Origin/meaning
The white horse refers to that of King Henri IV which he bought (was bought for him) at the fair of La Clayette. The horse was from the stables at La Pouge in the village of St Symphorien-des-Bois just outside of La Clayette. Henri rode the white horse to victory in the battle of Ivry in 14 March 1590. Since then the horse has been the symbol of La Clayette. There is also a large statue of a horse on the bank of the lake in front of the Chateau of La Clayette.
The base is canting, the name is derived from La Claie, meaning either a gate/barrier to control the level of water or a rack onto which criminals were tied, or more in general a fence.
