Jessica is participating in the events to represent the U.S. Fellow show jumpers. Kent Farington, who is ranked 11th, and also Laura Kraut, who holds the 18th position in the world, joined her. In the event that took place on Saturday, Jessica outdid her fellow team members from the American delegation and the other competing champions from different countries. What was even more amazing about her performance was that she showed no sign of stress.

Jessica Springsteen’s performance was continuously praised by the commentators as they said she was “perfectly positioned on the horse.” They even went on to appreciate the approach that Jessica Springsteen took as the horse waited and jumped in the most calculative manner. All this led to her finishing 0.65 seconds within the time limit to secure second place and make a mark for herself. The video of her performance was shared on the official Longines Global Champions Tour Instagram account. Since then, fans have been pouring their love for her, with comments such as “Amazing” and “heroic.”
