I took a break from COTH because of what I perceived as cliquishness in the forum, and because of the tax that behavior was taking on my mental healthā¦ but I return to say Hallelujah to Michael being released, and an Amen to CH being banned.
I pray that Michael finds solace and healing, that his aggressors get their due, and that everyone can go back to a life before all this nonsense started.
I still canāt believe that anyone would go scorched earth over anything in the horse business, and that even if they did, they would take it this far. It is truly astonishing.
And with that, I go back to my hiatus. Wishing Michael, Lara, and everyone all the best.
This is the best reason for me to contemplate returning to COTHā¦ and thatās AFTER I found out Barisone was freed. (Still staying away, butā¦ Itās about time!!!) Thank you!
Wow. So happy. I think about Michael and Lara and his new freedom and eventually getting back to his horses all the time. I get really pissy thinking about C Hand her stupid insinuations that his relase was only temporary and would be reivewed in three months. [Edit]
Now Thanksgiving has a fabulous place in MBās life with his friends and family.
Can we still talk about the Pleasure of Hate, how NGRI really means a jury found someone guilty, and how Inigo Montoya was one of the smartest people to ever participate on the COTH forums?
I donāt think we have discussed these issues enough. We need to go over it all again.
Perfect timing to read LOās update on Thanksgiving morning. Really helps me to focus on āall the things that we forget to appreciate in our everyday lives until they are snatched away.ā
What a joyous day of thanksgiving this will be for her, MB and all those close to them.
Iāve stuck with this saga from the get-go, even though I donāt know any of them. Never met them. Havenāt ridden a dressage test in years. Yet their story is one of triumph against the greatest of adversities: a cabal of rotten, scheming human beings. Iām glad I was around to see it all come to a happy ending. I wish MB and LO only good fortune going forward in life.
