As the final touches are made to the impressive arena of the former Munich Olympics, 1400 kms away long-time British dressage star Richard Davison is making his final preparations too. He is refining the training of his equine partner, the gorgeous looking Hiscox Artemis, owned by the Countess of Derby and John Dodd. The 12-year-old gelding has carved out a reputation on the European show circuit and has amassed his own band of loyal fans and followers.

The 5-year old Westfalian mare Athena Nike and 6-year old Dutch warmblood stallion Bon Bravour were the grand winners at the fourth Belgian selection trial at 2012 CDN Schilde for the 2012 World Young Horse Championships in Verden. The national show in Schilde attracted a massive group of young horses. Sixty-six youngsters gathered on Saturday 12 May 2012 at Stable Brabo in Schilde to earn valuable show experience and Verden qualification scores.
