I've dominated past competitions, but I've sweated blood and tears for every medal. I take nothing for granted, and I'm fully focused on doing my best. Lee Pearson bloodcompetitiondominate Change image and share on social
I'm just a genetic freak, but it has never stopped me from doing whatever I want to. Lee Pearson freakgeneticstop Change image and share on social
I'm not really into the fame thing. I've met so many celebrities now, and everybody's just the same. I'm a bit of a family bird. Lee Pearson birdbitecelebrity Change image and share on social
My great grandfather had been the neighbourhood 'horse whisperer,' so I've probably loved horses since I was an embryo. Whenever I watched cowboy films as a small child, I wasn't watching the hunky cowboys - which I'd probably do now - I was watching the horses. Even now, I love sitting in the field just watching the way they move. Lee Pearson childcowboyembryo share on social
I've got a quad bike, which I've raced against neighbours. You could give me a go-kart with a lawnmower engine - I'd still have fun. I like jet skis, speedboats, all the boys' toys. Lee Pearson bikeboyengine Change image and share on social
I had a donkey called Sally that I used to call my BMX bike. As a child, I wasn't a very good horse rider: I thought falling off was normal, and I would just get back on again. I didn't realise you weren't meant to fall off. Lee Pearson backbikebmx share on social
If you don't like something, change it. My parents expected me to stay in my office job as an administrator at the Co-op because I'm disabled, but I said no and changed my whole life. Lee Pearson administratorchangedisable Change image and share on social
I think it's phenomenal and expected that Paralympians will take on able bodied people more and more. In dressage, it happens all the time. But there are very few adaptions, and they are never allowed to give you an advantage. Lee Pearson adaptionadvantageallow share on social
I don't just love riding; I love horses. I was in the field at my yard watching them gallop around and play the other day. That's what keeps me going, and sometimes it has to be something more than just winning. Lee Pearson dayfieldgallop share on social
I'm afraid to say I was Mr. Popular at school. I went out with all the girls in my year - I quite liked girls back then - and even dated ones in the year above. Lee Pearson afraidbackdate Change image and share on social
