My name is, Darin Gabbert. I was born in Colorado and my family goes back to well before Colorado became a state. They came on horseback…

Horses have been a passion of mine since childhood. If you are reading this, they are probably a passion of yours as well; Sisters and Brothers all are we.

Fortune Cookie Media was started as a way for me to use my creative talents and my skills in media to provide my clients with lasting memories of their horses, and the relationship that they have with one of the dearest friends they will ever know.

...And he whispered to the horse, trust no man in whose eyes you do not see yourself reflected as an equal.
— Don Vincenzo Giobbe

Every horse deserves, at least once…

To be loved by a little girl.

Me, with The Smartest Most Beautiful Horse In The World!

Me, with The Smartest Most Beautiful Horse In The World!

 

I named the company after my horse, “Cookie”. She is featured prominently in my work and she is the reason why I focus on the relationship between the horse and the human. When I take pictures of clients and their horses, my goal is to show the client the true nature of the relationship that they have with their equine partner. Quite often, my clients are not aware of the depth of connection that they have with their horse until they see it in the eyes of their horse, captured in the photograph. If you are a horse owner, you should seriously consider getting a photograph that shows this connection, you won’t regret it.
