Equestrian medallist Lucy Davis on recovering from burnout and giving back to the sport


Listen Later

Lucy Davis isn’t your average Olympic silver medallist.

A Stanford graduate with a major in architecture, she’s also a top-level equestrian showjumper.

But even the best athletes suffer burnout, as Davis found out after winning silver in Rio.

“I kind of lost a lot of motivation,” she admits – and it took her two years before she finally found a new calling.

Part of that involves giving back to her sport through her business, PonyApp.

“There is this community of people around the world that love horses and have no outlet for it. So we're trying to galvanise that energy and direct it towards the sport and its exposure.”
