FILIPE MASETTI LEITE BIOGRAPHY
Filipe Masetti Leite, world-renowned Long Rider, award-winning filmmaker, and best-selling author, is the youngest person in the world to cross the Americas on horseback. An eight-year journey that took Filipe and his beloved horses across 12 nations trekking more than 27 000 kilometres. Two statues in Brazil now stand in commemoration of his unbelievable achievement, while his first pair of boots is showcased at the Bata Museum in Toronto and his cowboy hat at the SAM Centre Museum in Calgary.
Travelling at 3 km/h and 30 km a day, relying on the kindness of strangers, Filipe Masetti Leite saw the reality of life on this planet. With devastating droughts, the threats of grizzlies and snakes, the unpredictable weather, and the deadly impact of the drug trade, daily life is hard. But it’s also beautiful. Despite the hardship, he was overwhelmed by the kindness of people who had nothing but were willing to offer a place to sleep and water and pasture for his horses.
The true lesson Filipe learned from his odyssey is that there is always a way to accomplish anything you can dream if you can put your fears aside and take that first step!
The son of modest ranchers, Filipe Masetti Leite had the immigrant experience, living in both Brazil and Canada, and understands the entrepreneurial spirit. He is a strong advocate of mental health, the Children’s cancer hospital in Barretos, Brazil, and the horse as a metaphor for success and the path to happiness. His journeys took him from boy to man, to national hero, only to fall to PTSD and have to climb back on the horse to take a new journey inward. Eventually, he closed the loop where it all began, from Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina, the journey was complete.
In 2020 the cowboy was chosen as the Calgary Stampede’s Grand Marshal and white-hatted by Mayor Naheed Nenshi. He is the author of the best-sellers, Long Ride Home (major motion picture in production) Long Ride to the End of the World and Last Long Ride, published in Portuguese and English, and soon to be released in Spanish. Filipe Masetti Leite is a regular contributor to The Toronto Star, and a commentator on Sportsnet for the Calgary Stampede. His feature documentary, The Long Rider, was released in theatres all over the world in 2022 and is streaming on Super Channel and Amazon Prime. To date the film has won 21 international awards and has an 83% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
Filipe is engaged to his fiancée Clara Victoria Davel, who he met during his Long Ride in Patagonia, Argentina. He is fluent in Portuguese, Spanish, and English and has spoken to big businesses, organizations, associations, and universities all over the world like; StoneX, UFA, CISCO, JBS, John Deere, Algar Telecom, Ryerson University, Rotary Clubs in Canada, Brasil and Uruguay, 4H, Alaska Land Trust, CEVA, Mellohawk Logistics, Saskatchewan Pork, JBJ, Carbom Brasil, Syngenta and others.
During his inspirational presentation, Filipe Masetti Leite discusses themes like strategic planning, teamwork, leadership, resilience, mental health, diversity and inclusion, Ag and ranching, and the benefits of connecting with nature and horses. All while keeping the audience on the edge of their seats with unbelievable footage and photos from his odyssey.
