About us
Manufacturing in Nusnäs since 1928
In the 18th century, forest workers in the villages around Mora began carving wooden horses in their logging cabins during the evenings. This is where the predecessor of today’s Dala horse was born. Later, during the 1830s, the horses were decorated with floral patterns — what we today call kurbits.
Our craftsmanship
From the forest to a unique dala horse design
It all begins in the pine forests around western Dalarna — a perfect climate for producing the finest pine wood, dense-grown and ideal for carving. At the local sawmill, the pine timber that will be transformed into Dala horses is carefully selected.
