31. All costs are paid by the USOC. Honestly I think its the wrong message to ding any American Olympian

The expenses for the rMoney's horse have been paid by a private Olympic committee for a long time already and will continue to be paid just like any Olympic athlete.

Supporting the Olympic athletes, even this horse, is the right thing to do. Obama will come across as FAR better if he takes the high road and gets behind the team - all of the team.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, dressage is not a rich man's sport - virtually anyone who rides utilizes dressage from the poor kid on the Pine Ridge reservation to Kali the DU rancher. Its an ancient battle skill like fencing and is preserved by the rich guys at the highest levels to the benefit of all, like fencing or poetry. At its base however, its the improvement of a horse and rider's communication skills and harmony.
