Press release:
LOS ANGELES (Oct. 30, 2009) — “When I heard that Linda Tellington Jones and Gabrielle Boiselle were planning to visit Magali Delgado and Frédéric Pignon on their farm in France, I knew there was a book party waiting to happen,” says publicist Elizabeth McCall, who did the next best thing to being there. She got the famous four friends to bring out the horses, pop some champagne, and have a backyard party to celebrate the release of Gallop to Freedom from Trafalgar Square Books in a way their friends and fans around the world could virtually enjoy–on YouTube. Little did she know the casual barn-side affair would coincide with news that Gallop to Freedom has soared to the #1 horse book on Amazon.com in all major categories, during its first week of release.
“Emceed” by their dear friend Linda Tellington-Jones (Tellington TTouch creator) who delightfully shares her favorite excerpts between toasts to Magali and Frédéric, the founding stars of Cavalia, a pair of the couple’s famous Lusitano stallions join the party — between bites of grass in the back yard. “It’s the goal of our life, work with pleasure!” laughs Magali in the video, standing next to longtime pal and renowned equine photographer Gabrielle Boiselle. “I feel very honored that I’m allowed to make pictures of Frédéric and Magali and their horses. Their relationship is so unique and my biggest goal is to capture this in pictures,” says Gabrielle, whose work is featured in Gallop to Freedom. Don’t miss Gabrielle’s new photos of them at the end of the YouTube video credits–there’s a shot she took of the former Cavalia stars together on horseback that will take your breath away.
Available now from Trafalgar Square Books, Gallop to Freedom presents a touching, mind-opening perspective on horses and life as Frédéric and Magali share the events, experiences, and horses that shaped their training philosophy and the principles they embrace. Visually captured in 187 stunning photos, Gallop to Freedom is a tribute to the power of writing from the heart while communicating the rare and remarkable relationship the couple has with horses (and one another).
Gallop to Freedom is available at major bookstores, Amazon.com and horseandriderbooks.com. Fans can view the press kit at: http://horseandriderbooks.com/pdf/GTF-Media-Consumer.pdf

I just received my book yesterday! Their horses are wonderful, the relationship between Magali & Frederic is magical — fairytale like in every way. …
Chalk up another victory for horses! The magic they create in people’s lives is palpable, even through the printed page. Of course, for the purpose of the book, it would all seem wonderful, but from all evidence, it truly is a special life and relationship. And no one can deny those horses are almost otherworldly. I’m still pouting that I didn’t get to be there. (pout)
