“Rita and I were both the same age, grew up in similar families with similar interests (music, sports, horses)—but I was on the West Coast. I was also in 4-H, started out with a pony about the same age, graduated to a “grade” Quarter Horse, but ended up with an Appaloosa (that was a “second class” breed compared to Quarters at that time) in high school. There was a girl (only child with wealthy parents) in my 4-H club who always won the ribbons & trophies and I felt second class to her — the competition in our club was intense. I, too, wanted acceptance from my other highly skilled equestrian girlfriends and thought winning would get me into “their gold level” club—including winning at top level equestrian competitions—I clearly identified with Rita in this story. However, by my senior year of high school after only riding in a few local higher-level non-4-H horse competitions, I QUICKLY realized my time and hard-earned allowance/hard jobs put into the horse shows wasn’t worth the “cheap” trophies/ribbons I was focused on. If Rita felt all of her horses, trophies, ranches, etc would bring her happiness and self-worth, what a scandalous way she went fulfill this desperate need. As a horse enthusiast, thanks for mentioning the various horse shows, number of horses she took with her, honors she won—I recognized the significance of them. Excellent reporting and excellent narrator. PS — how did Rita get the “new last name” of Crundwell from her maiden name? Was there another scam in that relationship?”

“I honestly enjoyed listening to this. Hearing first person accounts of some of the people who actually lived this type of “only in the movies” lifestyle was awesome. However when y’all had to mention Trump, this lost all credibility for me. Especially when we have a sitting President whose son...”Read full review »
