Yes. She. Someone (*) has clearly not been following along.

(*) Not you. The person who posted the comment.

I got an email statement from him…not sure why because I am a dressage rider.

The Facebook comments are funny. People acting like they haven’t heard whispers…

I got the email from him at 5pm.
Let’s see what develops. I was wondering when someone would post.

Because “somehow” it seems he got the USEF email list seeing as everyone got it ay the same time. L O L

That was predictable. It should be interesting. We’ll see how many in the hunter/jumper world are really comfortable with the “no statutes of limitations” concept, where it means bringing down the sport’s greatest luminary with 50 year old allegations.

(And please do not misinterpret my comment to mean I think his alleged behavior would be acceptable today or anytime in the last couple decades.)

I didn’t get it, but I haven’t gotten anything from USEF in a long time now that I think about it. I suspect that I managed to unsubscribe from USEF itself by unsubscribing from one of the spam emails from someone trying to sell something. That has happened before.

Edited to add that I thought that GM didn’t do email?

I’m not terribly shocked as we have all heard rumors, and George himself has admitted to bad behavior in his early years.
However, I’m not really sure the ban will actually effect him much. Most of his clients come to him and from what I understand he doesn’t come to shows in a trainer position very often. I can’t see his clinics stopping or a drying up of people wanting to train with him. I seriously doubt his wealthy clients will desert him… and if they do, he can certainly come teach me!

I saw told he could not do clinics with USEF members in attendance. Is that correct?

You know what makes me sick, outside the obvious if the allegations are proven true? Someone is going to use this as an excuse to start the same old [stuff] about Anne Kursinski speaking up. She was brave and she doesn’t deserve that.

And this is why the cries of a ruined life and reputation are false. Not criticizing but I hate when people say that because clearly there are clients no matter what.

Paul Vallerie (sp) has gotten along just fine with a lifetime USEF ban.

I’m a USEF member and get all the emails, but I haven’t received George’s yet.

I have to say, the response from my horse circle on social media has been very interesting. However this turns out, I feel like I’m learning a lot about how people think about sexual assault, and I’m really not impressed.

Well this should get interesting… The rumors have been around for among time. Wonder how many more will end in this fashion also?

The use of USEF email list for personal reasons is not cool. Who wants to get emails from everyone being investigated by SS?

Me neither.

There are multiple people saying she, which really helps to demonstrate how people who don’t know someone at all, like really basic public knowledge, feel free to voice their insanely wrong and ignorant opinions. Like, you don’t know George Morris is gay, I’m confused how you even know who he is then.

Excellent point

Admittedly we don’t know what list he has, hopefully it isn’t USEF.
