Ah, this is prime time entertainment and I am so excited to see where it goes.
Poor Humble and Hilton Hhonorsā¦Iāve dealt with Mandarino before. God bless her ponies - they deserve so much more.
Anyone who was here this morning want to fill us in on the rants and posting that were deleted (not askign for the realyl personal stuff the mods deleted, but just the general topics)? I saw/quoted Pony Princess, but if the OP came back and ranted, would be so curious to indulge :yes:
My horse slipped while jumping a course & fell on me when I was 14, knocked me out cold, was totally incoherent for 20+ minutes, and apparently unable to answer any Qs other than my horseās name. They let me sleep in the hospital, but woke me up every 2 hrs. Sent me home the next day. And I had even had a seizure while unconscious.

I read this entire thread this morning and must be missing something, a decomposing pony in a paddock?! :eek:[/QUOTE]
See post 82 for cliff notes version-Unfortunately, the original went poof before it could be quoted.
We better get closure on this thread! Weāve had far to many threads recently where nobody comes back to clarify/update and it makes me SO UPSET.
[QUOTE=RomeosGirl;8778125]
Looks like you can delete now. If you click Edit on your own post there is an option next to cancel that says Delete. (I didnāt click it since I didnāt really want to delete my post:cool:.)[/QUOTE]
I think itās always been possible to delete a post. It used to be possible to delete a whole thread if you were the OP, but that changed years ago. Unless itās changed back?
Hello, sorry to keep all of you waiting for so long.
So! Unfortunately, I fell victim of EMās charms and FB āmarketingā, as such I ended up boarding there.
After a few months, her true colors started showing. I quickly realized that I made a mistake so I gave her notice that I wish to leave.
Shortly after my notice, my bills mysteriously increased. Naturally, I started questioning some of the charges which to my surprise were not legitimate, causing my bills to further skyrocket. I started getting threats of leins being put on my horses and EM threatening to sell them.
This situation quickly escalated to a point where I had to seek legal help. I had to go to court to get the amount reduced to the contracted prices for the services agreed upon. Needless to say, all of this has cost me tens of thousands of dollars and unnecessary drama.

Before it goes Poof!!
Iām really starting to wonder how EM manges to pays all of her legal fees since they seem to come from all directions? Are her sales and ponies that profitable??? Such a disaster, and bad name for our industry.
Have we always been able to 100% delete posts without a trace? Is that really the case?!

Responses, yes. Posts that initiate a thread, no.

If it has been deleted within the first 48 hours or so, Iāve always been able to Google the username and a word or two from their post and it has popped upā¦and then can be copied back into the thread. 
Iām guessing money for legal bills is coming from other sources. At some point, when the same thing keeps happening to the same person over and over again, everyone comes to the realization that THEY are the problem and not everyone else! I would think eventually you would just get so tired and emotionally drained trying to constantly do damage control. It must be just utterly exhausting to keep fighting with people over and over again, year after year. It is sad to think how unhappy someone must truly be with themselves to constantly and continually hurt people over and over againā¦especially when young children are involved! :no:

Yup. Of course they arenāt really gone, they exist in the moderator forum. #butweknewthat
I think youāre rightā¦ I had forgotten how that worked

Seriously, I mean Iām exhausted just hearing about it!!! At this point we could probably have ten more people show up with stories, and we still wouldnāt even find it overly juicy because itās been heard beforeā¦ I would still read it mind you, I mean the Olympics donāt start for another few days and all :lol:

Iāve been reading up on Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It explains a lot!
[QUOTE=McGurk;8776207]
Centered,
Amber Hill and itās owner are so notorious in the industry I think the understandable first reaction to the post (particularly since itās the first post of a new member) is that it was trolling.
Maybe the OP does genuinely want information about this facility. If so, several people have helpfully provided links to good information.
If not, I donāt think you can call people to task for being skeptical. It would be a bit like going on a cycling forum as a brand new member and asking people what they know about how to conceal steriod use.[/QUOTE]
Yes ā¦ I thought of that later! <duh> Also realized [later] the references to libations werenāt celebratory (impression I get from corks popping) aātall, more like, āruh oh, need meds to get through this one again.ā
[I found Amberās thread after searching in the field for *this* forum. It hadnāt worked for me before so ā¦ anyway, shouldāve done it sooner. (After finding it ā¦ ach! ā¦ thought of breaching a bottle myself)]. :eek:
Should think that tortuous PV thread would be a better choice for educational value since it dealt with so many closer to the top looking to be compensated for dead animals instead of the AH debacle. Hasnāt been referred to or bumped up in quite some time and wouldnāt need to pretend ignorance under an alter to bring it to light again.
[QUOTE=Mardi;8776560]
Waitā¦what about the Gray Fox Farm/Jill Burnell story from 2013 ? That should rate somewhere at the top for educational value.

Literally making list somewhere I can find it. For EV next rainy day.

It was enough of for me to read the rants posted by EM herself, here! (2012/13).
