The story of this rampant horse is a simple and fascinating one.
The emblem was emblazoned on the fighter plane of Francesco Baracca, the ace of World War I, who was shot down at Montello.
In 1923, when competing in the first Circuito del Savio, at Ravenna, he made the acquaintance of Count Enrico Baracca, the hero's father; as a result of that meeting, he was subsequently introduced to the ace's mother, the Countess Paolina Baracca, who one day said to him: Ferrari, why don't you put my son's rampant horse on your car? It will bring you luck"
The horse was, and has remained, black; whilst Enzo added the gold field, this being the color of Modena"

Why is a horse the sign of a Ferrari?
The famous Ferrari logo with the 'prancing horse' symbol was originally the character of Count Francesco Baracca, a legendary "asso" (ace) of the Italian air force in the period of World War I. The designer of the Ferrari logo painted this icon on the side of his plane. It was later assumed after his death that the selection of the horse of the Ferrari logo on his planes was because of the fact that his noble family owned a large number of horses in their estates Lugo di Romagna.
