JESSICA SPRINGSTEEN The daughter of famed rocker Bruce Springsteen, Jessica Springsteen continues to rock the competition Grand Prix arenas around the world. Springsteen had a standout year in 2017 as she looks to qualify for one of the four coveted spots to represent the United States at the World Equestrian Games. Last February, at the Winter Equestrian Festival, she won a CSI5* riding Tiger Lily, and another riding Davendy S. In March, she won the Ocala Live Oak Plantation CSI3* piloting Davendy S, and another Wellington CSI5* event. Traveling to Europe last summer, Springsteen won the Windsor CSI5* Falcon Stakes with Davendy S, as well as the Monte Carlo CSI5*. In London, she won the CSI2* Grand Prix aboard Tiger Lily, and then the Valkenswaard CSI5* with Davendy S. Most recently, in November, she won a CSI4* in Wellington riding RMF Swinny du Parc. In 2008, she won the ASPCA Maclay National Championship, and the following year topped the George H. Morris Excellence in Equitation Championship. She will kick off this year of top competition in the ring at WEF, where she’s sure to stand out.
