OK...I can't post pictures the old way thru Picasa, but maybe this will work even though it is slow. Between Leksand and Mora is the small community of Nusnäs where the famous Dalarna horses or Dalhäst are made. My mother has 4 of these horses which came out with the Christmas decorations each year. I played with them carefully as a child as they were special and I LOVED horses, and so when the chance came to go and see them being made and maybe get a few of my own we had to go. Here are a couple of pictures from the one of the 3 small operations where they are made.
An interesting twist to this post is that players of the game were given a dalhäst in the World Junior Tournament and a special edition numbered set of these horses were made in Sweden's colours of yellow and blue especially to commemorate this tournament...we have #177.
