Important win for Richard Davison

This is extremely prestigious. He was up against the very top dressage horses of age group. He's been quietly and carefully produced, aimed strictly at the next Olympics.

Artemis is a major talent, very classical in his movement and training, and extremely correct. Despite the fact that he has a female name (!), I think this horse is the business. Watch out for him for 2012.

Will keep fingers and toes crossed for the continued well-being of such a promising sounding horse.

Well done Richard.

That photo says it all though, just look at the sit he has in the piaffe, round through his back with the nose just infront of the vertical, one ear pricked the other listening to his ride. although only a moment in time that really is IMHO a perfect picture.

Although heard a few results he isn't a horse who I had really heard of before. Would be really interested to see him in the flesh so to speak, although I'm not going to Olympia unfortunately!

S_C, you haven't heard of him because his name was changed when bought for Richard D -- he was called Foto Tyme before and competed by Canadian international Evi Strasser up to PSG / Inter I (I believe)
