Bruce Davidson

Discipline: Eventing
Hometown: Unionville, PA
Birth Date: September 30, 1959

The most famous rider in American eventing, Bruce Davidson has been an international threat since the early 1970s. He has twice won the World Three Day Event Championships (1974 and 1978) and has been the U.S. Combined Training Association's (USCTA) Rider of the Year a record 14 times.

As a member of a record five Olympic teams, he has captured two team gold medals (at Montreal in 1976 and Los Angeles in 1984), and two team silver medals (at Munich in 1972 and Atlanta in 1996).

1995 was a banner year for Davidson. He won the individual gold medal and a team silver in the Pan American Games, and also became the first American ever to win the grueling Badminton (Great Britain) CCI****. Two years later, Davidson rode to victory in the 1997 Punchestown (Ireland) CCI***.

The past several years have seen Davidson placing well both domestically and abroad with top-twenty finishes at Badminton, Blenheim, Burghley, Checkmate, Rolex, Fair Hill, and many other events. Although Davidson is now in his 50s, he shows no signs of slowing down and is bringing along several promising horses.
