Brazil's female show jumping rider, Luciana Diniz, has announced the passing away of her former WC-horse, Dover. The son of Folclorico Xx passed away aged 33-years-old. "Dover was a genius horse. Maybe not the most beautiful but he was a super star..."
Dover was the ticket to the highest level of our sport for Luciana. Together with the sire she competed up to a 1.60m level. The main performance of their career was a team ranking with the Brazilian team at the World Equestrian Games in Aachen.
"Hij was a simple soul, born by accident. Nothing spectacular, still he turned out to become a star with a junior rider ... He will forever be my super star..."
