About this deal

Spray the area with fly spray if there are a lot of flies but not the areas where you will be painting on your horse.

Set everything up in the area where you are going to paint your horse before you bring it over, so you are ready to go and your horse doesn’t have to stand tied up longer than necessary. I wouldn’t go out of your way to get an airbrush gun unless you really want to and/or are artsy and want to go above and beyond. In your kiou’ll be supplied with soft pine wood in a horse shape, a very sharp knife, band-aid (you might need it) and basic instructions. Sedating the horse to paint because the horse won’t stand still, as a precaution or doesn’t like it.Some horses do love the attention, enjoy the painting process, hanging out and relaxing just as they would if they were being brushed, playing the “friendly game” or getting a gentle massage. Any kind of paint that is safe to go on a human is generally safe to go on horses as well. This includes paints such as face paint and body paint. Often, you can simply give your horse a bath with water. Warm water works better, but you can use hose water as well.

The best paints to use on your horse will vary based on where you are painting on your horse, how many color options you want, the cost of the paint and how much paint you need. So you will need to decide whether your horse has the right temperament to stand for being painted on. Painting is not the same thing as grooming nor bathing. This is the process that takes place to this day: wood carvers shape the Dala horses at home. The next time you buy a Dala horse, look into where it’s made – obviously there are also mass-produced ones these days – and try to get the authentic versions to help protect this traditional craft. The Swedish Dala horse: a classic carved wooden toy that many of us see as a representative of traditional Swedish design. True, it’s a unique and lovely decor piece, but there’s more to the Dala horse than that.You want to be really careful not to get the paint in your horse’s eyes, and it is best to just avoid painting near the eyes or the nose. Before you throw out old poles or fence posts, cut off the broken ends and so you have a short pole to create a skinny. Safety first

An opinion piece from Horse & Hound explains how upset people are anthropomorphizing horses in regards to their being painted as being abused. Painting horses is meant to be something light-hearted and fun, not abusive to the animal. The paint should come right off with a bath. You can use a little soap and scrub lightly. Make sure you are careful not to get paint or soap in your horse’s eyes.I took part in this workshop and made a very rough version of a Dala horse, but I like it. I now have a greater appreciation for the Dala horse carvers, and my own little souvenir to take home. It’s a fun and hands-on way to learn something new, as well as get a taste of the skill that goes into this this beloved traditional craft.
