IT STARTED WITH
a childhood dream
Rapidsrock was founded in 2012! But it really started long before that...
​
It started with a young blond boy in Norway and a vivant of a girl in Sweden. The common denominator, a passion for horses and a dream of someday having their own stud.
AND SO THEY MET
In 1984, Karin and Per-Ola met and they were (and are) inseparable. With Per-Ola's drive and constant search for improvement, and Karin's patience and analyzing the most strategic next move, they became true partners. One could say that they built on one another; Karin improving Per-Ola's feel for dressage and Per-Olas input with what he's learned in the showjumping arena. However, they both met on the horseracing-scene with an eagerness to learn more about the horse's mind.
OUR PASSION IS HORSES
And that goes back way before Rapidsrock was established.
The family has been into horses for decades. It started with show jumping and dressage but took a turn to horse racing for almost three decades before we finally found the way back to showjumping.
