The horse represents the Canadian horse and thus Canada, the birthplace of Mr. Bathija’s children. It also symbolizes grace under pressure and refers to Mr. Bathija’s interest in horses and horse racing. The sword represents the City of London, of which he is a Freeman, his support for the armed forces of Canada and the United Kingdom, and the idea of defending family and home. The wheel alludes to the Dharmachakra.
