Tori Colvin is showing a horse belonging to GM at GLEF. He also coaches her for free.

I’m breaking my “never comment without reading the whole thread” rule, but…SERIOUSLY…When has Tori Colvin EVER qualified as middle/lower-middle class?!? :lol::D:winkgrin::lol:

I think it is ironic that she claims Beezie (granddaughter of General Patten of WWII fame) is a hard scrapple rider. Some for McClain Ward or Kent Farington. These “old timers” which includes Katie and George Morris were not “poor” or even middle class. They were wealthy. Riding is and always has been for the rich. Recently it is has become a sport of the “rich & famous” which may be the point of the interview.

THIS. When she compared McClain to a rider who actually had to WORK/climb his way up the ranks, she lost me.

Isn’t her father a farrier and her mother a barn manager? Wouldn’t that count as middle class?

Yes, that is her background, according to this article.

Her story is not atypical of some of the very, very talented kids without trust funds mentioned earlier in the thread- equally horse-crazy parents who are 110% committed to the child’s success.
