Horses through out history have always represented strength, power, determination of will, and most of all personality. Lauren Galdarisi is a woman with all of these attributes, and then some. In Lauren's personal life she is using her intelligence and personality to embark on new career endeavors, and we wish her the best of luck, yet her classic style and beauty, and poise, and power are magnified ten fold when she's in her element. Jazzie is Lauren's compliment. You can see the relationship through the images and how they move together in the video. One thing I learned on this particular shoot is how personable horses can be, and how they wear their souls around their necks. Jazzie had all the makings of beautiful, most powerful, specimen, and the all the gentleness of her rider.

I heard it said that, "A horse chooses it's rider," probably more accurately said they trust who they want to trust. And this sense of mutual trust and caring for one another is so evident on this shoot. A perfect Valentine's issue. Sure, it's not love in the traditional human to human since, but the amount of fear that can be had between Jazzie and Lauren, a horse twelve times her weight, and the trust they have between each other, and everything in between is a wonderful demonstration of love. When you see Lauren & Jazzie jumping over the rails you know it takes time to master that kind of precision. Lauren's love for riding can be clearly seen by the smile on her face, however the Equestrian Love they share can be seen by every stride of her mount.
