Jessica Springsteen has a pretty plush life, no doubt. I can never quite decide which aspect of it I covet the most: Her gold-medal winning horse, Vindicat W? (Who is Instagram-officially back in action this spring after suffering an injury last year -- Edwina Tops has been campaigning the 14-year-old KWPN gelding for Jessica this spring.)Her not-too-shabby polo player boyfriend, Nic Roldan?

Having The Boss as a dad?
Or, last but not least, her head-to-hoof Gucci riding gear? As an equestrian ambassador for the company, I’m pretty sure EVERYTHING this girl owns is red and black with a Gucci crest on it.
