Welcome back! I hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving and still fit in your pants. We have some things to cover today, but hopefully not quite as heavy as the past few entries. Some stuff I have for you is actually kind of amusing depending on your sense of humor. I should probably qualify that by admitting that I laugh at inappropriate things on a regular basis. I figure I’m already going to hell so it’s basically go big or go home at this point. I’ll save some seats for the rest of you. For now, let’s do what we do best which is pulling up a chair, grabbing a cuppa whatever keeps us level and settle in for a dose of the truth.
It seems like ringbone is the diagnosis of the month. Thank God this month is nearly over. It seems that Serena, the bay mare purchased last week was the fourth horse in the truck, diagnosed and executed by Manson, with ringbone being one of the reasons given. The video above shows her walking out to the trailer from auction (2nd horse shown) and she was walking good enough that Manson confused her with the gelding who she did keep alive…for now. She was shot less than 24 hours later. Ace was shot the same day as Serena also due to ringbone and now Daphne is diagnosed with it and looking for `one last good home’. We all know that they basically get one half-hearted post before the bullet, so her days are numbered. I’ve lost count of how many times Manson’s x-ray eyes have diagnosed ringbone lately, but I do know it’s not a death sentence, or at least is shouldn’t be. Horse can be kept comfortable with ringbone and live long lives. I’m not even sure what the point of the `one last good home’ thing is when she brings them back to the feed lot and lets them stand around for a month before being executed. If they were so bad they had to die, then why are they healthy enough to haul and stand around? RIP Serena #sayhername
This next part gets a bit confusing so I’m going to try to break it down as simply as possible. Curly, is one of two horses that belongs to the owners of the property that HiCaliber leases. The other one being Macho. Much to Manson’s displeasure, part of the original lease agreement was that Curly and Macho were to live on the property and be cared for by HiCaliber as part of their lease agreement which has changed to month to month. This meant the horses live there at no cost to their owners for as long as they own the property. The owners of the property rarely go near the place. It was always more than shady that they were on the website as `sanctuary’ horses because that wasn’t really the truth, but Manson has been known to fudge numbers quite a bit. The whole not counting compassion pulls as regular euths being another example. Ok, so that’s these two horses. Now let’s talk about Woody. He was an adoption return back in October that I wrote about on this post To make a long story short, he was too much for his adopter, who is also a long time HiCaliber volunteer. It wasn’t his first time being returned either. I should also mention that Manson has a rule that if you return a horse then you have to wait a year before you can adopt again. It turns out that rule is about as arbitrary as the reasons she shoots horses. She enforced the rule on Taylor so she coulnd’t have Percy, yet she waves it for people like Fice and Woody’s former adopter.
It turns out that Manson has come up with a creative way to double dip. Macho was shipped off as a foster to go hang with Percy, but Curly was recently adopted out even though HiCaliber does not own Curly and the owners did not sign off on the adoption. How Manson is getting around that is that Curly was approved to stay on the ranch. That means Manson is still getting the rent break for having Curly there, but now she has somebody picking up all Curly’s expenses thinking that they own her. Meanwhile, Macho isn’t even on the property, but because he’s technically only in a foster situation, they can whisk him back to the ranch should the owners decide to visit. I wonder why those two, of all horses got in her crosshairs when they are a big reason she has a roof over her head. I especially wonder why when she is currently hoarding at least 8 personal horses at the rescue’s expense and that’s not counting JonASSthan’s hoard, Robyn’s horse, Sarah’s horse and Amanduh’s horse who all live at HiCaliber. I will say that Macho is probably better off where he is at least, but it’s just the complete shadiness of it all that really makes me shake my head. I’m pretty sure that Curly’s real owners are not aware that there is another peson walking around thinking they own her too.
Result of one of Fice’s training sessions
Here is a video of a high AF Andrew Fice working with a mustang being cheered on be his equally fucked up friends. As most will recall, Fice is one of HiCaliber’s trainers and an approved adopter, having kept Dylan and Rojas. He’s also the one who had Saban around the time of his head injury. In the video above we see Fice repeatedly rewarding the mustang for striking at him by removing the pressure every time the horse does so. I can’t say that I really blame the horse. He’s a wild animal that has been stuck in that tiny pen for months and Fice is giving the horse absolutely no exit. They are prey animals and to them, he’s the predator. That’s why people use round pens, because you can allow the horse to still move forward and not feel trapped and then they aren’t likely to get on the fight. Anyway, it seems that this mustang finally had enough of Fice’s shit.
Sadly, the horse didn’t manage to knock any sense in him and he’s actually quite proud of the situation as well as enjoying his morphine. I know others thought it wrong to post his picture and maybe it is. He certainly didn’t post Mercy’s picture when he blinded her in one eye before sending her back to HiCaliber. Now Mercy sits out in the herds waiting for her turn on the death list because we all know how much Manson likes horses with vision problems. Hopefully, this is just the first of many karma visits for Fice until changes his ways or gives up on the cowboy thing.
Remember the little red dun mare that caused so much drama last week? She’s certainly not feeling very rescued at the moment. Even though Manson posted the above pictures for the Monday algorithm bump, the fact was this injury happened last week. Manson’s idea of quarantine is to throw all the horses she bought on the same day into one small pen together. I guess she figures that since they all came from the same auction that they know each other. As a result, this mare was thrown in with the geldings they brought home, including the one that was trying to kick everything at auction. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say this mare got kicked in the face. That wasn’t end of her bad day though. She got to have the 30% vet staple her up, with no opening for drainage and with this bizarre fold in the skin that will likely mean she forever has a skin taggish knot there. It actually looked better before the staples and probably should have been sutured instead. Manson claims a real vet checked her out, but in Mansonspeak that means she likely texted a pic to Dr. Moss and he said `Yup, that needs some sutures’, giving Manson a primo opportunity to put her scrubs on and probably drape her stethoscope around her neck too. What she obviously didn’t bother doing is gloving up before touching the wound and given how many times we see her picking her nose and pawing at her crotch on live feeds, I’m going to go ahead and guess her hands weren’t sanitary. WTF is the point of having an autoclave when you do crap like that?
There really isn’t anything all that earth shattering with the above screen shots other than to show how truly cunty and lazy Manson is. The first one was from earlier in the year when rather than have a talk with somebody, she figured it best to post some of her passive aggressive bullshit. I also found her choice of words, `kill to live here’, kinda chilling and wondered if you have to shoot a horse to get to live at the ranch now. You know, kinda like you have to kill somebody to get to be a Crip or something. The other screen shot is this week, which I found knee slapping funny. As if Manson was cleaning stalls, but it sounded better than to tell people to just go do what she should be doing herself. It must have been hella gross too for her to give up a Starbucks card and single out that one stall.
I’m sure most of you know that this Tuesday is `Giving Tuesday’ where The Gates Foundation match donations on Facebook up until 2 million dollars are given. This meant we were treated to a drunken live feed from Manson where she told us some lies and talked way too much to bump algorithms and remind people to get up early and give a bunch. Because JonASSthan was present, that meant Wrinkles was nowhere to be found as it’s been said that the majority of the HiCaliber crew dislikes him intensely. Anyhow, aside from Manson doing some verbal grifting explaining how she’s going to ask for a lot of money on Facebook, but only because she won’t get it for a few weeks so even though you’ll see a lot of money coming in just ignore that and keep giving because she’s got to be hay and pay 17k, no wait 20k for the permit again. I think we were supposed to forget that she already raised over 9k towards that and told us it was done over a month ago. Just to be clear, they are not approved yet despite what she says. Maybe they finally put an application in. Maybe. Manson also regaled us with the story of how she waxed her snatch yet again but apparently doesn’t know what a Brazilian entails because she claimed to have a landing strip. Judging by the FUPA that Manson constantly has on display, I’m going to say it was probably more akin to the Katy Freeway aka Interstate 10 in Texas. Look it up. I know many of you are dry heaving now, but if I had to hear it, y’all can read about it and share the misery.
Manson’s ring from happier times with Bang Bang Becky
Besides attempting some damage control and telling everybody that she never reads this blog or any of the other anti-HiCaliber pages, Manson proceeded to dispute most of what has ever been posted and throw former friends under the bus. She also finally admitted what most of us have known for a very long time. Bang Bang Becky has become Bye Bye Becky, but they are still `amazing friends’ aka Manson is attempting to keep Bye Bye Becky sweet so she doesn’t turn on her. What everybody, village idiots included, should be wondering is who is now paying for all of Manson’s extras like the Botox she finally admitted to having, the lashes, the hair extensions, the nails, the BMW, and, and and, that she always claimed her `very generous girlfriend’ paid for. Surely Becky isn’t that stupid, especially when Manson has gone dickly and told us she was headed back to Texas in the near future presumably to get laid. Hey Becky? When you come to your senses, come on over to the light. All is forgiven and I promise I won’t tell Manson that you’ve joined the legion of others that finally had enough of her shit. Proud of you for growing a spine!
I kinda debated about posting the pic above, but I think it speaks volumes. The reason the head is blocked off is that it’s a picture of Manson’s 10-year-old (at the time) daughter playing with the same gun Mason uses to kill horses. One of the things Manson told us in her live feed was that she puts a `game face’ on to kill horses so as not to upset them. In other words, the last face they do see her hateful and cold one and it appears her young child is being trained early. A few weeks ago she justified her killing rampage because of the weather getting colder but yesterday she informed us that the `ambient temperatures are pretty cozy’ lately so horses don’t mind standing around with no shelter. She kinda suggested that the horses are happy they aren’t headed to Mexico as if they could grasp a concept like that. Horses are in the moment and the only thing the ones standing on her feed lot know is usually that they are hungry, they have no shade, they are thirsty and that they are bored while getting eaten alive by flies. Does that sound like rescue to anybody? It’s Tuesday again and I’m already feeling sad for the poor souls that will end up in her evil clutches, but you know what? I can’t stop, won’t stop until this stops. Until next time….
Shedrow Confessions 
Michelle, Amanduh and Sarah are live NOW explaining why Michelle had to kill 5 horses today. Michelle wants it to be a “forum” to discuss their euthanasia practices and choices. However, the first person to express concerns about the number shot got the real Michelle to come out and play. So approachable and willing to answer questions… Riiiiight…I don’t think so.
Fuck her. She’s lying and doing damage control. Post the vet certs.
What a joke… That’s one that needs to be save and passed on to the right people. I’d like Dan and Kat to see that plastered all over the place… Hard to look the other way or be in bed with it if it’s everywhere. Didn’t you take an oath? Wait, this is the same entity that’s been accused of moving adoptable animals out of county for euthanasia to keeps their numbers down. Why am I surprised that they are choosing to not do their job.
Anybody know what the check for 7k made out to The county was actually for?
For all the villageidiots dont know the check isn’t signed or deposited.
I simply can’t understand a person who can shoot 5 horses in the head, all in a day. The actual physical destruction of a horse – it’s viscerally appalling to me.
Welcome to the club
They were all laughing and joking during the live feed and then went out to dinner afterwards on the donor dollar.
That just makes me livid. These birds of a feather all have major personality disorders.
Here’s the DSM 5 roll it out and take your pick.

My bad… That’s just the updates to DSM 5 here’s the full deal.

I recently picked up a feral cat off the side of the road who was hit by a car. I took her immediately to the vet to be put to sleep rather than have her suffer. I cried the entire time and I didn’t even know her. I can’t imagine killing 5 animals in one day. I’m tearing up now thinking about it.
So sorry! It’s hard doing something like that.
When I had to euth my big red heart horse 10 years ago, it shattered me. I’d gotten him at the age of 18 (he was, I was a lot younger) and had him 12 years. He was riding sound right to the end, and we had to put him down at the vet clinic at the age of 30 due to colic. It broke me, felt like the center had gone out of my world. That horse had been my center for so long, I joked we’d been together longer than most celebrity marriages. I can’t imagine how a horse’s death couldn’t affect someone profoundly.
But then again, I’m not a vindicative psycho bitch who can blithely stroll down the lineup shooting horses in the face and cry big crocodile tears about how hard it is. It’s beyond fucked up. And anyone who supports that kind of shit coming from the feedlot is fucked up too.
She has no real connection to the horses. She is a thrill killer. It makes her feel good that she kills an animal she sees as worthless in this world. This is also the philosophy of kill shelters. They see dogs and cats coming into their doors as worthless and killable.
Ugh. Clearly she’s someone so disconnected from reality and empathy that she’s a fucked up bitch, and it doesn’t help she has apologists and cult followers.
I know people that support this shitshow. I’m debating if it’s worth it to start the snark on Facebook.
Watching the newest HiKill video. Is it me or does this video make me want to think about Hunger Games except instead of saying “Let the Games Being” it is “Let the Killing Begin”. She claims she will not euth for space but she is euthing for space if she no longer has the money to support the horses. I wonder how many each week are going to get a bullet now? I had a feeling Phantom was not going to be there long. If she had arthritis don’t they know the worst thing you can do for arthritis is to stick the animal in a small space?
She has shot over 15 horses in the last 3 weeks.
That is, on average, almost 2 horses a day. I wish there was a way we could get them shut down quick. I wonder if they are doing it because of having to many horses and the permit stuff combined? Or maybe she is going manic, who knows. Engineer and Strategist have been there over a year, wonder if they are next?
She’s doing it because she enjoys it.
Right? These horses could go to other places. People have said they’ve submitted apps only to be ignored or rejected. Other Rescues have offered to take horses but that makes Michelle look bad when the horses have been rehabilitated and Michelle is proven to be a liar.
New York. City’s shelter system killed dogs and cats even though that animal had an adopter trying to get through – even though pledges had been received for their vet care or “bail” money.
Just in the last month, the director and other underlings have been indicted for intentionally and heartlessly killing animals who had a way out, ignoring their need for vet care and allowing them to live in filth.
The laughing and silliness of the witnesses to the killing is Manson;s edginess. I first heard the crazy social laughing while a black and white paint (I think it was Othello) stood tied to a trailer and Dr Slinky casually walked towards him laughing and joking with Manson. These people are cold and heartless. There is no “happy” in their laughing. Just sick.
I understand it can be everywhere. Sometimes its hard to know what battle to pick. It’s terrible to see and think about.
I can’t understand standing by and laughing about killing these horses. They are mentally unstable. It’s not edgy it’s certifiable.
She claims she even phoned haters to take on Aviana, but strangely my phone never rang nor did anybody else I know get a call. More lies.
FFS!!! 🤢
Satan’s going after HC in comments on hernia-calf-video….Satan vs Manson battle begins soon, surely Manson is still asleep as “lp” is trying to fight Satan single-handedly
LOL @Satan vs. Manson. I can see it on a giant billboard. Thanks for the much needed laugh. I needed it after last night. I cried watching her live video and had nightmares that woke me up. This shit is getting to me hard.
I did too.
lp is Leah Peasley who is basically a festering twat.
Thanks for calling her out!! I always have wondeeed about the good ole lp!!!
I should add that she lives in Northern California so her main contribution IS being a festering twat online.
Shedrow
Do you have an accurate account of the number of horses executed by HiKill so far this year?
Yes. It will all be done up to share at the end of the year.
Would like to know that also, poor Shed.
“We hate that we have to do the dirty work, but we are also grateful we’ve got the bravery, heart and your support to ensure these animals do not suffer.” HC quote
Manson is trying to have it both ways. She complains about the broken horses being brought to her but she’s the one that has gone looking for horses she can take back and shoot. They are making a profit on lies, scams and animal abuse. Manson stated that it’s best for donations to be made without indicating a specific horse so they can use the money anywhere. I’m sure it is, their personal horses are hungry, need shoes, worming, supplements etc and most of the ranch residents don’t have a job.
HC has become a scam to fund a lifestyle Manson thinks she’s entitled to. If it was about the horses, Manson could easily work with her AC buddies to stop the abuse before it happens by going after the assholes she’s currently protecting.
I really enjoyed how Michelle referred to Shed(the blog) and other haters as radical activists. Shed being a radical activists is just about a likely as Michelle being the happy, magical, rainbow ice cream shitting unicorn.
Oh and by the way, maybe Aviana wouldn’t have still been so hard to handle after a year of you actually handled her besides for her trims. Just a thought. It isn’t the severe founder cases that infuriate everyone, it is the horses like Aviana that are tossed out to pasture and expected to learn how to be a good equine citizen all by themselves. You don’t want to spend the money on the sedative. Well then, work with the fucking horse for fucks sake. Every day, every fucking day.. like you care and want her to succeed. “We put up ads and no one took her”. Fuck you. You “rescued” her, now put in the goddamn work and actual rescuing for once in your fucking life. Teach her and learn from her.
And when did Amanduh and Sarsnatch become the euthanasia authorities. I thought the euthanasias were all vet recommended or voted on by the board of directors. Tomorrow it will change again. Why don’t we just do a Facebook questionnaire or hell do one of those derby fundraisers like you did for Magnum. Whomever the Vilidiots pay the most for, gets shot! What will the euthanasia guidelines be tomorrow?
How was anybody supposed to adopt Avianna when she told everybody she was adopted and went to a sanctuary?
This is my question. The last I saw she was “Adopted”. Several people did try to step up for her back when we thought she was available. Michelle claims she e-mailed some “haters” offering her to them and no one responded. Did anyone get an e-mail??
Nope!
That was my first thought listening to Sarah say that her and Amanduh decided it was time for that horse to be euthanized. Who the fuck are they? They are not vets. They are not the board who supposedly votes on these things. Nobody there can keep their damn lies straight.
Most of the board has walked out on her yet again. I’m sure Manson will appoint the pair of them soon enough.
I’m not a radical activist. I am someone who detests fraud, and the subpar care of rescues paid for with donor funds by people who lie. The rescues I support are completely accountable and transparent, and will gladly answer any questions, as well as posting receipts. You know why? Because if you’re telling the truth, it is easy. It is remembering lies that is difficult.
Oh, did I mention fraud?
I am with you on this one!!
Over the past week or so they have named animals they fully intentioned to shoot after people they have grudges with; Marek, Cook and Kimber (supposedly the name of lady Romney’s ex Darryl is now with). She tried to be “transparent” in her video but yelled at anyone that dared question the reasons why 5 horses and a steer with fixable hernia were shot. One lady with experience with cattle called her out about the steer and the village got really nasty with her simply because she told them the truth! There was one VI said on life feed, “No offense M but nobody is going to adopt a 25 y/o horse. Over 18 is questionable. Give them love and food and let them go.”
Just.. What The FUCK y’all?? 😢
The only thing transparent about Manson is the fact that we can see right through her lies. Oh and then her tearful part where she said her life has been threatened and she has accepted she may die because of all this. Fuck off with that. I don’t believe a word she says. I believe people have wished her dead but that’s not even remotely the same as threatening her life. I actually hope she lives a very long life and that she suffers every single day of the rest of it for all the pain and suffering she has caused.
She just gets bolder and bolder. It makes me wonder how bad she might get and how many horses will have to die before someone says enough and intervenes. She seems to think because no one has stopped her yet so she will continue to come up with half added reasons to shoot more horses while saying out of one side of her mouth they “dont euth for space” and they “don’t have the money to care for all these horses” out of the other. They have accumulated so many horses now thar they cannot FEED them all without the money from auction so she’s stuck in this vicious cycle of accumulating 5-10 new ones each week and her so called solution is to go on a killing spree. She’s turned shooting horses in a damn game that she makes extra fun by naming her victims after her “enemies”. This is the most irresponsible, heartless shit I’ve ever witnessed a rescue do. This situation is steadily escalating and the really alarming part is she is loving every minute of it. She enjoys the praise and attention she gets from her supporters when she plays the bleeding heart on camera but let one of them question anything at all and she morphs into this yelling, cussing, verbally abusive bitch and sends out loyal minions to attack them.
Manson is starting to get out of hand and her mindset is bordering on dangerous. She’s always been belligerent about how she shoots the horses but now that things are getting tense and she’s loosing ground Michelle appears to be getting worse. I truly hate to think what will happen if she snaps. People need to stand clear.
Many of us kinda thought she would escalate as the walls closed in. It’s tough as hell to watch, but the end is in sight. This little video of hers has backfired badly for her.
It is really tough to watch. It pisses me off and makes me sick. I hope they move quietly and quickly maybe if she’s caught off guard the collateral damage will be a bare minimum.
It was the calf with the hernia that triggered Satan, unbelievably. When Satan is calling you out, you’ve got to know you’ve reached the lowest low.
Who’s going to adopt an old horse? I just can’t at that fucking stupidity. Horses may not be people but they still are living thinking creatures with their own feelings and personalities. Go look that horse in the eye and see for yourself if it’s ready to die then get dumped in a landfill.
I would happily adopt an oldie, I have a soft spot for them. Michelle on the other hand, has no heart or soul. She doesn’t give a shit about those horses, young or old. Once she scams every cent she can for their “care”, they have no use for her. It’s fucking sick. I’m sure she has no problem looking them in the eye as she shoots them. Probably smirking when she does it too. Sick twisted bitch.
Well, now the village idiot who originally made that comment can figure out that oldies have value for true horse people. She’s also laid on the line her personal sediments and it shows what type of a person she is.
That lady is a moron. I adopted a 22 year old from HiCaliber back when I was stll in their good graces. His pasterns are dropped so all he does these days is hang out sunbathing or under a pine tree with my mare, eat lots of hay and get hugs from my 3 year old.

#Michellerodehimandhe’s14.2onagooddayandarthriticwithdroppedpasternsIhateher
Good homes are out there, but it would require HiCaliber putting aside their pride, and actually working with these horses a few hours a day to give them a chance.
Your story made my day. 😀 Thanks I needed some feel good.
E Lynn, thank you. So thankful he’s got the life he deserves now. I teared up in a good way. 🙂
If I’m looking for a horse to teach my kid how to ride on, it definitely is going to be older. Sorry, I’m playing it safe and looking for that oldie that just wants to poke around.
The naming the horses after people really gets to me. But sure, keep doing it Manson because the more you do the easier it is to prove your little “subtle” threats. It becomes less of a coincidence each time.
And that poor steer. Goddamnit do they not understand anything about hernias? That was completely fixable. Just takes time and money. But they don’t like to waste either.
Had Enough, your comment here is SPOT ON.
I went back to rewatch a part of the video and she seems to be quite clearly saying they will be euthing for space now. I fear this about to get REAL ugly.. oh and according to their various posts they’ve raked in about $10k just on Wednesday!
I half assed listened to the live feed. I shut it off after hearing her tell a villager, who asked about Becky, that Becky is enjoying a well deserved vacation. Just a few days ago she said Becky was gone but they are still good friends. Not only does she not remember what she says, but the villagers ignore the lies and changing stories.
Can’t or won’t the villagers see the flipping between the sincere, caring, transparent persona to the raging bitch and back again? I saw the check photo proving that she paid for the permit. Yep, that’s proof for the village. My first thought was I can take a check and write any amount I want on it, take a picture and brag about how much I spent on something, then shred the check. A photo of a check proves nothing without the back endorsed and showing it’s been deposited in the payees account.
The proof will be posted on the County web sight. Am sure there will be some VI that will refuse to believe a local government sight and claim the haters made the whole thin up and the web sight is a scam.
^^thing
According to the County website they have paid $170 and change in fees.
I am surprised why???
I think its time the police get out there and take the gun away from that lunatic. Holy shit they are a crazy group. Physically make me sick.
I haven’t watched the video. Just reading all this is making me ill.
My honest question: If we do get Hical shut down, or at minimum forced to reduce headcount by law, will she do the right thing and allow others to help? Or is she going to pull a Jim Jones, and have the horses all drink the koolaid? Her track record shows she has made the call to Euth before adopting to “haters”. So what would stop her then?
Hopefully handcuffs and an orange jumpsuit might stop her.
If she is naming animals after people she hates and than shoots them, whose to say she won’t turn the gun on a person during one of her rages? People tend to do very bad things…
thrill killing animals is how most mass murderers got their start.
She also said in the video, yet again, that she is certified to euthanize animals, so has anyone seen the so called certificate or some kind of proof? Also double s kill pen is upset with hikill, I realize that she isn’t much either however it does speak volumes that someone like Tara is appalled by hikills behavior
Little miss Tara has no room to talk. They regularly let horses starve to death and when they go down and can’t get up they don’t shoot them.. They use the bucket on the tractor to dump them in a spot on the property behind the pens. Unless these poor souls pass before they get a chance to dump them they are Still Alive when they do this!
As I said in my original comment, but thanks for clarifying my comment
I wasn’t trying to clarify or correct your comment, sorry if it came across that way. I just wanted to show just how sick she is in her own right.
Which makes it even worse that a monster like Satan is appalled by Manson’s behavior.
It is very scary with the whole evil vs evil….
Maybe they’ll cancel each other out. If not, my money is on Satan.
Me too! She’s a scraper!
There is no certification for that. Nothing that means anything to the CVMB anyways. She took some course or class so she could be considered “certified” to euth as an ACO, but it only pertains to being any sort of accreditation while she was an ACO. As a private citizen you can get an Associates Degree as a vet assistant through a technical school, go through schooling/internship/work experience/pass the CA board test + the National board test to become a Registered Veterinary Technician, or go the whole 9 yards and become a vet. She is full of bullshit.
If I remember right, in one of the past posts it’s shown she is only licensed to carry a baton.
Rats and sinking ships. I think Tera’s trying to not be implicated with any HC shenanigans when things go south.
Founderitis. At the bare minimum, Michelle definitely has Founderitis.
As another rescue founder, some days I want so bad to reach out and try to talk to her and discuss things. Like last night … every time she said “as the founder, I get to change things” or “as the founder, I have to make the tough calls” I wanted to say uh nooo.
The new euthanasia policy? She doesn’t just get to do that as ED or Founder. The Board of Directors has to vote and approve policy changes. Written policies are important – they govern the entire rescue and tell the ED how to do their job. As founder, with a board that isn’t quite as active as I’d like yet, I can write the policy but I have to present it to the Board and they get to make suggestions and changes, and have final say on what the policy ultimately says. They have to vote and their votes have to be recorded.
We have a written euthanasia policy. If I decided today, like Michelle, that any horse that was not adopted within a year and had a medical condition that makes them highly unadoptable will be euthanized, I’d have to write an amendment to our current euthanasia policy, present it to the board, and let them debate and vote. Only then does it become policy.
And even then, you can bet I wouldn’t keep it as vague as that. I’d have some conditions in place (requires more then $xxx per month to maintain or whatever).
I know it doesn’t appear HiCaliber has a functioning Board of Directors, but man, it kills me to see her running rampant. An organization with that large of a budget should not be subject to Founderitis.
Non-profit governance is not something to take lightly, and it kills me how many animal rescues play so loose with them.
Exactly!!! I have posted this before and wish those that blindly follow HC would take the time to read and stop and think!!

Never see a post or proof of the actual funds collected. What happened to the $8,775 in the YouCaring fund? What was that spent on? How much was donated to other PayPal accounts toward their permits? And it goes on and on…….. Thieves will continue to steal until they are caught.
I used to donate but not any more! Feel bad now wasting that money that could have gone to a Reputible rescue or Charity.
Wake the hell up!!
HC’s great friend Satan has now turned on them…
Satan’s FB post:
“they bought a calf to shoot knowing damn well someone else could have given him time and a life span, and had his carcass for a viable resource. Dumb as f**k and if you support that then you are in the wrong group here”
I’m wondering why Tara feels the need too speak out against HC. It’s not like she gives a shit about the calf. I bet there is more to the story.
She (Tara) mentioned the LA “thoroughbreds” a couple of times. I’m almost wondering if Tara was expecting more positive press and success stories from those horses and is pissed that HiCaliber let them just fade into obscurity and neglect, like 99% of what they bring home. Just speculating here but I think that would chap my ass pretty hard if I were Satan.
Satan said way back when this all started that if Manson started shooting those LA horses she’d have a problem with it. Funny that Manson has already shot a few of them but it took a calf to motivate her though
You may be right, In Too Deep. Has to be something behind that. They should have never gotten involved in that LA mess (cleaned that up). More lies and deception and a BIG money maker.
Tara is pissed about the OTTB 20. It was in a comment that I saw. She is pissed because “Their issues were mistreated and then they were shot”. Folks be prepared because this may be the cannon blast we needed. A few villagers are also commenting on their displeasure and one of them brought up the fact that they have lost a grant and were kicked out of the Homes For Horses Coalition. This is going to get good….
I see all of Tara’s comments have been deleted from the calf video. HC doing damage control.
Of course they have. HC has them up plus Tara’s video. She did not have nice things to say about Baker either. Too bad she missed Romney’s part in all that OTTB20 fiasco. If Tara gas more info, she can prove, hope she posts it. Should be a lot of info and complaints going to the AG this week!
Meant HG page

Interesting read on San Diego County Watershed Protection Program.

I just can’t see them getting all that done.. and the thing is even if they do All the work the county could still deny their permit if enough local people and neighbors come have their say during the public hearing/comment portion.
Local residents could have a big impact if they rallied together. I sure wouldn’t want property near that Ranch for a number of reasons.
And more reading material. Note Sectio 12 (c) for one. How have they ever been in compliance at all per these Codes??

Naming horses after enemies before shooting them, dropping off Fireball bottles on properties and mailboxes of people she has openly disparaged, and offering to give out the names and addresses of people she believes write this blog to others threatening physical violence and harassment can be considered overt threats.
Her mental stability is being questioned because it is deteriorating rapidly as she is being asked to account for lies, and will deteriorate further as the pressure is applied. Expect more killing, more threats, and more behavioral issues, because it will get worse before it gets better.
She forgets that these horses are not hers. She purchased them with donor funds, and her entire lifestyle is being funded by donors and as such, she IS accountable to the public.
Someone shared a video of Tara going off about HiKill on the horror girls facebook page. Classic…..
Yes, I’m thinking of uploading it to my youtube account so you can all enjoy it.
Please do!!!!
Ok, so I watched the 5 horse killing spree video. So she is teaching the “girl’s” her killing technic. Also says she won’t keep horses on the feedlot for as long as she has been because nobody wants them. She also wants the room to bring more auction horses home to shoot. You got to give it to her she always coming up with ways to line those pockets. She doesn’t shoot for space though. Ok sure thing Manson. On that note I was just thinking regarding the permit, maybe the reason she didn’t apply for the larger permit is she going to go on a shooting spree and keep her number somewhere around 100. I have heard this many times on this blog but it’s true how she will never own up to her mistakes. Nothing is ever her fault. So now in true Manson fashion it’s the haters fault she is not able to bring in the money needed to care for the horses. We have cut into her raking in the big bucks. So there you go haters now she can’t properly care for the horses. Hope’s we are happy cause it all backfired in are faces. Blaming others once again because we made her have to shoot all those horses.
Now your even lieing to yourself Manson. You held the gun and you pulled the trigger. Let’s just keep the blame where it belongs, shall we Manson. My God even Tara hates you now. I don’t think you could stoop much lower if you tried. I think if even Tara aka slaughter queen hates you that really says something. Might be time to reassess your rescue plight.
Manson is definitely going on a killing spree. In the video regarding euthanasias, she said she’s no longer going to “stockpile lame horses, while waiting for adopters” and that HC will be the last home for horses who have been there for over a year with no adoption offers. She talks about how stupid it is to keep a horse like Major, who is 25 with navicular and cost them a lot of money each month, when he has no chance of being adopted. Seriously? Isn’t it more stupid to keep bringing in the most damaged horses she can drum up from Misner and Salvador to bilk the village of money, just to shoot them under the gise of “rescue”, when they could instead focus on the herd they already have a responsibility to? And of course it’s all the haters fault cause donations are down. She’s such a psycho.
I have yet to watch that video. It just gets emotionally draining on so many levels. So buying all these “compassion pulls” at auction is rescue? Must be proving to be pretty profitable for her and her “friends” have found an easy mark to dump horses and make money. Feel bad for these animals? Yes. Seems like they are just becoming a killing field. Get horses that have a chance at a better life. Get them the care they need. Give them the daily individual attention they need and get them new homes. Get down in numbers you can afford and manage! This will not stop as long as people keep enabling her! I am going to check and see what rescues are having $5 Friday’s! Hope others will too.
I never go to their page to watch the videos only when they are mentioned here. Then I turn them on put my phone in my pocket and clean stalls or listen when I am in traffic and whole time I am talking back to her because as we all know if her lips are moving she’s lieing. That way I never have to look at her.
I watched Michele bragging about the visit fromAC
