Yes, but they don’t approach them first. You go to them.

You, Eggbutt, are an absolute horror of a human being!

I can imagine I am a horror to your family for insisting the truth be told. You know it and I know it, don’t we? Do you actually think I care what you think of me or anyone else on this forum who continue to question what your family did to another human being the summer of 2019? And we are the horrible ones. Dear, dear. There is no one on this thread who can hold a candle to what your family has done to others.

So many questions for you Jonathan, if you really are Jonathan and not Lauren. You two post and berate so much like each other.

Have you and Mrs Kanarek turned over the recordings and transcripts yet? Funny, no mention of the cool quarter million dollar settlement tonight, at least not yet - I’m just catching up.

Are you sure it was her bubble? She has not posted for quite a while.

I’ve been fooled on that one before when I thought it was a bubble of one person, but it turned out to be somebody else with a similar icon.

It was @Seeker1 - if you scroll over the bubble it gives the full name of the poster.

Maybe she had to stop mid-post to yank the keyboard away from IM. Since he is going on about how we are cowards and how eggbutt is “an absolute horror of a human being” does not bode well if he wants to remain a coth poster. Why he even wants to post here is beyond me though.

Edited to get IMs quote bashing eggbutt word perfect.

The trick is letting it dry. Even when you think that it is dry, give it more time.

And don’t use too much on new boots/shoes. Crack and flake.

Huh! Learn something new every day.

@erinmeri

Just want to opine on this more. Dressage, H/J, Reiners, barrel racers, cutting horses, who cares… a horse who can do well with an ammy is going to command a higher price. An ammy who can get the results is an asset. Make sense, @CurrentlyHorseless?

No argument there. Talent and dedication are good attributes in amateurs.

However, the most important attribute of an amateur boarder and client is their ability to pay their bills and perhaps be a source of funds on side deals such as paying commissions on purchases or buying up your retired horses. Perhaps buying an expensive horse for the trainer to campaign.

It’s not necessary for an amateur to have talent to be an attractive prospect to most trainers.

In my neck of the woods, trainers who solicit clients from other clients quickly become persona non grata. Word gets around and the trainer is not invited to clinics with BNTs or social events and is pretty much given the cold shoulder by other trainers. One place I boarded at wouldn’t allow another other trainer on the property after she tried to solicit away several clients. There was a pretty testy exchange between the two trainers at the sign in table when that trainer showed up to watch one of her students ride in a clinic with a VERY BIG NAME TRAINER/JUDGE. It made for a rather unpleasant morning.

My goodness, IM and HH and CH certainly are clutching their pearls today. I wonder what has them so worked up.

[MHM]

I wonder if GAS is aware of IM’s posting habits on the BB yet?

IM has been drafting something for quite awhile. He must have quite a lot on his mind. Feelings he needs to get off his chest. Etc etc.

I assume the courts were closed today in NJ. I doubt there’s any legal news yet. It’s all… interesting.

[BigMama1]

@Omgitsme

Big name” trainers don’t walk up to a first level ammy and invite them to train. You go to them. None of the trainers I know (big name or not) ask people to ride with them.

Small name trainers don’t do this either. It’s client poaching and nobody would risk their reputation on stealing a low-level nobody amateur client lol.

[BigMama1]

@BatCoach

Nothing to call @eggbutt out for. I don’t agree with all of her postings, but no BS there. You seem terribly riled-up tonight. I hope everything is OK - your postings have more errors than usual.

Maybe someone else is having a turn using the @Inigo-montoya login tonight. The posts don’t sound very lawyerly…more like aggressive drunk / drug user to me.

@CurrentlyHorseless

bolding added.

Maybe he bought into her “woman of unlimited means” puffery, and thought she was a great source of revenue — not just training, but sales commissions, buyer of retired horses, etc.

Trainers don’t train amateurs because they’re wunderkinds — they train them to bring in revenue. Some wealthy amateurs sponsor their trainers by providing expensive horses, etc.

LK was also mid to late 30s and attractive.

You clearly don’t ride horses. “Trainers don’t train amateurs because they are wunderkinds”? Are you unfamiliar with the whole H/J/Eq business model for amateurs and juniors, especially? I’ll admit I don’t know the Dressage world so well, but a junior or ammy who can ride anything and win everywhere is worth their weight in GOLD regardless of discipline. They LITERALLY sell the horses. A horse with a record under a junior or amateur is worth a crap ton of money more than a horse who can only perform under a pro unless you’re talking upper, upper levels. If you don’t get that, you’re out of your mind.

I won’t even entertain the rest of your reply, because it’s utter nonsense.

Well, you didn’t understand my reply.

To say that a trainer will take on an average talented amateur because the amateur is a reliable source of board and training revenue, especially if she is of unlimited means, does not contradict your point that talented juniors and amateurs are also valuable.

I do ride. I have no problem hiring whatever trainer is in my price range, and it’s not because I’m super talented. I’m pretty sure it’s because I’m super reliable in paying my bills.

Re bolded: There’s an example of baiting and goading. You’re welcome.

@Inigo-montoya

Lara….why don’t you have a nice drink. MB didn’t want your daughter moving down to the farmhouse lest he be stuck at the barn with you.
I’ve honestly felt sorry for you all this time……but no longer.
I’ve avoided speaking to you in any way but I get something from you in my inbox every day.
Why don’t you ask Deininger and Bilinkas what they think of your posts here and the fact you tag me so I even receive an email.

Is this a sad attempt by @Inigo-montoya at doxxing? Oh dear. I think similar posts have gotten others banned by @Moderator_1 before. Is he suggesting that dear Trub is actually Lara Osborne? Something really has him rattled today.

I’m guessing HutHo still refuses to believe Inigo is JK
