World-class champion show jumper Jessica Springsteen has trained for the opportunity to compete in the Olympics most of her life. In 2021, it became a reality as she joined her U.S. Equestrian Team’s show-jumping teammates of seasoned Olympians, McLain Ward, Laura Kraut, and Kent Farrington, in Tokyo for the postponed 2020 Olympics and won the Team Jumping Silver Medal! A new base of fans around the world were captivated watching them compete for gold. Her selection to the team generated greater exposure and excitement about the exhilarating sport of show jumping.
The daughter and middle child of Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa, Jessica grew up surrounded by animals at her family’s Colts Neck, New Jersey, farm, and began riding when she was 5 years old.
