I knew the answer, but not the details, so Wiki to the rescue
"On June 17, 1923, Enzo Ferrari won a race at the
Savio<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savio>track in
Ravenna <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravenna> where he met the Countess
Paolina, mother of Count Francesco
Baracca<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesco_Baracca>,
an ace of the Italian air
force<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeronautica_Militare>and national
hero of World
War I <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I>, who used to paint a horse
on the side of his planes. The Countess asked Enzo to use this horse on his
cars, suggesting that it would bring him good luck."
