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

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.”
