She is not riding this horse jberryhill Jul 2012 #12

She does ride though, daily. Supporting the sport of dressage and an Olympic pair is giving back riderinthestorm Jul 2012 #13

Giving back? jberryhill Jul 2012 #16

That's a small fraction of what it costs to own, train and compete an international level horse. riderinthestorm Jul 2012 #19

It would seem, though, that "we the people" are unwittingly and unwillingly sponsoring these horses- MADem Jul 2012 #21

agreed on all points except two magical thyme Jul 2012 #26

Her horse BUSINESS took the deductions that gave them the refund. riderinthestorm Jul 2012 #28

I am focusing on Ann and Mitt's gaming of the tax code--no "seem to" about it. MADem Jul 2012 #31

Who's the rider? aint_no_life_nowhere Jul 2012 #17

thank you. stlsaxman Jul 2012 #18

Jan Ebeling. There have been many slams about "Ann's horse" and this sport. riderinthestorm Jul 2012 #20

Me neither. And ain't it special to take bows as the sponsor when taxpayers are paying a MADem Jul 2012 #25

No one is slamming the horse--we're slamming an obscenely rich woman for nickle-and-diming the MADem Jul 2012 #24
