Swedish Dalecarlian horse!

Today we made a change in our planes and went back to Rättvik in Dalarna, Sweden to visit our friends. We can say that we followed the good weather.
This area is known for the horses, which you see everywhere, in windows, om letterboxes, on signs etc.
A Dalecarlian horse or Dala horse (Swedish: Dalahäst)[p] is a traditional carved, painted wooden horse statuette originating in Swedish province Dalarna (Dalecarlia). In the old days the Dalecarlian 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.
