Stephen Colbert Mocks Romney's Sport of Choice

On Tuesday's edition of "The Colbert Report," Stephen Colbert opened the show with news that a horse co-owned by Mitt Romney's wife, Ann Romney, may compete in an equestrian game at the 2012 Olympics in London.

"It's going to be a long drive to London on top of their station wagon," Colbert joked.

Ann Romney's horse, Rafalca, placed third in the United States Equestrian Federation National Dressage Championships in New Jersey, a qualifying event for the U.S. Dressage Team in the Olympic Games.

"This is exactly what Mitt needs," Colbert said. "He's had a little trouble relating to Joe Six-Pack [given] the image of Romney as a privileged princling."

Horse dressage — also known as "horse ballet," as Colbert noted — will do just the trick, right?
