Richard Davison, New British Team Captain
December 11, 2007
 One of Britain’s
most experienced dressage competitors Richard Davison
(pictured) has been appointed the World
Class Performance Programme (WCPP) team captain for
the senior dressage team.
This position has been created to support WCPP Dressage
Manager David Trott, who has had to reduce his commitments
to the programme due to personal circumstances. David
will continue to manage the Dressage Equine Pathway
programme and David and Richard will work together
in the run up to and during the 2008 Olympic Games
in Hong Kong.
Richard’s role will involve managing the team,
including organisation and motivation; he will not
be involved in the selection process.
Richard said: “There are some amazing combinations
at the top of our sport at the moment. They will be
extremely busy over the next few months in the run-up
to the Olympics and I will endeavour to help make their
journey as easy as possible.”
David said: “I am grateful to Richard for taking
on this job and cannot think of anybody better.”
David is currently the senior chief selector and
British Dressage International Teams Director and
will stand
down from these positions in June 2008 when he will
have served the maximum term allowed as a director.
Former international event rider and dressage judge
Nick Burton will take over as senior chief selector
and nominations will be invited for the director’s
post.
