Richard Davison, 2003 British Dressage Champion
with Ballaseyr Royale
October 2, 2003
 After
four days of top competition British Dressage has 19
new national title holders and a new National Champion.
Richard Davison was crowned Mercedes-Benz National Champion
for the first time with Mr and Mrs Meyers 13 year old
mare Ballaseyr Royale.
Richard has represented Great Britain at Olympic Games,
World Equestrian Games and European Championships, and
was a member of the European bronze medal winning team
at Hickstead in August. On Saturday Richard and Ballaseyr
Royale won the Grange Hotels Grand Prix with a score
of 71.08% and on Sunday the pair confirmed their position
at the top with a record score of 77.21% in the Mercedes-Benz
Grand Prix Freestyle.
Finishing his season in style Richard added silver
to his collection in the form of a brand new silver
Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class Roadster – his to drive
for a year.
However Richard was not the only rider to make it into
the record books. Multi gold medal winning Paralympic
rider Lee Pearson became the first disabled rider to
win an able bodied Championship, winning the Equimax
Elementary Restricted Championship with his striking
dun gelding Blue Circle Boy on a score of 69.51%.
Barely three weeks after being part of the paralympic
team who successfully defended their World Championship
title, Lee went on to win the grade 1 section of the
Strongid-P Disabled Dressage Rider Championship as well.
