The white horse of Kent, known colloquially as the white horse rampant, is a symbol of the county of Kent, in south-east England.[1] The heraldic image is correctly blazoned as Gules, a stallion forcené argent (strictly the term rampant applies to heraldic lions).
The figure of the prancing white horse can also be referred to as Invicta, which is the motto of Kent.[1]

A prancing white horse is the logo for the county council and has been the symbol of Kent for hundreds of years. However, a sculpture of the Invicta, supported by Kent County Council in response to Mr Wallinger's entry, was rejected by judges last year.
