Interesting; Case is being brought to Court by a Corporation, of which Linda Parelli is a 50% shareholder. A 50% shareholder can force liquidation.

And if they did do this up properly, there may well be some non-competes and NDA’s in the mix. Maybe even involving some of their most advanced students and certified trainers.

Reading through that case, I wonder why her current business partner has two names - Andrew Woods and Paul Flockhart.
I think he has his legal name (Paul) and “public name” or nom de plume, that he publishes under.
None of my social media accounts feature my real name because of my job. If I could, I would work under a false name too. Maybe he’s had experience with fanatics?

So Parelli put some meme up about touching your horse with your heart, and someone commented on how Pat is “such a true gentleman, such integrity”.
I commented that he had some much integrity that he stepped out on two wives…
And got blocked by Parelli!! I can no longer comment or like their posts (but I can share them 
).
Is that a goal achieved or what!

Interesting… out of curiosity, I had a look today to see if Parelli were still selling “Linda-centric” dvds. They are, but the descriptions have all been changed to “… with Parelli”, not “with Linda Parelli”. In one where she is one of four students, three students are named and she is listed as “and others”. Other DVDs featuring guest instructors have not had the instructors’ names scrubbed.
Oh this is interesting!!

First, I want to be clear, Linda does not know I am organizing this fund drive. She is much too proud and beautiful a person but sometimes friends need to intervene in a situation where abuse is occurring. Pat and his cohorts at PNH, Ryan and Tina are trying to starve her out of a 25-year marriage with nothing.
On April 6th, the Florida Parelli ranch sold, Linda’s share was just over $60,000 of which over $40,000 went straight to her mounting legal bills while Pat continues to pay his legal bills from the PNH piggy bank.
Meanwhile Linda found out yesterday that PNH have not paid her credit card bills in several months and it’s now maxed out. (They had been paying it with Linda’s own funds, drawing against a loan Linda gave the company) That is the only card she has and the one she uses for food and personal items!
Sadly, as many women do, she trusted her husband to provide for her, and has little to no funds of her own. Pat is paying her no spousal support and the company have not paid her a paycheck in over four years.
Linda has to move out of the ranch at the end of the month and Pat has provided her no money to find another place. In fact, he told her he had no money, and that’s she should go stay with one of her friends for free.
Over the last few months Pat claimed in one email to Linda that she shared with me, that the PNH company was worth just $25,000, or maybe $100,000 Max. While at the same time he is suing her in Federal court claiming she is “destroying the business” and is trying to stop her earning a living from Happy Horse.
How do you destroy a business that’s only worth $25,000?
While Happy Horse has been a success, the start-up costs of a new business are such that there is not yet much profit and what there is, has been going to fight the Federal lawsuit for the right to stay in business. PNH claim they own the name Happy Horse although they only filed a trade mark application three months after Happy Horse Happy Life launched, and then only out of spite and to gain a bargaining chip in the divorce.
I cannot stand to watch this abuse any longer as they try to starve Linda into submission. That’s why I am asking you to support Linda in her legal defense, so she has the funds to fight this terrible injustice.

Sad. But also eye opening in that here’s one of the most well monetized training programs going with a cult like following. And the money involved when it falls apart is peanuts. Even the land is not worth much (or could have been mortgaged I suppose). $60 000 as a share of selling a ranch? Where I live a basic suburban bungalow is $1.2 million.
I dont doubt hubby is hiding assets and crying he’s poor. But the assets seem to very modest.

And he proved his trustworthiness how? When he left his first wife? With no money? When he lied to Wife #1? Oh yeah he’s the very picture of trustworthy. not.

This is the exact same mentality of the Klassikal freaks who will be doing the Intro/Training olympics forever and think that competitive dressage is abusive and pulling on the reins even once in their lives is a sin.

If I googled it correctly, that ranch is listed for $1.2 million. Is it located in Reddick FL?

So I had to Google it myself, and yes it is Reddick, Marion County.
But this little gem came up on my Google search. It is in relation to attending a course at the Florida centre…

Interestingly enough, the website still promotes courses being available in Florida - at that address - in October 2021. No mention of the ranch being sold - the website still spruicks the beauty of the Florida ranch as a place to go in Winter.
Pat must be so broke, he’s selling a horse for $75,000.
The for-sale advert for said golden beast features lots of pictures… of her eyeballs. Two 90% of her body shots, including a lunging picture.
That’s it. Drop a cool $75k on a horse with unknown conformation and proof of under-saddle behaviour and ability.

Or Pat has done what many before him have done and he’s shifted money and assets around to hide them from Linda and her lawyers. I sincerely doubt the Parellis are squabbling over 10s of thousands of dollars. They may not be millionaires but any idiot can figure out to put someone else’s name on the farm, the car, the saddles, the horses, the trucks, the horse trailers, the whatevers, and claim you’ve got a motor home and a half acre to your name and your evil spouse is trying to rob you. I sincerely doubt someone whose entire life centers around creating and cashing in on fads hasn’t figured out how to make and move $$$$. I mean, the carrot stick sales alone would probably pay off my student loans. 
Just today I was enjoying watching a child support court lawyer going after a parent for quitting a well-paying job to take a lower paying one for the purpose of robbing her partner and her child of child support. (Yes, it was a court tv show. Yes, I hope that judge’s word is law and that parent has to pay what’s owed. What an @$$.)

It makes no difference how much someone earns. As many sports pros and entertainment superstars have demonstrated, if what comes in goes right back out in spending, you end up without wealth.
What such professionals really need are royalty income, preferably for life. Not a mountain of money they can spend away until it is gone.
It is amazing how fast people can spend millions. Money spent, gone, not coming back.

Somebody I tangentially worked with once was in the process of getting a divorce and had the brilliant idea to have all of his paychecks direct deposited onto a walmart blue card so that he could “hide his income”.
Apparently it never occurred to him that the end of the year, the employer would send him a W2 and report same to the IRS.

Yes, exactly. Also I don’t know anyone in my age group who has paid off their house or even condo. My parents were lucky in that they bought pre-inflation in the early 1960s and paid off a 25 year mortgage at a monthly payment that was a stretch in 1965 and a joke by the end (I think it was $200 a month). That doesn’t happen any more. People are more likely to refinance too and live off equity.
So the ranch could be worth $1.2 million but there might not be that much equity in it. Or the “friend” making the appeal is misinformed.
People can be such jerks! Just support your children!

Well, they didn’t have kids, and the wife was a co producer of a major daytime TV show and outearned him by an actual decimal place, but …that doesn’t stop a W2 from existing.
I took it that their students are their children.
