The Horse Race

Mitt Romney posed for this photo for Newsweek in 2004. Romney's wife Ann is an avid equestrian and competes in dressage at a national level. Ann credits horseback riding as an effective physical therapy for multiple sclerosis, a condition she has battled since 1997. The Romneys maintain a large stable of horses in Utah.
