About Nino des Buissonnets

Nino des Buissonnets is a bay showjumping gelding foaled in 2001, by Kannan.

Nino des Buissonnets was a Selle Français gelding, bred in Bondues, France, by Caroline and Nicolas Deroubaix. Born on 24 July 2001, he was a bay standing at 1.64m. His sire was Kannan, a KWPN stallion known for producing top showjumpers, while his dam, Hermine du Prelet, was a progeny of Narcos II and Belle du Prelet, linked to the successful sire, Alme. This notable breeding set the foundation for an outstanding showjumping career. Paired exclusively with Swiss rider Steve Guerdat, Nino achieved fame by winning the gold medal in the Individual Jumping event at the 2012 London Olympics. At the same Games, he also competed in the team event. His reputation was further enhanced by competing in the 2016 Rio Olympics, achieving finishes in both individual and team events. Nino's accomplishments extended to major competitions, including strong performances in the Rolex FEI World Cup Final at s'Hertogenbosch and securing Grand Prix victories in cities like Rio de Janeiro, Geneva, La Baule, and Helsinki. He retired after December 2016's Rolex Grand Prix at CHI Geneva, having completed 213 starts and 16 wins. Nino's career was defined by his competitive nature and fruitful partnership with Guerdat, leaving both in celebrated form.
