The 31-year-old daughter of one of America’s most renowned stars has trod her way well into her show jumping career. Ever since she had her first ride at age 5, the?equestrian?has only walked forward, possibly unaware that she would one day proudly stand as a member of Team USA and hold an Olympic silver on the pedestal.

The journey towards the pinnacle of her career has been a spectacle for the equestrian. However, that wasn’t a stop sign for Jessica Springsteen in any translation. After narrowly missing gold by 1.3 seconds, her presence at the Tokyo Olympics was only fuelled by passion and determination. Dominating the LGCT, London, in August this year, Jessica is back on the field in Paris, keeping up with her grit.
