Alcides Rodrigues shares the responsibility for training, showing, and management here at Rae-Dawn Arabians.  Alcides grew up in Brazil, born from a family of great horsemen, with a deep love for and connection to horses, which allows him success in handling the finest horses in the world.  His commitment and caring nature made Alcides a perfect fit for Rae-Dawn Arabians.

An extremely talented handler, Alcides has accumulated many United States National championships throughout his career.  Margaux Rodrigues, Alcides’ wife, is also apart of Rae-Dawn Arabians and is responsible for helping prepare our horses for show and presentation. It is under her guidance that the show horses are safely prepared and kept in top condition - ensuring both the horses' physical and mental well being.
