Fido Dido is a bay gelding, born June 11, 2006, by Florencio I out of Nelinora (by Climax). He is the eldest of the three full brothers the Van Esch family bred out of Nelinora, alongside Fiji and Fifty Fifty.

As a four-year-old he placed third in the Horsefood Dressage Talent series for young horses. Petra van Esch then took over the ride and brought him all the way to Grand Prix. They were NRPS champions at Z2 (roughly Third Level) in 2012 and at ZZ-Licht (Fourth Level) in 2013. In 2014 and 2015 they competed internationally at Small Tour, placing eighth at the Dutch Small Tour Championships in 2015. In February 2017, Fido Dido made his international Grand Prix debut at the VR Classics in Neumünster, Germany.

Fido Dido has been sold and is not for sale. In August 2017 he moved to Greek rider Theodora Livanos, with whom he competed in the junior and young rider divisions.
