Lucy Davis was born on October 22, 1992, in Los Angeles, California. She began riding lessons at age five, supported by a family with an equestrian background, including her jockey’s agent grandfather, Robert Barron Frieze. Her early training with Chacha Levinson at the Sullivan Canyon Preservation Association was followed by instruction under Archie Cox at Middle Ranch. Under Cox, Davis excelled in hunters and equitation, securing multiple national championships including World Champion Hunter Rider in 2007. Initially competing in pony and junior hunter divisions, she transitioned to the jumper ring at fourteen, advancing through levels with her junior jumper, Mister Mind. Davis attended Harvard-Westlake School and later graduated from Stanford University in 2015 with a degree in architecture. She also played soccer, but left the sport at age sixteen to focus on equestrian competition.
Davis made her international competition debut at the North American Junior and Young Rider Championships (NAJYRC). In 2009, she earned an Individual Silver Medal with True Love, and in 2010, she was part of the Zone 10 Gold Medal winning team. Her career progressed to the upper echelons of show jumping, leading to her selection for the 2016 U.S. Olympic Show Jumping Team in Rio de Janeiro. Competing with her horse, Barron, with whom she had participated in Nations Cups, World Cup Finals, and the 2014 World Equestrian Games, Davis secured a silver medal in the team competition and qualified for the individual final. She remains the youngest female Olympic medalist in Equestrian Show Jumping for Team USA. Prior to this, she earned a bronze medal in team jumping at the 2014 FEI World Equestrian Games.
In recent years, Davis-Kennedy has continued to achieve notable results. In 2024, she contributed to securing first place for the U.S. Jumping Team in the FEI Jumping Nations Cup Ireland in Dublin with Ben 431. The pair also achieved consistent top-ten finishes in Grand Prix events, including a third place at the CSI4* Grand Prix in Wellington, Florida. Looking ahead to 2025, Davis-Kennedy and Ben 431 were named to the U.S. Jumping Team for the first leg of the Longines League of Nations in Abu Dhabi, where they placed fourth in the Grand Prix and delivered a strong team performance. Davis co-developed PonyApp, an equestrian platform, and is the founder of Prixview, a sports data provider for show jumping.
