The Uffington Horse is not living horse per se, but an ancient character and symbol dug in to the earth of Great Britain that has been filled in with chalk. The Uffington horse dates to be from the Bronze Age, back when they were building henges and such. There has been debate whether a horse was specifically intended in the shape, but a horse had been decidedly signified since the 11th century. There have been other horses carved into British soil, but I find the Uffington horse most fascinating. (Also, I love that Terry Pratchett mentions it several times in his Tiffany Aching books!) For me, the Uffington horse shows the depth which which horses have been so deeply rooted in the formation of mankind through the ages and how then and now, we still revere these creatures. The Uffington horse smells of wild, fresh herbs such as lavender, wild chamomile, small violets, mullein, sage, wild roses cozied up to a bed of soft, pale chalk
