Ok, I’ve been sipping some wine catching up on the latest posts here… I think it could make a fascinating thread in “off topic” - what has been your most bsc experience in your horsey journey? I might just start that tomorrow while I’m sipping my coffee, trying to wake up, lol.

A friend of mine rode in a clinic with MB last spring. She is an experienced, beautiful (referring to her riding, not her looks, but it applies to both), AA rider, competing FEI. She brought her horse up the levels herself with lots of lessons and clinics along the way. She said that her lesson(s) with MB was “one of the best, if not THE best” lesson of her life. She posted a few minutes of her lesson on FB showing an obvious “aha!” moment riding changes. MB has long been on my shortlist of BNT’s I would like to clinic with. Looks like that’s not gonna happen any time soon.

I grew up riding in the Chicago 'burbs in the 70’s. The local HJ BNT/BO went to prison for both murder and arson. Closer to my immediate neighborhood was Oak Brook Stables which was, allegedly, the last place the Brach heiress was seen alive.
More recently, I had a BO who would walk barefoot through the barn in a bikini. (There was an HOA pool next to the barn.) Occasionally, she would “faint” in the barn aisle. One evening she climbed a tree in her nightgown and got stuck. One of the trainers called the FD. When they got there, she pointed the firemen in the direction of the tree and warned them, “Um, she might not be wearing underwear.”

Here is the latest news - LK files suit against 10 people:
This theory does seem VERY possible. I can’t imagine NOT immediately confronting someone who called CPS on you, especially if the claim is false.

I just caught up on this BSC thread, and after all of the echo chambering and psychoanalyzing, I still feel that my original conclusion still stands, at least in the eyes of the law (clearly not in the eyes of the many COTHers liking certain posts): I don’t care how BSC she is… unless we learn she came at him with a pitchfork, the only one responsible for this is him. Crazy how many here don’t seem to believe that.

Not surprised she is suing, but up to 10 possible owners of the gun??? Sounds like she is offering to sue just about anyone who was on the farm. One more layer to this crazy story!

Catzndogz22 My trainer used to tell the most hair raising stories about working for that BNT in Chicago in the 70’s. He always felt he was lucky to get out of there alive.

When I was riding in Oak Brook, the BO was hiding in Canada in relation to the Helen Brach disappearance. He had also been a swim coach at the local high school, but abruptly resigned due to allegations of having a fling with one of the girls on the swim team.

Do we not already have enough craziness on this thread? Could someone please start a separate thread for stories of other crazy people in the horse world?

Yet another journalist felt the need to describe the farm as “sprawling.” The article said MB’s next court appearance will be on November 4th.

I agree. BunnyHugger suggested that (s)he might do that tomorrow. In the meantime, crazy horse people stories are MUCH more interesting/entertaining than the incessant sniping that has been going on for the past ___ pages.

It’s interesting it was this “breaking news” that brought her out of the shadows rather than the NYT puff piece. I guess she wanted to see what people thought about filing frivolous suits against so many people.

@eggbutt And… an arrest was made today. Gun owner charged (as I said she would be months ago, right on this forum) as well as named directly in the civil complaint. The complaint, which you are clearly misreading, lists at least 10 other people for reasons you will just have to wait for.
You also mentioned in your earlier comments, I was “kicked out of at least 3 barns & harassed people,” etc. Claiming you know me so well, I’d assume you have evidence of this? Please. Share with the class. I’ve been at the same barn for the entire 4/5 years I’ve lived in NC & have been “kicked out,” of zero barns. You realize the cops have my iPhone… which include ALL conversations - text, pm & dm right? Unlike my adversaries - I shared my passcode willing. Your spreading of lies & rumors has been well documented. Ok then. Bye now!

Thank you, Lauren, for your brief visit. There is plenty of testimony and evidence being gathered over several states as you well know. It’s sad to see very little has changed with you.

So if the gun owner was known, how can you possibly sue 10 other people as possible gun owners?
And are you going to change your profile since you don’t have your bronze?

Oh, it wasn’t the civil suit that is the “breaking news.” I actually didn’t realize that part made news. Seems unimportant. Especially, when much more pressing actions were taken today. You seem to have a personal grudge. That’s a bad look. I don’t, so I won’t name you here. This is the only lawsuit I have ever filed. It took being shot multiple times to take that action. We’re all done here.
