Stallion Innovation sold to the United States03 march 2021The KWPN approved stallion Innovation has recently been sold to the
United States of America. The striking Van Gogh son has made a promising
start at De Wiemselbach for both sport and breeding, and that has not gone
unnoticed on the other side of the Atlantic ocean. The Horn family has sold the promising eight-years-old Van Gogh son
with mixed feelings. “We have always had a lot of faith in Innovation and
he is developing positively. Just like himself, his oldest offspring also
combine a beautiful conformation with a lot of jumping talent”, says Daan
Horn. “Through our contacts in the United Staes, there was very serious
interest for Innovation and that, certainly in the current times, is of
course something you should always consider when you run a professional
stable. In addition, we will have his sire Van Gogh still available for
breeding at our studfarm and we have also some other sons of him that we
can offer for breeding in the future.” Bigger classes
The Oldenburg bred Innovation (ds.Contendro I) was approved for the KWPN
studbook as a three-year-old and he scored 80.5 points in the performance
stallion test. Afterwards, Innovation received a praising progeny report
based on his first foals. “Innovation was now performing on 1.35m level
and is ready for the bigger classes. We certainly hope to hear from Innovation
in the future! And in the meantime we have several young talents at our
breeding station with whom we also look forward to the future with great
confidence.” De Wiemselbach will be offering new talents such as Corlou
(s.Cornet Obolensky), Lord of Farming HS (s.Balou du Rouet) and Donthargos
(s.Don Diarado) for the upcoming season. Back
