Julia Davis Rider Profile

The equestrian world needs to make way for Julia Davis! Haven’t heard of her? You will soon! The young rider caught our attention at the Devon Horse Show this last May during the NAL Pony Jumpers class where she displayed tremendous determination to get back in the saddle after a refusal that, sort of, dismounted her. She almost had it, too! But her pony, Rita, thought they had both done enough on course. Nothing short of inspirational, she is a rider with talent to boot and a deeply rooted passion for the sport.
