Cheltenham Ladies College pupil is youngest ever Australian international rider
She is currently the only junior rider Australia has on the international tour.
The 13-year-old' recent results include a third place in the international junior test at Addington Manor at the end of January.
Jessica has been riding since she was three and comes from a family with a reputation for success in dressage in Australia.
Thekla Blackmore, Jessica's mother, competed at national level for a number of years.
The family moved from Australia to the UK in 2008 and Jessica now trains at the Talland School of Equitation near Cirencester with Pammy Hutton, Justine Sole and Richard Preston.
Jessica manages to successfully combine her life at college with her rigorous dressage training schedule, which includes sessions at weekends and every afternoon after school.
Don Romeo, her current international horse, and Jessica have only competed together at Advanced Medium and Junior FEI level twice and have won or been placed in both competitions.
Her second horse, Ventoux, is competing at Elementary level.
Jessica said: "College and my friends are very supportive of me and understand that I don't have much spare time outside of school.
"I have always dreamt of riding internationally and it makes me very proud to know that I have now opened the door for other Australian juniors to do the same as me in the future."
