Dutch harness horse drama. Update major mare/ foal neglect Nov 2023 post 1782 Update Kate Shearer responds post 1930 Nov 25/23

We have seen more than one place where you have referred to yourself as a lawyer. That is a lie. If you were “going to get sworn in,” then you weren’t yet a lawyer and it’s still a lie. No matter which way to try to spin it, it’s a false statement.

How hard is it to say: “Gee, Scribbler, you’re right. While I think of myself as a lawyer because I have a JD, it’s not truthful to call myself one because I’ve never passed the bar. I won’t refer to myself that way any longer.” And just like that, the drama would be over and everyone would go back to their boring lives.

Passed the bar but never sworn in? Still not a lawyer. Still a lie. Why is it so hard to just admit you inflated your credentials on that one?

Did you tell the person who published this video that they got it all wrong, that the whole pretense of the video is incorrect, that you do not make more as a braider as you do as an equine lawyer because you are not an equine lawyer.

Are you going to claim that video where you are called an equine lawyer (so weird that they mistakenly called you a very specific lawyer instead of just a lawyer) is just another one of those mistakes, maybe another case of identity theft?

Well…

They kind of remind me of a lawyer who posts (posted) here defending their daughter.

The only profession more maligned than lawyers themselves are journalists these days, but contrary to popular opinion, the vast majority of journalists want their content to be accurate and factual. The publisher of that piece on @Kasheare is Tulsa World, the second largest newspaper in the state and rated as “highly accurate” by organizations that track such things.

So if Kasheare wants to throw Tulsa World and the writer Mike Simons under the bus and tell us that they “got it all wrong” and refused to fix the factual errors in the article and video, that is her right. But there are those of us who know that’s not how responsible journalism works. We know that the journalist took notes during the interview and maybe recorded it so he could write the piece later without relying on memory. And we know that adding details like “equine law” lend depth and credibility to the story, but making it up out of thin air is something that will kill your career.

So dismiss that article/video all you want, and pretend that it’s just another example of Fake News. But there are those of us who know.

I’m sorry to say but most of my braiders that work for me make well into the 6 figures every year. And yes I do make a substantial amount of money running my braiding business.

It’s very easy to see my degrees
All from ASU-BS and MS in Family and Human Development, JD, LLM in mediation and arbitration, working on a phd in performance psychology from GCU

I am not sure why you are sorry to say that, and I am amused at how you missed the whole point, most likely intentionally.

It is great that you do well braiding.

It is not great that you are unsafe while you do it (flip flops around clients horses) and that you are willing to spread lies about being a lawyer.

Because those people have the resources to fight. Wait staff and bartenders, not so much.

I’m assuming you’re doing online courses from Grand Canyon University since you’re no longer in Arizona. Are you planning on eventually working with horse show clients in some capacity, helping them to be better mentally and emotionally prepared for competition?
