Coat of Arms

Shield Gules a horse passant Argent on a basement Vert in front of a tree of the same.
Meaning:
The arms of Horsens are canting, the name is derived from Hors, old-Danish for horse. The arms are based on the oldest seal from Horsens is known since 1368, but it probably dates from around 1300. It already shows the horse. The second and third seals of the city all display the same pattern. Only a seal from 1660 shows a different posture with the horse statant. The city arms were approved in 1938. Ralf Hartemink´s webpage
