The Dalahorse and it's History in Sweden

The Dala Horse (Dalahast) has become an iconic symbol of Sweden. These traditional Dala Horses are lovingly handmade in Sweden using traditional techniques from craftsmen. Much work is involved in creating the Dala Horse, from the feeling of the wood for it to drying it for three to four weeks after the initial carving, which prevents it from splitting once painted. The design is drawn onto the wood & sawed by machine. Each horse is also signed by the craftsman to show its authenticity. No two Dala Horses are the same.
