“We’ve learnt to choose the right type of horse that has potential for international grand prix with the correct qualities and mindset. We also learnt how to ride and train them to optimise each horse as an individual and how to manage them better too. Lastly, but very importantly we’ve learnt how to attract and keep owners” – Richard Davison on how Britain has risen through the international dressage ranks over the years
