\u201cI feel amazing, first of all because I won,\u201d Seabra said afterwards . \u201cI thought the course was really delicate, with only five clear rounds, but it was fantastically well-built. It was my first time winning the Grand Prix here in Oliva.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been here before and I love the place,\u201d Seabra said about Centro Ecuestre Oliva Nova. \u201cOliva is always one of my first choices when deciding which tours to attend. It\u2019s very easy to manage when you have several horses, and my entire team enjoys coming here. It\u2019s always one of my first options.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
