Louis
Hine: From Rising Talent to 7-Goal Star
We are
proud to celebrate a major milestone in the career of Louis Hine, one of
Krono Polo’s earliest ambassadors and a true embodiment of polo excellence.
After an incredible season in the United States — culminating in a stunning
victory at the prestigious USA Gold Cup — Louis has had his handicap
officially raised from 5 to 7 goals. A well-deserved recognition for a
player whose journey has been nothing short of inspiring.
Louis’
story with Krono Polo began before the brand even officially launched. As a
talented young player with a zero-goal handicap, Louis was among the
very first to test Krono Polo products, riding alongside the now-owner of the
brand. From those early days, his potential for greatness was clear — not just
through his talent, but through his attitude, dedication, and understanding of
the sport.
Polo runs
deep in the Hine family's blood. His father, Andrew Hine, was a
respected professional player during the 1990s, paving the way for a lifelong
family commitment to the sport. His brother, Ned Hine, is also an
outstanding professional player, and just a few weeks ago, his sister, Milly
Hine, achieved the highest ladies’ handicap of 10 goals, placing her
among the elite in women’s polo.
Behind all
these achievements stands a fundamental pillar of their success — Robyn Hine,
their mother, who has given unwavering support, guidance, and the strong values
that have enabled Louis, Ned, and Milly to reach such incredible levels of
excellence. Her role, often behind the scenes, has been absolutely
crucial in shaping not just great players, but great individuals.
At Krono Polo, we are incredibly proud to have been part of
Louis’ journey from the very beginning. Watching him grow from a talented young
boy into one of polo’s rising stars has been an honor. We have no doubt that
even greater accomplishments are yet to come.
Congratulations, Louis, on your 7-goal handicap and your
continued success — the future of polo is in exceptional hands.
