Dala Horse Black Glitter LE 50

Dieses Pferdchen ist ein Weihnachtsgeschenk, dass ich im Jahr 2012 von meiner lieben Freundin und Nachbarin safri erhalten habe.

Es ist auch das einzige Pferdchen, gegen dass ich nicht allergisch bin.
Es wird sicherlich nicht zum Ablegen in Caches genötigt, denn da kommen zuviele Räuber vorbei.
Es wird seinen Platz in der Vitrine neben den Musketieren und den Assassinen beziehen und dort auf neugierige Cacher warten, oder das eine oder andere Event in der nähreren Umgebung besuchen.
Herzlichen Dank fürs dieses tolle Geschenk!

Da Laporca keine Coins mehr sammelt, kam das schwarze Pferdchen zurück zu mir. 

Ich werde keine Discovery Logs und Texte löschen, da dies zur Historie dieses Dala Horse dazu gehört. 

“I don’t think that the soldiers and farmers in the Dalarna area of Sweden ever thought that the simple children’s play thing made from their wood scraps would some day be such a world recognized icon for Sweden!"
Although today’s representation of the Dala Horse only goes back about 150 years, there are records of the first Dala Horses being made and sold almost 400 years ago! The style of painting on today’s horses goes back to the 19th century, where Stickå-Erik Hansson from Mora introduced the technique of painting with 2 colors on the same brush, which is still used today. What started out as a child’s toy became, in the 1800′s, a method for households to actually earn money and the little horses actually became a barter item when the economic hardship of the 1800′s grew. Making and painting Dala Horses became a family art and craft, passed down from one generation to the next. The painting styles actually became very distinctive and could trace a horse back to the family who made it.
Dala Horses made for sale today in Sweden are still hand painted and hand carved. The wood for them is pine and the trees for Dala Horses are chosen while still standing in the forests, using only high quality wood. Because they are all hand made, no two horses will ever be exactly alike!
