Forgive me for not posting sooner. Things were quiet so I took the weekend off and, sure as hell, everything broke loose. Isn’t that always the way? For whatever reason people keep asking me what I think about things so I guess I’ll address that. I’ve got some other things to share as well and, as usual, have left this too long so it’s a big post and clip heavy too. I expect there will be some outrage in some corners over this and I’m pretty sure I won’t care. Let’s just say whether you’re into drama or averse there will be a little something for everybody in here. With that being said, it’s time to pull up a seat and put our tinfoil beanies on just on the off chance that fuckery is contagious. It seems to have reached epidemic proportions within the village this past week or so.
As everybody is aware, this past weekend saw the dramatic announcement that HiCaliber is shutting down. As with most things that has to do with Manson, nothing is ever quite what it seems though. Because of this, I’m going to break this down into bite sized chunks because if you can pick through her self-serving and maudlin creative writing, the bullshit is quite thick. She begins this post setting the stage for it being all about herself and how none of this is her fault. Right away she lies by saying her pride will never outweigh her loyalty to the horses? WHAT loyalty? The loyalty that causes you to allow them to stand in their own filth in crowded conditions? The loyalty that allows you to experiment on them like the equine version of Dr. Mengele? The loyalty that allows you to look them in the eye and shoot them in the face because of your own shortcomings? REALLY?
Going back even a few years ago there were red flags and several people voiced concerned that the HiCaliber nickel and dime, small stream income strategy was not sustainable. Of course any time those concerns were addressed with them, the standard reply was `Eat a dick’. It was a further concern when it became apparent that the rescue was supporting several able-bodied adults that simply refused to have jobs or even do much work around the rescue to earn their keep. Originally the plan had been for the human residents to support the rescue through rent fees and chores; something that never quite came to fruition. What ended up happening was that everybody got to live for free off the donor dollar with paid help to feed the all the horses for them including their own personal ones. So, while Manson claims to be shutting down and pleads to help keep the horses fed, realize that includes her own personal horses along with the other personal horses on that property.
FFS Manson needs to get off the cross because I’m pretty sure somebody else needs the wood. Seriously. I’m so sick of these bitches playing the `kid’ card. Manson is very worried about her kids losing people they love but that didn’t seem to be a big concern of hers in her custody hearing and I won’t even go there with the daughter. She wasn’t really concerned about the example it set for her kids to have them on the Shane Dawson show and bad mouth the son’s father. Now she want us to believe that she was just joining in on the game others were playing? Bitch, please…Keep your prayers for yourself because you need them most of all.
Now we reach the deeply delusional part of this post. Does anybody believe for a single second that there has been a credible threat against Manson? Wishing bad things happen to somebody isn’t the same as making a threat. I think what’s important to remember here is that in her own mind, Manson is a celebrity so she’s built this whole dramatic scenario up in her head for village idiot consumption. Danger! Drama! Threats! Friday cliff hangers for their interactive soap opera! I can only speak for myself but not only have I not paid anybody for information, I’ve never even solicited it so the whole `sold their story’ thing is as laughable as her eyebrows. The `sweet couple’ Manson describes wouldn’t have even known who she was if she hadn’t told them and then spent the majority of the flight discussing her `fame’ when she wasn’t discussing vaginas. The only reason they knew about this blog is because Manson showed it to them and it must have resonated with them or I wouldn’t have gotten the deets about their awkward encounter with La Manson.
I actually feel sorry for Manson if this is her life’s work and she thinks it’s something to be proud of and hang her reputation on. Not many people aspire to be remembered as a horse hoarding, abusing, gunsel that gets off on shooting viable animals. I’m guessing that’s the reputation she’s referring to because the only other rep she had was as a liar and a swindler. If she doesn’t recognize herself perhaps she needs to lay off the back alley cosmetic procedures. If she has trouble recognizing somebody who lives to hurt others I suggest she looks in the mirror and remembers every employer she called, every confidence she broke when somebody tried to leave her and that’s not counting all the animals she betrayed.
The pity party rages on…The ASPCA and HSUS endorse good animal husbandry. Period. Speaking out and telling the truth is not a smear campaign. It is worth mentioning that all the issues with the unnecessary euthanasias, the practicing veterinary medicine without a license, the substandard conditions and hoarding were all initially addressed with HiCaliber. Insiders, former board members, and advocates all, at one time or another, attempted to address this with Manson directly and at any point, she could have turned this around. Rather than accepting advice from those with more experience, Manson went harder the other direction because she is nobody’s bitch and the animals paid the price. Damn straight people comment when they find her trying to accumulate more animals to drag back to the ranch to suffer horrible deaths. It’s not hate because people recognize that things were getting so far out of control we were looking at a situation that was going to be far more horrific than Fallen or Starlight ever thought of being. Believe it or not, there are many of us that have been at this far longer than Manson and we can see a train wreck coming miles away. Does anybody think Fallen and these other places started off like they ended up?
If Manson wasn’t broke as a joke, I think I’d sue her for a new laptop because I spewed water all over my screen when I read about the whole raising the bar thing. I’m wondering if she even believes the craps she writes. I can’t figure out what bar she has raised? For euthanasia percentages? For sure. For standard of care? Not in a million years. Manson indicates `all’ investigations have proven that they aren’t doing anything wrong? Why is it that their original PayPal accounts are still frozen? Why is it that they are no longer allowed to film in the chutes at Ontario? Who brings a criminal defense attorney to auction? What about those audits? No, they are cleared of nothing, they just haven’t been formally charged yet. As far as the rules of rescue, the only hard and fast one is that you are a good steward of the animals you take in and yes, if you can’t abide by that you need to go. Manson needs to go. The only horses she will be welcome to devote her life to is Breyers because she will never be welcome in the horse community.
Here we get to the grift. After all this creative prose designed to draw in the reader, Manson admits she is going to keep their non-profit status. If you haven’t noticed her setting herself up for the next phase of her career you might be blind. The constant talk about compassion pulls. The propaganda video she had the San Diego UT produce for her (euth video ), the protecting of known trippers and abusers all point towards the new direction for the 501c3. It’s also blatantly obvious that Manson gets off on killing horses so what better career for her than to make a living doing just that? You know the old adage about doing what you love and figuring out how to get paid for it…
Manson’s track record for paying off her debts isn’t great hence the foreclosure, bankruptcy, unpaid vet bills, stud fees etc. If I was one of their vendors, I’d be worried. However, like the good grifter she is Manson shifts the responsibility of keeping the hoard and personal horses fed onto the very tapped out village idiots and drops the none too subtle hint that one of them step up and buy the property. Naturally the community of grifters would like to stay together and continue to not work for a living. It wouldn’t be accurate to call it a commune because that would imply that they all pitch in and work for the good of the community. Maybe coven is a more accurate term for what they are proposing as I’m sure organs and body parts of sacrificed animals will be involved.
Now we reach the Academy Award portion of this post where Manson thanks all those that enabled this shit show for so long including `the best team she’s every had’.
What strikes me about Manson’s BFFs and support system is none of them seem to have been in her life more than 5 years. That speaks volumes to me as pretty much everybody I know has some `lifers’ in the friend department. I think that speaks volumes about what passes for loyalty in Manson’s world. Then you have her thanking the body pick up man which should probably be the other way around considering how much business they give him. They’ve probably put his kids through college.
Taking a page out of the manipulators handbook, Manson serves up a classic shit sandwich to her village. Soften them up with flattery and faux vulnerability, ask for money and then praise again. She really is a specimen.
Presuming I’m a `mean girl’ I can guarantee there is a less than zero percent chance I will ever find myself in Manson’s Yankee doodle dandy shit kickers or anything else she wears on her hooves. I’m also reasonably certain I don’t need somebody like her lecturing me on empathy and compassion or relationships. Her `bad backyard program’ caused more suffering and mutilation of horses than almost anything else she did as she protected and covered for the very people who abused and broke down those horses. The very horses she shot in the face without even a kind hand as they were nothing more than income for her. I hope children are watching so they learn how to stand up to a bully and that what is good and right will ALWAYS win out. I will say the one thing Manson did do is unify the real rescue community and they will be stronger as a result. The horses of Southern California are in very good hands once they no longer face the risk of being exploited at the HiCaliber feed lot.
There has never been a need to send Manson screen shots of everything. She reads all the hater sites, all the time. Constantly. I hope she means it about adopting out the horses but I remain skeptical. I’m also not sure what constitutes a `more affordable’ option for a bunch of people who have no jobs. Now that we’ve got that out of the way let’s wrap up some things we talked about in the last post.
One of the first rules of Mole Club is always have more than one mole. In fact, have more than two if you can swing it because sometimes you have to make one into a sacrificial lamb to foster security. Thank you to the people who emailed me out of concern for the outing of the mole. Y’all are some great readers. In an effort to plug the holes in his secret groups, Pasterfuck decided to make all the participants sign a Non Disclosure Agreement. I suspect Angrid may have helped with this as she did with Marg’s epic blackmail letter we talked about last week. I’d like to remind you that these are all grown adults in a Facebook group that have dedicated their time to bullying people into silence and now they want NDAs so nobody tells on the kind of plotting and shit talking they do when they think nobody can see.
Here we have the usual suspects shit talking Izabelle K once again. You will recall the last post showed them talking smack about her due to her lack of filter. This series of screen shots show them all getting pissed off yet again that Izzy spilled the beans about a plan to transfer 20 horses out of state. As far as I know Izzy is still a staunch supporter and completely oblivious what they say about her behind closed doors.
Oops, did I forget to mention that part of the initiation ritual to get into Pasterfuck’s super secret forum was to post their driver’s licenses? Yeah, that was a thing and it was absolutely astonishing not only how many of them did it, but how many didn’t bother to blank out their DL numbers and addresses. They just put it all out there and it was anything but secure. Because I actually have some sympathy for true idiots, I removed their numbers and addresses because those are not important. I think what is important is how many of them are from out of state and far enough away that it’s obvious they have never been near HiCaliber. I also find it telling that even though PF and Mags asked them for their very personal information, they didn’t provide their own DLs nor did they protect the info they gathered. Let this be a lesson to everybody. There is no such thing as a truly secret group and if you put it on the internet you can expect it to become public eventually. Don’t worry, I didn’t keep any of their addresses so they won’t be on my Christmas card list.
Speaking of secret groups and nothing ever really being private, it’s time to hop over to some HiCaliber bat caves. A month or two ago, before she made a big show of deleting her Facebook, Angrid was witch hunting in their private forums and targeting some of the more vocal anti-Hicaliber people. She also targeted Jennifer Marek as she always does. It seems she thought my YouTube account was Jen’s. It’s not but we’ve been round and round that issue before. What is interesting is that videos from Jen’s personal account started showing up on these pages. Funny how that happens. You know what else is funny? It’s super funny when somebody that likes to act like she’s smarter than everybody else outs herself as the proprietress as one of the pages that aggressively targets anybody that dares speak out against HiCaliber.
Here we have Angrid in the secret HiCal admin group announcing that she is, in fact, Baby Horror. To be honest, this wasn’t a big revelation to me. I’ve known for quite some time, but these screen shots came to me recently and they are really amusing, including the one where Angrid shows the owner panel of Baby Horror and begs for likes. Baby Horror was dormant for a while but was recently brought back to life right around the time Angrid deleted her personal Facebook account and said it was because of the Cambridge Analytica scandal. The only problem with that excuse was that Angrid deleted her Facebook before that stuff came to light, so it appears that wasn’t really the reason. As funny as it is to out people for their own hypocrisy and immaturity, the personal details that were posted on Baby Horror give me pause for concern given Angrid’s job and the information she potentially has access to. I also find it somewhat telling how often Baby Horror is online during the regular work day. I apologize in advance to whomever Angrid decides I am after this gets out because I’m sure you’re next up for the spotlight. Let’s move on from all this fuckery, shall we?
It’s really no surprise that the permit process is in limbo. Manson even apologized to the village idiots for wasting their money and explained they weren’t moving forward with it now that they are closing. The problem is that HiCaliber is in arrears over $1300 for what has already been done with that permit. Between what HiCaliber raised and what Tracy Acres donated, and that’s not taking into account what they brought in via PayPal, they should have had more than enough money to cover those costs. Obviously it was not all put in the trust account for the permit. In fact, they only put $7000 in the trust account so the exact amount owing is $1332.60. HiCaliber’s youcaring is still open and getting the odd donation. I find it amusing that they were threatening to close doors and kill horses for this con too. What isn’t so amusing is that they likely won’t be allowed to just sit in limbo with the permit indefinitely. Eventually the county will likely start laying fines. I wonder if Manson feels the same about making sure they are paid before she closes or if she’ll try to hang the property owner with it?
Speaking of unpaid bills, this post showed up on the HiCaliber page the other day. Macho actually belongs to the owner of the property. One of the conditions of their lease was that Macho and Curly remain on the property and be cared for by HiCaliber. Curly was adopted out a few months ago and Macho was shifted off to foster along with a rather skinny Scotty. Apparently, Manson isn’t returning the calls of some people she owes money to.
It has been noticed by a few people that Jesse has a chunk missing out of his ear. Despite what she claims, he was likely not born with a wound like that. Up until recently they have gone out of their way to crop pictures and not show his ear. At one point Manson said he `scraped’ it, so the story changes depending on the audience. I don’t know what happened to him but Amanduh’s dog has been seen on live feed chasing and trying to heel him. I’ve brought a lot of foals into this world and never have I ever seen one born with a fresh wound and chunk out of their ear.
Corky the pig isn’t exactly living his best life either. He spends most of his time in the chicken coop and, up until recently, was trying to create his own mud from spilling his water. He’s recently been given a pool, but is still allowed to eat chicken feed which can create problems in pigs. The other night the HiCalibrites thought it would be funny to try to ride him, with a few of them taking turns. Corky tried to get away and run back to his chicken coop to no avail. Manson mentioned on the same live video he was only about 7 months old.
Rizzo was bought just a little over a year ago. Being young and papered, Manson immediately helped herself to him for $1 and whisked him off to Bang Bang Becky’s to `grow up’. Even though he was only 2 years old, Manson did test ride him last year. Since Bang Bang Becky kicked Manson to the curb, Rizzo has been back at HiCaliber and clearly not thriving. There is some controversy over his actual adoption status as he is listed as up for adoption on the website, but Manson has said in private forums that he is not really available. It makes me wonder if she is trying to hide her personal horses that live on the donor dollar for some reason and listing them even though they are not really available to the public.
The other day Amanduh did live feed while riding poor Petty. For whatever reason the HiCalibrites feel that a view of a horse’s ears is a suitable adoption video. I guess now that they’re closing they aren’t bothering with trying to hide much either as Amanduh took us along for a lovely tour of the various shit mountains that are stacked around the poor horses in the training area. I don’t suppose that moving them will ever happen now that they’re no loner pretending to give a shit about upkeep on that ranch.
Back in 2016 one of the villagers hosted a fundraiser for HiCaliber called the Horseshoe Gala. In the above video clip an almost unrecognizable Manson talks about being on track for a close to a million dollar year before inviting all the party goers to eat a dick. One of the featured items in the auction was a donated tanning bed. It was really strange that they only valued it at $300 when even a used tanning bed normally goes for $4000 minimum if you take a look online. I guess I shouldn’t be all that surprised about the under value on it considering the very same tanning bed took up residence in Manson’s house where it remains today.
On a recent live feed, several gunshots were going off in the background as some of the village idiots were out on public land attempting to shoot coyotes again. Of course, Manson thought it was hilarious and joked about shooting horses. You know what they say about many a truth being spoken in jest…
Dedo experienced a death by Manson recently. I’m not really sure what the official reason is for that as he wasn’t in any sort of quarantine situation that I’m aware of. No emotional goodbyes for him either even though her young son rode him and liked him. Dedo did not last even two months at HiCaliber. RIP Dedo #sayhisname
Julia was bought at auction back in December around the time of the Del Mar clusterfuck. In her intake video, Amanduh stated that she had some soreness and `mild’ conjunctivitis. If that was mild, I probably don’t want to know what they consider regular or severe. Julia’s intake video was pretty much the last we ever heard of her as far as updates. She was taken for a tarp nap recently without so much as a mention. RIP Julia #sayhername
Peasley also joined the list of the dead recently. Even though he was named after one of the nastier site admins, that did not save him from taking a bullet to the face. Peasley was diagnosed with ring bone shortly after being bought by HiCaliber but they never made much effort to find him a puff home. I’m not entirely sure he made it out of QT even. In Manson’s world ringbone is punishable by death. RIP Peasley #sayhisname
Many of us were rightfully outraged that Manson was parading horribly broken horses on the side of the road outside of the wedding she was attending. The one mare was an older OTTB named All Things Equal and the other was a young bay filly that appeared to be the victim of tripping. Originally Manson said she was injured in a paddock accident but in the above video she guesses she was match raced. She also seemed to specifically know she was only 2 1/2. It was pretty evident that the younger filly, if not both, were not long for the world with one of Manson’s favorite remote kill locations just around the corner at good ole Buzz’s. Despite them being cruel enough to haul this young mare in this condition it would seem she either got to hang out in the trailer until it was kill time or they killed her and partied after. Either fate is pretty callous. Manson even turned her death into being all about her in the above video and not once expressed any outrage for the people that did this to her. Instead she likely paid them to clean this up. The fate of the TB mare is not known but she is also presumed dead. RIP Ladies There is only one name to say as the younger filly didn’t have her name announced.
At auction or Tuesday, one of the flippers brought this horse and never took him/her anywhere near the ring. His trailer was parked next to Manson and at some point this horse was transferred to Manson’s where he got to stand in the heat until Manson was ready to leave auction. From there Manson went to Buzz’s where she remained for several hours. She had mentioned in one of her live feeds that day that she had been approached about this horse and it was likely a compassion pull. It would seem that once again Buzz’s place was used to kill this horse as he/she never made it back to HiCaliber and Manson was boasting or seeking validation that she just shot him/her without asking for money. I’m not even sure what her point was. Nobody had an opportunity to step up for this horse. He/she never went through the ring. Nobody really knows why this horse needed to be killed or if this dark bay was the one that was killed. Manson had a few in her trailer by the end of the day. What this reminds me of is back in the day when people would take their old and broken horses to slaughter to squeeze the last few pennies out of them. Manson is no better than a mobile slaughter-house it would seem. RIP Sweet horse, I wish we could say your name.
By now most people have heard that Squirrel is also dead despite several adoption offers for her over the past few months. She was purchased from Misner last year shortly after he had bought her at Mike’s auction. She was said to be very keyed up and hard to handle at Mike’s that night so there was always concern about what would happen with her at HiCaliber. What happened was she got sick with Strangles and suffered in her own filth. Her ultimate demise was similar to that of Nala’s having had Strangles and then exhibiting signs of colic which was likely a result of the abscesses bastardizing. We recently had a post about Squirrel and how her illness progressed here. Make no mistake this was a senseless and entirely preventable death. Manson denied this horse a chance at a forever home more than once. It is reasons like this that Manson is finding herself being run out of the rescue industry. This is not rescue and this is not ok. RIP Summer Soprano #sayherrealname
The above list is all the horses that have lost their lives at HiCaliber this year. We are in our 17th week of the year and forty two horses are already dead. That’s not counting the unnamed ones that have been killed, with at least three of them being within the past two weeks. That means Manson is killing an average of more than two horses every single week. Just looking at the list and it reads like an honor roll of senseless deaths. At least three of them are dead as a direct result of Strangles. I can probably count on one hand the number that actually and legitimately needed to be released from suffering unrelated to their time at HiCaliber. This is NOT rescue and this is exactly why Manson finds herself in the pickle she is in. THIS is why there are haters and will continue to be as long as she is infesting the horse industry.
As always, there isn’t much to say after the dead have been listed. Despite the announcement of doors closing and the lip service being paid to going out on a high, it’s pretty much business as usual at HiCaliber. Horses are being brought back to be warehoused, others are being shot and cons being run. Only yesterday Romney Faye sat in an empty auction house crying for the camera and begging for money. It seems closing the doors is a very good fund-raising angle as the donations continue to roll in. Manson has found some sympathetic ears in the media willing to allow her to spew her propaganda without the inconvenience of a fact check and the village idiots collectively touch themselves in ecstasy as if that was some proof that none of this is happening. It is happening and it’s not because people are anti-euthanisia. It’s not because anybody has an issue with tats, bad hair, or foul mouths. Lord knows enough of us rock some or all of those same things. What people are against is suffering and cruelty. They’re against rewarding and covering for the very people that are mutilating and hurting these animals and Manson doesn’t even do that under the guise of collecting evidence. She knew these tortured souls with broken bodies were her income source and the more mangled, the better. People are against that and that is why Manson finds herself on the outside looking in. She’ll tell you she `saved’ 500 horses a year but that’s a lie too. When you have increased the suffering and exploited it, you are a big part of the problem and you need to go.
These next few months are going to be rough as new schemes to raise funds are hatched and Manson tries to make the whole `Angel of Death’ thing fly. The more money rolls in, the longer she’s going to hang on until she has no choice. I can assure you that she has been cleared of nothing and the investigations are open and active. I can also assure you that the moles are all still very much in place and active. Information still flows. My job or intent with this blog has mostly been accomplished. I got the word out as best I could and we created a community where people felt safe and supported in telling their own stories. All the readers here are a huge part of that. I’m not going away just yet, as there is still work to do. Until the investigations wrap up, I’ll do my best to keep people updated on where we’re at and we will continue to say the names of those horses we could not get relief to in time. This is the hard part, but I think we’re all up to the challenge. There is light at the end of the tunnel and, this time it is not an oncoming train.
