MY FAVORITES Favorite book: This might be cliché, but when I was younger and was reading To Kill a Mockingbird, it was the one book that when I finished, I was so sad that it was over. I loved it so much. I actually read it again last summer.
Another riding discipline you’d like to try: I remember being in Tryon at the World Equestrian Games a couple of years ago and walking around seeing the other disciplines. It’s so impressive, like vaulting. I wouldn’t want to try that because I don’t think I’d be good at it at all. Maybe some kind of Western riding like roping or barrel racing. We used to do that all the time on our farm growing up.
Favorite cuisine: Italian.
JESSICA SPRINGSTEEN
Favorite restaurant: There’s a place right by our house in Belgium, called Clash. We’re always so excited to go there when we get back from the show. It’s so cozy, and the food is so good, and you get to know everyone there. It’s so nice.
Best place to escape: My farm in New Jersey. It’s so peaceful there. Whenever I have time, even if it’s just four or five days, I try to make it home and see my family. It’s so relaxing on the farm. I have all my retired horses there and go trail riding in the woods and fields. It’s really nice,
HOTEL EPI 1959
Best way to relax: I love to run. It’s always been a goal of mine to be able to to run, and not feel like I would pass out. I’ve really built up my stamina and now I love it. I find it so relaxing to put on some good music and really zone out. It’s also a great way to explore the city you’re in.
Favorite hotel: Hotel EPI 1959 in Saint Tropez. It’s right by the beach and the horse show in St. Tropez. They had opened it the summer after I won the St. Tropez Grand Prix. We all got to go there and celebrate. It’s so beautiful, and it’s so relaxing.
