In addition of being the 2012 Olympic Champion, Steve Guerdat is also the winner of the two last editions of the World Cup Final. He masters indoor competition with all of his horses, and is one of the most serious competitors on the Masters Grand Slam. His father Phillipe Guerdat trained Steve, when he began riding at the age of nine in his hometown of Bassecourt, Switzerland. Since then, he has claimed many titles such as Olympic team Bronze medalist in 2008, team gold medalist at the 2009 European Championships as well as two times second at the 2012 and 2013 World Cup Finals that all have ratcheted him into the upper echelons of show jumping. His father still looks on with pride, and when Steve came out of the ring as winner of the Individual Olympic Gold Medal at London in 2012, Phillipe was the first to embrace his son in congratulations. After winning the World Cup Grand Prix in Helsinki and being 3rd in the Stuttgarts one in 2014, Steve finally won his first World Cup Final in 2015, in Las Vegas, after many years trying to reach that objective. One year later, he won it for the second time in Goteborg. Last summer, Steve wanted to win another Olympic gold medal with his fantastic Nino des Buissonets, but will finish at the 4th individual position, which stays a great performance for a great rider.
