About this video

Lee is completely awesome. Ranked number one in the world, he has won 21 gold medals at Championships since the Sydney Olympics and has been honoured many times including an MBE. Lee tells Fiona Price in '09 about his philosophy on producing horses, his main challenge and why he's so effective in the saddle. Lee has produced a horse to Grand Prix and won in Prix St Georges at the National Champs', the only para rider to have ever done this. We find out how Lee prepares mentally at big events and why his current star Gentleman is a real 'girl'. Lee tells us about his new horse Zeon, his penchant for fast cars and his recent engagement!

sarahpayne1 5 Sep 2010 What an inspirational man Lee is. Its amazing that he's achieved so many medals but what really impressed me is that he produces the horses himself! Incredible! Wonderful interview.

Fiona Price 18 Sep 2009 We would have liked to see him ride too, but were only invited to the afternoon session unfortunately!
cu.at.x 18 Sep 2009 Great video! I would love to have an opportunity to see Lee ride.
Eds Finest 28 Aug 2009 It's really good you are covering paralympics because there is so little on it. I ride for Special Olympics and like following paralympics athletes. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
