The Olympic rider João Victor Oliva and the lusitano stallion Escorial will be present at the 4* CDI-Beloura which will take place from the 24th to the 26th of February.

The Brazilian rider has already participated in 2 olympic games and tells us what he felt.
"There were inexplicable emotions, an incredible feeling of achievement. I believe that participating in the most important event in world sport is the dream of all athletes. A very special factor that marked me a lot was that my first games were in my country."

João Oliva has been training in Portugal for a few years and saw great evolution in Dressage in Portugal.
"I think that the level of dressage in Portugal has risen a lot in technical terms on riders, horses and also competitions, that's why it was my choice to live here."

For his goals, the Brazilian rider intends to help "qualifying the Brazilian team for the Olympic Games in Paris and the Pan American Games in Chile."

To achieve these objectives, the path passes through the 4* CDI-Beloura.
"I was very happy to hear that there would be a 4* CDI in Portugal, I have competed in Beloura before and they have always been enjoyable and well organized competitions and I am looking forward to putting on a good performance and giving the best of myself and Escorial HorseCampline."

Sintra hosts the biggest Dressage event organized in Portugal, a village full of history, with natural landscapes of extreme beauty, where the sea unites with the mountains and where culture unites with portuguese gastronomy.

We look foward to meet you here.

The Portuguese Olympic rider Maria Caetano is one of the ambassadors of Portuguese dressage on the biggest stages of the discipline around the world and has been a regular presence in international competitions held at the Quinta da Beloura Horse Center.

For the Portuguese rider, "having a 4* CDI in Portugal is extremely important for the national Dressage. In addition to this level providing the participating duos with extra points for the world ranking (which in a pre-Olympic year is essential), it also brings a greater prestige to our country in these sport."

Due to the level reached, Maria Caetano is inevitably a reference for many riders of younger generations, where excellent international results are already achieved. "Dressage in Portugal has had a great evolution in recent times. Not only in terms of the results obtained by the senior teams in the major championships, but also in terms of youth, which has shown an increase in participation in the respective levels, accompanied by a growing quality of riders and horses, thus ensuring the future of Portuguese dressage."

The rider has already well defined her goals for this year "2023 is fundamental for Olympic qualification, both individually and in teams. That is why my main objective for this year is to get my horses to perform solidly on international competitions, in order to be able to represent my country in the best way and try to achieve these qualifications."

From the 24th to the 26th of February, Maria Caetano will return to a venue that she knows very well to compete in the 4* CDI - Beloura, which will have a prize money of €20,000, "The CDI in Beloura will be of enormous importance to me, as it will be the "kick-off" for this era with Fenix de Tineo and Hit Plus."
