Hi, I'm Jessica and I’m chasing a dream that once felt impossible: to compete in the 2028 Olympic Games in Eventing—as a 50-year-old underdog representing Luxembourg, with my biggest cheerleader being my 15-year-old daughter, Gia :)
She is the reason I’m back competing. A few years back she started in the hunter/jumper and now moved over with me 3 years ago into the eventing world, which is the triathlon of equine sports. This Olympic journey isn’t just mine—it’s ours. I want to show her, through action, that anything is possible if you’re willing to work for it.
Here’s the truth: I took a hiatus of over 20 years from competing. For two decades, I wasn’t jumping at all. Life took me in other directions, and I never thought I’d return to this sport—let alone with a goal as bold as the Olympics. But just three years ago, I got back in the show ring and all my previous training came back quickly.
And now, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has come knocking.
1. The horse I need to make this dream a reality is already an Olympian, having competed in the last Games. I tried it in the UK a few weeks back and he is a perfect match!!
2. My trainers—some of the best in the sport—believe in me and are convinced that with this horse, I can achieve this.
3. And in a twist that gave me goosebumps… this horse is of Luxembourgish breed—just like me. With 500k inhabitants, meeting a horse from there is almost impossible, even more the perfect match. Does that not seem like a big sign?
4. And as if that weren’t enough? The 2028 Olympics will take place just 35 minutes from my home. The stars are aligning—the only missing piece is your support.
Total Investment needed:
$300,000 purchase price
$50,000 vet, flight, insurance
We will take care of his board, vet, training fees.
This isn’t just about competing. It’s about proving that it’s never too late. That you’re never too old, too far gone, or too much of an underdog to go after your dream. That with discipline, heart, and belief, anything is possible.
The cost of purchasing this once-in-a-lifetime horse is significant, and that’s why I’m reaching out. Your support—whether big or small—means everything. It’s not just a donation. It’s a vote of belief. In comebacks. In second chances. In going for it—no matter your age.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in this journey.
Let’s ride toward the impossible—together.
❤️
