Lucy Davis Takes on the Europeans Singlehandedly and Wins!
December 21, 2009 – Lucy Davis, the individual silver medalist at the 2009 North American Junior Young Rider Championships, took on the best Europe had to offer and showed them that she was better. The top three individual finalists from the United States hosted NAJYRC received invitations to compete at the European Younger Cup at CSI Frankfurt (Dec. 17-20) in Germany.
Although Davis was the only U.S. rider to accept the invitation, clearly she was the best representative. Aboard True Love she competed against the best 26 riders under 25 from throughout Europe. In the first round Davis posted a clear round and finished eighth. Despite a rail in the next round, Davis qualified for the Final, which consisted of 16 riders. She assured herself of victory when she jumped the only clear round of the day.
Davis resides in California, trains with Meadowgrove Farm, and showed as a junior (17 and under) this past year.
