Team Welles is excited to announce their newest collaboration with talented young rider, Giavanna Rinaldi. At the age of 23, Gia has compiled an impressive list of accomplishments including placings at the 3 and 4* levels in addition to representing Team USA during the 2022 Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup Mexico CSIO5*.
“We are very excited to work with a rider of Gia’s caliber. I think that she is one of the best young riders in the United States and has a big future on Team USA. Through Team Welles, Itasca Group and other connections we have an exciting group of up and coming horses in the stable. We look forward to Gia helping produce the horses and them playing a role in her career,” comments Andrew Welles.
Gia joins the Team Welles operations as they begin their spring and summer show schedule, where they will compete in Kentucky, Traverse City, Spruce Meadows, the Hampton Classic and more. Team Welles will return to base out of Chicago, Illinois through the busy summer schedule and looks forward to strengthening their presence in the area, a place that is also Gia’s hometown.
“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Team Welles. They have a great group of horses that I am excited to get to know and grow with. I want to thank everyone involved who helped make this possible. Looking forward to what the future holds!” says Gia.
