Game of thrones white horse explained: what did the white horse mean?

The Game of Thrones series finale will air this week and will surely see Arya Stark (played by Maisie Williams) have a huge role to play after she found a white horse in the wreckage of

King's Landing in the last episode of the HBO and Sky show. The white horse could symbolise that she will be the one who will kill Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) in the GoT finale.

GoT fans have multiple theories about what the white horse could mean for the final episode, which will air on Sunday on HBO and Monday on Sky Atlantic WHAT DID THE WHITE HORSE MEAN IN GAME

OF THRONES? WARNING: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR GAME OF THRONES SEASON 8 EPISODE 5 As with much of the symbolism in Game of Thrones, the white horse has a literal and a figurative

meaning. Literally, the white horse previously belonged to Harry Strickland (Marc Rissmann), the leader of the sellsword army Golden Company. The Golden Company was meant to protect Cersei

Lannister (Lena Headey) and the rest of King’s Landing, but were easily destroyed by Dany and her last remaining dragon. HAS GAME OF THRONES SEASON 8 EPISODE 6 LEAKED? After Strickland’s

death, his horse somehow managed to escape the battle until it is found by Arya. However, the horse also has a number of symbolic meanings for the final episode of Game of Thrones. Many fans

have pointed out that in the Bible, the pale horse is the steed ridden by Death himself. Revelations 6:8 reads: “I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! HOW LONG IS EACH EPISODE OF

GAME OF THRONES SEASON 8? “Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him.” Many have taken this to mean that Arya has become the Angel of Death, the force who will stop

Daenerys and bring an end to the Game of Thrones. However, this is not the only white horse we see in GoT season eight, episode five. Earlier in the episode, a young girl who Arya tries to

protect is seen clutching a toy white horse, leading some to suggest that somehow this horse has somehow come to life to protect Arya in her last stand. HOW GAME OF THRONES CHANGED TV

FOREVER Ned Stark (Sean Bean) also had a white horse at the beginning of Game of Thrones, leading some to suggest that this represents her father and his dedication to protecting the Iron

Throne - a dedication that will now lead Arya to kill the ‘mad queen’ before she can do more damage. However, some fans have made more far-fetched readings of the white horse. A Polygon

article on the symbolism of the white horse said: “Some have begun theorizing that Bran (otherwise absent from the episode) warged into the horse and came to save his sister.” Fans will have

to tune in to the Game of Thrones series finale next Sunday to find out what the white horse might mean. _GAME OF THRONES SEASON 8 AIRS ON HBO IN THE US ON SUNDAYS 9PM ET AND ON SKY
