1. I'm of two minds on this. I am blue collar and ride dressage

with what little money I have left over after paying for life's expenses.

3. Well, then

consider this...Drassage is one of Mitt's charities. He gives money to his wifes Drassage Society and counts it as a charity and writes it off on his taxes. You don't have to dislike Drassage, just how Romney's use it for their bottem line.

5. You know, when I was competing and poor (just like now),

I wondered if because I spent my life with horses, if I could form a tax-deductible charity called "Church by the Side of the Road Apple". Little did I realize, someone like Mittens has already figured out how to do it. What an a-hole. Thanks for the nugget of information! (Just a little typo...it's dressage with an "e" for future correspondence)

6. I would rather have seen him

contribute to horse riding therapy for MS patients, like his wife does for therapy. My daughter is a therapist that did this on week-ends with kids who had MS and the funding was cut. She was a volunteer like all the other therapists.

7. I love horses. They are so therapeutic (and good friends!).

Sorry to hear your daughter's job was cut. What a worthy, meaningful devotion!
