Nice of the interviewer not to hit her up for concert tickets.

[coachfun1987]

Sounds like a smart & sweet young lady.

Looks a lot like her mom.

@ApocalypsePlough

I completely agree. Though, if you have a decent Warmblood and your a soft and effective rider then you may have a shot. :3

nice kid..

Her father - you know, that Bruce guy - was going to buy her a million dollar horse named Pavarotti, but the deal didn't go through. How can other equestrians compete against a girl whose father's estimated worth is in the hundreds of millions of dollars, and can drop a million bucks for a horse at the drop of a hat? They can't.

I do applaud her, though, for not winding up a criminal or drug addict like the sons and daughters of so many rock stars. Bruce and Patty are doing something right.

not much credit for the horse....in fact.....none

Theyre looking very deep into each others souls hahahahaha

Yes she is an amazing rider, but if I had all that money I could probably be just as good. She has the money to hire the top trainers, buy top horses, and show all around the world. Obviously she works hard to be a good rider, but it's easier to be the best you can be when you're learning from world-class trainers and riding horses worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Let's face it, this sport is all about money, and it's hard to get anywhere without it.

This has always been a sport for those with money. Purchasing and owning a horse is costly. Competing is costly. Just because someone has money does not make them any less serious about the sport they have chosen. EVERY person competing in this sport has money. Nobody got into this sport, and succeeded, through determination and drive, alone. For those who think otherwise, you’re fooling yourself. It an expensive sport, and from what I can see, JS is not wasting her time or her money.

A lot of riders are jealous that she is competing, winning and riding a horse worth well over 100k. But think about it. She was given it all. She didn't have to work for any of it and develop that deep rooted passion and drive. She didn't have to work her way up. So really in all of this she's the one at the disadvantage. You never see someone who is spoon fed gold medals change a sport.

[havetogojump]

@mokhashin ur dumb the rider does matter if the rider is good and she has talent and she has to practice u gotta help the horse and every thing
