Rodrigo Pessoa has acquired the 10 year old Jordan II (Air Jordan x Voltaire) to support Status for next year's Olympic Games. The gelding has previously been ridden by Swedish rider Angelie von Essen and the two were double clear in the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup in Rome in May. Rodrigo says to Studforlife.com that he is no longer chasing the World Ranking, but the Olympic Games are an important event for him. Because his place in the Brazilian team is relatively safe he can prepare his horses towards the Games without the pressure of competing every weekend to climb the ranking.
