Festive Nordic Christmas Dala Horse Print Color‑Block Long‑Sleeve Quarter‑Zip Riding Top

The Design: Scandinavian Christmas Charm, Made for the Saddle

This top is a celebration of traditional Scandinavian holiday folk-art, thoughtfully adapted for the equestrian wardrobe.

The design features a sophisticated cream off-white main body paired with deep burgundy red side panel color-block detailing—a classic Christmas palette that feels both festive and refined.

Across the torso and full-length sleeves, the artwork unfolds in beautiful detail:

Decorated Dala horses — the iconic symbol of Swedish folk art — stand proudly at the center of the design. Each horse is adorned with traditional painted patterns, bringing a sense of heritage and craftsmanship to the piece.

Evergreen Christmas trees rise tall and full, grounding the composition in classic holiday imagery.

Snowflakes scatter across the fabric in delicate detail, while poinsettia flowers and winter foliage garlands frame the scene with festive warmth.

The result is a print that feels like a treasured Christmas sweater—but designed for riders, with a tailored fit and technical performance fabric.
