Yes, but I managed to save the texts. I’ll see if the pictures were stored in my cache.
Yes to both questions. Please understand there is a valid reason which has nothing to do with the validity of the information

Can you post the reason why?

Against my better judgement, I will delete the post. That information needs to made public and people need to be made aware of what EDH is truly capable of.

My heart breaks for that poor horse… but I’m glad it if finally made public. I was told a few months ago about it but I’ve been careful to only post/comment what I can personally prove. I kept faith that the truth always comes out…and finally it looks like her time is up and things are coming to light.
I’m guessing the original poster got spooked (pretty sure I know why) but screenshots last forever! Several people have posted them to my FB.

That is horrific. Accidents do happen when training horses, but if what happened after is true I am horrified.

At the last event here in area v. At the start of BN she decided the oxers were to big and proceed to walk into the ring and lower them. Even though the course was already a smaller BN height. Also lunged a horse for 25+ mins before got on it for dressage.

Good to know it’s fine for competitors/trainers to adjust the fence heights as they see fit at shows…wow.

Were they left where she put them?
That just seems weird.

Did no one tell the organizers? That’s so bizarre?!
Ouch, she sounds like a trainer where I used to live. The local barn managers that ran a summer show series let the trainer get away with murder. I won’t say they were afraid of her, but they definitely were cautious and did not confront her.
Several times she reset jumps to how she wanted. The course would be left that way. The only time I heard complaints is when she did it after several competitors had already gone. Big name, little pond = being able to be a bully.

I won’t lie, I find it disgusting that the show committee didn’t do anything about it. From what I understand, and I wasn’t there, several people gathered together to complain but yet nothing was done. I also think it’s pretty insane that with people coming forward in droves to complain about this particular trainer nothing has been done. The very organizations that are put into place to protect the horses and the sport is failing the very things they claim to love. I’m really unclear on why nothing at an authority level has happened to her. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. There’s also plenty of evidence but yet nothing happens to her not matter how much is brought forward. Maybe it’s karma’s way of saying that true evil does still exist out there.

You mean the oxers in the show ring? Did she get with the organizer and ask to have them measured? My local organizers would levitate off the ground and stick a boot where the sun doesn’t shine! I’ve seen it happen when people who thought they were special because the ride upper levels think they can get their way.
Um, look what’s going on in our politics. :uhoh:

That’s what I don’t understand either. There is loads and loads of evidence that exists, and yet, crickets. How in the hades any governing body finds this behavior with sufficient evidentiary support excusable and acceptable is beyond me. What on earth more has to happen at this point? It’s appalling all the way around.

So what you are saying is that at a recognized event, a trainer went into the set up stadium course and changed the height of at least one fence and noone from the show management did anything about it? I don’t know much, but it seems that might possibly mean that division was compromised and the results are null and cannot be counted as a recognized event.

I went to Stormy’s FB page and found the post that was deleted from here earlier. While this so-called “trainer’s” behavior at shows is ridiculous, it pales in comparison to the real concern - what she does to the horses that fall into her hands. I won’t repeat the story here as I get that there seems to be some legal issue about it. But just go to Stormy’s FB page if you are curious.
