Barisone assessment

No, I’m not being disingenuous.

The plan for LK to leave was not reneged on. The plan proposed by Tarshis was not agreed to by LK, and she was continuing to negotiate her departure with ED when Barisone shot her.

Tarshis did not have the legal right to compel her to leave sooner than 30 days unless she voluntarily agreed, which she hadn’t.

I was assuming that MHG and MB made it known to her then the massive complaint was being complied, and that would have known it was in the works.

And only one was gracious enough to qualify their credibility by claiming a name.

I sadly think that maybe you don’t realize how you are coming across - or what you are doing.

Where have I insulted you or derived enjoyment from it? I can spare you the search… no where.

If I was posting the way LaLaPopRider often did, yes - absolutely - you would have grounds for calling me out.

But I don’t. I never would. And you insisting otherwise does not make it a fact.

I am truly sorry for you that LK has put your family in this position…


The barn manager we had to fire here as well as the Trainer B**** From Hell who preceded her by about a year (although if they had been at the barn at the same time, they might have battled each other and spared everyone else their toxic venom) truly savored every insult… every argument… and TBFH had a small group of clients who obediently did her bidding and even sent the BO letters to complain about barn staff (including me). One letter from one notable lunatic even suggested that we were “sneaking” into the big barn late at night and “putting poison” in the feed tubs of certain horses that were on TBFH’s show string in hopes that they would “colic and die”.

Yes, it was that insane and desperately tense in the barn at times. Many meetings resolved nothing - the nonsense and lies continued. TBFH ordered me off “her” property - I quietly pointed out that the entire farm was my job site and not her property - and that yes, I came up to the big boarding barn about 11:00 every night to check on horses and their water buckets. It was part of my job. We then discovered that she had had her hubby install little security cameras all over the barn - and even in the arena and the bathroom right above the toilet - who does that? Two of the boarders and I took them down. The atmosphere in that barn was charged… so when I first heard about the MB/LK issues and saw LK carrying on all over FB in the same way that TBFH did… I was saddened that others were dealing with something like that and was curious to see how this would all sort out. We did manage to move TBFH along after TWO long years of her games and fun. She ended up being hoist by her own petard.

The barn manager/thief/abuser who came later was an entirely different story. Her MO was feigned innocence, a surprised expression and batting eyelashes as opposed to the howling her predecessor favored… but her intent was the same. Control & Manipulation. Unfortunately for her, the messy trail she left behind her was easy to find - especially thanks to local horse forums on the internet where warnings were posted and experiences were shared.
Unbelievable stuff - and she thought that simply changing her last name when she came here would hide all that. She was very wrong… and we got screwed over at first the way she had messed with so many others through 3 states.

I cannot describe the immense flood of relief I had when she was escorted off the property by the sheriff - when the BO had come down the barn aisle to fire her the day before, she refused to leave and said we (the barn staff) and specifically me - were lying as we were jealous of her. Yeeeeah right. Cue the sheriff.

I am sadly all too familiar with how a barn can be destroyed by one or two people. It starts as a small ripple - and can become a tsunami.

And it’s Iron E moving up the inside. Otto Sabotage is in the middle of the pack. My Opia is making a move, but it’s not enough! Iron E has broken away. And it’s Iron E with strong finish. My Opia in second by a length, and Otto Sabotage in third. Iron E with the win!

Perfectly understandable, given the way some posters love to do the gigantic chain quotes instead of just quoting the relevant part of a previous post.

That’s her point. Anyone who offers first hand information of MBs behavior and mental state years before LK was in the scene sees the uber nasty assault on them in SM and is intimidated into silence.

the recommended age to get a colonoscopy is 45.
So a decade earlier than ‘mid 50s’
I also have no clue where this fits into this subject. The ‘joke’ falls flat there, Sweety.

Check it again

I had a colonoscopy at 17 as a precautionary. Had GI issues going on. Found nothing, meant nothing.

Meanwhile, I will wait for the dark embrace of death at 55 to entomb me.
