The Romneys bought the horse from someone else. They paid someone else to train the horse, paid someone else to feed the horse, paid someone else to exercise the horse, paid someone else to groom the horse, paid someone else to ride the horse in qualifying competitions. Then they paid someone else to prepare the horse for shipment and paid someone else to care for the horse while in shipment. Then they paid someone else to care for the horse at it's new stables. And they paid someone else to ride the horse at the Olympics.
With someone else doing everything for the horse, they still call it their horse . They don't do anything for it, not even ride it.
I use to show horses. I did everything for them from mucking their stalls, to cleaning their feet, and braiding their mains and tails. We knew each other, the horses and I. At times it was as if the horses and I could read each other's minds, we knew each other so well.
I learned so much from those animals. We worked as a team and we were rewarded with years of love, attention and enjoyment.
The Romneys treat their Olympic horse like an object. What a sad, sad way to be a horse owner.
