This is very iconic Norwegian. (But very far from my everyday life) These are the same kind of horses that the Norwegian vikings used.
Yesterday we had a Nor'easter, good thing only 6" of snow around us. In Boston, it got 2ft of snow, plus strong wind, etc. Of course, took an outing to the park near me. It's freezing tho.
Due to a good natural harbor and rich fisheries, Bud grew to become the largest village between the towns of Trondheim and Bergen on the west coast of Norway during the Middle Ages.
At the death of King Frederick I in 1533, it was the site of the last independent Norwegian Privy Council, organized by Olav Engelbrektsson, Archbishop of Nidaros. The meeting led to a failed attempt to break away from the Kalmar Union and King Christian III, and claim Norway's independence by rejecting the Protestant Reformation. The council was the last of its kind in Norway for 270 years.
In 1838, the whole parish of Bud was established as Bud Municipality. The municipality was reduced in size in 1918 when Hustad Municipality was created
