You could say that

Received this e-mail from my sister, an English professor and dressage rider in Minnesota:
"Have been watching the [Olympic] dressage and eventing with great interest--that beautiful, whimsical cross-country course was just a delight.  Heard Phillip Dutton introduced as being from West Grove, Pa., and since you know every living soul in the area, wondered what you might know of him? (He has an excellent sitting trot.)"
I'm assuming she is going to be teaching the rhetorical device "understatement" to her freshman students this coming semester.
