Lucy Davis and her USA teammates weren’t horsing around Tuesday in the first round of the team show jumping finals at the Summer Olympics in Brazil.
Riding her 12-year-old Belgian Warmblood gelding Barron, the 23-year-old equestrienne had zero penalties in the second round of individual qualifications at the Deodoro Park in Rio de Janeiro.
Davis, Kent Farrington, Beezie Madden and McLain Ward tied for first place with Brazil, the Netherlands and Germany (all with zero penalties) in Round 1 of the team finals. The second round was Wednesday (result unavailable at press time).
Davis grew up in and around Pacific Palisades and played soccer while attending St. Matthew’s. She won the U.S. Equestrian Team’s 2012 Lionel Guerrand-Hermes Trophy, given to a rider exemplifying sportsmanship.
