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

While I think it’s stupid and immature calling someone’s girlfriend a slut, I also think it would be inappropriate to dump a beer on someone. Just sounds like a “play stupid games win stupid prizes” all around, tbh. Not my type of crowd, but whatever.

I do wonder how so much drama can surround a person sometimes. Not just in this thread, but there are just some individuals out there who are like a magnet of sorts.

I did not though. It is the surrounding fun rumour that I have been dealing with since Nov 20. And yes sometimes I wonder why I have faced so many trials and tribulations in life from the identity theft, to my own parent stealing money, but I’m still here and surviving so maybe that’s why? I do not really know. I wish all the above had never happened.

So you didn’t call anyone a slut? You were just minding your own business and a beer was dumped on you? That’s bizarre, but people are crazy I suppose.

Life also throws some “fun” stuff at us that we get to learn to deal with. Some of us more than others.

It’s a long story and yes I was minding my own business when it happened from behind me. But I did not use the word slut and then stopped them from driving obliterated drunk afterwards. Again it’s all on video and I will let the courts handle these things.

How do you know? Or do you know the people involved personally? I might have missed that part.

Having one nice foal does not a successful breeding program make. As I have already said, I would be much much more concerned about the 83% of your foal crop that didn’t qualify for first premium.

Have you been to the Netherlands? Have you used the mating advice service, or asked Bart what he suggested for your mares?

Back on the Barisone threads there was a conversation about the number of shooting victims whose story goes "why officer I was just sitting on my front porch reading my Bible when some fellow I don’t even know from down the block walks up and shoots me out of nowhere. No idea why " Yup, uhuh

I have never breed a horse so honest remark here - I did not know you could sex foals in utero! That’s pretty cool.

Fair- it’s battery. :roll_eyes: in this situation both are in bad taste but one is illegal…. :woman_shrugging:t2:

I don’t for sorry for any of them. Call someone a slut? Get beer poured. Pour beer? Get cited for battery. Make a post as an employee about a patron deserving it? Get fired. Actions can have consequences - for everyone. It doesn’t matter if you think morally you are right.

The sheer ridiculousness of the situation :joy::roll_eyes:. Way to take entitlement in the horse world to a whole new level.

You know, I went to a moderately tough high school in the 1970s when students were left to their own devices to sink or swim. Girls had actual fist fights. I have a very good sense of how you can taunt to get someone to the breaking point, then claim “they started it and attacked me,” and how you can dial up drama so everyone is stalking around ready to pounce. And we didn’t even have social media. Thing is, when I got to be about 16 or 17 I decided it was absolutely ridiculous and stopped participating. So did most teens.

As an adult that’s had a few adventures, I’ve never been in a bar brawl or even had a friend of any gender thats been involved in one. Cranberry juice, beer, nothing. I’ve never had family or coworkers or clients steal money or rip me off. I’ve never felt compelled to trash clients online. Etc Most people don’t experience any of this. So yeah, if you’re a drama magnet look close to home.
