This DVD is  the story of the world’s number one show jumper, Rodrigo Pessoa. Approximately 47 minutes in length, this DVD can be viewed in English, French or Portuguese. Footage includes Rodrigo as a young boy on his pony through to many of his unique successes in International competition. Son of show jumping legend, Nelson Pessoa, Rodrigo started show jumping at a young age and by the age of 17 years old was already beating his father
in competition. 

The DVD gives a real insight to the Pessoa team with Nelson finding and training young horses for Rodrigo to take to the International stage. What makes Rodrigo’s career stand out is how many great horses he’s had the privilege to ride. Horses featured in the DVD include Irish gelding, Special Envoy, with whom he rode in his first World Championships and Olympic Games; Tom Boy with whom he had many victories including a Bronze Medal at the Atlanta Olympics; Lianos, winner of the World Championship in Rome, and the stallion, Baloubet Du Rouet, considered to be the best show jumping horse of all time.

An enjoyable and interesting DVD and a must see for show jumping and Rodrigo fans.
