“She has dark hair, so I guess that’s me,” said Rodrigo when asked which parent Luciana resembles. “And for the moment, the eyes are pretty light, so that would be her mom. So far it’s hard to tell.”

But does he foresee any family ponies in the future to continue the Pessoa riding legacy?

“My older daughter, Cecilia, doesn’t ride at all,” he said. “Sophia rides a little bit, so maybe this one will be the rider. We’ll see.”
