I’m so in the dark here. Who is the TB rescuer, etc? Do fill me in! I’ll pop popcorn while I wait. I’m on vacation, and have a feeling I’ll have some very interesting reading to catch up on.
Search Churchill Equestrian on here and…oh…what the heck is their current operating name??? TB sport horse sales and rescue or something. Just sales/ rescue Lexington Ky might bring them up on Google.
Dont have time now but will seek it out later today. They are the ones that cut and paste sales horses on the beach, dont allow buyers on their property, even to pick up a horse and only allow their own vet to see the horse.
Wow. That is a whole bunch of…paranoia at it’s finest
These are the types of people and stories that make my husband shake his head and swear horse people are crazy. I just tell him there are crazies in every facet of life. Not just the horse world!
What is Amy hoping to accomplish by dissing “the” George?
The thing is, you have to be somewhat crazy in the first place to do horses. So crazy is the baseline. After that, it is all just a question of degree.
True :winkgrin:
I read the “Ace Sport Horses Blog” update. Oh, my… :eek: :no:
So bazaar that she thinks her whole life was ruined by a spur.
Thank you, Findeight! I’ll have to dig in and find these lovely people.
I agree with you, MHM, that doing horses commands a bit of crazy, and I am a frequent flier on the crazy plane; certain trainers give me more frequent flier miles than others.
I feel bad for the horse
I just watched a bunch of videos of both the stallion Cradilo and a mare by him, Deluca (the one she’s so mad at Hunter Holloway/ GHM over*) and they are both really nice horses. NOT 1.60m international like she claims but both really solid and sweet at 1.40-1.45. HOWEVER the riding style is bizarre, inaccurate at best, dangerous at worst, and does the horse(s) no favors at all. I’m surprised she’s so mad at Hunter in fact, I would think she would be all over a good riding young pro like that to take those horses into the ring. Makes the horse look very conventional, not having to focus on just surviving.
*At least, I think she is mad at HH because of her involvement with GHM. It’s incredibly hard to follow.
No kidding. On one hand, she believes HH isn’t qualified enough to win a major medal final, but then she asks why HH even needed to win a major equitation final when she has already beat many riders in the Grand Prix. Um, she sounds pretty qualified to win to me!!
What’s funny is that GM didn’t even judge the Maclay that year, so this commentary really makes no sense as her win has absolutely nothing to do with the man’s opinion.
From her blog:
[b ]“When was the last time a rider from Kansas, competing out of Ocala in the winter (not West Palm Beach) won the National Medal Maclay finals? Let me think … ah … can we say never? George Morris is the international renowned Equitation legend. All equitation finals, but especially the ASPCA Medal Maclay, the most prestigious, is his baby. Why does an 18 year old rider who has already beat most top riders in the world at some point in the Grand Prix ring need to win a 1.10m equitation final? Equitation is designed to produce jumper riders … not prove that they are already there.”[/b ]
OH, she is GOOOOOD.
DAYUM.
Manipulative See You Next Tuesday!
If you can’t be famous, be infamous?
not that it really matters, but that was Hunter Holloway
I know that, but I didn’t think it was appropriate to mention a person by name on a public forum, especially when the allegation is unfair and unfounded, especially when some of the allegations being made could be considered libelous defamatory statements.
From her blog…
But for the sake of the horses and future generations of the people that love them, this darkness that has haunted our industry for a long time (there are several well researched books that highlight it) really does need to be exposed and eliminated as much as possible
what are these “several books”? The only one I can think of is Hot Blood by Ken Englade. Wonder if she read it and became obsessed and projected the insidiousness of those events onto her own problems. Because otherwise I just can’t figure out from her writing what the actual conspiracy is lol
All I know is I read it started with a spur and GM
No. I grew up in the Chicagoland area. But again, you all prove the point of OP of the Forum being nasty thread. But it’s clear from you and your gang’s posts that I’m not the one with the wild imagination.
BTW, have you actually taken the SafeSport training? I think not, or you would know that it’s not just about sexual abuse. It’s about all kinds of things, bullying and ganging up (which you and others are now doing) included. It’s a shame that you behave this way to an adult. How did you behave toward other children when you were younger. Wait - you don’t have to answer that as your actions speak for themselves.
But go ahead. Have at it! Glad I can feed your ego today since clearly it is quite hungry!
*Edited as I had mistakenly thought this was the “Nasty” thread and mentioned the OP of this thread instead of the OP of the “Nasty” thread.
