Barisone assessment

[DownYonder]

I have to admit, I got a good chuckle about the part in Chapter 3 of her manifesto describing herself as “a client willing to pay top dollar for the services offered at this business.”

Or, it be LK simply saying to her mom “oh, Rob taught the barn hand how to help him with the tile” with no care to the skill and expertise of Mr. McGrain. Ugh.

Anyway, tangent. Kind of.

Good point. Entirely possible.

And frankly, indicative of the larger cluelessness and lack of basic respect at the heart of multiple aspects of this situation that lead to the tragic outcome

Watching what is happening and knowing the truth of the situation are different things. Your source of truth is faulty. Consider some other sources of information to gain a better picture of what actually happened.

Maybe he was trying to make them colic? Not sure

When he’s paying the vet bills?

This happened very late in the situation. I was talking about before she began her training with him.

@Seeker1

Maybe she was afraid of him and thought it would make him stop giving her athe hard time that he has secretly sworn to do… maybe not the best choice but their behavior was all messed up. Also she admitted she had mental health issues and was struggling to decide what to do. Maybe her health issues distorted her judgement. But she did not pick up a gun and try to kill him. She dealt with it as best she could given her constraints and challenges. Michael on the other hand…

I feel like these two posts belong together.

I’ve been reading, and hearing testimony and reading over and over again that LK didn’t know what MB was like, and that nothing was in writing. But this says different.

Excellent catch. But does she mean there was a written agreement/contract signed by the various parties, or does she mean that she wrote down (in her diary, her manifesto, wherever) what she thought the agreement was (or what she wanted it to be)?

[Seeker1]

We said she didnt know Before!!!

Well, it was also “recorded”. I guess that was also RG, kind of like how he recorded ED. Maybe it was a bait and “switch” operation.

I guess I touched a nerve.

That may not necessarily make them colic—but boy will it make them founder!

I will say this again and use my outside voice for those in the back, NO HORSE(WO)MAN WOULD EVER, EVER HARM A HORSE BECAUSE THEY DON’T LIKE THE OWNER!

Just FYI. I literally burst out laughing at that comment.

Nobody gets to the Olympics around horses by being so unconcerned about their basic welfare. Please. Get a grip.

[Seeker1]

Respectfully, Who cares what you think? Certainly not i.

That’s a despicable and ridiculous bit of desperate mud slinging.

Remember… you are on the COTH forums. This sort of mud slinging? Yeah… won’t work with this crowd.

What a coincidence.

[Seeker1]

Michael harmed horses when they didn’t mind him.

@Seeker1

No… actually it is still me kirby kanarek…praying for you and wishing you to be the very best version of yourself.

Ok. Well thank you.

Lauren expressed fear of what he would do to them.

[Seeker1]

You are welcome.
