"Lieven Devos contacted me with the question if I wanted to ride Giovanni. I knew the horse and his history. He has another model than the horses I'm riding right now, but I'm confident that he has a lot of potential. He arrived at my stables two weeks ago and we already started training. I'm very happy with the way he is jumping right now but I know I have to be realistic because one of the top riders (Pius Schwizer) of the world was riding him before me. I think he will do great during the outdoor season, since big show rings are more his thing. I'll use this winter to become a team with him and during the outdoor season I'll probably will be really needing him. I have a lot of good horses right now, but I've been climbing on the World Ranking since two years now... That's great but it chanced my way of working. I always wanted to school my young horses myself, but that became very difficult since I'm at a 5-star show almost every weekend. I'm also really looking forward to the Sunshine Tour, where all my youngsters will get the opportunity to gain a lot of experience", Guéry adds.
