He went to Moscow with a friend in summer 1991 to buy some horses, the political state of the country was a mess and the state was desperate for US dollar so they sold alot of horses for almost no money. They went to a big equestrian centre outside Moscow where hundreds of horses were on sale. From the beginning he was not looking for ponies at all, but when he saw those ponies standing together he decided to make a deal. It was 5 ponies aged between 5-8, most of them in some kind of red colour, two yellow and maybe some black he remembers. He asked where they came from and they said -Circus. He do not know if they accually came from a circus or if they only were trained to do tricks and high dressage... He could not remember if there were stallions at the time, but when they arrived in sweden 6 month later they were recently cut. He had the ponies (and also two big horses who followed) for some month and then selling them off. He did not remember so many details, but one (Tuki) went to GFRK, Aku to LERK, and he thought he sold one to the very north of sweden. He did also remembered that he sold one to a ridingschool but got it back after a while since the pony was to difficult to handle.
Today Claes Peterz�n have his own riding centre in Trollh�ttan, TFRK, but he still provides fine horses for the western part of Sweden.
