Some people say she's the greatest. Her performance in Athens in 2004 proves their points. A recent survey at Horseland, a popular virtual horse website, showed that there isn't really a horse lover that doesn't love her. Beezie is a big influence on many equestrians' lives, especially young and up-and-coming jumpers. The 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens proved why many people love Beezie.
She competed in the show jumping rounds, coming in first place in the first qualifying rounds, second in the first and second team rounds, and thirtieth in the final round. She helped lead the United States Equestrian Team to the silver medal in the team jumping competition. In 2007, Madden was named the 2006 United States Equestrian Foundation's Rider of the year, along with her horse Authentic, who was named the Foundation's Horse of the year. I want to know what you think. Is Beezie the greatest? Who is, if she isn't?
