    • 2012 Old Dominion Raffle Horse

    Congratulations to our
    2011 Raffle Horse Winner - Daryl Downs of PA!


    Nordisk
    by Stratagem out of Norlysa by *Namiet

    Nordisk is a 2008 gelding by Stratagem out of Norlysa by *Namiet. he is a grandson of Asgard's foundation mare Gretora bred by Kale's Arabians (who introduced Russianbred Arabians to America and the world at large about 1976). His dam's sire brings in the important Polish/Russian line of Arax, famous for good body and bone structure, and best known in the USA through his son *Tamerlan. Nordisk currently stands 15 H, and is exceptionally short-backed, with good bone, and a very calm temperament to boot. He was foaled 6/18/08---and this photograph taken at age 3 1/2.

    Since 1998 Halldis and Tom Sayvetz of Asgard Arabians have donated one of their purebred Arabian horses every year to the Old Dominion organization as a raffle horse. Many of those raffle horses have gone on to have fabulous endurance careers with their happy owners with outstanding placings in AERC endurance rides.

    Raffle tickets are available at all OD endurance rides and clinics, and from any of the OD Board Members at any time. Contributions towards the raffle are tax deductible - please make checks payable to the Old Dominion Endurance Ride, Inc (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.) The winning ticket is pulled at the final OD ride of the year. Winners need not be present to win.

    Tickets are $10 each, or 5 for $40.
    For more information on purchasing raffle tickets please contact
    OD Board Member Jack Weber.
