I only know famous horseback riders lol and most people have no clue who they are and I know one well known author, but she writes novels about horses lol so again, it's kinda only people in that community that know her.

I didn't mean community as in local lol, I meant like, the horse community. I know a lot of local music celebs though cuz I went to a music high school. Plus I'm a local celeb lol. I'm in the paper for national riding finals. The riders I know are on the national team and go to the olympics and stuff (I've had lessons with a former olympic team member) and the author sells books everywhere, it's just only horse people generally read them lol. She used to ride at my old barn and I rode her horse a few times.

I'm good friends with Ruth Morren, the author of Winter is Past and Wild Rose...both are Christian romance novels, so I don't really read them. But I still know her.

His wrestling title was Doctor Death, and Count Christian Leophold or something
