Swedish Lena Nystrom sold her 3-year old Westfalian licensed stallion Rausing (by Rock Forever x Dimension) to California based Elizabeth Ball. The bay stallion was the Danish warmblood 35-day stallion performance test winner this year.
Nystrom discovered Rausing as a 2.5 year old at the Westfalian stallion licensing in Münster and acquired him together with Swedish horse dealer Johan Ifverson. Rausing became a premium licensed stallion with the Danish warmblood society and attracted the interest of Andreas Helgstrand, who after a while changed his mind and did not to buy the colt.
Rausing will remain in Sweden and continue his training with Sandra Sterntorp and Andreas Jonsson who will present him at the 2011 Danish Stallion Licensing in Herning in March. After that Ball plans on bringing Rausing to CA where she will continue his training and show career.
