I wonder if there is any mention of the brown recluse or black widow spider bites in those texts? You know, the ones that prevented her from riding? I’ve never heard of anyone bitten so frequently by dangerous spiders, particularly spiders that hide from humans generally. I wonder if those bites were an excuse for something else?

Broken jaw from hyperflexion. Oh wait, wrong thread LOL

Sort of thinking of Ron Weasley’s Screamer

Officially called a “howler” though it does scream.

@ohnoO

Did I read that she asked/texted her dad (maybe) to clarify what they were suing for?

This one?

Line 14: (outgoing-2:06.21PM) Let me know about Michaels lawyer. . . Also, if you can explain what we will really be suing about. I don’t think Michael is being honest with him. He might advice Michael to settle. I feel like it’s worth a try.

I read that as asking dad to explain the suit to MB’s lawyer (not to LK) to convince said lawyer to advise MB to settle (as they believe MB is misleading the lawyer).

I wish there was an investigative reporter looking into all of this. If there is and they came on this forum, we could help them pick out a cool horse theme title for their book.

As long as it isn’t “Behind the Bit.”

What was stopping her? She lived on the property and could not show up for lessons!

Sorry if someone already mentioned this. Didn’t someone say that a suboxone side effect is sleepiness? Maybe that’s why she was napping a lot and not at her lessons.

Any good ideas for a book title?

We need to channel Dick Francis. His racing theme books had good titles.

He used the word Dead a few times. So like Dead Text? Dead Finish The Bastard?

Again, it is quite suspicious to me the Kanareks didn’t sue the police for all that was not done according to procedures that would have 100% proved what happened that day!

Is it possible that the Ks are happy with what is, objectively, a really really bad job by the police b/c the Ks know something we don’t? As in, what really happened that day and that it not only did not happen as they claim, the truth would be harmful to LK and/or RG? Thus, the shoddy police work actually prevented evidence gathering that could have implicated someone other than MB so the Ks benefit from the crap investigation?

@Paint_Party

From what I gather from the texts posted, LK was on the warpath because, among other things, she believed she wasn’t getting the training from MB she’d come to expect.

Another possibility is she actually did not believe she wasn’t getting the training she was (barely) paying for, but they needed to drum up some basis for a lawsuit so, probably among others, they decided to say they weren’t getting the training and, see, we have a vet who agrees that [horse name] has lost muscle since s/he’s been here. Sadly for them, this vet wouldn’t play ball.

FWIW, I read the ‘police are buffering’ to mean: we have all this illegally recorded stuff that we can use to blackmail them. Right now, b/c the police are involved, they are acting as a buffer [i.e., preventing us from using it to illegal threaten and blackmail] between us and everyone else.

@ekat

So, we didn’t find out WHY during the criminal trial.

I’d say the why is b/c she was being rejected and kicked out and suing him would give her a cover story about why she ‘left’ or, if people knew she was kicked out, she could lie and say it was b/c he did wrong and she was suing. Also, for grifters like this, one element is always just to get $ b/c they don’t earn their own. This suit was just harassment and akin to damaging a flat on your way out the door. Her ego was injured by being rejected and kicked out so she had to ‘make him pay’ and also hurt him somehow on her way out.

That’s just what people like this do. And she hoped the blackmail with the tapes and telling Tarshis about them would convince MB to settle this lawsuit so it wouldn’t cost the Ks much of anything to shake him down.

Also, FWIW, I read the ‘fall in the line’ reference as saying they have an illegally recorded conversation in which MB and/or MHG and/or other HH staff are talking and saying they will force other people at HH (staff, boarders) to fall in line with their position to get rid of LK.
