In memory of
Nils-Gunnar Hansson
Nils-Gunnar had many years of experience in breeding and followed in his father's footsteps and the starting shot was with the stallion Ismir 597 which was approved in 1979.
In 1982 he started Askö Stuteri which became and is still world famous in equestrian and trotting.
After Ismir 597, a number of stallions followed at the station, but above all, Nisse, with well-chosen riders, got through 9 stallions at the Swedish stallionlicensing.
In addition, he was a contributing link that Cortez 679 remained in breeding.
