Rolf-Göran Bengtsson’s Olympic partner Unita Ask has a new rider: Brazil’s Yuri Mansur. The new pair made their international debut at the CSI2* Easter Tour at Sentower Park in Opglabbeek yesterday, jumping clear to end sixth in the 1.35 class.
Bengtsson’s former sponsor Stutteri Ask bought Unita Ask for him to ride back in February 2014, and the two went on to compete at the Olympic Games in Rio last summer. However, Bengtsson had to let go of the ride on the 13-year-old mare by Corrado I x Caretino when ending the co-operation with Stutteri Ask earlier this year.
