Replace this example text below with information about you: Hans and Karen Hurley-Langseth have been involved with the breeding of horses for the past decade. Karen, originally from Pennsylvania U.S.A., brings with her extensive experience in training and competing horses around the entire eastern coast in most equestrian disciplines (Dressage, Eventing, Show Jumping, Equitation, Pleasure and Combined Driving, and even U.S. Pony Club Mounted Games), but has focused primarily on dressage over the past 25 years. Karen and her dressage horse, Arion, boarded and trained for a few years with the three-time U.S. Olympic dressage rider and FEI judge, Jessica Ransehousen, who was also the Chef d'equipe for the U.S. Dressage Team for several years (including the Olympic Games in Barcelona, Atlanta, Sydney, and Athens) and was inducted in the USDF Hall of Fame. Highlights among Karen's numerous competition successes were qualifying and placing at the AHSA/USET National Dressage Championships, and later when Karen's dressage horse Arion, ridden by Todd Flettrich, went on to win individual gold and team silver medals at the North American Young Riders Dressage Championships.

In addition to equine pursuits, Karen is an Artist and Art Historian with a Bachelor of Arts Degree from U.S.A., and a second Bachelor's Degree as well as a Master's Degree from Norway. Karen has therefore established an Art Gallery at Hammar and plans to wrtite a cultural and historical brochure about the residence and property.
