The multi-million row over Sweden’s most Olympic horse, Casello, escalate.
Tonight forced the bailiff off the horse to be tested by a buyer.
At the wheel – national team Douglas Lindelöw yourself.
– I’ll sleep in the bus five minutes from Casello of the night to see his best.
Douglas Lindelöw, Sweden’s third highest ranking jumping rider, now fighting desperately to keep the horse Casello he spent nine years taken from zero to the highest world level.
The horse half-owner wants to sell. It would not Lindelöws, and on Wednesday it reached infected dispute a climax.
At noon came the bailiff, and a liquidator on the farm Fulltofta in Horby and announced that the horse would set off to test ridden by one of the world’s biggest horse dealer , Dutchman January Tops.
– We knew nothing in advance. They had a horse trailer, but I managed to get them to agree that I would drive myself so that nothing would happen, says Douglas Lindelöw.
“My life is a nightmare”
Casello run to Stall Karup Lund in Blentarp. Where now stands the horse in anticipation of Jan Tops.
– My life right now is one big nightmare, says 25-year-old who also has a contest shutdown hanging over them.
– Now I try to make sure the horse’s best. I stay there Casello is and take care of him for him to feel as good as possible.
While waiting Lindelöws lawyer on an opinion from the Court of Appeal where the court decision, the enforcement officer is based, has appealed. According to the lawyer is a change of ownership is not possible.
The dispute began last spring. Lindelöws captain then seven million for the half-horse, but was rejected.
– We have expressed increasing bid was refused at all times. Obviously, I will not ride the horse, said Douglas Lindelöw.
Casello was bought relatively cheaply in 2006 by Douglas Lindelöws mother Agnetha and her partner with their good friends Maria Chess Bladh and Lars Inge Bladh. The horse was then only three years, not ridden, and – as it turned out – right cumbersome.
“I have collected all the money”
Douglas Lindelöw has since practiced it up to highest world level. It is now Sweden’s most obvious Olympic horse in jumping.
Lars-Inge Bladh today want not comment on the matter at all to Sportbladet. In an interview last summer, he said:
– We have nothing against the horse stays with Douglas, we encourage it. But then we have to agree.
What is needed to get along?
– More money, we get more money.
Why would you sell now? Can not be left to the Olympics?
– Previously we had been happy there, but you feel cheated do not want to be involved anymore. Otherwise there is no reason to make this kind of decision.
How are you cheated, do you?
– There has been a lack of recognition of the prize money and expenses.
Agnetha Lindelöw has previously declined to argue against the press.
Today she says:
– We’ve been together all the money they asked for. We have everything in the account. Still, they say no. They do not want that Douglas should get the horse.
