While Rhiannon and Epona share an affinity with horses and there are some undeniable comparatives they are not the same deity.

Rhiannon is a Welsh Goddess, thought to be a goddess of horses, a lunar goddess that symbolises rebirth, fertility and forgiveness.  Rhiannon is strongly associated with the otherworld and most definitely the fae!  Sometimes being to referred to as the Queen of the fairies.

Epona, another Celtic Goddess, on the other hand is believed to have been born from a horse and a mortal man.  She is known as the Goddess of Mares and foals.  She is the protector of horses, leading them into the underworld when their fleeting time had passed.  She also symbolic of abundance and fertility.
