| Advantages are well, advantageous... Posted: 04 Feb 2011 12:33 PM PST  That was then, this is... my blog post These days, advantages are something different. Intelligence. Wit. Athleticism. Toughness. And okay, a looking great. I was perusing an old horse magazine and saw the engagement announcement for Hillary Dobbs: accomplished show jumper, Harvard graduate this year, daughter of the famous and wealthy Lou Dobbs. And if you can believe the blurb, she sings. See what I mean? Advantages. Admit it! Doesn't part of you just want to roll your eyes? I fought the urge. And as with most things, scratching even a little bit beneath the surface reveals a truer picture. Here's a really cool article where Hillary Dobbs talks candidly about what it's like to be affluent and especially how it helped her to succeed in the horse world. I admire that she tells us, in a roundabout way, what her five horses cost. You also read about the plain old hard work it took to get her where she is. No shortcuts. As my husband says, the rich are rich for a reason (usually), and keeping wealth is a lot of work. Another thought -- here's someone who could convincingly model riding apparel. Tailored Sportsman, are you listening?  |
