"In 1961 Ulla's father, a cavalry officer who had trained his daughter from early on, was offered a 4-year old gelding by breeder Sixten Pohl from Röstanga in Sweden. Pohl thought this chestnut would suit an ambitious young lady such as Ulla and the then 24-year old actually liked the horse. "When I tried Ajax the first time he was very fresh and lively, very forward going and did some bucks," said Håkanson."
