It's a very odd looking horse. I bow to your superior racing knowledge but I may have passed on that one.

Hi Sir Merv, it’s past form reads something like this…

The age-old Swedish Dala Horse form is a treasured symbol of Scandinavian folklore and culture. It has been around since the 17th century when farmers in Dalarna region originally carved it out from wood. For many generations, this horse became a symbol that figuratively translated into strength and courage amidst hardship, providing hope to never give up - making its significance even more profound now than ever before! Over time this original wooden figurine developed into one of Sweden's most iconic and highly valued symbols with two protruding ears and four legs painted either red or blue. While initially made solely from wood, artisans began producing them using various materials such as fabric for their works nowadays; hence you can come across these horses crafted out of anything ranging from glass to plastic – ideal decorations both inside your home or outside! Its reputation isn't limited just within the boundaries of Scandinavia though; due to its extraordinary appearance the Swedish Dala Horse became popular all over Europe plus North America too where individuals embraced it no matter what their background may be. Whether you are looking for an exceptional ornament piece or simply something that bears connotations with traditional Nordic mythology – there will certainly be some version suitable precisely according to your requirements!

Being honest keeps Sir Merv happy…. he loves a loser, however, with a fair wind behind me I generally bet on a 1 to 5 win to lose ratio…which incidentally is why you go on cruises and I go to Weston-Super-Mare every year :cry:

P.s any donations for a new tent would be much appreciated :thumbup: :wave:
