Ann Romney’s Horse Dances In Olympics, Mitt’s Wife Celebrates Rafalca’s Hot Moves
Ann Romney’s horse made a showing in the London Olympics yesterday, dancing his fancy little hooves off at a champagne-festooned dressage event along with several other top-level dressage horses from around the world.
Ann Romney’s horse Rafalca has indeed been mocked in recent weeks as a bit of Romney-family frippery, but per the New York Times coverage of the event, no giggles were to be heard in the very, very serious and fancy event in which very expensive horses prance about to music.
Rafalca, Ann Romney’s horse, cut a rug to crowds as they toasted the dancing steeds — although the very expensive horsie didn’t come in first, second or even third place in the ballerina horse stakes.
Alas, Rafalca only rated 13th in the dressage competition, but her rider Jan Eberling thinks that the pony moved her hooves well and should be commended.
After the horsie dancing, Eberling said:
“[Rafalca] was great… I think that was a good score… I think I had a very good ride, I’m happy with it. I think my second pirouette started out a little bit large. She jumped off the line a bit and, over all, it was great. My piaffes were really nice. And that’s something that’s really improved over the last couple of months.”
Eberling added:
“I think she’s peaking just at the right moment.”
Eberling also noticed that Ann Romney’s horse was a bit jumpy before she took the stage to display her moves, but that it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing — he explains:
“It’s better because she has more expression,” he said, “but it’s harder because it’s harder to control the horse.”
Below is a video of Ann Romney’s horse dancing a month ago — are you impressed with the creature’s dancing ability?

Personally as an American, I'm proud we have such talented riders and horses to represent the United States of America at the Olympics. The reason why this horse Rafalca is in the news, is not because of who owns it.
What makes Rafalca a new story comes from a track record of failure. Record spending and debt with nothing but record unemployment to show for it. The Obama care that was passed with the corn husker kickback, The Louisiana Purchase, the procedural changes in the Senate, so the newly elected Scott Brown would not be able to vote against it.(to keep from passing).
Then there are the presidential executive orders that do a end run around the Constitution and Congress, then there is the Attorney General Eric Holder. I'll leave it at that, if you need the details contact me at http://cloudshorsetackblog.com/.
The whole point of all this is there is a factual record, that some don't want to talk about. Class warfare is much easier to talk about, it's emotional. The top 5% of American taxpayers, pay for 80% of America's yearly expenditures. I think they already pay their share. I'm ashamed to say there's a slice of Americans that don't educate themselves to find out what the truth really is, and unfortunately there's a slice of the media that doesn't report the truth.
God bless America.

It IS because of it's owners. Otherwise no one would really care. Stop your Retardican rhetoric. Yet another vulgar display of wealth beyond our imagination from a Presidential Candidate. At our expense. A $77,000 tax write off which we don't get to take.
