Nina is taking a new step in her career to become an entrepreneur with her partner Alexander Rohling. Tiina Tuunanen will continue as Nina's long-term groom.
 
Nina recalls: "The previous 10 years spent at Stephex Stables have been very educational and the support from Stephen Conter has been invaluable to my career. I have had the opportunity to compete with top class horses with a large team behind me. Going solo has been my plan for quite some time and now the time is right. It will be really exciting for me to develop new horses my own way."
 
Nina and Alex will rent space for their horses at Noora and Mikael Forstèn's stables. This provides Nina with top class and versatile training facilities required for professional sports and the freedom needed as an entrepreneur. The stables in Guttecoven are located in southern Netherlands near Maastricht by the border of Belgium and Germany, right at the heart of leading European equestrian countries.
One of the most important aspects at Guttecoven is that being placed in a Finnish owned facility it will hopefully benefit Finnish equestrian sports on an international level.
 
Unfortunately we won't be seeing Nina competing with Mouse and Talent, the horses owned by Stephex Stables and the Crack Furniture Store. Now that Nina is leaving Stephex Stables and going solo, this leaves an open door and rare opportunity for investors, owners and sponsors to bring their horses or products into the winners circle at the highest international level and offers a possibility for riders who appreciate a committed coach.
