Woman Shot at Barisone Farm

@catzndogz22

Some guy whose passion for horses is a little outside the norm.

Or someone pretending to be such as a diversion.

And now Girl Joey.

It’s for her own good.
May you seek help and find some peace.

Oh wow. I didn’t see that.

Girl Joey, I hope you find some help for the deep mental anguish that seems to be overwhelming you.

@TheBlueSaddle

One thing is completely false, I was not LK’s saddle!!! No @#$#$% way!!!

I am very unusual and that made LK want me almost as much as she wanted MB, but I refused to let her even come close. Fortunately for me, I have watched Star Wars Episode IV, V, and VI many, many times (at least 30) and I have perfected the Jedi mind trick. So whenever LK went into the tack room and tried to pick me up, I used it on her and got her to go pick another saddle to put her grubby @$$ into.

Speaking of Star Wars, there are some mistakes in episode IV. When Luke and Han dress up a Stormtroopers and go into that control room, Luke used incorrect grammar when speaking with Han about whether or not Obi-Wan knew Leia was in the Death Star. Han was angry and complaining about Obi-Wan and then Luke said “but he didn’t knew she was here”. He should have said “KNOW” instead of “KNEW”.

LK is obsessed with anything that she thinks is unusual that other people want. So when you think about it, me as the Blue Saddle is not too different from the Tiara. Even though the Tiara with the diamonds in it is more valuable and beautiful than me, it is all about perception and what she thinks other people want. As for the diamonds in the
Tiara, they are round brilliants mostly because that helps to maximize the fire and brilliance of the gemstone. The dimensions of the one in the MB Tiara are not necessarily cut to idea proportions because if the diamond cutter makes the table slightly larger than the diamond will appear larger without sacrificing too much brilliance. Now if they were to go too far and have a very large table then the depth measurement would be off and the diamond would not have as much sparkle as it should. So it is a delicate balancing act. Sometimes too, with diamonds being priced by the carat, there is an advantage in looking for a 0.99 carat vs a 1.0 carat because the price is done by the carat. Also, MB was very smart in what he did because he also chose diamonds that were E through G color which have a warmer tone and cost less, but still have a good sparkle to them. Color that is considered better (i.e. D) sometimes appears cooler. The thing is, to the untrained eye it can be very difficult to tell the difference between D, E, F, and G color. of Course if you have access to a spectrophotometer the test won’t like (unlike LK). So one might as well get G color and save some money. It isn’t good t for for H, I, J, or down to M because the color would be easy to see. The color we’re talking about is yellowish which generally isn’t desireable.

A solid fancy color (rather than a simple tint) can be quite rare and expensive. For example, a 0.5 carat blue diamond can be easily be $50k or more depending on the clarity.

So that is another reason why LK was so obsessed with the tiara and tried all means to try to get it from MB and got mad when she saw MH wearing it. Not only is it a symbol of riding ability, but it is filled with beautiful and expensive gems. Since LK is a grifter (someone who likes to lie, cheat, and steal) she of course wanted to go for any valuable items she could find, like the tiara (with diamonds) and the farm itself.

@eggbutt

Does anyone remember the hysterical posts on the Dressage Forum by Willem and Corrine? Must have been 10 years ago or longer. What a great, great horse and owner!!!

You are too kind 😘 Longer than that - Willem passed in July 2003, and his beautiful follow-up Oliver in June this year (strangling lipoma). We now have Louie, who is just as tall and opinionated as his two darling predecessors ❤️

@eggbutt

There is lots of speculation, none confirmed. LK says “it’s complicated”. Others say it was jealousy on LK’s part because MB was giving MH’s daughter too much attention with her riding, MH was getting more attention than LK, the remodeling/condemnation fiasco, someone not being paid, someone wanting someone else’s boyfriend and couldn’t have them so they decided to destroy them, someone not being as talented a rider as someone else, someone being told they had no future above 3rd level, etc. etc, etc.

As my military daddy would say, it’s FUBAR. Look it up if you don’t know what that means! :yes:

It seems like it probably was a combination of some of the above, and MH may have started to be uncomfortable and then fearful and protective of her children and the horses and could have told MB that LK had to go. (I know this is a generalization, but guys seem to be slower than women in recognizing when something is not quite right and has taken a bad turn.) And as soon as LK was asked to leave, she started her attack on MB. If she truly has a personality disorder as has been speculated, sometimes abandonment can trigger a huge reaction. So being asked to leave would feel scary, insulting, and disrespectful to her. Being back on the farm would be the ultimate big win for her now, and there likely will need to be more retaliation to help her get over what she perceives as a very personal attack against her. People with these disorders seem to fly into a reactive state any time they perceive an attack against them. They can’t just stop and do nothing.

All speculation, of course, I don’t know any of the parties.

[MHM]

How old are MH’s children? Does more than one of them ride?

@iris2006

Best wishes to you Girl Joey.

Ditto.

Best wishes to you Girl Joey.

were all thinking about you, this might be too close for you

[AnotherRound]

Yep, GirlJoey is one desperate lady. Talk about feeding narcissistic supply. She’s walking around looking for LK so she can put herself in her way. As much as she was hurt by her, it’s like she’s feeding off keeping herself freshly damaged. Or something. She will heal when she lets it go. Meanwhile, she’s milking it. Some people need to be victims. She’ll find some peace when she lets go. Meanwhile, I don’t think that’s at all what she wants.

Anyway, that’s my opinion.

I think this is a perceptive thought, although we won’t know until the movie comes out, really. I don’t doubt we won’t get enough details from the press for our liking. I just long to hear Gregory Peck’s opening statement, which would probably sound alot like one or two of the summaries above.

A conversation from Louie some day would not be unwelcome, Coreene. Louie’s young voice about walking in his elder’s steps, and seeing the world from his eyes, would be a joy for us all.

Anyway, that’s my opinion.

I don’t know that she is walking around looking for LK, as it sounds as though she rather stay away from her, but is desperate for justice or for their to be serious consequence for the harm that LK caused to her. I agree that she needs to let go, but I don’t get the impression that she is feeding off of being freshly damaged or milking it. I really don’t think she needs or wants to be a victim. I feel as though she is truly frustrated by the fact that LK conducts herself in such an outrageous manner with little to no consequence for her action.

I do think that she needs to tone it down, but some people have a hard time keeping a lid on it when such emotions are involved. I don’t know that it’s always attention seeking or that they just cannot fully control themselves.

Either way, you’re entitled to your opinion and the above is just my take on it. I think we all agree that she should step away and hope for her to find peace. Seeing someone get away with bullying, crazy behavior, or unlawful acts (I don’t know if this is the case here, I’m just saying) is incredibly frustrating to many people.

@TheBlueSaddle

I’m definitely not LK. I mean come on, my language isn’t even the same as hers.

I hope not because I’ve been enjoying the Blue Saddle Story, lol.

[slainte]

I’m jumping in 156 pages later - but have enjoyed the binge reading the past few nights. Can I get the cliff notes version of the story behind the blue saddle?

@slainte!

That was given on page 152 and 153 and very well summarized.

[Blugal]

The Blue Saddle was from another thread. Easiest thing is to click on their username and then you can see the threads they’ve posted on.

[MsM]

I dont think the origins of the Blue Saddle were there - just the graphic novel version of the goings on at the Farm. I dont remember the thread title that introduced us to the Blue Saddle.

[arbeegirl]

Reading this thread has been a great way to pass the time while sitting at the airport waiting for my delayed flight!

I can’t wait for another entry from Blue Saddle.
