Jessica Rae Springsteen (born December 30, 1991) is an American show jumping champion rider who has represented the United States in international competition.
Jessica is the second child and only daughter of Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa. She has one older brother, Evan James Springsteen (born July 25, 1990) and one younger brother, Samuel Ryan Springsteen (born January 5, 1994). When Jessica and her brothers reached school-going age in the early 1990s, Springsteen and Scialfa moved from Los Angeles to New Jersey specifically to raise a family in a non-paparazzi environment. When Jessica was a child, the Springsteen family owned and lived on a horse farm in Colts Neck Township, New Jersey. They also owned homes in Wellington, Florida, an equestrian community near West Palm Beach, Florida, Los Angeles and Rumson, New Jersey.
She attended the Ranney School in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. She was awarded an undergraduate degree from Duke University on May 11, 2014. After embarking on her career as a show jumping rider, she also did some modeling and was named the equestrian ambassador for Gucci.
Springsteen has been riding since she was four years old, with horses kept on the Springsteen family’s 300-acre Stone Hill Farm in Colts Neck, NJ. Jessica got her first pony when she was six years old. As a youth equitation rider, she first won classes in the pony division, including the Washington International Pony Equitation Classic Final, and as a teen won the 2008 ASPCA Maclay National Championship in a ride-off where her particularly bold riding stood out. She also won the 2009 George H. Morris Excellence in Equitation Championship.
