folklore.
