Year of the Horse 2026

On October 23, 2025, Åland Post issued a souvenir sheet in anticipation of the upcoming 2026 Year of the Horse.

The series' creators conceived the idea of ​​focusing not simply on the horse as a cultural and philosophical metaphor, but on the place and role of the horse in modern life.

In developing this series, the artist was inspired by the real-life Stall JoY stable in the village of Samuelstorp in Hammarland. It is the only stable in the Åland Islands that provides hippotherapy for children and adults with disabilities.
