[5] When she and her brothers reached school age in the early 1990s, their parents left Los Angeles with them specifically to raise a family in a non-paparazzi environment.
[12] 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.
In September 2012, Peter Charles, who had represented Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the Equestrian events, sold his team gold medal-winning horse, Vindicat W, to Springsteen.
[9] In 2016, she won her first five-star Grand Prix jumping competition with her horse Cynar VA,[18] but did not make the short list for the U.S. Equestrian team for the 2016 Summer Olympics.
[20] In 2021, Springsteen was selected in the US team to compete in equestrian at the 2020 Summer Olympics, which had been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
