While strolling through Sweden it doesn't take long to notice that there are many shops that sell The Dala Horse. I learned that through the years it has become a symbol of Sweden.
According to wikipedia...A Dalecarlian horse or Dala horse (Swedish: Dalahäst) is a traditional carved and painted wooden statuette of a horse originating in the Swedish province of Dalarna. In the old days the Dala horse was mostly used as a toy for children; in modern times it has become a symbol of Dalarna as well as Sweden in general.
So when we moved into the house I made sure to leave a spot in my kitchen for my own horse.
