She was born to ride! Bruce Springsteen watches his daughter compete in Central Park equestrian competition....and lose to Bloomberg's daughter
Bruce Springsteen may come from humble New Jersey origins, but now he's watching his daughter ride in equestrian competitions against the likes of Georgina Bloomberg.
The Boss and wife Patricia Scialfa came out to support their 22-year-old daughter Jessica on Thursday night, as she competed in the Central Park Horse Show.
It was the first time an equestrian competition has been held in New York City in more than a decade.

Ultimately, former mayor Mike Bloomberg's daughter Georgina (and her horse Juvina) won the $200,000 grand prix.
More competitions will be held at the horse show throughout the weekend, ending Sunday afternoon.
Jessica Springsteen, who also attends Duke University, made her show jumping debut with Team USA last month and so far she's been a smashing success.

Last week, she took home the $200,000 prize money at the American Gold Cup held in North Salem, NY. Her parents were there yet again, along with family friend and NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams.
'It’s absolutely incredible,' Ms Springsteen told the Star-Ledger at the September 14 competition. 'To win such a prestigious class is really amazing. My horse jumped super so I’m so thrilled.'
Springsteen met his wife in the early 1980s, at Asbury Park bar the Stone Pony. But it wasn't until a decade later, after Springsteen's first marriage failed, that the two got together.
Their first son Evan was born in 1990, Jessica a year later, and third son Samuel was born in 1994.
The Springsteens own a horse farm in Colts Neck, NJ and another home in a wealthy horse community near West Palm Beach, Florida.
