Acquiring the 8-year-old talent Giorgio d'Ellipse (Prestigio LS La Silla x Kannan), Artemis Farms continues to strengthen Rodrigo Pessoa's string of horses. With Robin Lesqueren in the saddle, the gelding has been produced carefully up to 1.50m level – and recently placed second in the CSI4* 1.45m Small Grand Prix in Deauville, France. 

Les Écuries D'Ellipse – who has bred, and owned, the gelding – announced the sale today, congratulating Artemis Farms and Pessoa on the new addition to their team. 

"I'm very happy that Artemis has acquired this really promising 8-year-old, one of the best of his generation," Pessoa commented to World of Showjumping. "We always look to solidify our string of horses, and Giorgio is really a nice addition! We are very much looking forward to getting started with him. As always, I have to thank Kristy and Jim Clark of Artemis Farm for their support.”
