I know I’m supposed to be working on the next round of audio clips for y’all. Patience. I’m deep into my procrastination phase at moment when it comes to all things blog; or at least when it comes to all things as it pertains to actually writing the blog. Communications behind the scenes are ongoing but, because of some weirdness and speculation the past few days, I’m going to de-procrastinate (yes, that’s a thing) and bring y’all up to speed. You should know by now that when M starts spinning her whoppers the little birds are gonna start chirping and we’ve got you. So let’s make this short, sweet and digestible.
As most of you know, the other day the alphamare page suddenly went away. Only the day before Manson had been hustling her tumblers. Some of you mentioned that she made some claim that she was going to give some of the proceeds to support law enforcement charities or something, but I didn’t see that. It’s probably worth nothing she considers herself to be LE in her former illustrious career carrying a baton as a low level animal control officer. Just sayin.. I actually don’t automatically check that page every day and when I do, I plug in alphatwat and that doesn’t come up, so I’m kinda used to the no data thing. However, when I did a real check the page was really gone. This kicked off rampant speculation as to why. Did the real Alpha Mare file copyright? I never thought so, but maybe? Did the AG take it down? Doubtful although their twitter has vanished as well. Well, straight from the hosebeast herself, Manson claims that she unpublished the page. There was the first lie. There is no possible way Manson would have willingly took that page down. That’s her life line and her only means of income. I asked a few people that have their own pages about the `new creator tools’ and they assured me that’s not a thing. So, let’s flash forward to today…
The page came back with this rather strange fishing video. Now, we’re used to fishing on that page in the form of fishing for validation, fishing for donations, fishing for swag, fishing for compliments, etc. This is for sure not the alphatwat kinda fishing and there was like no comments so that was even stranger. It kinda looks like it’s been hacked, but why did it take two days for this rather strange video to appear? Even more stranger, is that some people could still see the page from outside the US. I couldn’t see it on my phone but I could see it on my laptop through the proxy browser I use but only sometimes. The video only showed up after the page came up. Weird. Thankfully, Manson surfaced in her bat cave long enough to try and spin some damage control and thankfully, the birds were in flight.
Because the most diehard idiots remain in the private group, they obediently forgot that Manson had told them only a few days before that she had been the one to unpublish the page. They are not capable independent thought or action so they aren’t asking a bunch of questions like `if you knew you were hacked two days ago, why wouldn’t you warn us since you have our personal and financial info?’ They just obediently grab their pitchforks and torches…
Just a sampling of the fuckery that is going on. The same old idiots jostling for position up Manson’s ass. Now that Wrinkles has dislodged there is a bit of extra room although JonASSthan has made a comeback recently. There are a few things we need to talk about though. Manson truly is the gift that keeps on giving. I want to draw your attention to her talking about running her business and finances through the page. It’s right there in her own writing. As you all know the Alphamare page is actually the former HiCaliber page. That means it was/is technically an asset belonging to the non profit. The non profit paid to boost that page and Manson paid people to figure out algorithms with HiCaliber funds. I have that documentation and audio. Now she is using it for her own personal profit under the guise that the page was her personal page to begin with. Yeah, no.
I think most of you have seen this before. The page was created in 2012 and always belonged to HiCaliber. Always. Even more damning is Manson did have a personal blog style page apart from the HiCaliber page. It’s still there too.
Blunt Horse Drama was Manson’s actual personal page. It didn’t have many followers or much engagement compared to the rescue page so she abandoned it a few years ago. There isn’t a lot there, but you should probably check it out while it’s still up. I’m sure it will go poof soon enough. The point being is that existence of this page really does drive home that the HiCaliber page was never her personal blog as she claims. She also had some blog posts she used to write on the HiCaliber website which are still available thanks to the internet archive engines.
I honestly don’t know why her page was down for a few days. I didn’t think the AG would take that page down but here is what I do know: I know over a year ago they were asked for their Facebook, twitter and Instagram archives by the deputy AG. They were not compliant and coming up with all sorts of excuses at the time. Manson, Romney Faye Baker and Angrid were all involved back then. Since that time and up until recently some things have been scrubbed off that page as far as videos. It is plausible that the page was down for another cleansing or maybe it was hacked. Maybe it’s something else entirely. We just know that videos are missing off that page (thankfully they are all saved by the good guys) and their main twitter account is gone too. Any inquiries to the AG are met with the standard `we cannot comment on open investigations’ line. Go ahead and check that out for yourself, especially those of you that have sent in info. You should have file numbers to refer to when making your inquiries. The other thing I want to remind people is that with this being an open investigation, if you see something or come across new info, send it in. Don’t assume somebody else has. Better they get the same thing 5 times than not at all. As for me, I’m going to get back to me regularly scheduled procrastinating before I get the next round of audios ready. I have a few other things I’m working on that are more of a project as well. Miles to go before we sleep!
….to bring you MORE drama! That’s right, today’s post is a giant tub of popcorn’s worth of drama, drama, drama but it’s only loosely related to HiCaliber. We’ll be getting back to them in a few days. In fact, it’s almost like sweeps week on the blog because we’re gonna have some fun over the next little while. I know I’ve threatened posts recently and I have been chipping away to the point I was ready to start dropping them. Really and truly! What I have planned is a new direction with the same players and I think it will be most enlightening. However, that’s on the back burner til Monday-ish because our old buddy Maggot is getting served a healthy dose of karma while showing off her true colors. Because she has been so hateful towards friends of this blog and attempted to cock block and run interference for HiCaliber, it only seems fair to let her have her time in the spotlight too. This is all still playing out, so I’ll put a bit of context around it as best I can for those of you that mostly ignore her. I strongly suggest you grab some popcorn and a beverage of choice. Welcome to Sweeps Week!
Today’s drama fest kicked off with this little post that came across my news feed today. I’m not personal friends with Derek Simon and I don’t really know the guy other than, up until today, he was Maggot’s boss. I have commented before that Maggot worked for an offshore betting account which Derek confirms in his post. When I read this, I got a feeling that Maggot’s meat hooks were probably less than clean when it came to some of the statements he was making just knowing the crazy she is capable of and that she must always be in a state of crisis and battle. Seriously, in all the years I have known her (more than I’d care to think about at this point), she is constantly angry or fighting some sort of online battle, so it’s hardly surprising that with the HiCaliber issue in a holding pattern and her getting thwarted at Judge Judy as far as being the one to unmask Shedrow, that she’s been stirring up shit elsewhere. Think I’m making a leap? Think again…
Thankfully, I didn’t have to dig far or connect too many dots for people because yet another of Maggot’s former bosses cleared up exactly what was going on and I can’t say that I’m surprised. Maggot has habitually been a jealous creature and I even called it back when Tara was hired at US Racing. I knew Maggot would be threatened by not only her looks, but her hustle. Tara actually hands on rescues horses and basically appears to be everything Maggot wishes she was. I especially love the part about plagiarism and the whole calling a spade a spade. Fucking glorious!
Here we have Exhibit A of the woman scorned plot line. The ditching at Breeders Cup which wasn’t so much a ditching but more of a case of Maggot feeling left out. Back in 2016 after Maggot won her award, they were all very chummy at BC in California. If I recall correctly, US Racing bought them all tickets as a reward for their work with the Borell story. Of course, Tara and another woman (not sure if she’d want to be named in the mess but I’ll happily give credit where it’s due if she wants) were the ones that actually rolled up their sleeves and did the work while Maggot wrote the book report and trolled social media for material. She didn’t actually `do’ anything towards physically helping those horses or getting relief in there. Flash forward to Breeders Cup last year and Maggot had to get herself there on her own dime and there were no seats for her this time. I believe Derek and Tara were seated with a friend or something, but not 100% on that. The bottom line is that Maggot got her feelers hurt and, true to form, she decided to fuck with them in some twisted payback scheme. This is what Maggot does, just like when she marked herself up and tried to get Pasterfuck arrested for domestic violence when they had their holiday blow out a few years back. No limits to how low Maggot will sink to get her revenge and apparently her boss’s marriage was fair game to her.
Ahhh, the good ole `black heart’ insult. Weren’t some of us accused of having black hearts when Maggot was on her anti-bullying mission? I’m totally pissed I didn’t get the passive aggressive title added onto it because anybody that knows me knows I am the absolute QUEEN of passive aggressivity and I have no plans to abdicate. As far as Derek and Tara are concerned, if they would like to use my reach to shed some more light, I hope they have their people call my people. I’m all ears!
Right on cue Pasterfuck comes charging in to defend Maggot and lower the level even further. I could have shown countless screen shots of Maggot sucking up to Tara over the years until the Breeders Cup snubbing. As far as the never her boss, well it turns out that is a lie. Yes, Tara was Maggot’s boss but right from jump street, Maggot bristled at being a subordinate to a younger, prettier, smarter and more sane version of what Maggot could ever be. I love the accusation about being drunk that Maggot makes. Wasn’t that one of her issues with the blog? Didn’t she think somebody wondering if she was drinking was something worth suing over?
You know the old saying about many a truth spoken in jest? Yeah, about that..This was the post last year when Tara was hired by US Racing and, in fact, became Maggot’s boss. Maggot’s little joking post is an acknowledgement of sorts and probably the beginning of the seething jealousy that would consume her come November of that same year.
I’m probably posting these out of order because this was all going on between 3 Facebook pages. It was hard to keep up. This is from Maggot’s own page and it got one like and one wow as most real racing insiders have long since backed away from her crazy. This time she flat out calls her former boss a drunk. Classy.
More crazy making contradictions from Mags. She’s clearly flailing at this point and nobody other than Pasterfuck is buying what she’s selling. She seems to think that we all haven’t seen this play out from her in various forms over and over again. Maggot gets, feelers hurt. Maggot strikes out by doing something dirty and subversive. Maggot gets called on her own shit. Maggot plays victim card. Rinse. Repeat.
I love this so much. After hanging her ass out on social media, Maggot attempts to scare me into not posting what she put out in public herself? What good is suing people that aren’t me going to do? Didn’t she already try that? I don’t think Judge Judy is going to keep handing her 5K every time she gets her feelings hurt and, as her buddy Angrid found out, real judges don’t have much time for this sort of thing. But whatever, she still has no clue who I am and she signed a release that states she can’t sue JM again for the same thing for a certain period. Here’s a tip for Maggot, who I know is reading this: If you don’t want to get a feature on this blog, tuck your crazy in and stop being such a festering twat to everybody. Simple.
Now that we’ve documented and marked some more antics from Maggot, I’m going to return to the regular planned posts provided her pant shitting doesn’t bleed on for days to come. Where I’m at with the other posts is they are mostly put together but the important bits are going to another desk for polishing which will make complete sense very soon. Basically I’m not that tech savvy so I hand that part over to those that are and I can’t dictate exactly when they get back to me. I will explain more about that anon. I suspect Monday/Tuesday-ish. Believe it or not, even posts like this one, which is mostly a phone in, take a bit out of me. I have a weird process when it comes to putting this stuff together and it’s always an ordeal. It’s been nice to step back and take a bit of a break from all that. I needed it. However with Manson attempting a re-branding and a comeback, I feel it’s time to lay some cards on the table and we’re going to do just that in a series of posts. I’m also not done with RHI and there are also some unrelated posts in various stages of development rattling around too. In short, I’m not going anywhere and we have miles to go before we sleep. Buckle up!
I was really going to give the drama a miss today. It’s not really my thing, but since my inbox is getting absolutely bombarded it seems easier to just take a detour from our regular scheduled advocacy and address everything right here in the open. I was also sent some VERY interesting screen shots that I will share with you just to put some context around current events. Ready? Get your drama boots on!
As you can see, I got this email from a Judge Judy producer prior to the taping of their show. Just prior as it turns out. These producers are basically paid to bring the drama and I don’t do game shows. I was aware that Jennifer was doing this but she was clear that I wouldn’t be participating. The producers try to manipulate people into bringing the drama. Both parties get paid for their appearances and the show pays any awards. Basically a no lose situation for either of them other than the humiliation of being on a reality show. Make no mistake, I think Jennifer is awesome for standing up to a bully like Maggot. She didn’t let herself be bullied into giving Maggot what she really wanted. Me. However, Jave, the producer, also had his feelers hurt and decided to help Maggot out. He did this by handing her the above email response with the headers showing. I’m told he also gave her some emailed correspondence between himself and Jen showing headers as well. The problem for this little brain trust is it appears that Jen and me both use Gmail.
So, as you can clearly see, the only thing they found out from that email was where the Gmail servers are. Gmail isn’t a downloaded program on my computer or phone so it never resolves to where I am. Never let facts get in the way of reality TV and Maggot’s butthurt though. I’ll deal with Jave through his own employers just on principle because while what he did do has no effect on me personally, he has opened an innocent person up for more targeted harassment and bullying and it was also illegal AF. I tagged him in this post so people know what a douche he is and how Judge Judy operates. At no time did I ever sign a consent or release to be on this show and they have infringed on my copyright and trademark. Tsk tsk. Let’s get back to Maggot, shall we?
As everybody knows, Maggot once won an award for writing about Maria Borell. How could you not know? She never stops reminding everybody. It’s almost like in her 50 some years of existence, that’s her only accomplishment. I guess even blind squirrels find the odd nut. However, in the last few days, this came into my email from one of Maggot’s own buddies. I guess even her friends are disgusted with her behavior. It puts a little more light around her tactics as a `journalist’.
Here are screenshots of Maggot asking somebody to leak the phone numbers of Maria and Chuck Borell and even laughing about finally talking somebody into doing it for her. Isn’t that super professional behavior from a `journalist’? She also tries to get this person to believe that she chose not to take a job at TVG in favor of moving further down the professional ladder. Ok, then…
More butthurt over Ray Paulick and the Paulick report. I don’t know what her deal with him is, but she seems bothered by his opinion of the offshore betting website she writes for. Maybe the person that sent these screen shots can give some more context at some point.
Here we have Maggot bragging about getting another journalist fired and then cockblocking her from getting a job. If memory serves, this person dared to write Maria’s side of the story and that offended Maggot somehow. Here is the Borell’s statement about Margaret and her tactics as a journalist: LINK Make no mistake, I think Maria is a POS for the condition of those horses, but I’m just a blogger. I can go hard in one direction and just voice my opinion. Maggot puffs her mammaries out and never stops reminding people that she’s an `AWARD WINNING’ journalist and she should be held to a higher standard.
Here we have Maggot talking about another person who happens to be a track photographer. I edited out anything that shows her name just because of how nasty Maggot is here and it seems almost pointless. Just mean for the sake of being mean. This, coming from the person that claims some sort of moral high ground.
To close this post off, I just want to make a few things crystal clear. No matter what Maggot and her turd flingers are saying, Jennifer wasn’t outed as shedrow and they still don’t have any proof at all. Having said that, they seemed to think they can file a bunch of nuisance suits and get away with it. They may find out that how things go down in a real court of law is much different from a reality TV show. I won’t know because I won’t be there and not because I’m hanging Jen out to dry. I’m not. She’s an advocate and she stood up and took one for the team and I thank her for that. Jen is the one that stood up to the real bully and put horses first. She could have thrown a name out, any name, and Maggot would have lost her case. She did what was right for the horses and the things we work on. Also, Jen really doesn’t know me. I don’t use my legal name on any social media and that’s a fact. She doesn’t have any contact information for me that you don’t all have. My Gmail address. I am truly sorry that she took the hit and I will continue to support her. I hope the real advocates will continue to have her back as none of this is fun. I see a whole lotta glass houses and as much as I hate making dramatic posts such as this, I’m well armed to continue down this path should Maggot and her cronies not sit down and move on. For now, I’m going to get back to what I do which is advocacy. I’ve never been bothered by the opinions of people I have zero respect for. If anything, being on the other side of the fence of people like Maggot let’s me know I’m on the right path. Now, back to our regular scheduled advocacy soon. I’ve got a desk full of stuff to share with y’all!
When I dusted off this blog and decided to write about HiCaliber back in 2017, it was just me needing to offload what was on my chest. No moles, no help. Just me. It seems somehow appropriate that I close the HiCaliber chapter of this blog the same way. Just me. I’ve seen a lot of speculation, talk, and general noise about who did what, what I thought, what my motives were and who I was for months. Most of it was just that. Noise. This is the story straight from the source of how it all went down as far as my involvement and process. Forgive me if this gets a bit long, I still have a lot to get off my chest.
Kill spot at HiCaliber
May 2017. That’s when I dusted off this blog after a 3 1/2 year hiatus. Little did I know, I was grabbing a tiger by the tail with that post. There wasn’t really a mission or master plan, but it also wasn’t out of nowhere. HiCaliber had been a rescue I’d loosely followed over the years. I’d even given them a shout out once upon a time and featured Manson’s videos on the Starlight Sanctuary train wreck way back then. (Manson wasn’t the one that sent them to me. I’ve never had contact with her as far as I know). Yes, I kinda thought Manson was rough around the edges and a little bit of a gunsel but without looking too deeply at her, I figured she was doing more good than harm and maybe that actually was the case way back when. Then, HiCaliber started popping up on my newsfeed more and more. I’m guessing this was due to their algorithm bumps and her paying to boost her posts, but I can’t be sure. I’m not that tech savvy and anything computer related I still attribute to magic and try not to apply reason to it. At any rate, the more they came across my newsfeed, the more squinty eyed I became. Aside from the weekly cry seshes, what struck me was the constant state of crisis. It just didn’t ring right for me and my spidey senses started tingling.
Then Snuggles happened… Nothing about the Snuggles situation rang true and it really started to stink to high heaven when they went into damage control mode spinning this tale on how that yes, they did trade this horse to a kill buyer, but always planned to get him back. Yeah, because that’s a thing rescues do. I could have even suspended disbelief and gone on with my life but close on the heels of Snuggles came the whole Slaughter 11 debacle. Y’all remember the last minute fundraising effort and dramatic save culminating with the `collapsed’ and strategically placed horses on the ground heaving from what appeared to be heat exhaustion. I always meant to write that whole mess up as a throwback post after I resurrected this blog, but those wacky horse killers at HiCaliber kept shitting their collective pants and I never got around to it. What I did get around to was documenting everything and sorting out exactly how it all happened and adding it to the file of fraud. Suffice to say it was a set up from jump street and the fact that it coincided with Romney Faye’s relationship with Dumbass Darrell is not a coincidence.
After these incidents, I got my dig on and found out who `Voldy’ was and started tracking things. Initially, there wasn’t a lot out there on Facebook other than a defunct screen shot group. I think it might still be in existence but never updated. Apart from that, the only thing I could find was a few mutterings in advocate groups and the advocacy groups I mostly lurked at are anti-slaughter groups. I’m not and never have been very active on Facebook or any social media as far as being an active participant. I can’t even remember my twitter account password and haven’t updated my status in nearly 2 years. However, I questioned and bitched about HiCaliber just enough to join forces with some other advocates. Real ones, not armchair ones.
Despite what has been said, or you may have heard, I did not get `inspired’ to dust off this blog. I got extremely pissed off and needed to vent. It took me about 3 days to even figure out what my password to this account was. (I actually forget what it is again, so please stop trying to hack it as it’s a pain in my ass to go through a gazillion random post-it notes stuck all over my house). Remember that Snuggles and the Slaughter11 stuff went down in the summer/fall of 2016. My first post back was in May of 2017 and the reason I was pissed off is a bunch of us had been gathering information, compiling information and NOTHING was happening with it. If anything, it felt like The Manson Family was gaining momentum and the body count was becoming alarming. When they pulled off the OTTB20 shit show, I was triggered. I’m a racetracker born and bred. (yes, Maggot we know each other and that’s why I laugh at you) so you fuck with OTTBs and lie about them, I’m not going to let it go. Throw Satan and Doughboy into that mix and I am going to the mat with it. Simple as that.
I figured I would just post a bit about the OTTB20 sitch and then put this blog back in mothballs. I was actually shocked at the response those posts got and completely unprepared for what was to follow. Needless to say things snowballed. The OTTB20 became 40 and more. Pretty much everything about that mess forward is documented on this blog. I don’t need to go over it all again. That’s not what this post is about. What happened behind the scenes was a literal outpouring of information almost as if I’d opened a floodgate. All of a sudden, it became safe for people to speak out against HiCaliber without fear of reprisal from the mob mentality of the village. I have always allowed people to post in the comments without registering here and I never turn on their IPs to look at unless I have to block them. I tried to keep things as safe as possible to speak out and it worked. Did I ban a few? You bet your ever lovin ass I did and I’m proud of it. (I see you, Stacy Kendall. Get some diaper creme for that butthurt). I have never cared if you’re a villager who wanted to come over here and state your side of things. A few of them have. Agreeing with me is not required either. The only thing I ever insisted on is to be respectful in presenting your ideas. Come over here with your guns blazing and I’ll take away your bullets. During the whole course of the HiCaliber era, I think only about 4 of you got banned. It’s an exclusive club.
Back in those very early days I was winging it. I had no moles or even considered getting them. Lord knows The Manson family was arrogant and sloppy enough to give all the ammo I needed back then. I had one person that was working with me and for sure helped loads with memes, clips and ears out in all the groups. I also joined forces with Stealth Mole very early in the game although not in a mole capacity. One thing I want to make clear is that I never once reached out to anybody to be my mole. I let them come to me and I’m so grateful they did. OG Mole was the first and was very quickly followed by others. Some stayed with me longer than others. OG rode it to the end with me along with a few others we’ll get to. I will forever be grateful to the longtime insiders that took a chance and trusted me. Some had tidbits of info while others stuck it out and risked a bunch. I felt bad every time I saw people accused and vilified for being moles that weren’t. (Leah, I’m so sorry you keep taking hits. As far as I know, we never communicated) Other moles were hiding in plain sight and stayed that way. I tried to make it comfortable for people to come forward and I always, always checked if what they were giving me could be posted. Sometimes I couldn’t post what they shared and that was fine too. There is a lot of information and `receipts’ that exchanged hands that have never seen the light of day and won’t until the AG does whatever it is he’s going to do with all of it. Some people who came forward had been dedicated villagers that had actively hated me and my blog. I’m in absolute awe at their dedication to the animals that they could set that aside and reach out. Thank you. You all made a huge difference and more than once I felt completely humbled by your advocacy and trust. My hope is that when the dust all settles, I can meet with some of you and thank you in person. You have my undying respect.
While we’re on the subject of moles, I’ve seen a lot of blather from the village idiots about how could they stand by and watch these atrocities being committed and say and do nothing. Of course these are also the same brainiacs that have suggested that the condition that property was left in was `normal’ and one of them even suggested that HiCaliber had increased the property value. (I’m not even kidding about that one. I have the screen shot). Clearly these people have no concept on how cases are made. Do they think an undercover cop makes a bust the first time he sees the law broken? Nobody goes down for what they might do. Sometimes you have to hand people the rope and sit back. You have to bite your tongue and look at the greater good and it sucks. It’s heart wrenching and it’s horrible and every single mole and ex HiCaliber person that spoke out deserves respect. I can only imagine what witnessing some of those things first hand must have been like.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Dixie. She was another one that reached out to me very early on offering her help to in doing more than just getting information out there, but actually doing something with that information. Dixie is a really well-known and respected advocate and she gets things done. This was not her first rodeo exposing a fraudulent rescue. She was the one that took care of the reams of evidence and organized it. She’s the one that knew exactly how to package and present it and she got the result. Did other people unrelated to the blog report stuff? I’m sure they did. I hope they did. I’m strictly talking about the information that came across my desk and that was handed to us. It was no small task, but despite a whole bunch personally going on for her, Dixie put the animals first and I firmly believe the CVMB and AG cases wouldn’t be as far along without her. I miss having Dixie here to bounce stuff off of every day, but she’s here in spirit and she’s still working for the horses as she can.
I bet you’re wondering about the auction team and the birth of stealth mole. The core team at auction was Stealth Mole, Hollywood Mole and Crash Mole. Sometimes they were joined by moles who will not be named and Rogue Mole. Every single one of them did their part, but I gotta bow down to the big three here. They knocked it out of the park each and every time and it wasn’t fun at all. There is so much footage and pics that may not make titillating blog fodder but they most certainly made the case. Auction days were extremely stressful between people sweating it out in the backs of vehicles and others risking confrontations with the Manson Family. All of us trying to coordinate over messenger and via text and trying really hard to get that money shot as the Manson family scattered to the wind in an effort to hide their dealings. They had Manson call them `cuntfaces’ right in front of everybody at auction among other things. One of those times was because one of them dared to bid on a horse they wanted to help out. Apparently it interfered with the HiCaliber grift or something. The auction moles did most of their work out of their own pocket and for no glory other than they were trying to help animals and do the right thing. They didn’t just go in one or two times but many, many times. The big three will forever be in my circle of trust. If I had to pinpoint the one thing that `broke’ HiCaliber it was what the auction team got done. They completely took HiCaliber out of the game at Ontario and by doing so, they severed off their major source of fundraising. They also keep going back randomly to document the conditions for the unfortunate souls that are being run through there.
While we’re on the subject of the circle of trust I feel I need to have my say about some other things that are playing out social media. The whole Jennifer Marek as a sacrificial lamb drama. The fact is that Jen is not associated with this blog and hasn’t been for the better part of a year. I’ve never met Jen and she doesn’t know me. We’ve discussed her lawsuit only as far as to say that it’s a slam dunk for her because she is not me and never even moderated this blog or holds any responsibility here. Why should anybody give in to the likes of Maggot filing a frivolous suit because she wants to the honor of unmasking the blogger? It’s not going to change the truth of what I wrote and the last time I checked there is no law against telling the truth and having opinions. If finding out an anonymous source’s identity was that easy, don’t you think we’d all know who leaked that stuff about the White House by now? The fact is that I have been supportive of Jen in this situation and supporters of this blog have contributed to her legal fund to the tune of around $2000 as well as in other ways. Nobody has hung her out to dry. We just don’t all hang our dirty laundry out for public commentary. What is grist for the rumor and gossip mill is no concern of mine, but know that I can ALWAYS back my shit up. I just don’t play those cards unless I have to. Maggot doesn’t just get to pick a random target and get her own way. That’s not how it works and I have every confidence that Jen will not only win that lawsuit but likely will win a countersuit for harassment should she go that route because she isn’t me and never has been. It really is that simple The other suit really doesn’t have anything to do with this blog so I can’t really comment on that. I guess if I was Jen, I might have done things a bit differently as far as poking the bear, but that’s her stuff, not mine. I will be supportive of her seeing this through as I always have been and she knows it, so miss us with your drama and speculation while shit gets handled.
I also want to talk about the Horror Page. I don’t think it’s any secret I haven’t always been a fan of the antics on Facebook. I bet it would surprise y’all to know that I’ve worked with them a number of times. While I don’t like drama and all that goes with it, I know their aim was true and we ultimately wanted the same outcomes. There just happens to be more than one way to skin a cat and leaving it in a freezer ain’t one of them. (see what I did there?) Rogue Mole helped us out immensely on a few occasions and I am grateful. My gratitude extends to other members of that group who I know stepped up in ways they never will talk about and are still doing so. My hope is that they handle all the details the next time a SoCal rescue shits its pants and needs intervention so I can sit out! I’m not going anywhere but I will be returning to more hit and run posts and advocacy. I’m going to leave the years long projects to others for now and the gals over at Horror are more than capable of taking that on should they choose to.
From my perspective, nobody was speaking out about this shit show back when I wrote that first blog. I don’t know why that is or what changed, but the tide did turn and no one person did that. Many voices did that. I always tried to keep drama off this blog even though yes, I did slip sometimes. You can only take so much provocation without striking back. I had a lot of people emailing me and wanting things. Some wanted info, some wanted to share info. I quickly learned to keep my circle really small and I did that intentionally. In the interest of credibility, I refused to work with certain people who claimed to have the goods or would get them. Some of those people that couldn’t get what they wanted from me ran straight to the dark side and bitched. Some are still bitching because I didn’t do things how they thought I should. None of them can ever say I didn’t keep their confidence. I always did that no matter how done I got with some parties.
I’ve been accused of hating the media. Not true at all. Almost from the beginning I’ve had offers from a few news outlets to talk and it’s just not my thing. Everything I’m willing to share is here on this blog. There is a big difference between a blogger and a reporter. A reporter’s job to report things that have already happened and try to remain unbiased. As a blogger, I’m not bound by those shackles. My `job’ was to make things happen and the team I worked with did that. Without them the reporters would have had nothing to report. Reporters didn’t file the case with the AG, Dixie and others did that. They didn’t file with the CVMB, again, that was Dixie and various other people. Reporters cover stories that bring them ratings and what brings ratings? You all bring the ratings. We, all of us on the `hater’ side of things, made this story worth covering and continue to do so. Now it’s time to let the media take this out to the mainstream public beyond the horse community. The more viral it becomes, the flashier this case gets for the AG to slam dunk.
I mentioned this blog has been around since 2012. It’s true. Just go back through the archives because there is a lot of really good information on it. It always had a loyal following even on hiatus, but it exploded with the HiCaliber stuff. In the last 1 1/2 years there has been nearly 3 million hits on this blog. In the early days of the HiCaliber saga I toyed with the idea of monetizing it and the plan was to give at least 50% of whatever it brought in to different rescue each month. I even had one person tell me that I absolutely should and not feel bad about pocketing it because I earned it. I quickly abandoned that idea because I never wanted anybody to think I did this for any personal gain. I left a lot of money on the table by not doing so, but I’m ok with that. It was the right thing to do. I knew that no matter what I did, the defenders of HiCaliber, the cockblockers and turd flingers, would turn it into something ugly and gross. It seems that I’m right since Pasterfuck was still yipping about me monetizing it not so long ago because he sees ads on the page when visits one of his 89 times a day to take screen shots for his binder. (BTW, I think that binder qualifies me as a published author, so thanks PF please send the royalties to MOP and TGC). The ads belong to WordPress and the money goes to them as far as I know.
Another thing I’ve seen bitched about is why none of us haters ever stepped up and helped any horses. Boy howdy! If they only knew! I personally networked horses into the double digits and I know other haters that did too. I’m guessing more horses went to haters in this past six months than anywhere else. Trust me, the haters stepped up in spades for the HiCaliber horses and it wasn’t easy task, but you know it was done for the right reasons because you don’t see a single one of them being fund raised for or gloated about. They are being loved and cared for just as they always deserved. Don’t bother emailing me about them because I’ll never tell. In fact I’ve already forgotten.
Why the anonymity? Because this blog has never been about me. You all see the complete and absolute fuckery that goes on back and forth over on Facebook and all that does is detract from the issues and take the focus away from what is important. The animals. As I’ve said, who I am won’t change the truth of what I wrote about. I don’t have any skeletons rattling around in my closet and I don’t much care what people I don’t even respect think about me. My anonymity has allowed me access to information I otherwise wouldn’t have and my anonymity allowed others to feel safe in coming forward to me, hence the `confessional’ suggestion of this blog name. If people don’t agree with how I did things or my choices, they can start a blog, take on more than two years of investigative work and present and do it the way they think it should be done Fill your boots. My delivery or `style’ may not be for everybody, but that’s the luxury of being a blogger. I get to be authentically me and do it how I feel it should be done. In this case it worked. Love me or hate me, I got shit done and I did it for the animals. I don’t care about glory or pats on the back. That’s never been my style. I just don’t appreciate when others take credit that isn’t their due.
I want to close this off by bringing it back to what this has all been about. The animals. The exploitation, the suffering, neglect and outright torture some of them endured will forever haunt me. If there is any take away from all of this it is to speak up and speak out before things get so far out of control. There were whispers about HiCaliber for years before the final curtain and hundreds of animals were executed in that time. Some months ago, I posted a pic of this very spot where there were some tarps, manure and way too much blood for the death to have been painless. It seems only fitting that we placed a small symbol of our love in that same spot to let them know they will never be forgotten and their deaths were not in vain. Thank you to the Markstein/Fox family for allowing us to do so and thank you to Stealth for making it happen. This was from all of us on the shedrow team including readers and supporters. I’m not done with my advocacy and I’m not going anywhere, but for now I’m closing the chapter on HiCaliber because we accomplished what we set out to do. #IAMSHEDROW #SAYTHEIRNAMES
This is seriously going to be a flyby kinda post today. I felt rather than let things pile up and create a backlog for myself, I would drop it all here and prevent a shitload of procrastination and grumpiness in a week or two. We’ll see how that works out. Hopefully, I can answer a few questions I’ve noticed in the comments over the last week or so.
I’m sure everybody remembers the permit panic awhile back and major fund-raising effort that ensued. I believe between all the different fundraisers they raised in excess of 20k. Of course we know that more than half of that never went towards the permit due to the fact they kinda just left the county hanging and last check, they remain in arrears as far as monies owed. However, the county, with a few firm nudges from locals, seem to be staying on top of the situation and this is their most recent correspondence with HiCaliber along with the new compliance schedule. Of course, this may all be a moot point if Manson really does hop on her broom and infest a new dwelling right away.
Going by this post made by a volunteer in their private group, it would seem that for all intents and purposes, HiCaliber as we know it might finally be over. It looks like things at the barn are starting to be packed up and readied to stash somewhere. As of a few days ago, the poor pig is still there and I’m not entirely sure who `Thor’ is. The website lists Thor as a `Clearwater’ TB with no picture. That Thor is apparently adopted. `Thor’ is also the name of one of JonASSthan’s horses that he adopted from HiCaliber a few years ago. His original name was Whisper and he is on their website under that name. Given the fact that JonASSthan appears to have swapped out his scissors for gloves and now slings hay for a living, it wouldn’t be a huge stretch to think that he probably can’t afford his horses either. That’s just speculation though since we know that Manson has does like her `projects’ that the village never really gets to meet.
Here is poor Braveheart It appears he’s got some filling in his left hind and we can guess that maybe he’s one of those horses that need some attention from the farrier. It doesn’t look like anybody has bothered to groom the poor horse in forever. Remember when Manson scooped him up for $1 despite the fact there was lots of interest in him? She claimed she only took him to help place him and was going to donate the money she made back to the rescue. How’s that working out for you, Manson? It sure as hell, didn’t work out too well for Braveheart.
These are some of Manson’s horses. The fence is still broken and the one feeder is not looking all that healthy either. I know that we’ve had pictures going back weeks showing the same broken fence and it seems nobody can be arsed to even jury-rig it together. I guess everybody left is too busy putting the oxygen on themselves first or something.
Some more pics of some random inmates that remain at the ranch. I cannot figure out why poor Shasta is still there or Legacy either. Again, lots of filth and lack of grooming is evident. Business as usual at the feed lot.
As promised, here is a copy of the court papers Mags served on WordPress. The email from them is basically an automated one and I’ve since had more personal communications with them where the Anti-SLAPP law was discussed. Maggot should really look that up, but even so, what she is asking for still won’t tell her who I am. It might tell her various airports I’ve been in, maybe even a coffee shop or two, but it won’t get her any closer to who I am. Proxy server, Mags. Look it up.
Mags wants an apology
I think this might be a more appropriate form for Mags to file. She certainly seems bothered for somebody that continually claims not to read my blog or care what I say. in fact, Maggot claims that nobody reads here so there is that too. Personally, I don’t need or want an apology from her when this all shakes out. I have other plans.
Here we have a bit of a throwback screenshot. This was Mags talking to Maria Borell on social media. Mags, the `professional journalist’ talking to the subject of her award-winning article. Funny how she talks about multiple judgements considering her own financial situation *cough*bankrupt*cough*. Don’t get me wrong, I think Maria is pond scum for what happened with her horses, but the fact that Mags can work up outrage over 43 horses and then turn a blind eye and defend the countless incidents of abuse, neglect and needless killing at HiCaliber is jaw dropping. Don’t get me started on the bully stuff.
Here we have Mags still on the Dina Hate Train and this time she’s commiserating with none other than Randi Collier, who also happens to be a kill pen dipper. Poor Mags isn’t up to speed enough on the slaughter pipeline or rescue to realize what’s wrong with kill pen dipping. How do I know this? Because her BFF dips kill pens too and according to Mags, she even went along on a trip to Kaufman last year. I find it funny that Mags thinks anybody who donated to Dina has a right to know what happened to the horses, but nobody that donates to HiCaliber has that same right. Again with the bullying. How come everybody that disagrees with Maggot is a bully, but she can literally go off on people and that’s all in the name of whatever it is she calls it that sees her parked on Facebook every waking hour.
I know many of you are upset about the last-ditch grifting that is going on. It’s kinda funny that they have two outstanding bills that are exactly $1500, no? It’s almost like that’s a first and last month’s rent. Having said that, grown assed people can give their money to whomever they want. As frustrating as it is to watch, let it go. It’s noted, documented and sent on to where it needs to be. While I’m not holding my breath for her to actually vacate that property willingly, it does seem like we’re looking at the end of HiCaliber. That being said, there are miles to go before we sleep. Until next time…
I’m going to try to keep this as short as possible today. I’ll leave the epic and self-serving posts to Manson. I think I’ll leave the empty promises to her as well. Updates that never happen, vets that are never called, etc. etc. What I do have today is some brief HiCaliber stuff to update on and then a few other things that are somewhat related but not really. Is that as clear as mud? Read on!
I’m sure you’ve all read the incredibly long and self-involved tha post Manson put up on the HiCaliber page last week. I won’t bother to repost it in its entirety here, but there are some things worth talking about other than the fact that she’s so lazy she leaves the garbage on the floor for somebody else to pick up. We also don’t need to highlight that, by her own admission, she was in such a drug induced stupor she can’t even hear her own animals ripping it apart or anything else going on. Nice. No confirmation on whether or not her housekeeper is still coming twice a week, but let’s hope so. I’ve seen the post rehashed over and over, including her grossly understated numbers on her own personal hoard herd. What I’m mostly concerned with is that a number of people reached out suggestions, offers and moral support. Of course, those things don’t buy you manicures and even though the village ponied up nearly $400, the cash didn’t flow like the good old days. I guess that’s what happens when you shake the money tree once too often.
Here are just two examples of the word play by Manson that amounts to lying. No, the ASPCA probably haven’t offered to take the horses, but the San Diego Humane Society has and have also publicly stated they are prepared to step in and have a more than weekly presence at the ranch. Then you have Manson claiming she has no debt. This is what you would call a lie of omission. She may well have no personal debt on paper right now since she filters everything through the rescue which currently has a LOT of debt right now. She also had two bankruptcies in 2014 so there is that too.
Casper
Sync
Manson promised updates and a list of adoptables almost a week ago. As of this writing, there has been nothing so it was time for some moles to get busy. These pics were all taken within the last 10 days. The first two show the barn horses which appear to be Sync and Casper. I’m not entirely sure why they are in the barn, but Casper has been said to have vision issues in the past.
The horses in these pics appear to be Boone and Legacy or at least part of Legacy’s face in the one picture. Boone still seems to be wearing that filthy bandage on one ankle, but not sure what it’s hiding or if they are just trying to bow him maybe. The filth in the pens and manure mountains are clearly evident but at least the horses have some shelter for a change.
Here are some other random pics from around the ranch. There is at least one gray horse that appears thin enough to hang a hat on their hip bones. Shasta is still there which seems to be the penalty for packing Manson’s ass around on trail rides. Why hasn’t this mare been adopted yet? Is she still available? Who knows?
Even though they are not available for adoption, these are the Manson horses, including poor Chrome and his shredded fly mask. Braveheart is still in the ranch and in her herd despite her claims she only adopted him to help place him. You can read that back 87 more times and it won’t make any sense. Trust me. The broken pipe fencing is interesting too given the fact that Rizzo and Meatball’s injuries. Speaking of which…
After collecting over $1000 for the treatment of the injured horses, Manson has flat-out refused to provide updates or even come clean on who the injured horses are. I find this odd for a number of reasons. She claims not to read the `hater’ pages or this blog or even screen shots from the same, yet she somehow knows people are questioning whether a vet sewed up Rizzo. For some reason Manson’s internet only works when she’s posting on her new Alphatwat Commune page or when she’s posting under one of her alternate profiles.
The good news is they are still getting hay delivered. There was a brand new load on the drive way just a few days ago. I am not certain if this was billed or cash and carry, so we could be in for another crisis post about the horses going hungry as we get closer to the move out date. More on that anon.
I’m sure you all remember the pregnant mare with cancer that turned out to be not pregnant and or have cancer. Luckily for her, she was a rescue transfer recently but not before some questionable updates by HiCaliber. The pic of her in the pen is courtesy of a mole and I had that in my last post. The other two pics of her neck wound were from the update Manson posted of her right before she ended up going to the other rescue. Yes, her teeth had been done when she got to her new home, but the neck wound was not quite the same.
This is what the mare, now named Lily’s, neck wound looked like the day she arrived at TIER. This raises a few questions for me; mainly how long was she really at HiCaliber and when was that update really done? Why was it necessary to lie and deceive other than the mare’s wounds clearly got much worse since she was `rescued’ by HiCaliber. Thankfully, she’s in a good place now and under the care of a 100% vet. You can follow her progress on TIER’s Facebook page.
As much as it irks me to do so, we need to address some of Mags’s antics as of late. As most of you know, she’s one of the more vocal cockblockers as it pertains to stopping the abuses at HiCaliber. Nobody is entirely sure why that is other than maybe it’s because she didn’t get to break the story and her feelers go hurt. Thankfully, her efforts have mostly had the effect of flies buzzing around a picnic table. Hella annoying but they really don’t stop you from having your meal. Know what I’m sayin? Anyhow, many of us `haters’ have been accused of dragging Manson’s kids into things even though I have seen very little of that. I’ve seen concern for them voiced, but by and large, people mostly leave them out of things even when Manson exploits them in her fundraising efforts. Not so for Mags. Without any actual knowledge and despite never having actually met Manson or her spawn, she’s trashing the father of the boy and then oversharing about her own family sitch, WTH? It is probably safe to assume that Mags’ info comes from Angrid, if not Manson herself, as those seem to be her HiCaliber connections. Of course getting the story straight doesn’t really seem to be a thing for Mags.
Many of you know that Mags wrote a little piece on the half-brother of Zenyatta being found at auction in not so great shape. She’s been self promoting it all over likely in hopes of another honorable mention certificate or something. I think that’s probably the equivalent of a participation ribbon considering you have to submit your own work in the first place, but that’s an issue for another day. We’re certainly used to Mags turning a blind eye to facts and proof as far as the HiCaliber saga goes but apparently that carries over to her professional career too. She clearly stated in her article that Zenyatta’s sister, Balance was a Breeders Cup Distaff winner. That is categorically false information and she was obviously called on it.
As you can see, Mags edited out her false information. Unfortunately she seemed to be stuck on the cliché `bluest of racing blood’ statement and left that part in there. Maybe she thinks it ads some flavor to her grade school book report style of writing. The perplexing part of the misfire was that it was a relatively easy fact to check. Anybody can run a horse’s name through Equibase and get their stats. I would call it sloppy journalism but even that is a stretch. The whole `story’ actually broke on the OTTB Connect Facebook page and was available to anybody to write and follow up on. Not much digging or investigative skills at play here. Investigating and digging doesn’t seem to be a thing with Mags either though.
This is the part that really isn’t much to do with HiCaliber aside from Mags. Dina Alborano is a kill pen dipper that kinda burst onto the scene this past year. Her `big saves’were eerily reminiscent of the OTTB20 debacle and even people who didn’t follow that particular mess had some serious concerns. I strongly urge people to read up on exactly what the issues are and how it’s all unfolded here. Naturally, Mags was originally Dina’s biggest supporter and spent a lot of time on Facebook singing her praises and supporting her. I actually hadn’t even seen these screen shots until recently but clearly I was on Mags mind. At least I think I was. Maybe it was JM on her mind thinking it was me. It’s all so confusing and could give a person an identity crisis when they are constantly being told they are somebody they are not. Mostly I’m offended that she thinks I’m blonde. Not that there is anything wrong with being blonde, it just doesn’t really suit my skin tone.
Flash forward to the present and Mags has become a Dina hater. The very same person she was proud to know and so staunchly defended. I’m thinking a lot of this has to do with the fact that so many industry heavy hitters have spoken out against Dina’s organization but it clearly shows that Mags doesn’t quite gather all the facts before she goes off on something or supports an organization. Not surprising in the least given whose word she claimed changed her opinon of HiCaliber *cough*JennyEarhart*cough*. If Mags truly was concerned about the welfare of these horses, and given her recent behavior, she would stand down and let the real horsemen and women handle this. Given her past praises and support of Dina, her involvement at this point is a detriment to what true advocates are trying to accomplish.
Somebody should ask Mags what her hands on involvement with the Borell horses was. From what I understand, she didn’t even bother to go see them when she went to Kentucky to pick up her prize money. For sure she didn’t clean any stalls, brush or anything. I’m also fairly certain that Maria Borell has yet to answer for what she has done or even been arrested.
Apparently self-awareness is not a thing with Mags either. At least she brings the comedy whether she means to or not. Let’s move on…
I’ve had this in my inbox for a few days. To be honest, I wanted to sit on it until we could get it all confirmed but since it’s being loudly whispered about, here it is. I would caution people not to get too excited about this. Given the dates involved and the fact that the charges are against Manson as an individual, this is likely nothing to do with the AG or much more than traffic violations or unpaid fines. I feel like such a fun ruiner for even saying that, but it is what it is. I hope I’m wrong.
As I leave things this week, we are still waiting for updates on which horses need adopting. While Manson creates the sense of crisis that has worked so well to raise funds in the past, it’s not gone unnoticed that she hasn’t lifted a finger towards finding the remaining horses homes. The horses only really get mentioned to further her agenda. While we’re at it, what ever happened to those skinny and battered horses she posted about nearly a month ago? With only minimal funds raised, they seemed to have vanished like a fart in the wind. No other rescues in Manson’s area have reported being called about them either. Why aren’t the village demanding to know where they are and what happened? I really wish I had the answers to all these questions. Hopefully, the next few weeks will bring those answers but I won’t be holding my breath. Stay the course though. Then end is in sight.
We are not amused. To be clear, by `we’ I am referring to the royal `we’ although I fully expect that to fly right over most heads. I especially expect it to fly over those of the village idiots, and much ado will be made of nothing as is the usual reaction from them. Anyhow, back to me and my disgust… I was off resting on my laurels figuring the bulk of what I set out to do with HiCaliber was either accomplished or in the works. It’s been kinda nice reclaiming my personal time and not having to have The Manson Family in my thoughts most of my waking hours. Sadly, it seems that HiCaliber will not go quietly into the night and the death throes drag on. That also means that horses are still getting shot for no good reason, lies are being told and, once again, I feel compelled to lay down an update. So, for old times sake and posterity, let’s pull up a chair, pop the cork, twist the cap or whatever and deal with the never ending shit show that is HiCaliber. This is going to hop around a bit today mostly because I can’t be arsed to make things linear and I do what I want. Buckle up!
It seems that Manson has been making an effort to clean up the mountains of manure from the ranch property in recent weeks. The timing is weird, but better late than never. Sadly, this entails loading the manure up and trailering it over to a neighboring property. All this was witnessed by somebody that was visiting the ranch. According to this source they gained access to this property off Calle Oro and through T-posts and rolled up fencing. The property in question has goats and chickens within view of the road. HiCaliber wasn’t being overly secretive or stealth about doing this so perhaps the neighbor is ok with having their diseased waste trucked over to his place. It’s probably better than how they used to just shove it over onto public land. I wonder if the county knows?
That’s right, for the minor sum of only $40 you too can learn breeds, colors and markings from the very same person that thinks horses have back knees and has no clue about how to eyeball a height on an animal. If you’re super lucky, Manson may make a cameo appearance and show us how to find a dorsal stripe by looking underneath a horse or how a foal that does not have black points may shed buckskin.
Not content to spread misinformation on that which can be easily googled, Amanduh continues to teach unsuspecting people to ride as poorly as she does. Apparently proper footwear is optional as is adjusting stirrups to the appropriate lengths. I also learned that riding a dead lame horse was also fine because it’s what he loves it and he is depressed otherwise. I’m sure that standing in a small stall 24/7 while getting eaten alive by flies and choking for water has nothing to do with his depression though. Don’t get me started on the whole `gait regulation’ and how you use your seat by not having it in the saddle. I’m sure glad Amanduh is on the job to tell us what `real’ horsemen do.
I’m sure that anybody that has been following this on any level knows about the Valley Center Western Days Parade clusterfuck that has gone down over the last week. It has caused beans to be flicked on both sides of the fence as nearly everybody has gotten their drama boots on and waded right in. Minor children were bullied and ridiculed, lies were told and all around fuckery ensued. I’m not even going to bother rehashing it all. I think it’s important to put the actual facts out though. The reason why horse people are concerned with HiCaliber being in the parade was the risk to their own horses. Manson may think Strangles is `no big deal’ but most horse people know better.
Here are some screen shots and emails clearly showing there has been an ongoing Strangles issue at HiCaliber for well over a year. It also clearly shows that Manson was not only aware of it but so is her adoption team as they were addressing it in recent contracts. Remember that the initial order from the Western Days committee was that no horse exposed to Strangles within the last 12 months would be allowed to be in the parade. Sadly, knowing the Manson Family, they would have likely worked around that claiming the horses they were riding weren’t exposed and that’s where a lot of the concern was for many people. I know that Manson claims they have `major’ biosecurity measures in place. How does she really even know considering she rarely waltzes her happy ass to the more remote areas of the ranch?
This screenshot was from one of their private groups and was posted about a week ago. One of their regular volunteers described her day at HiCaliber. What I want people to notice is the order of paddocks she visits, clearly admitting to `petting and scratching’ horses as she went around the property. AFTER visiting the QT/Vineyard area, she went to the nursery letting them smell her and petting them, on to North herd where she stopped to pet more and then to South herd and Rivers Run. THIS is just an example of why people do not trust the biosecurity at HiCaliber or want their own horses exposed to HiCaliber horses and it’s valid. What I find saddest of all is that this small community has had to deal with all this drama and complete fuckery when they are just trying to hold a family event.
It’s a real shame things even had to go his far as it is a complete dick move to knowingly spread Strangles or any other disease around. I actually don’t even get what the big fuss about being in the parade is for HiCaliber. Judging by pics of the recent parade they were in and other past performances, it’s not a great advertisment for them or their horses. You have Manson riding horses that are far too small for her, none of them are groomed and even the riders look raggedy. Their time would be far better spent at home grooming and feeding their animals and if they must go in the parade, then walk the route holding a sign or drive the golf carts or something. Just give these poor horses a break because they all look horrible and nobody needs to see Manson doing a 2 point starfish while spilling out of her saddle and sexually harassing anything and everything that crosses her path. For crying out loud it doesn’t even look like they bothered to clean their tack or dust off their boots. I suppose we’re going to have to replay this all again as Manson is planning on riding in the July 14th San Diego Pride Parade despite the fact she has said she plans to close down by June 30th. I’m sure Manson’s criminal defense attorney, Mr. Fancy Socks, will fight for their right to party though.
One of the features of Parade-gate was good ole Mags charging into the middle of things and basically losing her shit. Actually, not basically, completely losing her shit and as of this writing, the meltdown continues. Because the default setting of Mags and the village idiots is to cry `bully’ and point fingers without realizing that every time they do so, three fingers are pointing right back at them, they decided to bully a 14 year old girl that has NOTHING to do with any of the HiCaliber drama beyond a genuine concern about riding her own horse in the parade. When her concerned father stood up for her and brought it right to the source, all hell broke loose and Mags called him a `shitty parent’ for doing so. Given her partner’s past criminal charges to do with his own child, I guess Mags isn’t in a position to judge anybody on their parenting skills. It was also at this point that Mags appears to have lost her tenuous grip on her sanity as she heaved herself up on the cross and played the victim card for all it was worth claiming to be the victim of bullying.
Where do I even start? Margaret, you need to get your money back. Seriously and on all that I hold dear, you are barking up the wrong tree. In fact, the tree your barking up isn’t even in the right time zone. YOU are the bully. You have been told over and over again, you are wrong and you continue to lie about having proof. By all means go to court. I won’t be there, but the people you are targeting as me have a very strong case against you. You have torn people to shreds thinking they are me, you have attempted to discredit me and maligned everything I write. Tit for tat, Mags. Not my fault you self identified when I originally posted a blind item about you. I think a year long temper tantrum is a bit excessive and had you actually hired a PI to find out who I was, that’s boil a bunny level creepy. Your back pedal game is super strong though…BTW the AG investigation, along with the multiple other agencies, is ongoing and Manson has been cleared of nothing.
This one made me laugh. Little hint for Mags though, even wordpress doesn’t have my actual identity. By all means though, go on with your bad self and the court orders and PIs. LOL.
From what I can gather, Mags is not well versed on animal advocacy. She seems to have zero clue who the players are and what people’s credentials actually are. Funny how it’s not bullying when Margaret spreads untruths and mocks people’s misfortunes though. I could tear Mags’s personal advocacy claims to absolute shreds but a) what would be the point? and b) I have too much respect for the sources of my intel. It doesn’t matter anyhow as there is no law that says Mags has to respect TC and there is certainly no law that says anybody has to respect Mags or believe anything she says.
I’m not sure if all this is in order, but Mags made a dramatic post. I can only imagine it was actually put up to inspire people to talk her out of leaving because she hardly even took a break from posting. It was telling that it was mostly village idiots that told her not to go and the racing community remained silent. It was also kinda weird how she went full bully after making this post and really didn’t appreciate having the mirror held up to her own face.
You know what I find funny? I haven’t posted for weeks and she’s still obsessed with me. I think the regular readers here can attest that even my comments have been sporadic and mostly late at night. For sure D can attest that I haven’t been around all that much lately. I also am highly amused given the fact that Mags has posted in private groups about how little my opinion matters and if you want to see screen shots of that along with Mags admitting she really doesn’t know who writes this blog, you can refresh your memory in Writing On The Wall…With Crayons!
Mags didn’t appreciate having her own hypocrisy pointed out to her it seems. It also seems that even what remains of her own friends have tried to point out to her that she’s off on a tangent. If anything, Mags picked up steam after this exchange even though she deleted Abby’s comments.
Here we have anti-bullying warrior Mags bullying people. I’m not sure if she is daring Jennifer to blog about her or she’s daring me, but since I’m the one with a blog and I do love a good dare… I’m not entirely sure what the $100 letter is or why we’re talking bankruptcy but given the fact that Mags’s legal counsel has so far been Angrid, who is not even a member of the California bar, she’s probably not in a position to throw darts here. I’m also not sure how somebody that has to run gofundme campaigns to pay her vet bills and so her partner can buy a used van can afford to hire PIs. Like I said, she needs to get her money back. I have a shitload more screen shots I could post showing Mags bullying people, calling names and lying, but what’s the point? If they haven’t learned by now, I do what I want, I post what I want and if they continue to poke me in the chest, they will continue to get negative attention. Let’s move on.
This is a video where Manson tells another pack of lies. The person she is talking about is Salvador Paniagua. This would be the same guy who she used to refer to as `the worst of the worst’ and has claimed there is a language barrier with. He is a known tripper and the incident with FHR she is referring to is well documented. He showed up at Mike’s auction with 7 completely mangled horses that had been tripped and demanded $250 each for. Rather than pay his ransom, FHR called in AC and they suggested that he take $100 each. It should be noted that none of these horses were in acceptable enough condition to actually be run through auction. Once the horses started being transferred off Salvador’s trailer and it became apparent how bad of shape they were in, FHR offered $600 for all 7 horses just to get them safe and it was accepted. All but two horses were too badly injured to save and after being seen by a real vet, they were humanely euthanized. That is the truth of the situation rather than Manson’s version of events. It’s also what a true rescue and advocate would have done. Manson bought a load of tripped horses off Salvador just this past January and rather than call AC, she arranged to meet him and pay his ransom. She also shot the horses herself rather than letting them see a vet. I should probably mention that Manson and her village idiots mocked FHR and made an issue about them having to put down the 5 horses from Salvador.
Owens Intake February/18
Owens May/18
Owens is one of the pasture puffs awaiting adoption at HiCaliber. As is obvious from the pictures above, he’s losing condition despite Amanduh’s claims he has put on lots of weight. I’m not seeing it.
Before I get onto the last few things, I thought a little comic relief from Ficehole would be appropriate. Now, I’m certainly no computer whiz, but I have noticed that when I google something or look at certain web pages, the ads Facebook shows me usually have something to do with that. I’m guessing it’s something to do with cookies or something. I can also say that Facebook has never shown me drug paraphenalia ads or anything remotely close and that’s probably because I a) don’t do drugs and b) don’t google drugs. The fact that Fice has meth pipes coming up on his feed is both funny and telling. The fact that he’s indignant about it is hilarious.
Nathalie is one of the newer Manson Family members and ranch residents. Manson has mentioned several times that she is from Norway or The Netherlands or some place like that and that she is visiting. Since moving in with Manson it seems she is doing a bit more than visiting and actually acting as a front for flipping Manson’s personal project horses. Buddy the Peruvian Paso is actually the horse Manson bought for herself and promptly named Foreskin. Buddy also seems to have severely dropped pasterns and I’m not sure how any of the HiCaliber gunsels know what `gaiting beautifully’ is when they usually diagnose them as neuro and shoot them in the face when they are gaited. I also recall some other Peruvians who were shot in the head for having dropped pasterns within days of their arrival at HiCaliber. I guess they didn’t figure they could squeeze the last few pennies out of those horses. I’m sure having a rider much top large on him, isn’t helping Buddy with his pastern issues either. It seems Nathalie is also `adopting’ HiCaliber horses and is the new owner of Ryland. I wonder if wheeling, dealing, grifting and working under the table is something her visitor visa allows? Maybe Miss Homeland Security aka Angrid would know.
Remember the $25 `mare’ at auction and the legendary rant that Wrinkles went on? The same horse that turned out to be a gelding and had actually been purchased by an advocate? His name is Don Q and the above pics are of him in his new home. They were taken within the last week or so. Don Q is the one with the one white sock. His buddies are Hickory, who is also blind and came from a hoarding situation in another state, and Sarge who is toothless and ancient and came from FHR. All three horses are living the good life and are very loved. I’m also told that Don Q no longer has shoes on so Wrinkles can stop worrying about that as well. Too bad Manson won’t allow horses to be adopted by `haters’ because this advocate has a fondness for puffs. I hear she likes them even more than she likes blue water bottles.
Manson has put out a few posts saying they are nearly out of hay or they can’t pay for a load that just came. I guess she spent all her money on sending her criminal defesne attorney to meetings to fight for her `constitutional right’ to spread Strangles ride in a parade. While she claims to have adopted out several horses in the past few weeks, her feed bill seems to be about the same. None of the village idiots bother to question that just like they don’t realize that while she is dumping horses right, left and center, she is bringing news ones back to the ranch at nearly the same rate. The only difference is that she’s not telling her village about them or bothering to give them names which makes it all the easier for them to vanish off the face of the earth. Not exactly the actions of somebody that is closing their doors, but more the action of somebody that is transitioning to become a full on flipper. I know I sound like a broken record, but Manson is not going to exit quietly or quickly. Hell, we’ve already passed the window for this to be quick at least a month ago. I guess there is always that one guest that doesn’t know when it’s time to leave the party, right?
When I resurrected this blog, I never thought I’d be here a year later still dealing with this shit. I certainly never wanted to be anybody’s leader or even a point person. I just wanted to get some things off my chest and document what I saw as a trainwreck in the making. I’ve been in this advocacy game for a while and if I know anything, I know it’s far better to head off a trainwreck than clean one up. It’s also nearly impossible to head them off for just the reasons we have seen played out this past week alone. Even though I am in the horse industry and have been my whole life, I know it attracts crazy. Add social media to that mix and you have a whole other level of nuts. What I saw this past week was local horse people genuinely concerned for their own animals and trying to do something about it through proper channels. I also saw several people on both sides of the fence insert themselves into the situation for the sake of drama. It was gross. It’s also not something I wish to participate in. I’m busy in my life and I have zero time for social media flame wars. That being said, I’m not going to drop this issue either. As I have said all along, I will stay the course and see things through. I don’t care who wants to grab credit or be a hero once the dust settles. That was never my goal. I just want to save some horses. Maybe it’s time for some people to ask themselves what they are in this for.
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.
If the last post pissed you off or wasn’t your thing, it might be best to scroll through to the bottom half of this one. It seems I have some `leftovers’ that need to be dealt with. For months now, I have attempted to mostly take the high road in regards to a lot of behind the scenes stuff I have been aware of. I’ve attempted to keep the focus on the end game despite several threats and moves to block that. Aside from occassionally rolling up the proverbial newspaper and smacking people on the nose when things got out of hand, I didn’t give much time to the attempted blockers. With the blessing of fellow advocates that have been taking hits on my behalf, we have kept moving forward towards getting some relief for and putting an end to the exploitation of all the animals acquired by HiCaliber. However, the closer we get to that end, the more vicious and outrageous the attacks have become and I have finally reached my tipping point. The last post was calculated and it did, in fact, hit the mark. It kicked off a round of tantrums, threats and pure asshattery, the likes of which I have never seen supposedly grown adults engage in. I’m disgusted, I feel unclean having to read them and I’ve finally had enough. More than enough, actually. I am nothing if not loyal to my fellow advocates and for the ones that have been bullied in my place I am `going there’ today, with their blessings. I won’t even say it’s the last time because I will no longer stand for the targeted harassment of innocent parties. So, for my long time readers, please forgive me. We’ll be back to our regular scheduled blogging in the second half of this post. For the rest of you that like tea, settle in because a bunch is about to be spilled with receipts.
To refresh everybody’s memories, I posted some stuff from Mags and Pasterfuck’s super secret group in the last post. I had been watching them for a while before I posted the things about Barbara Benson and I did so in consultation with her. As we all predicted, the meltdown was nearly instantaneous and, to use a Pasterfuckism, it was epic. I swear they take shifts monitoring any and all social media 24/7. I particularly enjoyed Pasterfuck naming off all his private groups he was in charge of at the time. We’ll get to that in more detail later. Amberloser, being a rocket scientist, blames it all on the Horror Girls for whatever reason. I think it’s been pretty clear I don’t have any real ties to them and haven’t for quite some time, so I’m not really sure why they got brought up. What I did not calculate was how stupid these people can be and how invested they are in all of this drama with no concern for the animals involved. Unfortunately, rather than the fallout from that post splattering on myself, they went hard after Jennifer Marek yet again. Because I truly like and respect Jennifer as a fellow advocate and because she has taken far more than her share of hits on my behalf, I feel the need to leak some more…with her blessing.
As is her usual schtick, Mags went into a public and private posting frenzy to show how unbothered she was and to further target Jennifer Marek. She also attempted to get the pictures from the last blog pulled down to no avail and perjured herself in the process. It was request denied due to it falling under fair use. I was somewhat curious as to what letters she sent to Not Me, but I didn’t have to wait long to find that out either.
Threats
Please do
Credible threat of violence from Pasterfuck
Mags openly admitting she really doesn’t know who writes the blog but is targeting Jennifer anyhow
So, to break this down short and sweet, there is the letter Marg claims to have sent Jennifer Marek. I, personally, have not received anything other than my monthly bills in my mailbox for weeks except for an Amazon package which was a book I ordered. I can’t speak for Jennifer since I don’t even live in the same time zone. If you want to follow Marg’s links in the letter, it is easy to see I never initially identified her. I simply put a request out, based on screen shots I was sent, that she stop trying to pass herself off as me or at least allowing people to think she was me. You can read about that here. Since I wrote that blog, Mags and Pasterfuck have been relentless in their pursuit of who I am, including Pasterfuck offering to pay for that information, egged on by Mags. They basically outed themselves and self identified as Mags and Pasterfuck. I can’t even lay claim to coming up with the `Maggot Rancid’ name since I didn’t coin it or even use it initially. However if they would rather I use their given names so all this information is easier to google for people, I’m more than happy to oblige. I made sure to tag them both in this post because I’m helpful like that. There was even a time they were completely convinced I was Teresa Cook. I’m not. The emails up above are between Angrid and Teresa, who shared them with me. Angrid, who is not a member of the California Bar, probably shouldn’t be `helping’ or advising anybody in a legal capacity. I have screen shots of her asking for people to send all this info and other things to her from this blog as well as saying how she printed it all out. The emails above were part of an entire email exchange where Angrid and Mags ganged up on TC in a particularly disgusting way, calling her names and ridiculing her. For some reason, like she always does, Mags felt the need to give us her resume in that letter , which still fails to impress and ends the whole thing with blackmail. Awesome. Target an innocent person and demand 10k or you’ll sue them. I’m pretty sure that is a felony offense in the state of California. Good thing Angrid was helping her out with that! I hope she does go to court, because the countersuit will be a slam dunk should Jennifer elect to file one. I have several more screen shots from over the past year of Mags claiming how insignificant my blog is and how it had no affect on her work as well. Kinda strange that she claims in a letter that all this damage was done when she thinks she can make some money off it. Also, just to keep things current and because I know this sticks in her craw, Mags undershot the views of this blog by more than half. I’m well over 2 million now. (ps. Mags, I was kind enough to redact you and Jennifer’s addresses along with your phone number and email address. A courtesy you did not extend Jennifer yourself, instead posting her home address in a private group of people who are actively digging up information and targeting others).
Before I get to some other bullying, this is another email Angrid sent Teresa Cook on the 13th. She clearly requested my email address. I’m not sure why she did because it’s never been a secret. shedrowconfessions@gmail.com. Both Twinkie and Ton Loc Mags and Pasterfuck have emailed me in the past so she could have just asked them. Anyhoo, shortly after she requested my email address somebody mysteriously filed a takedown notice on my own blog and on my behalf using that email address on the form. WordPress is a super awesome platform and they let you know about these things right away. It took about 30 seconds to get that straightened out. I guess I should be thankful they have taken a break from trying to hack my passwords for now.
There is just so much hypocrisy and crazy in these screen shots. Marg admitting she doesn’t care and saying nobody reads my blog which is kinda contrary to what she claims in her letter to Jennifer Marek. Then some of them go after Teresa Cook for whatever reason. Both these ladies, as I’m sure most of you know, are very well-known and respected advocates that have been in the trenches with the slaughter issue, along with many others, for a very long time. The fact that Dixie moderates this blog is neither new or a secret. She has done so since February when I was away for a bit. I am still the only writer and have been since 2012. Any guest posts have been clearly marked as such. The reason the writing changed with the guest posts is because they are GUEST posts, as in I didn’t write them. That’s how it works. I’ve always been accused of being different people since the very beginning. Back in the Sue Wallis days I was even accused of being a man for a bit. One of the best screen shots in this series is Pasterfuck wanting to get his subpoena on. Not sure how Pasterfuck is going to subpoena anybody. The court has to issue those. Maybe they better call up Angrid again for some of that legal help. Notice that Marg swears she doesn’t do Baby Horror only. I always knew she didn’t do that page but she sure was careful not to mention the pages she does do.
Here we have these people, who claim to be so against bullying, making plans to target other rescues. They also have plans to target and dig information on individuals too. Pasterfuck planned to devote his weekend into planning out his attack on `hater’ rescues. It doesn’t matter how well they take care of their animals, it doesn’t matter how ethical they are, if they have ever questioned HiCaliber, Pasterfuck and his group are going to try to take them down. WTF? Then you have Mags taking issue with somebody who put a horse down yet never says shit when Manson blasts away at least two a week, every single week and usually for no good reason. I don’t even know what horse or situation she is talking about with the other rescue and I’ll guarantee you Mags doesn’t either because even though she lives in the SoCal area, far be it for her to get off her ass and actually go check things out for herself. These rescues that they are targeting all had their own interactions and dealings with HiCaliber. They are within their rights to talk about that good, bad or indifferent. Manson certainly has no problems talking shit about other organizations. If this isn’t an attempt at bullying people into silence and retaliation, I don’t know what is. Disgusting.
Pasterfuck has made it his personal mission to get Blankround taken down. Again. I find it ironic that a male ( I won’t call him a man) that has been arrested for domestic violence, threatened to punch women in the throat on live feed, and other bullying behaviors, has the audacity to call another man, who has publically stuck up for various women that Pasterfuck has attacked, a mysoginist. I also don’t really get it because Blankround doesn’t really do a bunch other than insult them. You know the old saying that what other people think of you is none of your business. One thing nobody has ever accused Pasterfuck of is having any self-awareness.
Rescues and private citizens aren’t their only targets. They plan to take down Dr. Moore too. I’ll be honest and say that Dr. Moore and I haven’t always agreed on how to go about things, but make no mistake, I respect her as a veterinarian and an advocate for the welfare of horses. I don’t care really care about anything else beyond that. We may not work together but we work towards a common goal here. They don’t even seem to have an issue with Dr. Moore’s knowledge or level of care. How would any of them even know if they don’t use her? They don’t like that Dr. Moore speaks out for the animals. You know, the ones that don’t have a voice of their own.
It seems that Pasterfuck and Mags aren’t the only bullies. Amberloser is also a huge bully or at least tries to be. She is also going to target Mea Ola’s Place and try to bully Ann into silence. I guess she doesn’t know Ann very well. Oh well, in Amberloser’s world, just because she says something doesn’t mean she has to back up her shit. She claims to have moles everywhere. Girl, you need to get new moles. Truly. Protip: Real moles don’t use Facebook to discuss their strategies and intel. The bigger your inner circle the more leaks you probably have. That protip wasn’t just for the village idiots btw.
Here we see the secret group eating one of their own. A few of their own actually. They go after Rene for being a mole. I choked on my coffee and jetted it right out my nose when I read that. Rene has actually sent me hate mail recently. I have ranked on her over and over again. Safe to say she hates me. I’m not even sure who Emily is. Either way ladies, the welcome mat is out. Have your people, call my people.
I literally can’t even with these people. Really, they are going to bring up Travis’s mother? The reason so many advocates know her is because she’s an advocate too. In fact, she used to be pretty pro HiCaliber and that helped get them into their current property in the first place. Obviously that was before Manson decided to be a complete shit to her. Now they are trying to bully people away from buying a property. I’m sure that will go over a treat with the owner. You have Amberloser making more threats to dig up things on people and then you have Ole Sheila posting from her glass house. I wonder how she’d like it if I posted her brother’s mug shots and the reason he’s in prison accompanied by the fact that she DEFENDS what he did. Amberloser doesn’t want her business, friends and family contacted but she’s perfectly fine with putting that on blast for anybody she deems a hater.
This is a sampling of the various fundraising efforts that went on during HiCaliber’s suspension from the Attorney General. There are many more screen shots complete with the time and dates stamps in my possession as well. `Sandra Milstein’ which is said to be Manson and/or Angrid is involved too. It’s actually kind perplexing to me how dumb some people are to hang their asses out on Facebook like they do.
I don’t know why this amuses me so much. If you notice a common theme with all of them, it’s that horses are rarely ever mentioned. It’s all about attaching themselves to Manson’s drama and being keyboard warriors.
Here they all are fighting among themselves apparently. I guess with HiCaliber lying low on social media for a bit, they had to eat their own for their drama fix. My favorite part of it is Mags, who is going to write the article on bullying, talking about humiliating people online. So many pots and kettles here!
You have to understand the layers and layers of private and secret groups these people have. Only a select few get to be in all of them. Poor Izabelle tries super hard to be a good foot shoulder but she has trouble keeping track of the lies or maybe her mind just doesn’t work that way. At any rate, the ones she thinks are her comrades in arms, like to talk shit about her in their bat cave. Izabelle Kapp, come on down! I swear I feel like I’m playing Red Rover with these people lately.
Ok, all you drama adverse people can come back now. We’re going to return to our regular scheduled blogging starting with last Friday when HiCaliber finally got their suspension lifted from the AG. Naturally, this prompted a drunken Fireball party, complete with Manson rolling around in her spilled drinks and food while eating salsa off the ground. Village idiots sent money for Manson to drink even more as Wrinkles slurred for the camera and others danced inappropriately in the background before getting in their vehicles to presumably drive home after drinking. Classy. What I need everybody to realize is that this doesn’t mean they are cleared of anything. The only thing that changed is HiCaliber finally filed their 2016 taxes and got out of delinquency. This has nothing to do with their audit or all the other things going on. Their original PayPal accounts are still frozen. We expected this.
One of the funnier parts of the festivities was a very drunk Wrinkles asking Morgan from Pet Matchmaker about HiCaliber Haven only to be told she was long dead. That wasn’t news to almost anybody but Wrinkles and was only funny because Wrinkles claimed she was her favorite horse. This was followed by Wrinkles having no clue or memory of the other horses they had dumped off Pet Matchmaker’s way over the past 10 months or so. Way to follow up on those adoptions!
Chiefy
Chiefy
Tying a horse to herself
R
Romney Fray and Braveheart
Rather than celebrate their ability to openly raise funds again by putting up some really good adoption videos, Manson elected to trail ride all weekend and once again, poor, skinny Braveheart was one of the victims, only this time he got to pack Romney Faye Baker. Romney Faye was showing off her own unique equitation stylings that I like to call the `Fetal Starfish’. Manson rode Chiefy the first day. The poor mare hadn’t been ridden in months and Manson figured taking her on a trail ride up an incline was a kind thing to do while bragging about `going toe to toe’ with her the day before. The mare was literally staggering as her ill-fitting halter slid down to further impede her breathing as she tried to pack Manson up the incline. Again, this horse is too small for Manson. Simple fact. The second day Manson decided to pick on Paxton and, because she’s a gunsel, tied her own horse to the saddle to pony along. You NEVER tie a horse to you. Maybe if you know what you’re doing and are riding a seasoned horse, you can do a half dally, but only a complete moron would tie a horse to their horn. As it was, Manson managed to fall off her horse while he was standing still, followed by RFB nearly getting wiped off Braveheart while she shrieked and continued to stay live. Because of this, I had this nice HiCaliber Horsemanship clip put together which includes wrong lead Amanduh, JonASSthan getting dumped in the river last week and then Manson nearly getting tagged as she yanks on a stallion’s junk. Good times! Who didn’t have a good time is the horses that had to haul everybody’s asses on these trail rides. They were all quite sweaty when they returned to the trailer and not a single one was offered a drink or had their sweat marks brushed before being thrown into the trailer for the long ride home while Manson likely did her usual fast food drive thru crawl.
Dane wasn’t on the trail rides this past weekend, but he does get picked on too. He’s the horse with the droopy face they got not so long ago at auction. Now, I’m not sure about everybody else, but if I had a horse with nerve damage in his face I would not ever put a thin rope knotty halter on him for any reason let alone to ride him. If anything, I’d only put an open bridle to minimize the pain to his face which, despite some paralysis, is likely even more sensitive than a regular horse’s. It’s this kind lack of empathy that never ceases to amaze me. At any rate, Dane needs an upgrade in the worst way but chances are, now that he’s hauled Manson’s ass around without dumping her, he will have a ridiculous adoption fee attached.
Denali just off the trailer from Louisiana
Denali 10 months later at her new `rescue’
I thought it might be nice to do a R2R update on one of the Louisiana horses that nobody thinks to ask after anymore. She was a rescue transfer and went to her new home within a week or so after arriving from Louisiana. The picture on the left is what she looked like right after arriving from Louisiana. She was still in foal but in decent flesh. The picture on the right is what she looks like now. She’s still at the other `rescue’ who has been partnering more and more with HiCaliber lately. They have also taken a page out of their book and started to buy direct from Bubba and put up crisis fundraising posts. As anybody can clearly see, Denali, now named Savannah, is not thriving at rescue even months after foaling. I don’t even have the energy to post the `training’ videos where they tie up feet on horses to teach them to pick them up or something. I swear I’m losing my religion with this kinda thing.
Tanner
Last week Romney Faye, figuring the coast was clear now that HiCaliber can fund raise again, slithered out from under her rock to tug at the village heart-strings by reminding us that her son had passed away a year ago. She also mentioned that while he didn’t dig horses in general, he`connected’ with his namesake foal, Tanner. I’ve seen lots of people asking for updates on Tanner lately, especially since the last pic we saw of him was with a draining abscess under his jaw. The above pic was taken the day after Romney Faye had spent the weekend at the ranch. Not only did nobody see her go near Tanner the horse, it is pretty clear this little horse hasn’t seen a brush or any kind of attention in quite some time. It seems like I’ve said a million times that I feel badly for anybody that loses a child. That’s not the natural order of things. Nobody is making light of the situation no matter how they try to spin it. Maybe we’re just not comfortable seeing a tragedy used as a fundraising ploy. At any rate, a personal tragedy does not absolve somebody from being an asshole nor will it excuse RFB from her part things when this all comes crashing down.
I’m not sure who this little horse is. Cleary he’s not in QT, yet he appears skinny with wind knots in his mane. He also seems to be eating manure.
Unknown grey horse with a scab of some sort under his jaw.
Eclipse remains in decent flesh and finally has those godawful wraps off her legs at least to be ridden but looking at this picture, I predict may be body sore in the immediate future. Let’s hope she is one of those horses that is stoic when in pain rather than becoming behavioral as a result. Amanduh did mention in a recent video she was hurting after her ride. The concept of bringing horses gently back into work after they have stood in small enclosures for months on end, seems to be too difficult for the HiCaliber crew to grasp.
Both the top pictures were taken of Braveheart within the past week with the one on the right being the more recent. He paces a lot and they ride the shit out of him. Not exactly a recipe for putting weight on a horse. They decided to show him off in their recent grifting video complete with absolutely filthy water tubs as he paced back and forth in his pen. I can’t say that’s a huge surprise considering he’s directly across from a couple of mares, at least one of whom they laughed about the fact she’s constantly `winking’ at him. He’s only recently been gelded. If I had to guess, Braveheart’s life has gotten quite a bit worse since he had the misfortune of being `rescued’.
Magnum continues to show signs of being bloated and malnourished on their most recent video. Of course the Manson family think he’s chubby and have informed the village idiots that they should think so too. He was out in the arena as Amanduh’s young Heeler tormented both foals and came close to getting her teeth kicked in a few times. Of course this was very funny to Amanduh and Wrinkles. That might possibly be because they have visions of the gofundme windfall that will happen when the pup actually does get kicked and they can go live from the emergency vet clinic and beg for money.
As part of their Griftapalooza 2018 to make back the alleged deficit, Manson went out and manifested some seriously jacked up horses from her usual friends. In at least two cases, we were supposed to suspend belief and think that they would actually be accepted to run through Mike’s last night in their condition. The two in the worst shape seemed to come from the same known location.
Of the unfortunate four mentioned above, this mare turned up on the roadside in Norco being paraded around for donations. She had been hauled there from her original location by Manson. From the video, it appears that trimming her feet would go a long way to getting her comfortable. I can’t say for certain if she was given that chance or if she is currently in a landfill Manson’s trigger finger has been pretty itchy lately.
Original location
Manson’s trailer and TB mare’s feet in background
Hard to know what part of this to comment on first. This was the second tribute of the two that showed up on the side of the road in Norco with Manson. I guess I can state the obvious and say that this mare’s injuries are consistent with having been tripped. Left leg blown up with scraped up knees, scraped face and what appears to be a broken right shoulder. Just because she has 4 shoes on doesn’t mean she wasn’t tripped. They get these horses free off Craigslist or next to nothing at shitholes like Ontario, trip them and get rid of them. HiCaliber has rewarded all this by paying the trippers to cover their asses and get rid of their `trash’. Then you have HiCaliber claiming they need a new name because this mare’s was `offensive and ugly’. I gotta wonder how bad it was considering Manson recently named a horse `Foreskin’. The biggest lie there was good ole volunteer Johanna asking if people seriously wanted her to be transferred and transported elsewhere in her condition? Why not? Manson transported her and her OTTB buddy to Norco to show them off on the side of the road. The trailer is clearly visible in the background with the other mare’s hooves in the pic too. As far as where they picked them up, let’s just say I’m aware of where they got the mares and where the other two horses are too. We don’t have word on whether Manson, Wrinkles and Romney Faye shot this mare before they went to the wedding or if she got to stand in the trailer and wait for them to get their drink on. We likely will never know.
Floofy was a branded Mustang. Originally they said he was 10 to 12 and they did not own him, but for whatever reason they aged him by a bunch more on the website and came to own him. They also said he was a compassion pull to begin with but a few days later, they said that he was comfortable and could go be a pasture puff. Barely a month later Manson shot him in the face. This was after cancelling an adoption on him. RIP Floofy. #sayhisname
Jupiter lasted even less time than Floofy after having the misfortune of being purchased by HiCaliber. They said he was a `little’ sore in his knees but didn’t indicate he was on death’s door. Honestly when you see what they transported and kept alive this weekend, how bad could this horse have been in comparison? At any rate and for whatever reason, Jupiter was also recently shot in the face. I wish I could tell you all why. RIP Jupiter. #sayhisname
I think that’s probably enough to digest for today. I realize I’ve been a bit more quiet than normal lately, but rest assured I have been no less busy with this stuff. The information still flows. However, the closer we get to the end of this journey, the more people seem to lose their minds and want to be heroes. Quite frankly, I’ve been kinda disgusted with the sparring back and forth that goes on over on Facebook. You rarely ever see horses mentioned on either side. Some people are in such a rush to be a hero, they can’t keep anything in their pants which makes a lot more work for some of us and puts the end results at risk too. It almost makes me wonder if supposed `haters’ actually want this to end or are just enjoying the drama and attention. Make no mistake that HiCaliber is in its death throes, but now is not the time to be complacent either. We are a long ways from rolling around in Fireball and salsa. I will continue to do what I do and keep people in the loop as warranted. My hope is that some of you, and I’m not talking about the people who comment here, can be a bit more responsible with the information that gets shared. This has been an immense and taxing amount of work for a core group of us for well over a year now and we’re not in it for the glory. True advocacy is never about that. I promise that when the fat lady finally sings, I’ll share how it all went down behind the scenes. I won’t do it for the glory, but so that the next time this happens somebody else can lead the charge. For now, please support the hard working and legitimate rescues in SoCal. We’re going to need every last one of them in the very near future…
This is going to be short and sweet today. I’m working on a bigger post with some updates that should be ready by the weekend but I have a little guest post for y’all today. Originally, I was going to put this open letter in that post, but I feel like given the absolute and extreme fuckery that has gone on the past few days, it needed its own spot. It’s not a long post, but it’s a good one. Before we get into the open letter part of things, I’m going to put a little context into what prompted this so that maybe others can see the level of bullying and paranoia that is actually being played out behind closed doors. I’m also going to bookend it some hypocrisy from the head shithead so please read all the screen shots. As always, thank you to our poster for saying your piece. I have nothing but respect for you. This one is fun!
I hope I have these mostly in order. It’s pretty easy to follow along anyhow. All the usual suspects are fixated on Barbara Benson and this was from auction just this past Tuesday courtesy of Maggot and Pasterfuck’s private bat cave. Make sure you read how they tear apart this person who dared to show up at auction. They even call her fat at one point and they aren’t content to tear just one person down, they rip apart anybody and everybody. Now that we’ve got some context, let’s get to the guest post part of the festivities…
Barbara’s property
Barbara’s rescues at her property
Dear Robyn, Suzanne, Margaret, Michelle Parsons, good ole Nancy, Tony and whoever else is oh so interested in me.
I am really not into speculations, so I will save you some time googling and spreading false information.
I am all for facts (something you have a hard time with).
Let me help you out here.
Robyn:
Not sure which poor soul you identified as me, but I was nowhere near Ontario, Tuesday 04.10.
As a matter of fact, I was shooting in Glendale.
I had a 8am calltime and we wrapped around 6pm.
I even made my FB public, so you can see for yourself.
I also wasn’t at auction with some blue water bottle last week or the week before.
Allegedly someone has pictures.
I must have a lot of Doppelgängers. I had no clue.
Suzanne:
Gold star for figuring out my legal name.
Either you reversed searched my cell number, which is easy enough for $4.95.
Or the auction house identified me, which would be illegal, but then again, so is speeding.
Margaret:
I am totally chubby in the world of skinny Hollywood folks. No doubt. Maybe we should start a diet together. You don’t really look in shape these days either.
We do have a mutual friend. You guys went to school together, he said. If you need more info about me, call him. He knows me well.
So let me tell you about me.
I have been a producer all my adult life. A good 20+ years.
I won’t list my achievements or jobs. That you can google. Easy enough. Right.
I also consult on horse intense jobs, being in the industry and being a life long equestrian.
I am a private advocate and rescuer. Never make public who I support and what horses I rescued. But be assured, I not only financially support rescues, but also have a few horses in sanctuary from local rescues and find placement for horses in need in CA and out of state.
Robyn.
Remember the 25.00 mare, ummm blind gelding, from your epic rant last week. You know, the one with shoes.
I committed to that horse before he was loaded into Vera’s trailer.
He will be coming to my ranch after QT.
You saw me give ALR money. I did. For the horses they purchased that day.
I currently have 11 on my ranch, which I own. 6 are either fosters or sanctuary horses.
I have 2 out of state.
Needless to say. On my own dime.
I sure hope to see you all next week in Ontario.
Suzanne, I am still looking for 1 mostly white paint and a donkey .I found a good assortment in Billings, Montana.
Feel free to ask any questions you think are unanswered.
I really want to help you guys out here.
Sincerely,
Barbara M. Benson
Ps: I do often go by my middle name. Long story. Maybe I tell you one day
The top few screen shots I pulled out of their auction attack posts for some flavor. Obviously the pictures are of Mags in all her red-faced glory and then we have a long-winded explanation about how unbothered she is by that. I dunno what Marg’s `fat ass’ has to do with HC and helping horses, but I also don’t really know what attacking private citizens has to do with HC either. Doesn’t HiCaliber screech about the `haters’ stepping up? So when one does try to do that quietly to help some horses on her own dime, they get torn apart in private forums. Get over yourself, Village Idiots. We’re going to need a whole bunch more people like Barbara Benson in the immediate future. Meanwhile, buckle up because I got a LOT more to say over the next few days…BTW Mags, I know you say you don’t look like these pics anymore and that would be true. You look worse. You stick out like a sore thumb at Santa Anita. Get a bigger dog to hide behind maybe? Also, I can’t speak for Jennifer Marek, but I’m the one that called you a moonface on THIS blog and I stand by that. Your detective skills suck so much ass, Mags. Grow up.
Because the most diehard idiots remain in the private group, they obediently forgot that Manson had told them only a few days before that she had been the one to unpublish the page. They are not capable independent thought or action so they aren’t asking a bunch of questions like `if you knew you were hacked two days ago, why wouldn’t you warn us since you have our personal and financial info?’ They just obediently grab their pitchforks and torches…
