In this remarkably frank and insightful interview, top British dressage rider Anna Ross Davies tells Fiona Price about her highly unremarkable beginnings, her '8 day' working week, her lucky break and her rise to stardom finishing 10th at the European Champs' on Liebling in 2007, setting a British record. She gives an amusing account of the competition (where she started out as team reserve) and also talks about the influence of Ulla during her training in Germany. Anna tells of personal tragedy when she lost the ride on Liebling, how she picked herself up again and why she likes horses to have personality!

sarthepandabear 29 Mar 2012 What a wonderful interview! Anna is so lovely.

moveon 3 Jul 2010 I really respect Anna, she seems such a down to earth genuine person and someone who I really look up too. She has got where she is through sheer hard working and determination which unfortunatly is not the case with a lot of riders. She is definatley an inspiration to me!

Phelpsie's Boys 4 Dec 2009 Really enjoyed that, just as I've enjoyed and got a lot of inspiration from watching the videos of Anna working her horses. Must have been gutting to lose Liebling and good on her for picking herself up from it, wishing Anna and Pegasus MK every success at Grand Prix!

lottiedot 30 Nov 2009 Wow! That was enjoyable... I am also so pleased for once to see a top rider think about the horse being a horse and not a machine.

LadyJennivieve 15 Sep 2009 I love the piece of advice. What's the point of having a teacher if you don't do what you're told? LOL
