Ann Romney Talks Horses On ‘GMA’ [Video]

Ann Romney’s Olympic horse didn’t win any medals this year at the 2012 London Games. But for the possible first lady horses mean much more than Olympic glory.

On Good Morning America, Romney said that her horses give her “balance,” “love,” and “joy.”

Romney said:

“It’s so extraordinary, what horses do for us. For me, it’s balance, it’s love, it’s joy. What they’re doing for so many other people right now — we have wounded vets coming home, and they’re turning to horses for therapy. We have kids with autism, Asperger’s, different things, they get on the back of a horse, and all of a sudden, their life changes. They become strong, they become confident.”

Romney, who was serving as guest host on GMA, said that horses also helped her when she was dealing with multiple sclerosis. Ann said that her horses were therapeutic and helped her overcome the fear of living her life in a wheelchair.

Ann said:

“I was very, very weak and very much worried about my life, thinking I was going to be in a wheelchair, as well. I turned to horses. My life has been dramatically different. They gave me the energy, the passion, to get out of bed when I was so sick that I didn’t think I ever wanted to get out of bed.”

Ann also demonstrated her cooking talents on the show. Romney’s M&M cookies recently lost to Michelle Obama’s chocolate chip cookies in a first lady bake off, but Romney impressed the GMA crew with her Welsh skillet cakes.

    A woman who has never worked a day in her life can’t make her husband seem “in touch” with the American people. Is there any doubt a Romney administration would favor the rich and increase the income gap in our country? Mitt is a pariah in Mormon Clothing and will stop at nothing to expand an empire of greed for the rich in this country by expanding tax cuts for the 1% of the wealthiest Americans. He’s out to gut the Middle Class for every red cent he can get. Will his sacred Mormon underwear grant him the protection and money to buy this election? See for yourself as Mitt dons his tighty-whities sent down from the Good Lord Himself at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/05/mitt-romneys-magic-mormon-underwear.html.

    I wouldn't wish MS on anyone and pray that she stays healthy, however does she even realize that, without Obamacare, many with MS wouldn't get ins because of pre-existing condition, that many can't even afford basic medications, much less a therapy horse and that her husbands policies look on those people as taking advantage of the rest of us because they can no longer work and afford medical insurance? I wish that ALL people with diagnoses that rob them of independence and dignity had 1/10 of the resources that she has.

    Stephena, I agree with you 100%. I love horses but can no longer afford my own much less many of the medicines and treatments that I need. The people who attack Obama have to be nutcases.

    Gee Ann–You are breaking my heart! I have been disabled and confined to a wheel chair for 11 years–and I didn't get a dancing horse! Poor you!

    Just like everything in life all things are not available to all people. Because you do not have certain resources doe not mean they should not be available to others. Since where is it written that all children should only be born into rich families or that we should all have red hair or be six feet tall? That is not real life. Apparently you three women feel than there should be no differences in people. Envy seems to be a trait of liberals. Take from those who are more fortunate than you are because no one should have something that others cannot have because that is unfare. Where is it written that life is fair? Grow up and face reality. It is not people who attack Obama who are nutcases, it is the people who think he cares about them who are the nutcases. He has made it very clear that he hates America but Obama supporters refuse to believe his own words. Appreciate the good things you have in life and stop trying to take from others.

    As the mother of a child dx'd with CP at the age 6 months, I know what Obamacare means to me. Joey's last wheelchair (number 4 in 19 years) was $20,000.00. I don't know how we would do this without insurance. Amazing we don't have more people coming forward regarding this aspect of this.

    Gee maybe poor old you should check out the MANY places that, at NO CHARGE, have therapy riding programs for all ages, all abilities and a few may be a 'dancing horse.' LOL…..!!!

    If either Ann or Mitt Romney is on GMA, I refuse to watch. All the Romneys are wealthy, snobs who couldn't care less about middle or low pay America!
