The Great Mare (la Grand Mare, grant jument or grand'jument in French) was a gigantic mare that was ridden by giants in several Renaissance works. Stemming from medieval traditions inspired by Celtic mythology, she first appeared in The Grand and Priceless Chronicles of the Great and Enormous Giant Gargantua, written in 1532, in which Merlin created her from bones atop a mountain.
