a horse that ditched gravity and made it look effortless.

means In Greek mythology, Pegasus is the winged divine horse, and by extension the name has come to evoke any majestic, flight-capable steed or soaring inspiration.

from From Greek Pēgasos, the immortal winged horse said to have sprung from the blood of the slain Gorgon Medusa. The ancients linked the name to pēgē, 'spring' or 'fountain,' partly because Pegasus was tied to water-springs (his hoof was said to open the Hippocrene spring on Mount Helicon) — though modern scholars suspect the name may actually have older, non-Greek roots, possibly from a Luwian or Anatolian word for thunder or lightning.
