Richard Davison to unveil new dressage to music freestyle at Olympia
27 October, 2008
TRIPLE Olympian Richard Davison will unveil a new freestyle routine on his London 2012 hope Artemis at the H&H-sponsored Olympia World Cup qualifier (17 December).
The specially recorded piece Artemis In Motion features Elton John classics played by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra (RLPO).
Mr Davison said: “To have the musical genius of Elton John and the RLPO behind our freestyle is mind-blowing.”
The Netherlands’ freestyle expert, Joost Peters, choreographed the programme to match the nine-year-old’s every footfall.
The idea came from Artemis’s joint owner, the Countess of Derby, whose husband is president of the RLPO.
