According to the legend, China's first emperor was FuHsi, half man and half dragon, who consolidated the country into one kingdom around 3000BC. As he was riding along beside the Yellow River, one day, he saw a dragon-horse rise from the water, and on it was a curious design, a series of dots set in concentric rings and linked in a particular arrangement.

Dragone-cavallo o drago cavallo (Longma)
Longma (simplified Chinese: 龙马; traditional Chinese: 龍馬; pinyin: lóngmǎ; Wade–Giles: lung-ma; lit. "dragon horse") was a fabled winged horse with dragon scales in Chinese mythology. Seeing a longma was an omen of a legendary sage-ruler, particularly one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

L’ispirazione per la livrea deriva dal motivo del longma, “il dragone-cavallo”, dove il dragone simboleggia la cultura cinese, che rappresenta coraggio, passione e successo

the alternative to the solution offer from texjax, if your context or better you prefer to compare it to 'Chimeras' that are more known worldwide..
"The Chinese longma "dragon horse" is not culture specific. Mythological hybrid animals or chimeras are known worldwide, including combinations of dragons and horses. In Greek mythology, the *Hippocamp or Hippocampus* (lit. "horse sea-monster"), which supposedly has the head and front legs of a horse and the hindquarters of a dragon or fish, parallels the longma (Carr 1990:154). In Babylonian mythology, "dragon-horse" is a title of the goddess Tiamat (Massey 1907:274). Among the prehistoric hill figures in Oxfordshire, Dragon Hill is below the Uffington White Horse.
