Official blazon=
Origin/meaning
The white horse is derived from a local story. In the time of dragons there lived a nasty one in the mountain overlooking the town Slovenske Konjice. As usually it demanded all sorts of items, like food and girls to spare the town. One day a knight rode in the town on a white horse. After hearing about the situation he engaged the dragon and defeated it. Ever since the white horse is used as a symbol for the town.
The arms as shown by Kobel (1954):
