About Mellby Gård Trotting Business
Since Rune Andersson acquired the farm in 1986, Mellby Gård has run a significant trotting business. Over the years, the business has evolved to suit the conditions of the farm and the family’s interest in trotting. Today, the breeding of trotting horses is qualitative rather than quantitative. Mellby Gård now owns about 80 horses, most of which have grown up on its own farm. The scope of Mellby Gård’s breeding activities differ from that of many other breeders, as the aim is not to sell the horses but to compete with them themselves.
