“I was a reluctant employee,” says Richard.After a couple of years, his father decided to give him a petrol station to run.“After six months, I had a system worked out which meant it didn’t take up much time. I would go hunting with the Meynell three daysa week after sorting out the morning shift and turn up splattered in mud at the end of the day for the next change of shift. In the end,the staff called in Father and he eventually agreed to let me do horses,” he says.Richard went to event rider Sandra Pearson-Adams and she sent him on a dressage course run by Barbara Slane-Fleming, where hewas “mesmerised” by dressage.Through Lady Joicey and Arthur Kottas of the Spanish Riding School in Vienna he was exposed to the best of international andclassical dressage.
Richard Davison had a lucky break when Sir Anthony and Lady Bamford decided to back him and bought him Master JCB, with whom he wonhis first European team medal.
Richard Davison’s other equestrian involvements include being a regular columnist for Horse & Hound magazine, a former televisioncommentator for Sky and Eurosport, the international rider representative for the FEI dressage committee, author of Dressage PriorityPoints, a member of the International Dressage Trainers Club since 1986, vice-president of the International Dressage Rider Cluband founder member of the British Dressage International Trainers Club, a former member of the British Dressage committee and aformer chairman of the BHS training and examinations committee.
Richard Davison won a team silver medal at the European Championships in 1993 with Master JCB and was amember of the bronze medal-winning team a decade later on home turf riding Ballaseyr Royale at the2003 Hickstead European Champsionships.“Hickstead was the most emotional competition I have taken part in. I have never experienced suchunbelievable concentration, if that is the right word, from the crowd. I was the last member of the team togo, so it all hinged on me. The audience must have been emotionally exhausted by the time I finished,” hesays.
Richard Davison also became the British Dressage National Champion in 2003 with Ballaseyr Royale.“I was only there because my family saw somewhere that a Mercedes-Benz was on offer. I had to get alate entry – the family has never taken such an interest in dressage. They were on the phone every ½hrduring the competition to find out how I was doing,” he says.
As a member of the British dressage team, Richard has competed in three Olympics, two World Equestrian Gamesand four European Championships. He was also a World Cup finalist four times.Richard was six times Britain’s number one in the international dressage rider rankings in 1996, 1998,1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, is a Fellow of the British Horse Society (BHS), was awarded the FEI (FédérationEquestre Internationale) Gold Badge of Honour in 2003 and the British Equestrian Federation (BEF)Medal of Honour for recognition of activities connected with international endeavour.
