: : What is the meaning of a women telling you 'I want the white horse'?

: More context would be helpful.. she may want heroin, cocaine, a brand of whiskey, directions to the Uffington White Horse in Oxfordshire -- she might even want an actual white horse.
: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Horse

I think it means she wants a knight in shining armor riding a white horse. She wants the romantic ideal.
