SARGA.CO – The beauty of horses isn’t only admired on racetracks or in stables; it also finds its place in homes and even living rooms. One popular way to celebrate this elegance is by displaying horse-themed paintings of various sizes on the walls.
Horse paintings are often chosen to symbolize the strength and grace of this noble animal.
Interestingly, in the world of art, a unique phenomenon exists: in many countries, artists traditionally depict seven horses in their horse paintings.
In Vastu Shastra, the ancient Indian science of architecture, as well as in Feng Shui, a painting of seven running horses is believed to bring luck, vitality, and progress.
The energy of seven horses galloping together represents speed, perseverance, and determination — qualities deeply associated with the spirit of horse racing.
According to Astaguru.com, the origin of this artistic motif comes from the story of Surya, the Sun God in Hindu mythology, who rides a chariot drawn by seven horses.
These seven horses symbolize the seven days of the week and the seven rays of the sun that illuminate the world.
This symbolism later evolved into a representation of life energy and perseverance — two virtues essential to breeders, trainers, and jockeys alike. Like racehorses on the track, the seven horses in the painting seem to embody the drive to keep running, overcome obstacles, and never stop until the finish line.
For horse lovers, such paintings are more than mere decorations — they are reflections of the racing philosophy itself. Galloping horses represent strength, determination, and focus, while seven together signify teamwork and harmony among horse, jockey, and trainer.
A bright background or sunlight often seen in these paintings conveys optimism and a competitive spirit.
It’s no wonder that many stables, equestrian clubs, and champion horse owners hang such paintings in their offices or training rooms as symbols of motivation and victory.
In Feng Shui, the direction in which a painting is displayed plays an important role. A seven-horse painting is best placed facing north or east, directions believed to channel growth and forward-moving energy — much like horses charging toward the finish line.
However, it is not recommended for bedrooms, as its dynamic energy can disturb rest and tranquility. It’s best to choose paintings featuring white or light brown horses, colors symbolizing stability and the natural strength of the animal.
In the world of horse racing, victory never comes overnight. It demands discipline, perseverance, and unwavering spirit — values perfectly embodied by the seven galloping horses in these paintings.
