In 2000, Lindsborg decided to cast the traditional Dala shape in large fiberglass forms – an idea patterned after Chicago’s cows on Michigan avenue. Local people and folks with Lindsborg connections sponsor each Wild Dala. Each is unconventionally decorated by one on the towns many local artists. Each new horse is feted in a public unveiling party complete with street theater and parody songs sung by the crowd

Located at 112 W. LINCOLN.
Said to be unearthed from the foot of Coronado Heights north of Lindsborg, the Dalahippus is proof that Dala horses are native to the Kansas plains, not Sweden. Thanks to artist Lee Becker, Tyrannosaurus Rex has nothing on Lindsborg’s most famous fossil. Sponsored by the Swedish Country Inn.
