Marie José Hulsmans' Grand Prix horse Knock Out has been sold to the United States. The 11-year old black gelding has been sold to Robert Dover's student Melissa Krecytz of Long Island, USA.
Bred by H. Kolen from Berkel-Enschot, The Netherlands, Knock Out is by Naturel out of a Pericles xx dam.
Marie José Hulsman still has one Grand Prix horse left, the dapple grey Le Montrachet. Hulsman accompanied Knock Out to the United States . "I really do not like it to sell a horse, but Knock Out's life would be better in Long Island than here. He has one groom entirely to himself. He will be put in the pasture a couple of hours a day and his new rider Melissa is a good rider and can do any movement with him," Hulsman said. Krecytz and Knock Out will be competing at Intermediaire I level.
