There is a mix of boldness and control, a sort of cocktail – or perhaps more of an alchemy – in the way she sees life and her attitude towards show-jumping. At less than 25 years old, she has a solid natural authority balanced with a friendly smile and a lot of simplicity. With a BA in Architecture from Stanford University, this young American was born in Los Angeles in 1992 and has discovered Europe for the first time when she was 17. She came to train and show in European events during Summer and since then she has been splitting her time between California and the Old Continent.

Learning and competing

Lucy Davis embodies the essence of young talent. On the track-record of her amazing career, we can count plenty of podiums, amongst which the Silver Team Medal won together with Kent Farrington, Beezie Madden and McLain Ward at the Olympic Games in Rio in the Summer of 2016. Has she always loved horses? “My mother loved to ride, it was a very important hobby to her and I used to come to the stables with her since I was little. It seems I was very well behaved” she says with a smile. Besides this love of the equestrian universe, sport has always run in her veins: soccer and football have been for a long time very close to her competitive heart, but at some point, she decided to focus on what she preferred: show-jumping. “I love working with animals. It’s stressful because it can be unpredictable, but it is so rewarding in the sense that it’s a sport that allows you to continuously learn and improve”. A way of learning that she prefers amongst all and that she applies every day with half a dozen horses.

A strategic place in the heart of Europe

« Settling here during Spring and Summer time is perfect for me to show in European events », she says. Here? Yes, in Ecaussinnes, south from Brussels, in the province of Hainaut. More precisely, at Les Ecuries d’Ecaussinnes, an extraordinary place ideally situated in the heart of Europe, home to some of the best horses in the world, trained daily by a professional and renowned team. In the context of a long-term partnership, Canadian Olympic Champion, Eric Lamaze, has moved into the facilities with his full team, his trainees and the entire Torrey Pine Stables. An amazing opportunity for the young rider to experience a fruitful collaboration with his team. “It’s fabulous to be welcomed in this place that has all the facilities and infrastructures, both outdoor and indoor, while being able to work your horses in a true team spirit and synergy – That’s fabulous!”.

For beautiful woman riders

With bold design that only adds to its elegance – a true signature of their identity – the watches from the Equestrian collection draw the inspiration for their shapes and materials from symbolic elements of the equestrian universe. A beautiful tribute to the winged hourglass brand and its long-standing passion for equestrian sports.
