Bruce Springsteen pulls out wallet for potential olympiad horse for daughter Jessica Springsteen

Ireland's top horse Lisona (v. Quality Obos 004) comes under the saddle of the American jumping rider Jessica Springsteen, father Bruce reportedly paid a sum of over million for the mare.

The twelve-year-old mare Lisona was for the past three years, ridden by Darragh Kerins. This successful combination was part of the Irish team during the victories in the Nations Cup in Hickstead and Dublin last year. The mare is for the 22-year-old Springsteen purchased with a view to the international sport. Possibly the mare even qualify to participate in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

It is not the first successful horse to the stables of the family Springsteen moves. Last summer was Olympic gold medalist Murka's Vindicat moved to be competed by the daughter of the American rock star. Two weeks ago, the combination is an important section during the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington.
