End of partnership

IT was announced yesterday that the partnership between Stutteri Ask A/S and Swedish rider Rolf-Göran Bengtsson of Stall Bengtsson & Kristoffersen (Breitenburg, Germany) has come to an end. Stutteri Ask has been the main sponsor of Stall Bengtsson & Kristoffersen since April 2013.

Reasons cited included the parties having different plans and future strategies making a continuing partnership difficult. Unita Ask will return to Stutteri Ask in the near future together with Boston Ask. Casall Ask and Clarimo Ask are owned by the Holsteiner Verband and will remain with the top Swedish rider.
