Tattersalls Appoints Knut Arnesen as Scandinavian Representative

Tattersalls, Europe’s leading bloodstock auctioneers, has appointed Knut Arnesen as the Tattersalls representative in Scandinavia.

Arnesen has held a training licence in Norway for over forty years and has also been extensively involved in the domestic Scandinavian breeding industry, standing stallions including Evasive and Mutajally. Arnesen also has a wealth of experience as a shipping agent having transported horses from Newmarket to Scandinavia since 2000.

Commenting on the appointment, Tattersalls Managing Director Matthew Prior said;

“Knut Arnesen is a great addition to the Tattersalls team of overseas representatives, we place huge emphasis on promoting all Tattersalls sales to as wide an international audience as possible and we are delighted that he has joined us. Well-known and hugely respected in the Scandinavian racing and bloodstock industry, Knut brings a wealth of experience to the role and his knowledge and extensive contacts in Scandinavia will be invaluable.”

Commenting on his appointment, Knut Arnesen said;

“I am thrilled to be joining Tattersalls as Representative for Scandinavia. The racing industry in Scandinavia continues to become more international with increasing numbers of horses competing on the global stage and being imported each year. We have seen tremendous success from Tattersalls graduates among them, with Norwegian-trained UAE Oaks winner Queen Azteca the star example last year, and I am looking forward to the opportunity to encourage buyers from Norway, Sweden and Denmark to come to Newmarket to source horses from the market-leading sales at Tattersalls.”
