Rödluvan in the snow Part 38 A ride with the horse Helge 2010-12-04
This day I felt VERY happy. I made a ride in the carriage with the horse Helge. A young man took the picture with my camera.
I walked to Gammlia. And enjoyed this beautiful fir trees.
Ther was a little dog  in the street. Do you see it :-) LOL :-)
Many people were on their way to Gammlia.
A Sami tent.
In summer this was a pasture for the horses.
The had Christmas market at Gammlia. A blacksmith had made a moose of iron.
Sheep rocking-horses.
Because there were a lot of people on the market it was to difficult to take pictures. I left the market and walked around at Gammlia.
Everything was so different. No animals in the barn and a lot of snow on the ground.
No hens in the hen house.
And no horse in the stable.
The Christmas tree at Gammlia.
They baked flat bread in the bakery house.
The fence was beautiful in the snow.
The sheep house in the background. but now there are no sheep.
This looks like a Christmas card.
The horses were here this summer.
.The pigs were in the pasture  in summer.
The woods.
In summer I heard the blackbird from the woods on this place.
But now I heard another sound. The sound of horse bells. Where did it come from.
I started searching for the horse.
I waked and walked.
I said: "I must find that horse somewhere".
It was not here neither.
But there were horse track on the path.
The hay-drying rack.
They had made ice candle in the woods
An ice candle.
The summer barn in winter
I walked in into the woods.
Then I heard the horse bell sound again.
At least I found the horse. It was riding with a carriage in the woods.
I went to the place there the horse started the ride. The horse was eating hay.
The horse Helge was looking at me.
I made a ride with Helge in the carriage. I took this picture from the carriage.
It was a wonderful ride in the woods. And I heard the sound of the horse bells. I was in the magical woods.
This was one of my most wonderful Christmas memories. Another wonderful Christmas memory was a sleigh ride.
It was getting dark. There was a soft light in the magical woods.
When the horse Helge came to the start place again, he got more hay.
There was another horse. He was standing by a tree. When Helge pulled the carriage. He was neighing some times when Helge disappeared in the woods. But he was not nervous. He knew that Helge should come back after the ride.
I could not get a picture taken in the carriage. But it looks like this when I was in the carriage. There was sheepskin on the benches in the carriage. Otherwise it should be too cold to sit there.
People pet Helge. I also pet him. But there is no picture of this.
I started freezing. It was a cold day. Behind me you can see how the bells on the horse looks.
I said goodbye to Helge and walked home. I will remember Helge. He was such a nice horse.
