Sweden in a country with a very strong tradition of horsemanship. I visited southern Sweden in 2010, starting off in the wonderful city of Malmo, before moving inland to Lund and to see the National Stud and Equestrian College at
Flyinge.
Firstly, here some photos taken a couple of years ago at the
Malmรถ City Horse Show.
The venue is right in the heart of this wonderful little city. It will be hosting the European Eventing Championships in 2013.

Gimmel is a German horsebox manufacturer.
Note the elevating roof section over the centre of the lorry - quite possibly for a groom's bunk over the bathroom. |
The horse show seemed to have two main events: An international FEI three day eventing competition and a local pony club meet. See if you can guess which horseboxes belong to which event
.

| There were quite of few of these little single-axle trailers, pulled by modestly-sized family cars. |
 |
| This is actually a 7.5t motorhome towing a simple horse trailer. |
The area around
Flyinge must be some of the most horsey in the world. So between visiting the wonderful equestrian estate at the Swedish state stud and equestrian college, I managed to snap a few pictures of horse transport solutions.
