Last outdoor season Guery and Famoso won two CSI2* international Grand Prix's in Bonheiden, Belgium. As a young horse Famoso was ridden by de Vanderhasselt's brothers.
Also Abdel Saïd has sold a top horse to the USA. The eleven-year-old mare, Dakota, will move away from Egypt's Abdel Saïd stables. Said has achieved some very good results with the small mare which he has competed up to 5* level.
Said says to World of Showjumping that “It is with a bit mixed feelings I have decided to sell Dakota. It is a little step back as she was a good horse for me, but in the long run I believe it will be a good thing as I can invest more in my younger horses. I currently have a couple of very talented 8-year-olds I believe very much in and I will now focus on bringing them up to top level. Dakota is such a fighter, and I believe that she will get a very good life in America with a nice rider. I must also compliment Ilan Ferder and Tal Milstein who contributed to making this deal possible in a very correct way.“
