Juan Matute Guimón reflects on a year in which he spent months in hospital fighting for his life, and looks ahead to his hopes for Tokyo.
To speak to
Juan Matute Guimón is always a pleasure, but to do so at the end of this year is something even more special.
The Spanish Dressage ace is a ball of enthusiasm and positivity. He loves doing what he does, he loves his horses and his sport and appreciates that blessing of pursuing one’s passion as a career.
I last spoke to him in February just after he’d completed a 100km trek with wild horses in the Pyrenees. At the time he’d also just recently recorded a personal best of 77.9% with Don Diego and secured four top 10 finishes in a row in the FEI Dressage World Cup and was so excited for the final in Las Vegas and following in his father’s footsteps by becoming an Olympian in Tokyo.
