and that's also why I think Ann's dressage riding is "off limits."

If they rode western it would be ok, since Reagan rode. Of course, the fact that western reining is based on dressage training is lost on the vast majority....

And aside from the fact that it makes them appear, yet again, "out of touch" with average Americans, there is the association with fraud and animal abuse.
