The L.A. Times never expected the back lash of criticism they received from the equestrienne community  after printing a nasty little article about Ann Romney and her horses. I’m Susan Allen stay tuned for Open Range. We have a First Lady who is known for spending extravagant sums for designer clothes, dinners and exotic vacations yet the L.A. honed in on Ann Romney passion for horses by condemning her sport of dressage, (the one she credits helping her cope with multiple sclerosis )as a past time of only the uber wealthy. Thus many hard working middle age dressage enthusiast who can’t take the impact of  say jumping were furious over the piece bombarding the paper’s blogs. Why is the liberal media against a First Lady who rides?   Like Jackie Kennedy Ann’s a  beautiful rider with  recognition in dressage as an adult amateur at the national level and competed professionally in Grand Prix as well. While the L.A. Times was appauled Romney spent $7,800 one  year to insure five of her horses, an amount  that wouldn’t  cover  Michelle Obama’s monthly shoe and bag  budget, it also irked the Times that while at her California house Ann  rides takes the train to ride  in the tony equestrienne community of Del Mar. Guess they  conveniently forgot  President Ronald Reagan frequented that area horseback on his exquisite mounts . Funny how this backfired  The L.A. times wanted us to be outraged  over Ann Romney’s  passion for horses  instead they provided  invaluable PR that bonded  this private possible first  lady  to  horse  lover everywhere.
