British World Class Performance rider Richard Davison has sold his Grand Prix horse Hiscox Karachi to former Dutch young rider Elisa Swanenberg. The 14-year old Karachi was competed by Davison at international Grand Prix level since 2005
, but Davison was unable to get back on the British team for an international championship with Karachi after he retired his first ride Ballaseyr Royale.
The 174 cm standing Karachi is a Hanoverian gelding by Warkant out of Wange. He was co-owned by Davison's wife Gillian and their long-term sponsor Hiscox plc. The partnership produced its best result at the 2006 Sunshine Tour CDI, where they finished second in the grand prix freestyle with a score of 72%.
Aboard the Hanoverian stallion Akatschi, Elisa Swanenberg competed successfully at international Young Riders level. With Karachi, Elisa hopes to move up the levels and ride the Rabo Future Test, the intermediary class between small tour and big tour for young riders.
