Due to new Swedish regulations, Stutteri Wynn cuts down

Due to the new Swedish rules regarding “Swedish born”, we are forced to either stop completely or drastically cut back on our breeding business.

I assume that ST and ASVT want us to no longer register our offspring as Swedish in the future, and we have understood that signal and are taking the consequences accordingly. We will not register any more offspring in Sweden, so congratulations ST and ASVT, the new rules work!

I personally have no faith that protectionism should be the way forward for Swedish trotting sport. After 40 years in a tough transport industry, where I experienced the decision about the “internal market”, which partly opened up for increased competition, BUT also gave everyone the same opportunities, I simply do not understand these new rules. The fact that even experienced Swedish breeders of Swedish horses, in Swedish straw, call the rules the stupidest thing they have ever experienced, says it all. Ridiculous arguments that it is cheaper for us in Denmark, or that there is better weather in France – yes, that says a lot about the basis for the decision.

The possibility of registering Swedish in Denmark exists, but as a “foreign breeder” it is already difficult enough at Swedish auctions, if we then come up with “second-rate” Swedish-registered horses in the future – yes, then it is logical that the price for our products will go down (of course, what ASVT members also see as their chance for better prices). Add to that lower breeder premiums, so the decision is not difficult.

We love trotting, we love breeding trotting horses, we love following them with various trainers, but the conditions are changing so much in an already difficult market that this cannot continue. We will miss the Swedish auctions, not because our offspring have been paid with super prices, but the unity that exists among the breeders who sell, it has been fantastic, even though we are Danish – everyone helps everyone, we will miss that.

We hope to be able to continue with a very limited number, all of which will be Danish registered, but we must consider the financial aspects of that as well.

We have six foals from this year, only two are Swedish, and these will be the last Swedish ones from our farm in Denmark.

I sincerely hope that I am wrong, and God forbid, but I am afraid that these absurd new rules will accelerate a negative spiral in Swedish trotting sport.
