Harriet Williamson has secured another British para dressage title, winning at the Equissage Pulse Para Summer Championships at Hartpury in Gloucestershire.
Now based in the Cotswolds, Williamson is a former King William’s College and UCM student, and previously trained with Olympic rider Gareth Hughes.
Riding King D II, she topped the bronze division’s grade five introductory test with 72.628%.
The result marks her second national success with the horse, following their 2024 title.
Judges praised the pair for their bold, fluent work and strong harmony in the arena, with two awarding scores above 76%.
Speaking to Manx.News, Harriet said: “King is genuinely one in a million. He knows his job inside out and has given me an enormous amount of confidence. We have developed such a strong partnership over the last few years and I think that trust really shows when we go into the arena together.”
Alongside her para dressage campaign, Williamson is now planning to progress through the able-bodied levels with King, with the pair aiming to compete up to Advanced Medium.
She added: “Winning another national title is a huge milestone, but I still feel we’re only scratching the surface of what we can achieve. My ambition is to represent Great Britain internationally and to continue developing myself as a rider, both in the UK and overseas.”
