Day after day – The way we were, we are now and will be in the future<\/h4>

Nelson Pessoa, Neco, a horseman of immeasurable wisdom and experience, has been and still is a direct witness of the changes that have affected our sport starting in the 1960s.\u00a0<\/span>This is what he had to say.<\/span><\/p><\/p>

Slow but constant<\/b><\/p><\/h4>

<\/div>

There have been changes and this is obvious.<\/p>

It all happened over time with a slow but constant evolution. This does not apply so much to the talent shown by riders which is the same for those 100 years ago, 50 years ago or for those who will ride in the future, but instead applies to the sport\u2019s evolution, the number of people involved, the number of horses, of shows, which have all increased exponentially. These large numbers provide greater chances of providing us with more great riders and therefore champions. This is in a sense a good thing. As in all things, evolution does not always lead to better quality in general, or a better standard of living, but in our sport there are many things one should consider as positive: sport as an industry, the quality of the horses, the number of horses and riders and the entire sector\u2019s industrial aspect that has become gigantic.<\/span><\/p>
