MB CIVIL SUIT UPDATE #10 K’s Request to Adjourn (delay) DENIED 11/01/22

I’ve forgotten. Does MHG also live right near the house LK bought recently?

Eh. Maybe.

Would there be that many spectators at the ring in the first place?

Or do you think people are going to make a special effort to stop whatever they are doing at that time and go to that ring in order to turn their backs to it? That seems a little unlikely to me.

Because… horse people.

Good point - I was thinking of the center ring - the one with the tent and stands. Right, she would be riding in the outer rings which no one looks at -

I doubt anyone would turn their back. This bunch would be filming away to post here.

Not the jury in the criminal trial beyond a reasonable doubt.

He can protect a loved one. Self defense.

I have yet to find any recipe headstones in this cemetery, but will keep an eye out :stuck_out_tongue:

I am not and never have been a baker but would be game to try a new soup or stew recipe….

Were people rushing up to shake her hand or get photos with her at Wellington before the trial? During? Since then?

I bet she has to hire a town crier to go before her announcing her name for anyone to notice her and they then take the time to hold their purses tightly to their chests or put a hand on their wallet as they stroll away.

Fun read.

You can protect a complete stranger and it’s self defense.

The jury found NG on attempted murder of RG. That has nothing to do with his acting in self defense of another person, Lauren.

You can’t possibly blame the current barn. That’s very unfair. I know that people would take her in who had no clue about her background…again I think you put too much into thinking that the dressage community is entrenched in this drama. They are not. He was not the go to trainer for people looking to get noticed for the Olympics either. That would have been Robert Dover or Debbie MacDonald over the past few years.
I am not supporting LK and family at all…I am just saying that you can’t hold others accountable for taking her in when they most likely did not know the whole story. Most likely the same reason MB got stuck with her in the first place, he didn’t know her story.

Didn’t someone say her father was introducing her to the strangers at their table that she is the one Michael Barisone shot, as though it is a big badge of honor and way to get attention? Witnesses say the people politely stared at him disinterested in who they were. So this is the Manager family’s claim to fame except the plan isn’t working out as expected regardless how much influence they attempt over judges.

Just like other professionals , trainers and barn owners don’t make emotional decisions. They make objective, money-based calculations. One of those is whether someone’s quirks are worth putting up with for the financial gain. And there are LOTS of difficult horse people.
As Bogey says, if someone had a vague memory of LK in a bad incident, they’d just take her on as a client and see if she paid off, literally.
There are probably people who would say they would never train with Barisone because all they know is “He’s the guy who shot someone.”

I think most of the current disbelief is that she’s still there. I mean, recent shenanigans would have most people upset. I would be very upset to find out that one of my fellow boarders was using after hours night check as an excuse to play catwalk and blast music at night when no one else was around. Based on her comments about the lack of chatter around the crossties, and her history, you could never convince me otherwise that the real reason for being there wasn’t to recover her recordings.

also meant to say that I do know a few BNT who have high Olympic hopes that DM, RD, CH, and the other cadre train with, also included MB, and were frequently at their barn I would not discount MB as a trainer that top hopefuls were training with - I know for a fact they were.

and based on past behavior they have to tread lightly…so who knows, they may be building a legal case so they don’t get in the same predicament MB was in.

If I’d heard a10th of what I’ve heard about LK, I’d be doing some research before letting her into my hypothetical barn. I’m sorry, but I’d eat ramen noodles before letting her in. I don’t want to deal with difficult people anymore.

I shared my Mom’s recipe for “maid rites” on her funeral handout (not sure what the official term is)
