Americans with excessive amounts of money to spend on their child.

It's obscene but I maintain that horses keep rich kids grounded. You have to work your butt off in this sport and it is a very humbling experience.

Kids who ride are the nicest, most hard-working, focused, disciplined lot.

There are exceptions, of course, but for the most part that has been my experience. They don't shop or do drugs. They spend all their time at the barn working. And invariably they are excellent academic students as well.

I know it seems like they are a spoiled lot to have that kind of money (but better on sports than on clothes, eh???), but they really are a great group (the parents, however...)

Here is Bruce Springsteen's daughter, Jessica, winning the Maclay. She worked her butt off for this win!!
