Pony Shelter

This limestone pony shelter in Southern Skansen was copied from a structure in Öja, on the island of Gotland. The shelter has an open entrance around the back and an upper level for food storage. (Farm animals can live outdoors year-round on Gotland, which has a relatively mild winter climate.)

The animals in the photo are Gotland Ponies, which lived wild in the island's forests until the early 20th Century.
