I think you need to paint “TOMMY” in big PINK letters on either side of his body for a week or so.[/QUOTE]
I think she should totally do that! Only maybe she should write “TOMMY GIRL” on his side in pink! LOL
Or better yet “HEY CRAZY TRAINER LADY - MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS, LUV TOMMY.” in hot pink on the fence near the road that she drives on. That would surprise her!
Wow, this has been one of the most entertaining threads I’ve read in a long time. Although, nothing surprises me anymore.
Please keep us posted and I’m just dying to know if she tries to contact you again.

I think you should change his show name to “Hell Spiral”[/QUOTE]
Or AKA Winston or Alias Winston…
And if you get fifth place at the next show freak out about how excited you are to get a ‘pink’ ribbon and how pink ribbons are better than blue “and like waaaay better than the ones with more than one color” right in front of her.
Wowser, a real wackadoo - its late in the thread, but I just had to posit my response:
“Gee, thanks for your prompt response! I will definitely not forget your offer.”
Then when (and she will) she emails you “well, how about it? Can I have him?”
You just respond:
“Sorry, I’m not leasing him now.”
That’s all. She’ll keep jumping up and down. Now I am going to read the whole thread to see if she has written to you again!
after reading the whole shebang, I agree you should not respond in any way. Save her emails and disconnect from her.
And you could rename him “Hell Bitch”. Hee Hee Hee.
Fleur has been wanting a new show name for him … maybe something good will come of this! :lol:

Go out and get yourself some sloe gin (pink gin), and make yourself a Pink Lady this evening, and drink a toast to the wackos of the world.[/QUOTE]
Sloe Gin…ugh…flashback from the 70’s :eek:
I thought I read somewhere that the Victorians dressed male babies in pink. So neener neener. Fleur is being retro. 
Here’s what I would write…
Dear (insert name),
I appreciate that you want my horse, but the animal communicator (that Anky sent to talk to my horse;)) says Tommy doesn’t like kool-aid. Or crayons. On top of that, he is very sensitive about his colour chioce, so if you could not mention it, that would be great. I was thinking about taking you up on your offer, but I want him to stay sane:yes:
Sincerly,
(insert name)

Ambrey, I wasn’t going to post but this is the EXACT same thing I was thinking!! I love that person’s sig… :lol:
hey man, real geldings wear pink. I used to have a WONDERFUL, sweet, love-bug, VERY effeminate gelding, and he just looked so adorable in his pink winter turnout blanket. He was turned out in a herd of four mares, so he was basically one of the girls anyway. :winkgrin:[/QUOTE]
:lol: I was just about to post to this thread and simply advise, “Read my sig and know…it’s not you!” Considering how rarely I post, I’m amused y’all remembered it.
Probably because…it’s true!
Fleur, this is a nutbag. Either a teenage attention whore nutbag, or just a general delusional nutbag. Shrug your shoulders, read my sig, and go have a Frappucino.

Had something very similar happen to us 4 years back, about a welsh pony we had for sale.
The local well known fruitbat called up about a WEANLING welsh pony we had for sale, for her 3 year old and 9 year old to " learn to ride and handle horses with" A WEANLING!
Weanling was not one we had bred, rather purchased a mare in foal to joe blows stallion ( Fugly stallion) and weanling was the result.
We didn’t like his temperament. Wasn’t suitable for children and took him off the market for some serious behaviour readjustment.
Local Fruitbat became incensed when we refused to sell weanling to her for children and weanling to " grow up and learn together" offered double money ( which she wanted to pay off in $100 installments after she got her tax money back after horse went to their farm) explained that pony would not be sold to her as not suitable for children / didn’t want a lawsuit when idiot got pony and or kids hurt.
She sent 10 + emails a day asking bank details to put deposit, when can she pick Weanling up, changed his name from Salem to Aladin ( must be the crazy clue!) then sent email saying she would be collecting him the next afternoon, and was then called and informed again that pony would not be sold to her. Figured she got the point, until a week later and she turned up one day with horse truck to take him back to her place!!
Sent her packing with warnings of police. She swears she will “get you people for this injustice, and god will smite us”
Over the next week gates mysteriously open and horses are out of their paddocks, could have ended up on the highway so we we lock gates and put horses in back fields away from public view. Figure it’s the idiot kid causing trouble.
All is well and good for a few weeks, until we return from a show, and find pony missing. Gates are closed and he hasn’t escaped.
Search entire property, including ponds, and the neighbours. Neighbour tells us that a yellow horse truck with a fruitbat ladies farm name on it showed up at lunchtime and collected the little brown pony. The “nice lady” had knocked on his door and asked him where the brown pony was, as he wasn’t in the front yards where he should be and she was there to collect him.
Neighbour ever helpful told her the horses had been moved to the back fields.
:mad:
The police found him in the front paddock of her farm.
We got him back and everything was okay. Police thought it was all a joke, and didn’t charge her with horse stealling, saying she was mentally ill and couldn’t help it…:eek:
I just want you to know to be super careful and remove him from view, and let everyone know ( neighbours etc) to call you if anyone is messing with him.
There are some crazies out there![/QUOTE]
Now that is one seriously scarey story!
I think “Hell Spiral” is going on my farm name short-list. Thanks!!
Ask her if her mind went all at once, or if it was a more gradual thing.
I only read the first page of posts, but…
Look on the bright side… there’s the saying something to the effect of horse people are crazy, and if you don’t know any crazy horse people, then look in the mirror. At least you DO know a crazy horse person, so you KNOW it’s not you! :lol:
What a nasty email! Best of luck with everything; I’m sure it will turn out fine, even if she is nuts.
ETA - Went back and read ALL the posts. D’oh! I thought I had a good one!
don’t respond. It’s kind of flattering in a crazy way cause she clearly admires your horse a lot and would love to get hold of him.
I second the idea of putting him in everything pink. That would really send a message the next time she drives by. Maybe she isn’t actually driving by at all though. She might be one of those nuts who never leaves their computer. Messing with you gives her a bit of excitement in her dull life.
I wouldn’t respond. It will only escalate things. Good luck. It’s an unsettling feeling to think that someone is stalking your horse, if indeed she is. It’s a very pathetic person that would do that.
Oh.My.Gawd.
Where’s the rolling on the floor laughing my arse off icon?
Your horse looks “embarrassed” to be wearing pink?
If you have access to it, how about changing everything to purple for a while?
Wow. Just…wow!
:lol::lol::lol: Some great posts! :lol::lol::lol:
fleur: You should (we all should) have great compassion for this lady. Think how empty her life must be if she has time and energy to direct toward so much fretting about your horse, his future, his wardrobe and his emotional well-being, not to mention the time spent composing and emailing her thoughts.
Bless her heart.
I would email her back and say : “Wow, I know you’er not old enough to have kids, but that post was clearly written by a child, so just wanted to let you know you should logoff your email account when the barn kids are around!!”
I would not call or email this wack-job person again. I too would call the police in regards to “cyberstalking” which I believe is a crime now? to get their advice on how to handle - especially if you have received any more emails or calls from her. I would remove Pink clothes for nothing else so horse would be less identifiable from the road; and would move horse any fields close to the road… always better to be safe than sorry. Hopefully that is the end of nutcase… and I loved the post about a few sandwiches short of a lunchbox… :lol:
