A calm carriage team in central Stockholm is the result of training. The Royal Stables describe buying horses aged five to seven and preparing them for about two years for carriage work and city traffic. Younger animals can work alongside experienced partners.
Training includes the riding hall and Djurgården, but also exercises with the Life Guards' Dragoons and mounted police, exposing horses to noise, flags and crowds. Preparation follows the next duty: a state visit, a new ambassador's audience or the opening of parliament. Temperament, fitness and inspection of harness and carriages matter alongside appearance. The ceremonial image begins with the team's everyday work.
