Loads of wealthy horsey types here. They strut around the grocery stores in their filthy riding boots, tracking horse shit all over the place, as if they own the joint. They all have this "I own horses. Be impressed with me" air about them. They don't even have the courtesy to change into street shoes, because lord knows riding breeches don't look as impressive when worn with sneakers. And, they're all Rombots, needless to say. I'm sure they'll all be cheering on Rafalca, and bragging that they know his rider.
