The swastika is an ancient symbol in most cultures and symbolises the sun's path in the sky, which is why some people also call it the sun sign. The swastika is a compound word meaning "that which brings happiness" and was until 1945 also used by Carlsberg as decoration on e.g. labels.

We run the stables at Home of Carlsberg with the well-being and welfare of the horses as our main priority. In short, it's about giving the horses the opportunity to fulfil their species-specific needs. We have a light and airy stable where they have plenty of space to relax. The horses come to the paddock every day in groups of 2-4 horses to have the opportunity to socialise with the other horses. The paddock is in J.C. Jacobsen’s Garden. They are fed with free access to straw fodder to fulfil their chewing needs. They work five days a week, for about an hour at a time. In addition to driving, we ride them in nature to exercise and give them a varied day. In the summer, they spend five weeks in the countryside to relax and recharge. We get regular visits from the farrier and vet when needed.

We have a long history and tradition of having horses at Carlsberg. Carlsberg has had horses since its foundation in 1847, and around 1925, we had 200 horses. Today, we have horses to keep the tradition and the business alive. Although we no longer deliver beer by horse-drawn carriage, we still visit customers several times weekly.

Driving a horse-drawn carriage is an art and a craft, and we want to help keep it alive. It's a great way to train and exercise the horses. We drive with two or four horses at a time, which also means that the horse goes with other conspecifics, which is the most natural thing for them. The tradition is also very important to many people; those who work with it and those we meet in the stables at Home of Carlsberg and out in the city.

The ponies are our mascots, and they also have their own small horse-drawn carriage used for special occasions. They also act as companions and company for the other horses and are especially popular with our guests. Right now, our two ponies have one foal each, which will stay with us in the stable until the beginning of 2025. From 2025, they will move to the countryside for a few years. When they are around 3 years old, we will bring them back to the stables at Home of Carlsberg.
