Martha Fernanda Del Valle Quirarte (born 3 October 1988) is a Mexicandressage rider. She took part at the2019 Pan American Games and competed at theTokyo 2020 Summer Olympics, ranked 51st individually.[1]
Del Valle started riding at the age of 5. She was selected to compete at the2019 Pan American Games inLima, where she placed 15th individually and helped the Mexican team a 4th-place finish. That same year, Mexico earned an individual spot at the Tokyo Olympics. The spot was earned by a two-time OlympianBernadette Pujals, who later switched allegiance toSpain, which allowed Del Valle to become the front-runner for selection.[2]
To prepare for the Olympics, Del Valle and her home-bredLusitano Beduino LAM competed at the Global Dressage Festival inWellington, Florida in early 2020. She then relocated to Germany, for what were supposed to be the final preparations. The postponement of the Olympics, amidst theCOVID-19 pandemic, forced Del Valle to stay in Europe for an extra year. She started working at Hof Kasselmann inHagen and received an upkeep in return. In the spring of 2021, Del Valle relocated to Portugal, for a further Olympic preparation period under the expertise of her coach, Portuguese OlympianMiguel Duarte.[2]
