Offield Farms’ KWPN stallion Hexagon’s Louisville/Burgraff will be returning to his birthplace before the end of the year.Louisville will stand at stud in the Netherlands at Stal Hexagon and have the opportunity to directly influence the mare base of that region and other parts of the Europe. Hassler Dressage has been proud to manage Hexagon’s Louisville over the past few years and we will dearly miss his charismatic presence and enormously kind nature in our stable every day. We appreciate how much it will mean to Louisville’s breeder Leunus van Lieren to have Louisville retire at ‘home’ and to have the opportunity to produce more top offspring like Hexagon’s Wonderella and Hexagon’s Welnetta, both top mares which have shone for their sire Louisville in international sport. Hassler Dressage will continue to manage mares to Hexagon’s Louisville through frozen semen. ” I am really excited that Louisville will return to Holland. I have watched his babies grow up in Holland, and there are a couple older colts here in the US. I am thrilled that Louisville passes on to his mares his incredible character and work ethic. He was, after Lingh, my favorite ride, as he was as light as a feather, as steady as the Rock of Gibraltar and the MOST FUN HORSE TO RIDE I EVER HAD ! I want to thank Mike Etherly for helping me purchase him, we must have seen 50 Grand Prix horses on that trip and it was at Stal Hexagon that we saw Louisville for the first time. I encourage any breeder to look at him carefully for their mares.”
