Barisone Verdict Is In: Not Guilty By Reason of Insanity

[Sdel]

@MorganSercu

Do you think these are new investigations started now that the trial is over? MHG, GJ and others who submitted information to USEF may finally have gotten their attention? Or do you think USEF and SS are looking at MB’s case? Perhaps both.

Perhaps both. I don’t think it can be overlooked that MHG has her own connections to USDF/USEF and she probably has her own sponsorships and horse’s half owners to worry about/protect. I suspect LK’s commentary on the Robert McDonald threads wasn’t due to random or idle interest so there is probably some connection there given MHG’s recent GP debut.

it would be worse than any ‘made for TV’ movie.
But play out on COPS quite possibly…

[Knights_Mom]

I’d solidly say yes it has to do with MHG.

@MorganSercu

The closest I can recall is banning SW.

I was only vaguely aware of that. She was not even a member, was she? But did they suspend or ban her anyway so that she could not set foot on any competition grounds?

[MorganSercu]

That is what I have gathered.

[BrendaJane]

who’s SW?

the glossary for these threads would take up a few pages…

I read Ronald McDonald and was trying to figure out where McDonald’s played in

Susan W…something of Dressage Hub.

Oh…not an actual player in this epic epos in several parts.

No, just a tangent in the discussion about whether someone can be suspended by USEF for bad behavior that is not actually directly related to a horse or a competition.

Although apparently LK and SW have a long history of conflict between them. So it would be interesting if they were both suspended by USEF on similar grounds.

Well, what horse person does not stop at McDonald’s on the regular between the barn and the house or the horse show? Lol.

I have to check myself every time I think about it….did I use the right name….

Generally speaking, men are not fans of how women age. Many seek younger, riper fruit.

Ironic.

IIRC, SW was specifically banned from the show grounds—the dressage equivalent to Welly World—down in Wellington. (Whatever it’s called).

So I guess show management can do that.

I don’t know if she was ever a USEF member.

If there is legitimate discrimination, I have no issues with someone seeking justice.

No, I shouldn’t think anyone would.

But it was months ago that she was taunting about hiring a top law firm and simultaneously attacking SS on that thread. The one thing we do know is she always signals her intentions. Whatever the posting equivalent of a poker face is (impulse control?) she does not have it.

We know that a big firm is not repping her in the civil case, so, unless she’s lying (again, which, given is highly likely at all times) a BigLaw firm has been engaged for something. I just hope it isn’t a frivolous suit against SS b/c that organisation has limited resources and a really important job to do. They don’t need or deserve the distraction in this case.

I did not interpret her comments in the SS thread as saying she intended to sue or attack SS.

Not entirely a tangent. SW early on posted that she approved of MB shooting LK.

MB hits 50 in 2015 and starts a relationship with MHG, despite being married to a woman closer to his age?

Tasteless of KM to refer to MHG as “younger, riper fruit”. s/

Well, lots of people post stupid things. As we know all too well here.
