Plow

PLOW - The plow symbolizes the harvest; the reaping of life.  

The signification of "plowing" is preparation by believers of Christ, for the receiving of truth.   The signification of "harvest" is our gathering back to our Holy Father--for harvest is the already "ripe crop" when it is being gathered, hence "harvest" is the knowing the truth of God's words.

(KJV Hosea 10:12) - Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

Horse

HORSE -  Although the horse was present in many different cultures, they represent the same concepts of freedom and power.   In some cultures, white horses stand for the balance of wisdom and power.   In others, like Christianity, the white horse is a symbol of death.  The horse is a universal symbol of freedom without restraint, because riding a horse made people feel they could free themselves from their own binding.  An important thing to remember about horses is that they are representative of the spirit, similar to freedom.
