Enbarr is a mythical creature from Celtic mythology, particularly associated with Irish and Scottish folklore. It is a legendary horse, often described as an otherworldly steed that possesses extraordinary abilities. In many myths, Enbarr is linked to the sea and is said to be a creature of great beauty and power. Here are some key aspects of Enbarr:

While some versions describe the horse as having a golden or white coat, other depictions suggest it might be a darker or more mystical-looking steed.

It is said that Enbarr could run across the surface of water as easily as on land, making it a powerful and symbolic creature. This ability connects the horse to the Celtic belief in the liminality between the land and the sea, realms both known and unknown.

Enbarr is most famously associated with the Irish hero Manannán mac Lir, the sea god. Manannán is often depicted as riding Enbarr, further cementing the creature’s magical and divine status.

Enbarr is also sometimes connected with the Tuatha Dé Danann, the ancient and powerful race of gods in Irish mythology. In some accounts, the horse is a gift to a hero or a deity.

The horse in Celtic mythology is often a symbol of nobility, power, and freedom. Enbarr's ability to travel across land and sea may also represent a bridge between worlds, or the journey between the known and the unknown.
