There's been some humor injected into the usually serious world of dressage competition this Olympic qualifying season!  

Ann Romney is part owner of Jan Ebeling's ride, the Oldenburg mare Rafalca.  This has been picked up by the main-stream press and of course was perfect fodder for humor a la Stephen Colbert.

If you haven't already seen the videos, here are the first ones from Colbert Nation:
