Two Epona artifacts are currently at the International Museum of the Horse in Lexington, Kentucky, as part of "All the Queen's Horses" exhibit through August 24, 2003.
The Maryport and Wiltshire Eponas are on display.
The Wiltshire Epona, a small bronze figure depicting Epona seated between two ponies (mare and stallion), may have originally been mounted on the front of a chariot.
I've been to the exhibit, and it is well worth the admission just to see two Epona artifacts in person. Other items of interest include a Celtic chamfron (horse head armor), Roman cavalry helmets (including a nice parade helmet), and some hipposandals (strap-on horse shoes).
