The CHI de Genève competition took place from December 6–10 and implied an important turning point in Jessica’s career as a horsewoman. Jessica and her horse, Don Juan van de Donkhoeve, made an amazing show of skill and accuracy as they raced through the course at breakneck speed caught in action reaching for the fence. She posted a carousel with a black and white first picture showing the duo mid-jump on her Instagram.

The second vibrant picture showed the front angle of the team leaping over while the third one was a post-jump all-smiles capture. The following photo was clicked seconds before their landing concluding with an in-anticipation stage shot of spectators and volunteers. Jessica captioned this event drop, “Best boy in the 🌎 jumping clear in the Rolex GP of @chigeneve 🌟 @rolex @rolex_grand_slam.”

The FEI Driving World Cup’s final day of CHI Geneva lived up to expectations in a fantastic setting. Richard Vogel, 26, riding United Touch S achieved a very notable victory by winning his first major title. The podium finishers were Mark McAuley followed by third ranked Christian Kukuk and Steve Guerdat came in fourth. Despite losing the ranks among top performers, Jessica garnered much appreciation on the internet.
