Villandstallen at Hallingtunet is a traditional combination of a stable and a barn with a loft on the second floor. It was built in Hol in 1720. 200 years later the building was taken down and rebuilt at Marienlyst, where it stands today. The exhibition shows the horse in its two functions: on the first floor as a working horse, on the second floor as a holiday horse. After the presentation, the students must ride a bit and shape horse figures in clay.
