The competition and festivities continued today at the 2014 Alltech Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) World Equestrian Games, underway in Normandy, France. Dressage riders took to the arena for the Grand Prix Special, while the para-dressage riders began their individual championship tests.

Para-Dressage: Pearson Successfully Defends World Individual Grade Ib Title

Four years of waiting for another individual gold medal to add to his already record-breaking tally came to an end for an emotional Lee Pearson (GBR), who took the Grade Ib individual title today.

Pearson has won 32 Paralympic, world, and European titles in his career so far, but his last individual gold was four years ago at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games 2010 in Kentucky. At London 2012 he took silver and bronze in the individual tests, something of a shock result at the time, and gold in the team competition, and then missed the cut for selection for the British team at last year’s European Championships.

Pearson, riding Zion, scored 77.310, ahead of his London 2012 rival and freestyle gold medalist Pepo Puch of Austria. Riding Fine Feeling S, Puch scored 74.793 to take silver, while the bronze went to Nicole Den Dulk of The Netherlands, riding Wallace to score 71.621
