12 Beauty by Pam Maley in Motion Beauty in Motion can mean many things, and is often applied to a perfectly synchronized equestrian pair, but the four equestrian women profiled in this piece define the genre of one whose beauty can often be captured in athletic motion. Though certainly different, they are bound by similarities. All are deeply passionate about their sport and have loved horses from a very young age; and all are startlingly beautiful and naturally elegant, on or off the horse. Meet show jumpers Charlotte Casiraghi and Jessica Springsteen, eventer Zara Tindall, MBE, and dressage champion Laura Graves.
Charlotte Casiraghi - Show Jumping Student of philosophy, publisher, author, mother and equestrian, Charlotte Casiraghi, granddaughter of Princess Grace of Monaco, is ninth in line to the throne. Her beauty is legendary, and her best beauty tip is fresh air, which she gathers in abundance as an equestrian. She started riding at a very young age, and now rides two to three horses almost every day when she’s not working or traveling. Her participation in nearly every phase of the 2009-2015 Global Champions Tours (GCT), with horses Troy and Tintero, firmly established her show jumping credentials. In 2012, she made her debut as the new face of Gucci in an elaborate advertising campaign that celebrated her passion for the sport. Her family has had a long relationship with the house of Gucci, and the company designs an exclusive range for Caroline to wear in competitions. After a very busy show jumping season in 2015, Charlotte has stayed close to home the last two years, competing primarily in events in and around Monaco, and managing her stable of horses under the direction of her trainer, Thierry Rozier. Her grace and elegance draws photographers wherever she travels, whether to fashion shows, art exhibits, or equestrian events. It was she who originated the concept of the GCT ‘Pro-Am Cup,’ which debuted in GCT Monaco, and remains a staple of that event. The relay is made up of teams consisting of a professional and an amateur who ride the course, often in costume, and compete in the name of a charity of their choosing. Charlotte always rides for a cause founded by Princess Grace, A.M.A.D.E.(Association Mondiale des Amis de l’Enfance), which translates as World Association of Children’s Friend. In 2014, Charlotte partnered with internationally ranked show jumper Edwina Tops-Alexander, also a Gucci ambassador, in the class. The pair earned the top spot on the podium, and the first-place prize, with the trophy presented by Charlotte’s mother, Princess Caroline. So popular has this Pro-Am concept of raising money for charity in costume become, that major show jumping events around the world have adopted this crowd-pleasing event.
