Fábio Leivas

Fábio Leivas

Fábio Leivas is one of the leading names in Brazilian show jumping, with more than two decades competing on the high-performance international circuit. He has been part of the Brazilian team at some of the most prestigious CSIO5* shows in the world — among them Wellington, Ocala, Rome, La Baule, St. Gallen, Sopot, Vancouver and Hickstead — building a career marked by consistency and competitiveness at the very highest level.

Along the way he has achieved notable results on the international stage, including 2nd place in the 5* Grand Prix of Sopot, 5th place in the 5* Grand Prix of Hickstead and runner-up finishes in Nations Cups held in Ocala, Wellington and El Capricho (Argentina).

In Brazil he has built an equally successful career: he is Brazilian Junior Champion, two-time winner of the Senior Top Ranking, two-time Brazilian Senior Top team champion, two-time winner of the Roberto Marinho Trophy and has won the leading Grands Prix on Brazilian soil more than once — establishing himself as one of the most respected riders of his generation.

Beyond competing, he is recognized for his work in the schooling and development of high-performance horses, having brought several of them to international 5* level. Among the most notable cases is Ilex, a horse he developed and who went on to win the team silver medal at the Paris Olympic Games and individual silver in the Grand Prix of Aachen.

Today Fábio Leivas is part of FARGO, where he applies his experience, technical knowledge and strategic vision to the development of horses, athletes and top-level sporting projects.

Luíza Leivas

Luíza Leivas

Luíza Leivas is a U25 rider from Rio de Janeiro on the rise in show jumping, with international training and consistent experience on the high-performance circuit.

Over six years living in the United States she built her career on the high-performance circuit, competing at some of the world's leading equestrian venues, such as Wellington, Ocala, Kentucky, Tryon, New York and Miami Beach, as well as taking part in shows in Belgium and France.

During that period she finished runner-up in the Pre-Junior division on the American circuit and, at nineteen, won her first Grand Prix in Wellington, a result that confirmed her progress on the international stage.

As part of her training she also had the opportunity to spend three months at the barn of Olympic rider McLain Ward, an experience that broadened her technical repertoire and her exposure to the highest level of the sport.

Early in her career she won the bronze medal at the Brazilian Pré-Mirim Championship and represented Brazil at the South American Championship in the same division, where she finished runner-up with the team.

Today she is part of FARGO, combining her international training, the energy of a new generation and a high-performance outlook to contribute to the development of horses, athletes and sporting projects.
