The Brazilian showjumper Alvaro Alfonso de Miranda Neto, known as Doda, is sponsored by the German fashion brand Pikeur since last year. To settle this, there was a press conference on April 23 in Valkenswaard, where the Brazilian and his Greek wife Athina Onassis have their home base.
An important event for both rider and sponsor are the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Doda is working hard to acquire young horses for this great cause. He owns already a horse with very good opportunities, he says. It concerns the now six Cupido (Unaniem x Rash R, breeder H. de Roover from Strijbeek), who won the VION Cup as 4 yr old with Mischa Everse and finished 7th at the World Championships in Lanaken last year.
Doda: "I have never ridden such a good horse in my life. He is very careful, very powerful and great to ride. He was actually Athina, but she grants it to me. ' Cupid has been owned by Everse Stables.
