She also won World team Gold (1982), three European team golds (1977, 1985, 1987) and an Olympic silver medal in the team event in 1984. Between 1973 and 1984, she won a record six times at the Badminton Horse Trials (on six different horses). She also won the Burghley Horse Trials in 1977 and 1981.
Lucinda Jane Prior-Palmer was born in Andover, Hampshire, England to Major-General George Erroll Prior-Palmer (died 1977) and Lady Doreen Hersey Winifred Hope, a daughter of the second Marquess of Linlithgow, who served as Viceroy of India from 1936 to 1943. Her other grandfather was Prior Spunner Prior-Palmer of Dublin. She has a brother, Simon Erroll Prior-Palmer (born 1951) and a half-sister, Karol Ann Maxwell (born 1938), who died in 2014. She attended the independent St Mary's School in Wantage.
Green married Australian equestrian David Green in 1981 in Salisbury and they have a son Freddie (born May 1985) and daughter Lissa (born February 1989), who is an international event rider. The couple divorced in 1992. Her niece is Lara Prior-Palmer, the first British person and first woman to win the Mongol Derby.
Green began riding at the age of four and is most well known for winning the Badminton Horse Trials a record six times, on six different horses: Be Fair (1973), Wideawake (1976), George (1977), Killaire (1979), Regal Realm (1983) and Beagle Bay (1984). In addition, she was placed second on Village Gossip (1978). She has also won the Tony Collins Trophy, awarded to the British rider with the greatest number of points in eventing in a season, a record seven times.
