White Horse of Hanover – known officially as the Saxon Steed, the White Horse of Hanover came to the Royal Arms with the ascension of Elector George of Hanover. Ruling as King George I of England, the White Horse was used in the Royal Arms throughout the House of Hanover’s reign from King George I’s rise in 1714 to the death of King William IV in 1837. The White Horse is depicted in this statue in support of the Royal Arms of England under the Hanovers, a quartered shield with the Lion of Scotland and Three Lions of England in the first quadrant, fleur des lis of France in the second quadrant, Harp of Ireland in the third quadrant, and the arms of the House of Hanover in the fourth quadrant.
