Belgium’s Jéròme Guery has been in great form at the Spring MET II 2025 in Oliva Nova, Spain, taking three big wins during the second week of competition prior to Sunday. And on Sunday, Guery and Great Britain V (Nabab de Reve x Carolus H) took yet another win, this time topping the CSI3* 1.50m CHG – Construcciones Hispano Germanas S.A.
Only four from the 44 horse-and-rider combinations at start cleared the first-round track and joined the jump-off, where Guery clocked the winning time of 48.50. Taisie de Gruchy (GBR) and La Presley CJS (Cicero Z x Lancelot) took the runner-up spot as the second double clear in 53.23, while a fence down in 48.86 left Marc Houtzager (NED) and Sterrehof’s Dante (Canturano x Phin-Phin) to third.
With a fence down in 50.94 in the jump-off, Virginie Thonon (BEL) and Scala du Piedroux Z (Silver 2 de Virton x Crown Z) finished fourth, while Nick Nanning (NED) aboard Horse Gym’s Classina (Casalito x Clarimo) took the fifth spot with a single time penalty from round one.
Spring MET II continues next week and runs until March 3rd, followed by MET III in March and MET IV in April.
