Helgstrand Dressage sold off part of its 78-acre Wellington equestrian estate for $11.4 million.

Matt Johnson of Engel & Völkers Delray Beach had the listing, and Jonathan Potsam of Coldwell Banker Realty represented the buyer.

According to its website, Helgstrand Dressage maintains locations in Germany and Denmark. The operation has sold more than 800 horses since its inception, including world champion and Olympic horses. Helgstrand himself won an Olympic bronze medal for the Danish team in 2008 for his ride with Blue Hors Don Schufro.
Helgstrand bought the original tract of 78 acres for $17.5 million in 2020, records show. It was formerly known as Windsome Farms.
An LLC affiliated with Transworld Oil USA bought the estate for $2 million in 1989 and completed construction of the facility in 1995. Helgstrand’s center includes 52 horse stalls, residences and tack rooms, as well as trails and training rings.
The 35-acre portion Helgstrand sold is undeveloped land, and the listing marketed it as a development opportunity.
