Carlos Hank Guerreiro fulfilled his childhood dream by riding H5 Porthos Maestro WH Z for Mexico at the Paris Olympic Games in 2024. In a recent competition in Florida, the duo won the CSI4* Horseware Ireland Grand Prix with a time of 39.98 seconds, beating out top riders like Bertram Allen and Jessica Springsteen.

Guerreiro expressed gratitude for the atmosphere at the Wellington International competition, calling the “Saturday Night Lights” very special and motivating. Despite tough competition from other fast riders, Guerreiro’s strategy of taking calculated risks paid off, leading to a victory in the Grand Prix.

This win was particularly impressive considering it was H5 Porthos Maestro WH Z’s first Grand Prix appearance at WEF this season and only the second of the year. Guerreiro praised his horse’s performance, noting that despite being on holiday, Porthos surprised everyone by giving his all in the competition.
