Plenty of top showjumpers aren’t particularly nice. But they also don’t go around putting out press releases about the new farms they buy. If you don’t want people to think you’re entitled, don’t promote your new “business” by doing a glossy lifestyle piece about how pretty it is and how great you are. I can’t remember the last time any big showjumper did a sua sponte pictorial about a new property they bought (or that someone else bought for them).[/QUOTE]
Noooo, none of the other BNR’s put out puff pieces. Certainly not Beezie (because she is perfect). Noooooo she would never do that.
Oh wait!!! She and John DID do just that:

And Kent Farrington would never invite people into his barn so they could video (for publication) all the lovely rooms and stalls and horses.
Oh wait!! He DID do that.

And how about all the Behind the Barn Door pieces in COTH? (I am thinking of the ones that showed the whole farm, not the ones about a single horse)
McLean inherited his farm from his father, Barney. Barney also bought McLean’s horses when he was a junior/young professional. If you want to see the farm, just go to McLean’s web site.
Anyone who will never again appreciate Reed’s talent or accomplishments because of the way she walked out of a ring when she was 18… well, perhaps you are too busy polishing your halos to think about to how you comported yourselves when you were 18. Just sayin’.
