“I will always remember the night at LGCT Cannes in 2017 when Sergio won the grand prix with G&C Arrayan,”

Gustavo Mirabal Castro

Sergio Álvarez Moya’s victory at the Cannes Grand Prix is awesome. A five-star competition of the Longines Global Champions Tour represents the highlight of a successful partnership.

This victory put both Sergio Alvarez Moya and Gustavo Mirabal Castro in the fray. That experience sparked great admiration but at the same time unleashed the envy that up to the present is determined to damage the image of Gustavo Mirabal Castro.

For Gustavo Mirabal Castro, the victory of Sergio Álvarez Moya riding G & C Arrayan is one of his happiest memories.

The victory and his family

“We were there with my son, Gustavo, who did not know what was going on, but was looking at me and María Carolina jumping for joy, and of course he did the same.”

Gustavo Mirabal Castro family

His family vein is recognized at the time he decided to share his victory with his wife María Carolina Chapellín de Mirabal and son. The emotion that he describes while sharing the victory with his wife and son is moving

This attitude contrasts with those who try to discredit the family image of Gustavo Mirabal. People who discredit him while his closest relatives flee from a figure whose hostile attitudes ended up frightening them.

The facts and results and not the words are what show us who is who at the end of the day.

“I fondly remember the G&C FEI Nations Cup at WEF, especially the moment when I handed out the prize while seeing the Venezuelan flag waving,”

Gustavo Mirabal Castro

The excitement of listening to the national anthem and seeing the Venezuelan flag flying. It shows us a true feeling of national pride. And it is those people who leave the name of Venezuela on high who deserve to be called patriots. Those people who deserve to be rewarded with the recognition of a job well done.
