Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on January 31, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Laura! May your day be filled with more grace and elegance than a perfect dressage routine—though let's face it, you've already set the bar pretty high. From trotting gracefully into Olympic gold for Great Britain to making horses everywhere jealous of your impeccable style, you truly make riding look easier than blowing out birthday candles.

Here's hoping this year brings even greater victories (if that's possible!) and fewer moments spent convincing people that "dressage" isn't just fancy horse dancing—but if anyone could pull off disco moves on horseback flawlessly, it's definitely you. Cheers to another fabulous ride around the sun!
