Oh for goodness sake. Those people are not in the limelight because they don't want to be. I don't know why you think everyone wants accolades and back slapping. Some do the job because they love the horse, the real hero of the industry. They help others without an announcement and volunteer their time assisting and teaching.
Most of the people I know go about their business without the hooplah, live a simple life, work hard and have a laugh, even at themselves.
