Clearly there are people posting on this thread who have never benefitted from a friend, neighbor or colleague offering to help in some manner. Of course, you have to have a friend IRL, be a decent neighbor or a respected colleague in order to receive a kindness.

And it’s pretty clear based on those who came to speak on MB’s behalf that he is well liked and respected.

JH still works there last I looked.

Last I saw, JH was coaching/training LO’s daughter and she was very happy with the results.

Yeah, by the user’s fourth or fifth post it was clear to me that I’d be happier adding yet another user name to ignore. While doing so, I noticed all the names on my ignore list have one thing in common: aiming to close threads.

@HoolieB, those owls are adorable.

Right? I am still waiting to see or hear from those friends of Lauren’s from her childhood or later telling the world all about how shocked they are at what happened to her, how uncharacteristic this behavior was of her, that the Lauren they know is just awesome, etc.

Only people who have never spent any length of time with her in person.

No barn friends. No friends from her youth. No former work friends.

Omg her buckskin pony… swoon

How many concussions does it take to get CTE?
According to published research, 17 is the average number of concussions that leads to CTE, which is the progressive brain disease that results in these long-term effects of concussions.Nov 19, 2020

Phew!! Good to know.

A deluge is the impression I received from posters here who said they sent information to MB and MH just prior to the shooting at MB’s request. When I read those posts, I get nauseous thinking about the additional agitation caised. One person at least besides GJ seems to have a grudge.

You make a good point here that I hadn’t considered before. The horse world, especially the dressage community is quite small. I can understand a BO with a troublesome client reaching out to others to see if they had experience with that person and maybe see if someone had resolved issues - to find out what works, if she is all talk, can the Dad control her, etc. But instead of a few stories and maybe some encouragement (she’s all talk, ot speak to JK ) he gets story after story, people threatened with lawsuits, people driven or bullied to the point they are striking back, maybe with equally inappropriate behaviour. It must have been terrifying.

I’m a hot chocolate gal, or a big ole DD regular coffee.

Flavored coffee is an abomination to both God and country.

Of course, you have to have a friend IRL, be a decent neighbor or a respected colleague in order to receive a kindness.

Or even just, you know, not alienate every single person in your orbit.

Some years back, I was at a horse show by myself where I didn’t happen to know anybody. The people in the stalls next to me offered to give me a hand if I needed anything since I was on my own. I didn’t actually need any help, but I thought it was extremely kind of them to offer.

People will even help perfect strangers. Thank goodness.

[PDDT]

Thank you. I couldn’t remember.

[MHM]

Ugh. That sounds like a very rough stretch. So sorry for your loss. That stinks.

She had me at bourbon

I know right! Love the pictures of him.

[McGurk]

Me too! Pretty sure I’m under 17! Not real far under, but under, thank goodness!

Dear @Knights_Mom,

I have a dear friend who responds to all offers of flavored coffee with “No thanks, I prefer coffee flavored coffee.”

Everyone helped moving the horses and equipment to the FL facility except MH. LO stayed and packed up and cleaned out the barn while it was on the market, commuting to and from her home in another state and running her own business. That’s what friends and support people do.

I cannot even imagine trying to cope with that situation. It’s enough of a challenge to do the annual migration to Florida with multiple horses under normal circumstances when you are planning to return to the same place, much less emptying out the home base in order to sell it.

On top of everything else that was going on at the time. Yikes.

@OntheFnce

And if I’m not mistaken, I’m pretty sure she trained clients.

For sure, she was.

Wasn’t part of LK’s problem that she objected to being trained by MHG instead of MB?

Yes. She wanted MB. Not Justin nor MHG. Just MB.

Or as Jonathan put it, “the name on the door”!

Now that you mention it, that was yet another sign that they had no clue how a major league barn works.

It always takes a village to get anything done in those settings. It’s never just a one person operation. No matter whose name is on the door.

@eggbutt

In other news, MH just won her GP on DeeDee. Guess she’s doing quite well.

How great for her. And the horse!
