Jessica Springsteen at age 7
Early Years on the Farm
Raised alongside brothers Evan and Samuel on the family’s 300‑acre Stone Hill Farm in Colts Neck, NJ, Jessica climbed into the saddle at age 4 and got her first pony at 6. With paparazzi safely at bay, she honed her craft in relative privacy—attending Rumson Country Day School and Ranney School before earning her degree from Duke University in 2014.
Rising Through the Equitation Ranks
2008: ASPCA Maclay National Champion—her bold style turned heads in a dramatic ride‑off
2009: George H. Morris Excellence in Equitation Champion
“You see a culmination of 13 years of riding come down to 1 minute and 30 seconds… riders get one shot.”
—Bruce Springsteen on Jessica’s Maclay victory
Making Her Mark as a Grand Prix Rider

2012: Alternate for the U.S. Olympic team; acquired former Olympic‑gold medal horse Vindicat W
2014: Winner of the American Gold Cup
2016: First five‑star Grand Prix victory with Cynar VA
2017: Falcon Stakes CSI 5* champion at Royal Windsor on Davendy S
Olympic Silver in Tokyo
In 2021, Jessica represented Team USA at the Tokyo Games (officially the 2020 Olympics). Though she narrowly missed the individual final by one spot, she helped secure silver in the Team Jumping competition on August 7, 2021—adding an Olympic medal to a glittering résumé.
Beyond the Arena
When she’s not competing, Jessica models for Gucci’s equestrian line and lends her voice to equestrian causes as their brand ambassador. Off‑duty, she’s exploring fashion, fitness, and life beyond the jump.
