Bruce Springsteen's daughter is also a Boss — of horse jumping. Jessica Springsteen just took home an Olympic silver medal as part of the American equestrian jumping team at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.

Springsteen and her teammates tied the team from Sweden. Following a tiebreaker, which the U.S. lost, the team ended up with silver medal.

The 29-year-old daughter of Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa is ranked 14th in the world in showjumping. She called her parents to celebrate the medal. She said [via CBS], "I FaceTimed them really quick. They were all screaming, I don't think we understood anything."

It's easy to see how Jessica Springsteen picked up her love of equestrian sports, since the family owns a horse farm in New Jersey. Bruce's 2019 film Western Stars showed him performing in the barn and hanging out with his horses.
