Join In On The Action As Nilson Heads To Rio!

The Brazilian eventing team has just published the list of team members and made it official: Nilson Moreira da Silva and his horse Muggle will join the team as the traveling reserve.

Nilson & Muggle Named The Brazilian Traveling Reserve!

We're so excited to officially announce that Nilson and Muggle have been officially named as the Traveling Reserve for the Brazilian Eventing team! This such an honor for Nilson to be able to represent his country at the highest level and be apart of the team. We wish them the best of luck!

"I'm happy to be part of the team, I know were I come from. This is really big deal for me and my team! Thank you for your support!" -Nilson Moreira da Silva

We will be sure to be frequently updating you on their journey to Rio and the Brazilian team's results throughout the three days of competition. Again, thank you for your continued support in this milestone in Nilson's career!

Nilson Takes On Barbury!

Nilson & Muggle

After a long few weeks of entering competitions and those competitions being cancelled (thanks to the England weather) Nilson was able to compete in his first competition abroad with Muggle in the CIC3*** and Cash in the CIC2**.

Cash put in a spectacular performance in the 2** division including a DOUBLE clear cross-country run that had him finishing in 36th place out of 92 horses! Muggle also put in a very workmanlike run in his first big competition in quite awhile. The pair went clean and fast across the cross-country course and ended up finishing in 32nd place out of 75 horses!

The Brazil Equestrian Federation is waiting to announce all of the horses and riders competing on the Olympic teams until next week so until then we will have our fingers and toes crossed for Nilson and hope you will to!

Nilson and Muggle still need your support through this journey. If you would like to make a donation towards Nilson's ROAD TO RIO, please click here. Your support has been amazing and we can't thank you enough!
