My name is Jessica Pyfer, I am 22 years old and I am about to start my career as a Professional Thoroughbred Jockey.
I have ridden in equestrian my entire life. Previously I rode in Hunter/Jumpers and traveled throughout the country
as well as internationally. My family is full of equestrians so I was basically bred to be an equestrian as well.
My mother rode and trained Hunter/Jumpers as well as riding a few races and galloping on the racetrack for over 30 years.
My biological father was a jockey as well, and my step-father is Philip D'Amato, a top thoroughbred trainer who has horses
stabled across the country. When I turned 16 and was able to get a license on the racetrack, I started working for my fathers stable,
first ponying the racehorses, then galloping and working horses before school. When I graduated high school I decided to sell
my jumper and gallop on the racetrack early in the mornings and go to college after. I graduated from Azusa Pacific University
with a Bachelors degree in Political Science and Pre-law this past spring. When thinking about what I wanted to do next,
there was nothing but the thought of riding races in my mind. It is my passion and my love for the horses is greater than anything.
I am very excited for what is to come and blessed to be able to follow my dream as a jockey.
