Naturally it wasn't long before she too decided to become a "rescue" since she found a place where others fed into her....someplace she&amp;nbsp;could&amp;nbsp;feel important....like so many of the&amp;nbsp;other&amp;nbsp;failed rescues that found ABR did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She walked onto ABR claiming to be a certified vet tech and an equine nutritionist....neither of which&amp;nbsp;turned&amp;nbsp;out to be true.....and still follows suit to this day with half truths and make believe.....but&amp;nbsp;fortunately&amp;nbsp;for her, a vast majority of the FOB's don't have a clue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I copied the most valuable lines in her posts because of past history, Phonytales has a habit of deleting and "fixing" her posts and web site when people point out the&amp;nbsp;inaccuracies. My own personal comments are those in &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"&gt;green&lt;/span&gt;........as of right now, everything underlined is clickable and it will take you directly to Laurie's own words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;July 5th, 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=11831.31"&gt;I am a &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;certified&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; vet tech who has specialized in large animals for 12 years, I  also have a &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;degree&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; in Equine Nutrition&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"&gt;(ironically enough, Phonytales also claims in this post "I would rather not be a 501(c)3 rescue"....but since becoming has harped on the fact you should be one to be "legitimate".... )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;July 27th, 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=12790.19"&gt;Not only am I a vet tech but I also have a &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;degree&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; in Equine  Nutrition&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"&gt;There you go again!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;January 2nd, 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=18316.22"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I did not say that I was a CVT, LVT or RVT (Certified,  Licensed or Registered Vet Tech)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"&gt;Sorry sweetie....you did say it, at least twice before you were busted...&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=18316.22"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I have an Equine Nutritional Consulting Business with MANY very  happy clients.

Yes. &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Does that make me an expert or earn me a degree?

Remember her having the web page offering his breeding services and when busted for it she claimed it was "just a joke"....sure it was dear!&amp;nbsp;Unfortunately&amp;nbsp;this is one of those things you can't link to, you had to be&amp;nbsp;around&amp;nbsp;with the posts being on the old ICERs and her&amp;nbsp;immediately&amp;nbsp;deleting the web page....but &lt;a href="http://fuglyblog.com/?p=601"&gt;fugly did do a piece on her&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and her stallion.....&lt;insert eye="" roll!=""&gt;&lt;/insert&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could play this game all day of things she said then changed her story or&amp;nbsp;altered&amp;nbsp;it to make the FOB's happy over the years....I think a good majority of you have already caught on though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now she's closing....or is she? It's so confusing &lt;a href="http://icers.yuku.com/reply/39413/Elephant-in-the-room#reply-39413"&gt;she doesn't even know what she's doing&lt;/a&gt;. God forbid she'd have to pay off the final bills herself for the mess she has created. With 6 less mouths to feed and running her "boarding business" you'd think paying off the mere $3000 she claims to owe a breeze. But why do right when you can stay a 501c3 and still ask for money and have those bills paid for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what happened to this? Posted on ICERs March 26th, 2011....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://icers.yuku.com/sreply/37455/Reaching-Desperation-Status-Here"&gt;Lastly I have things going on in my personal life right now that also require my time, and are also the reason for the much needed downsize, unlike others&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt; &lt;b&gt;I keep my personal life personal and don't use it to garner support and sympathy.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It didn't take long at all for this 180 to happen!

Why try to make the husband happy when you have so many FOBots to impress!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=12487.734"&gt;My husband demanded a divorce a few weeks back. In his words he is tired of  taking a back seat to the animals.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Another funny thing is a long time ago, back when the first ICERs was born, Laurie used to email me to share stories of what she had done to other rescues on ABR under false identities. I'm not sure if she thought I was&amp;nbsp;cheeky&amp;nbsp;enough to enjoy her drivel or she was trying to make nice hoping she never popped up on this blog.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;I think we can all agree here that I can't stand Debbie from the old Mustang Hearts and wouldn't piss on her if she were on fire....but I also find some of the things Laurie did to her to be some of the most the most unethical crap I've ever seen in my life. I&amp;nbsp;refereed&amp;nbsp;to it as "wicked evil things" over on ICERs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;This thread "&lt;a href="http://icers.yuku.com/topic/1373/Reaching-Desperation-Status-Here"&gt;Reaching Desperation Status Here&lt;/a&gt;" on ICERs pretty much has it all in there.&amp;nbsp;Unfortunately&amp;nbsp;my old computer with all of the saved emails crashed a while back....and while I do believe it's fixable and retrievable, I couldn't wait any longer to do this blog.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you'll notice within that thread when I accused her of posting AS&amp;nbsp;Debbie's&amp;nbsp;landowner and she told me how wrong I was because the landowner gave her the info to post...of course she calls the land owner a "she" and I only knew and had the email claiming the landowner was a "he"....so she has pretended to be 2 of&amp;nbsp;Debbie's&amp;nbsp;land owners...not just one! LMAO! Busted &lt;b&gt;twice &lt;/b&gt;by her own admission!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=23809.122"&gt;Her post to Debbie&lt;/a&gt;......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=23809.128"&gt;Another post saying how it is all true and she IS who she says she is&lt;/a&gt; :-P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And her email to &lt;b&gt;me&lt;/b&gt; bragging about it.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;"I would be MikeRID...Her landlord is Mike XXXXXXXX in ID...heeheehee"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did remove his last name out of a tiny bit of respect since Laurie doesn't have any!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Known ID's of Phonytales (off the top of my head since everything was stored on my now crashed computer)....MikeRID,&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;MireID,&amp;nbsp;MaryKSmith....and myself and others that have emailed have a pretty good idea on a ton of other fake ID's....but since I don't have proof....well you know how that goes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can find all kinds of&amp;nbsp;back peddling&amp;nbsp;in that thread along with the&amp;nbsp;resent&amp;nbsp;thread she's started "&lt;a href="http://icers.yuku.com/topic/1444/Elephant-in-the-room"&gt;Elephant in the room&lt;/a&gt;"...my absolute&amp;nbsp;favorite&amp;nbsp;is where she says:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Full of myself? Yup I am, call it a personality flaw, disorder, whatever, psychiatrist calls it Histrionic Personality...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And when I agree with her she says:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Actually no, I said I had a Histrionic Peronality according to my shrink, not Histrionic Personality Disorder. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"&gt;U&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"&gt;mmmm....excuse me? Shrink says you haz it....which is it again? LMAO....and for anyone not familiar with&amp;nbsp;Histrionic Personality Disorder, please google....it fits Laurie to a T!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember Tee from Lifelines? That's one of the bad guys Laurie claims "I tried to tell you!!!!!!" when she went down......but wait! Laurie &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=13278.1"&gt;helped a friend of hers get placement&lt;/a&gt; for a horse there and even &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=13278.278"&gt;thanked Tee&lt;/a&gt; :-P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seriously, like I said earlier...I could literally play this back peddle game all day with her posts, both&amp;nbsp;resent&amp;nbsp;and over the years....it's never ending! She can't say the same thing twice!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all in conclusion, I think this post made on the last blog pretty much sums up my feelings....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I honestly believe her husband is sick of being a single father and working full time, while she's out fulfilling her "fantasy."  Who wouldn't want to play with horses all day, in the name of rescue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know he's footing the bill on a lot of this.  She never spared ANY expense on these horses.  Why keep a 3 yr old horse alive that is barely pasture sound?  At what cost financially? The expensive surgeries, two three opinions at different clinics.  I don't think she budgeted money very well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bet hubby put the hammer down and said "enough."  Her kids need a mom, Christ, they're young too.  You hardly ever hear her mention them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The health issues I don't buy.  She may have some, but she's playing that up as the reason.  She's stated she drinks, is overweight (not knocking that but in regard to health), I would think those things would be a lot more detrimental to someone's health than working around the barn.  Physical exercise is good for most conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dunno, it just sounds fishy.  She would have been better off not saying so much, but then again, she's always had a problem with that.  Every time she stubs her toe she has to post it.  She's just an attention whore.  Most people I know that are truly good horse people are modest and don't need a pat on the back every time they pound a nail.  She doesn't seem to have an ounce of common sense.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And actually there are a lot of good comments under the last blog if you have the time to read them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And let's make NO mistake....even though these horses are not skin and bones, they are STILL having to be rescued from a rescue. Before it's to late, after it's to late....it makes no difference....horses have been put into a "rescue" situation where they now cannot be properly taken care of.....all while Laurie has had all the time in the world to tell other people how rescuing should be done and putting herself on a&amp;nbsp;pedestal....THAT's what really chaps my ass!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phonytails also needs to&amp;nbsp;learn&amp;nbsp;that there is life and rescue outside of ABR! Maybe if she had actually tried to run her rescue right and use her board members (notice they all seem pretty disgruntled!) she probably wouldn't be a failure....a liar? Oh hell yes, she'll never give that up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, CRAP...I really need to stop now....there are just so many tales to tell.....LOL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-240079048353424590?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/240079048353424590/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=240079048353424590' title='276 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/240079048353424590'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/240079048353424590'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/adventures-of-phonytales-weeeeeeeee.html' title='The Adventures Of Phonytales!

Who was shocked when he announced he would be keeping it? No one.....that's who :) When his book didn't take off like a bat out of hell I suppose he figured he needed to stick around and peddle it as much as he could. Sales don't seem to be going so well. Can't imagine that there wasn't much call for yet another Barbaro book, LOL. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He's asking for sales suggestions on his facebook page....let's see.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fire starters&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Booster seats&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leveling that unruly couch that's missing a leg&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Balancing it on your head for posture&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think the back cover has his face on it....might come in handy for scaring the mice out of the barn&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He's so desperate to get the 2000+ books sold and out of his house that when someone asked if they could send him a book and have it signed he replied...(paraphrasing) &amp;nbsp;"There must be a better way with over 2000 of them sitting in my house".....AKA: Buy another fucking book. I have way to many that aren't selling!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And his &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=56074.1"&gt;latest post&lt;/a&gt; has his total disappointing sales......and his announcement he needs the $ from the book sales to finance is other ABR endeavours.....ummmmm Alex, WTF are those? Self promoting yourself? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And he's tired of eating beans on toast....poor guy. Maybe he should hook up with Jim at Tirre Madre and they could split a can O' soup too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't know if you followed the comments on the last blog or not, but we had a special guest appearance by the one and only BreckNridger. You know....the dude that sits around and dresses up horsies with photoshop on ABR. Mainly Barbaro. I swear until I saw a photo of him I thought he was a teenager......but NOPE! It's a full grown....ummmm, errr.....man?.....doing this. Please have your Depends on when you &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=55299.26"&gt;look at his pic&lt;/a&gt;......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=55299.1"&gt;He got himself a Dodge Charger&amp;nbsp;with customized "Barbrro" plates&lt;/a&gt;. He claims in the comment section that those who are making fun of him are just jealous, LMAO. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a little tip for you Kent......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You saying people are "jealous" of you and your car is like an ugly chick saying "beauty is on the inside". You both know you are full of shit, but you have to say it to make you feel better about yourself :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Normal people do not go around worshiping a dead horse, the car is not an expensive one that most people cannot afford, and I don't know of anyone personally that wants to go around dressed up like a goofball in their customized lael color sneakers. Sorry dude....your just really, really, really fucking weird! And the video you made of yourself doing the honorary figure 8 for Barbaro in a school parking lot is just down right CREEPY! Run kiddies, RUN!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you have problems getting ahold of GregJ? I mean this blog is still up....thought you 2 were shutting it down :) Or did he tell you he already knew about it and has even posted here before....although he didn't act like a 5 year old school girl having a little&amp;nbsp;hissy fit&amp;nbsp;when he did, LMAO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BreckNridger also left a nice little drawing of a dick, balls and asshole in the comment section along with the claims that many FOB's have sent savory pictures of themselves to him.....not sure what he was trying to prove by that because all it did for myself and others is reaffirm the fact that the FOB's are 11 cookies short of a dozen :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-7439995204927228807?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/7439995204927228807/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=7439995204927228807' title='92 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/7439995204927228807'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/7439995204927228807'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/lotta-catchin-up.html' title='Lotta Catchin&apos; Up!'/><author><name>BUC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15705405605815218278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SwFpBR71AnI/AAAAAAAAAGA/u68hlMeR8J8/S220/meandmypony.jpg'/></author><thr:total>92</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768785598615885369.post-5654804059991464925</id><published>2011-01-21T09:58:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2011-01-21T09:58:25.620-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alex Brown Racing Rescues Scams Liars Cheats Fans Of Barbaros'/><title type='text'>Verna, Verna, Verna......</title><content type='html'>*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;......&lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=40634.1"&gt;get off your lazy ass and get a fucking JOB already!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This chick has been on ABR for well over a year with crisis after crisis, excuse after excuse.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She can't work because she has arthritis, fibromyalgia, and a million other ailments......but she can take care of 3 dogs and a million cats (all unaltered BTW....) and her kids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She won't take prescription meds because "they are poisonous"......but I'd be more apt to believe the doctors think she's a hypochondriac loon and doesn't need any "meds" besides Prozac, LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guess what Verna?

But good news! He just exclaimed he has over 110 photos for his book! Thank God because that cuts down on your own poorly written drivel! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have horse after horse that was "saved" by FOB's and other good hearted people that get sucked into the "ugly truck" game that keep turning up starved, neglected and dead. Oh SO much better than slaughter!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have rescue after rescue that keeps getting caught embellishing stories to keep their asses out of the sling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have rescue after rescue starving, neglecting and killing horses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The idiots are running so wild over there these days that there is enough material to blog about for 10 lifetimes....it becomes overwhelming of where to begin!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have free horses that are being&amp;nbsp;completely ignored while you have people scraping the couches to buy them from the auctions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have rescue after rescue stockpiling horses but you have a thread called "Rescues With Adoptable Horses" that is seeing very little action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have nutbag after nutbag losing their jobs, homes, husbands, family all because they have no self control and have spent every penny they have "saving" the horses and all their free time merrily bumping away threads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And as usual, you still have Alex threatening to ban anyone that questions him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that is just today's drama,

type='text'>Oh Happy Day!</title><content type='html'>*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jason Meduna of 3 Strikes ranch has been &lt;a href="http://www.doubleqcountry.com/artman2/publish/LOCAL_NEWS_9/MEDUNA_FOUND_GUILTY_IN_ANIMAL_NEGLECT_TRIAL.shtml"&gt;found guilty&lt;/a&gt; of 145 charges of animal abuse&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure if you're lurking about this blog that you know the story...but if not, here is a recap...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jason used to be the poster boy of the FOB's as a mustang sanctuary. They sang his name and praised his glory and tried to shove&amp;nbsp;every unwanted mustang off at his ranch. You could feel the FOB's warmth between their legs coming right through the computer screen every time they spoke about him...and if there were pictures of the horse killer, well look out, the moans were plenty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even when some news started coming out that things might not be the way they seemed, the FOB's stayed a rabid supporter until there was just to much &lt;em&gt;bad&lt;/em&gt; to deny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A&amp;nbsp;handful are still holding on to their dream boy. Now with the guilty charge I'd be interested to know how they look at him now.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why push this off and blame the FOB's you ask? Well because if any of them had taken a moment to research the man they were so hot and horny over they would have found out this isn't the first time good ol' Jason has been in over his head. A search of his name would have brought up some court records and they would have immediately seen at the very least lie #1. Jason told people he was 29 which in fact he is 42. I don't know if this was a ploy to keep people off his tracts or he thought he was all that and a bag of chips. I'd say a little of both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing I don't get (well I really do get it, wink, wink) is that the FOB's are always screaming about how can a rescue have 50, 60, 70, 100+ horses and provide the necessary care for them...but knowing Jason was somewhere around 300 horses, well that didn't seem to bother them a bit. He was a God after all....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe I read where sentencing was Feb. 23rd.

But he knows his little FOBots will work their fingers to the bone to make sure even their dead grandmas and kittens join up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, he doesn't care if these people are really interested in reading his book or not, just like he doesn't care if any of the 3100 horses he claims ABR has saved are now safe or even dead or alive....just as long as those numbers make HIM &lt;em&gt;look&lt;/em&gt; good! I mean, who really gives a&amp;nbsp;fuck about facts....right? :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have this mental image in my head of a handful of little ol' FOBots that think light shines out of Alex's ass funding all of this "time off from work" journey, LMAO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, so I don't post in the comment section here that much anyway...but some of you have lost me a little on this GregJ. I've seen him around ABR of course, but I don't read the racing threads (unless someone emails me and says "check this shit out!")...so I don't know why he's being drug up over here in the comments so much. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last thing I saw from him is where he was giving Alex a bit of a challenge.....IMHO if you are over on ABR posting, you are a nutter...but I do have to give a bit of&amp;nbsp;a nutter kudo to anyone who stands up to the "King" :) And I know people reading here have obviously seen stuff out of him I just haven't (because I never followed him)&amp;nbsp;so you'll have to forgive me for being so lost, lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is another real good blog (IMHO :) that I've started following: &lt;a href="http://backattheranch1.blogspot.com/"&gt;Meanwhile....Back at the Ranch&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;They get the point across so much better than I do on a lot of stuff.

Think she will ever get a clue? LMAO&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, so Sue Wallis, a Rep for Wyoming has started a petition "&lt;a href="http://www.rallycongress.com/2/2761/view_all/"&gt;Control the Overpopulation of Wild and Feral Horses&lt;/a&gt;".....and the ABR nut jobs are using it as a sounding board. It's frickin hilarious! Some of the comments on there make it so clear what radical nutjobs these people really are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's a &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=44227.1"&gt;thread on ABR&lt;/a&gt; about this petition and this woman....people have said you can leave your comment without it actually being sent to your reps. Well I disagree :) Because I've copied and pasted their comments along with&amp;nbsp;a link and sent it to every rep&amp;nbsp;and official&amp;nbsp;across the good old USA :) I'm sure that kind of flattery will get them everywhere, LMAO. (of course if you agree and have a second, please sigh it!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Naturally, as you can find if you surf that thread, someone made a rebuttal against Sue in an article and photoshopped Sue's face to make it look huge and distorted. Classy, huh! Anyway most of the FOB don't realize it was photoshopped and are making fun of her appearance...IMAGINE THAT! &lt;em&gt;"I can't think of anything intelligent to say or even a rebuttal so I'll act like the stupid fucking moron that I am and comment on someones looks"&lt;/em&gt; mentality......but who would expect anything more out of that group!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh - real quick...my email has been down for a little over a week....I didn't really feel like messing with it over the Holidays because I had so much other stuff going on....but I'm back in and will try to get all caught up on replies over the next couple of days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope every one had a wonderful Christmas and wishing great thing in this new year!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDITING IN: Just &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=44238.12"&gt;ran across this&lt;/a&gt; and they get the full blown, 6 foot "Nutter of the Day, I'm just a waste of airspace" trophy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: #38761d;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I am glad he got cancer and I am glad he is dead.

I do not agree with anyone who sees the need to do that! They are scum!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But she does it in a way that makes it seem unbelievable and like it gives her an excuse not to answer questions and be open. I personally think it's BS and it's all in her mind to try to gather sympathy, she will never give anyone proof and hasn't said anything about contacting the authorities....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She's admitted on ABR to having hoarding tendencies and she just got her first horse about 5 years ago then later decided to become the all important rescue...the numbers quickly increased to over 70 at one time. She uses big words that she has no idea what they mean  to try to impress people. There is always some kind of big secret only she knows about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's quite ridiculous really. It appears just about everyone is onto her though because the "river of funds" has damn near went dry. The only people you see on her threads anymore are either calling her out or the regular nutters who support anything and everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what's your take on EPONA? I'd love for some proof to show up in my inbox that this woman is getting either fairly or unfairly accused of the things she posts about herself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and a little P.S. I am well aware of the nastygrams Lin/EPONA sends out anytime someone brings up her name unless it's to fart rainbows...so before Lin or any of her little minions sends me the standard "I'm gonna sue you for slander!" bullshit form letter....just remember, the burden to prove you are not a nutbag is on you ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-7890674265741260000?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/7890674265741260000/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=7890674265741260000' title='63 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/7890674265741260000'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/7890674265741260000'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/ok-someone-give-me-low-down.html' title='Ok, Someone Give Me The Low Down...'/><author><name>BUC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15705405605815218278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SwFpBR71AnI/AAAAAAAAAGA/u68hlMeR8J8/S220/meandmypony.jpg'/></author><thr:total>63</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768785598615885369.post-6610540144819147759</id><published>2009-11-13T08:32:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2009-11-13T09:21:59.169-06:00</updated><title type='text'>How In The Fuck Did I Miss This?</title><content type='html'>I swear to God I had pickles shooting out my nose this morning reading this loony bin shit!

There's no way that you'll let this board leave the spot light.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What has changed since the thread has been up? Not a damn thing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alex has promoted himself on the forum for his blog radio and youtube....but hey, guess what? A long time member of ABR that everyone really liked just passed away...she was one of the most active anti slaughter supporter on the forum. She's spent countless hours on the phone, emailing and faxing our legislators and helped guide others in the fight....but did Alex wander over and share his condolences with the rest of the board? Nope...not one peep out of him.....that my friend, if nothing else, shows you what kind of "compassionate" human being is behind the screen.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in my search for something totally unrelated last night I came across this &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=12459.32"&gt;little tidbit&lt;/a&gt; from one of the moderators before they were a mod. Looks like the same questions and concerns from 2 years ago that are being voiced now, only I guess since she is Alex's right hand lady it's just not important to get those answers anymore. Just be sure and do not question a rescue she likes otherwise your post will disappear before you hit enter...pick on one she doesn't care for so she can sit silently by and watch the fun, LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I think I'll give the subject of this thread a rest now until Alex's "30 days" are up and wait for the big announcement that it's all business as usual :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-1469122260109592027?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/1469122260109592027/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=1469122260109592027' title='17 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/1469122260109592027'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/1469122260109592027'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/as-barbaro-turns-in-his-grave-continued.html' title='As Barbaro Turns (in his grave) continued.....'/><author><name>BUC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15705405605815218278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SwFpBR71AnI/AAAAAAAAAGA/u68hlMeR8J8/S220/meandmypony.jpg'/></author><thr:total>17</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768785598615885369.post-3881222151293988263</id><published>2009-10-25T15:49:00.016-05:00</published><updated>2009-10-26T02:47:31.031-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Ego Strokin' 101</title><content type='html'>*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess with the &lt;em&gt;recent&lt;/em&gt;? "ABR under ATTACK" (per the Board Nazi) that ol' Alex is feeling a little blue and inadequate so he's started a thread asking about &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=42249.1"&gt;the future of ABR&lt;/a&gt;. He's even pretending to listen to input from his members....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's my prediction of how things will go down....all of Alex's regular little panty throwers will chime in and pump the old chap up, a couple of people will have the balls to actually challenge the Nazi and most of the regulars won't even bother to respond because the like the idea of ABR but lost respect for Alex years ago....and the outcome will be Alex doing whatever the hell he wants to anyway ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really considered getting an ID over in FOBville today and posting my thoughts on the matter, but I knew if a miracle happened and the post was allowed to stay that I'd never forgive myself for having my say under an alias....so here we are :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alex, ask yourself "what have I accomplished in the last 3 years on ABR" and look into the mirror and see the cold hard facts. You have created a community of mob mentality, liars, thieves, scammers, domestic terrorists, horse killers and felons and made it possible for them to all congregate in one place. All of the "sane" people left your ass in the dirt a long time ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have also created a community of people going into dire straights financially because they don't have enough sense (until it's to late) to realize they are chasing some kind of twisted pipe dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't you have an ounce of guilt, any remorse or shame when people say they will miss meals, send money when they get their social security or disability checks, not pay a bill, and take away from their families all in the name of thinking they are saving a horse? Does it not pain you to look around your house and see all the people that are now hurting because of your little science project?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have 2 moderators that do absolutely nothing and one who spends most of her time covering her own tracks. You'r FOBots (thanks ICERob :) and you claim to have saved 3100 horses but I'd bet you a steak dinner (or hell how about something you can relate to...drinks on the house!) if you could find 1,000 of those horses now. Wait, I'd settle for 500 ;) From the looks around ABR these days it looks like you keep saving the same ones over and over!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ABR has done nothing except cast a dark shadow on legitimate rescues. I bet the number of people that you and your FOB's have totally soured on rescues all together far super exceeds the number of horses you claim to have saved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hell you have a married nutbag trying on thongs and sending them to the "token male" rescue filled with money. Legitimate rescues everywhere crawl in their skin when the name Alex Brown is brought up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ABR has lowered the standard in horse care 101. Your members spend most of their lives begging for the next bale of hay while they are making shipping arrangements to have more horses sent to them. Rescues post pictures of horses standing in lots that look like junk yards, packed in like sardines.....but then if anyone should dare say something the FOBots come along and try to convince everyone that not even basic care and knowledge is as bad as slaughter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Countless threads have been devoted to tearing people apart, people who do not even participate on the forum, people who the FOB’s know nothing about. But they don’t like their opinion on something or maybe the way they list a horse on craigslist….so lets just rip everyone a new asshole even though they are clueless....but then Alex pouts when you question him ;) &lt;insert&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to wonder if the FOB’s realize how really fucking stupid they are. They flag craigslist ad’s they do not like therefore decreasing the chance for exposure to get the horse out of the situation they do not like. Man, do I have a sign for you guys…..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to look at things realistically, ABR has not saved one single horse....that's the biggest scam ABR and Alex has ran so far. Each and every horse that has been purchased at auction has only been replaced with another. Slaughter numbers have GROWN, not decreased over the last year. You guys have saved NOTHING! But you guys sure have killed a lot of horses "rescuing" them :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alex, your forum “managing” skills SUCK. I mean BIG TIME. You ban people who question you or your livelihood (we'll get to that in a bit ;) but allow people who are totally off their rocker to stay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also think Alex is from the school of "any publicity is good publicity"...as long as he gets him name out there is all that matters to him. He wants to make a name for himself so bad that he'll even except a bad name. Why do you think Alex requires rescues to have the all important WIKI? It certainly doesn't prevent fraud....with a WIKI all things come back to Alex Brown....he can watch his name crawl through the ranks of Google and finally feel a little important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now lets get to that livelihood that keeps Alex with his ban paddle handy should anyone question it :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The FACTS are that of the approximate 9 million horses in the USA, 7 million of those are in the racing industry. The racing industry, just because of sheer numbers participating alone, is responsible for the majority of death related injuries, illegal drug, over drugging, unethical sportsmanship and overall abuse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alex's boss, &lt;a href="http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/paychecks-are-more-important.html"&gt;Steve Asmussen&lt;/a&gt;, is one of those real dandy's of the racing world. It's hypocritical (not to mention comical!) that Alex tries to preach what he does with the close company he keeps. Most see through it...to many don't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I often wonder if the husbands of the panty throwers would buy Alex a drink if they could. The craziness runs so rapid around ABR that I'm sure the husbands are thrilled to have their wives off their backs so they can pursue a normal life and maybe an affair or two :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do I think ABR has ran it's course? HELL YES I DO! I think you would be doing everyone a huge service and save a lot of people a lot of pain if you gracefully bowed out now before it gets even worse. Heck, you can't even deny the big changes that have been going on around ABR for some time now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the rest of ABR....well if Alex wants to keep his name in some lights and do his little racing updates and keep a few panty throwers around, then so be it. There are a lot of nuts on the internet, it's not like he won't still fit in....But for the love of God, ditch the forum before ABR ruins even more lives and kills more horses!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aren’t you, Alex, getting a little tired of riding on the coat tails of Barbaro yet? I think ABR's biggest accomplished is disgracing this horses name….every time real horse people think or hear of Barbaro now all they think of is you and your mighty band of wackadoodles…..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I do feel much better now....thankyouverymuch :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-3881222151293988263?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/3881222151293988263/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=3881222151293988263' title='24 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/3881222151293988263'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/3881222151293988263'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/ego-strokin-101.html' title='Ego Strokin&apos; 101'/><author><name>BUC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15705405605815218278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SwFpBR71AnI/AAAAAAAAAGA/u68hlMeR8J8/S220/meandmypony.jpg'/></author><thr:total>24</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768785598615885369.post-3257073949967682396</id><published>2009-09-27T09:49:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2009-09-27T12:02:08.895-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Livin' On Coffee &amp; Can of Soup &amp; Someone Elses Money</title><content type='html'>*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway that's what Jim of Tierra Madre Horse Sanctuary comes right out and claims...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets take a look at a rescue that houses just under 30 horses on a bit less than 3 acres, doesn't let a day go by without suggesting people need to send him money, claims no one can care for horses the way he can, claims to live off of coffee and sometimes a half can of soup to survive and always has some kind of tragedy going on....Oh, and the horses ONLY check in....they never check out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yep, just like prisoners on death row. Once the horses come to Tierra Madre they are there for life. Jim claims no one can give them the kind of care he can. Which would be all fine and dandy if he could afford those horses that are now "his"...but he can't. Hell he can't even afford to eat by his own admission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is very good at creative writing....all those years as a writer have really paid off. He can make an old lady wet herself like no other...sell an Eskimo ice and most important, use is creative writing style to gain the all important dough it takes to finance his personal herd of horses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At just under 3 acres Jim claims he can house up to 30 horses and normally runs just below that. It's amusing to read Jim blog about building new pens for the horses and how the latest one was HUGE! Yes, HUGE!!!! Measuring almost 30' x 30'! OMG!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jim posts several times a day on ABR....you never know what kinds of goodies will roll off his fingers. Just over a month ago Jim makes a post telling everyone he's &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=37974.1704"&gt;sick and BROKE&lt;/a&gt;. This is pretty typical, it seems he gets into a bind quite often and makes these kind of posts. It works for him....the lonely housewives of ABR wet themselves to see how quick they can send him some more money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this day was different. Shortly after claiming to be broke Jim gets a phone call.....someone has asked him to take another horse and they want $700 for it....so a new thread is born! &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=40357.2"&gt;Help bring "Coloreado" to Tierra Madre&lt;/a&gt;! WOW, a lot can change in 8 hours I guess! Maybe he won the lotto? Oh, no...never mind, he's asking the lonely housewives to foot the whole bill and shipping too of course....imagine that :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You would think that a group of people who profess to be advocates for horse welfare would not shit a pile of money to go send a horse off to go live with someone who is always broke...but were not talking normal people here...we're talking FOB's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Jim's "I'm broke" tears are quickly dried with a new horse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just a handful of days ago a thread called "&lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=41264.1"&gt;Famous TB Smokey Stover needs a HOME&lt;/a&gt;" pops up....yep, only 14 replies into the post there is Jim...."We'll be more than glad to give Smokey a forever home - but can only do it if the $600 &amp;amp; shipping costs can be raised."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What made this so priceless? A few friends and I had been chatting when the thread started up and wondered how long before Jim would bebop over to try to capitalize on this "famous" horse. See, he likes to get hold of the ones that have some sort of notoriety....it makes it easier for those poor me, send me cash posts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seems a few are onto Jim and the good old "they only check in, they never check out" ways and aren't overly thrilled with 30 horses being crammed on less than 3 acres. They thought this guy deserved a real pasture and someplace he could actually run and not have to stop every few feet to turn around so he didn't smack into his prison cell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course this didn't make Jim happy...not happy at all. He whined and cried around on that thread and also on his &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=37974.2156"&gt;daily check in thread&lt;/a&gt;....he wanted his little group of lonely housewives to go over to Smokey's thread and tell everyone he needed to go to Jim's place....whaaaaaa, whaaaaaa, whaaaa.....Still didn't work out for the ol' boy...he claimed he was out politicked by people he didn't know....yeah, couldn't have had anything to do with the fact that some people didn't think the horse deserved to go to prison. So Jim makes one of his famous "no one could care for him the way I could have" posts....gag me...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh. and the lonely housewives tried to dry his tears with yet another horse...but Jim didn't seem to interested...not "famous" enough I suppose...... :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One last piece of information....per Jim, if you don't like Obama then you are a racist, LMAO! He loves to spurt his political views...alienating one conservative at a time :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd lay money on the fact that there will not be a good outcome for theses horses down the road.....&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-3257073949967682396?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/3257073949967682396/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=3257073949967682396' title='18 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/3257073949967682396'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/3257073949967682396'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/livin-on-coffee-can-of-soup-someone.html' title='Livin&apos; On Coffee &amp; Can of Soup &amp; Someone Elses Money'/><author><name>BUC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15705405605815218278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SwFpBR71AnI/AAAAAAAAAGA/u68hlMeR8J8/S220/meandmypony.jpg'/></author><thr:total>18</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768785598615885369.post-2384111458350616606</id><published>2009-09-04T12:54:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2009-09-04T13:53:09.706-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alex Brown Racing Scam Money Laundering Wiki Illegal Activities Domestic Terrorism'/><title type='text'>If You Are Going To Scam Someone....</title><content type='html'>*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.....at least pretend you're legitimate, LOL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, from the Board Nazi....&lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=40731.1"&gt;a big announcement&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because we all know that someone with a Wiki would NEVER hose anyone out of dough ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lifelines&lt;br /&gt;CBER&lt;br /&gt;PEC&lt;br /&gt;Mustang Hearts&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just to name a few of the rescues ABR and the FOB's have supported......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Didn't they all have a Wiki too?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean ABR already supports enough illegal activities such as PayPal fraud and domestic terrorism, why would a wiki, that anyone can make or make up, have any bearing on anything?

Are they starving while they are waiting for the next person to throw $20 at them so 40 horses can split 5 bales of hay? Are the rescues coming up with the hay on their own by actually paying for it themselves yet keep begging?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is one of the scariest things I see with these rescues. Especially since so many horses have had to be rescued from their rescuers "All for the love of Barbaro".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm suppose to be the no good dirty rotten bitch who should burn in hell for thinking slaughter is OK....but you know what? I have never in my life had 1 report filed against me, my horses have never missed a meal, their feet, teeth and shots are all current, they have a great barn, a nice safe lot without a bunch of junk shit it in and want for nothing (well, ok, Bo is a little pissed since I put his fat ass on a diet :)......and guess what? I pay for every fucking dime of it myself and would never dream of it being any other way....but I'm the one that sucks? LMAO&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Oh, BTW, I abuse ALL my animals...not just the horses, LOL&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343827069861142962" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SikWaEAwobI/AAAAAAAAAFo/xE8auO2LLj0/s400/rookiki1.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;*&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-8607453040989855315?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/8607453040989855315/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=8607453040989855315' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/8607453040989855315'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/8607453040989855315'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/hey-hay.html' title='Hey Hay?!?'/><author><name>BUC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15705405605815218278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SwFpBR71AnI/AAAAAAAAAGA/u68hlMeR8J8/S220/meandmypony.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SikWaEAwobI/AAAAAAAAAFo/xE8auO2LLj0/s72-c/rookiki1.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768785598615885369.post-2174098182410999830</id><published>2009-05-31T09:01:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-05-31T10:17:41.619-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Take Two</title><content type='html'>*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think it's time for me to take a new turn (mixed with some of the old) with this blog. I've had the hardest time posting......by the time I read all of the shit on ABR my brain is just so jumbled with the fucktards and their leader that I don't even know where to begin or what to say. So I'm going to try this bit and blog for &lt;strong&gt;me&lt;/strong&gt; for a while and throw in bits and pieces of craziness with each post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess I'll start that with the next blog though...today I'm going to play a bit of catch up :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, let's relive Mustang Hearts for a minute. If you're not familiar with this so called rescue and the nut bag who runs it &lt;a href="http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2007/12/and-another-dandy.html"&gt;start here&lt;/a&gt; and then a little more &lt;a href="http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2008/06/mustang-hearts-dump-n-drama.html"&gt;catch up reading&lt;/a&gt; for you. This woman is scary off her rocker!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pretty much everything people feared (well the ones who didn't wear those funny colored glasses) came true a few months ago...Her latest savior had to quit funding her hoarding habits and Debbie life took another crazy twisted turn. Mustang Hearts is no longer....that's the good news!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the bad news....A handful of the horses went to smaller rescues but she sent 30+ to a place called Orphan Acres that already had 60-70 horses. Not only did she send the horses there but he also took in her lazy filthy ass to "help out". Naturally that didn't last more than a few weeks. Tempers flared, fists flew and Debbie was once again out on her ass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But for some reason, NOW that OA won't have anything to do with the nutbag they are the root of all evil and she's going balls to the wall trying to get him shut down. She claims horses are dying and starving to death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now before I go any further I'll give my opinion on OA. From the web site it looks like a shit hole. I would never send a horse there for any reason. But for Debbie it was the answer to all of her prayers...another place for her and her horses to live for free while it lasted. All I am thankful for is that she signed all of the horses over to him so when she went out on her ass the horses didn't go with. While the place is as big of a shit hole as Debbie's places always became, at least OA has been in one spot for 30+ years and not totally reliant on the dime of others and constantly shuffling from place to place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't think OA has any business trying to manage the amount of horses that they do but this was Debbie's choice. She declined all sorts of offers from other smaller rescues to get these horses where they are now and then bitches and cries about the neglect and abuse they are alledgelly enduring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Debbie has it in her mind that this is not her fault, she is once again a victim. I just have one thing to say to her...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Hey Debbie you fucking crazy ass nutbag loser-YOU put the horses there. No one but YOU! If horses are dying and starving to death it is YOUR fault. No one else's! See what happens when you cry wolf one to many times, no one except for a handful of other nutbags believe your shit!  YOU are the cause of ALL of this drama! Sleep on that for a while!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems like the handful of rescues that are left on ABR are all at each others throats. Competition for the few dollars that remain there is my guess. The Board Nazi doesn't even show up much these days unless it's to promote his latest blog entry or to ban someone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had to laugh...the other day one rescue was going after another. The rescue throwing the venom was also posting on ICERS and had posted they and Alex were emailing and they were getting banned. So yeah, t happened...the rescue gets banned. Some people weren't happy and made it known. Alex pops back on and posts "XXXX was banned by mistake" and walla, they are back on. Way not to put any blame on yourself Alex! After all it wasn't YOU who made the mistake, huh? LMAO. Little man, big ego is perfect and cannot personally take the blame for mistakes I suppose......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning with my first cup of coffee I read where a horse has been down for hours and it wasn't the first time. The horse is 30ish years old. Of course everyone is wishing the horse well and a few posts down I read "&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;I know that feeling I had it for two yrs with my first horse that lived to be 38. For two yrs we would lift him to his feet because his back legs were not stong enough to push himself up&lt;/span&gt;".......that's some real quality life there losers! I am so glad I'm not a rescue so I can make horses endure more pain and suffering at the hand of so called saviors than they ever could at a slaughter plant! Most of these people have no business owning a frog, let alone a horse....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-2174098182410999830?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/2174098182410999830/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=2174098182410999830' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/2174098182410999830'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/2174098182410999830'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/take-two.html' title='Take Two'/><author><name>BUC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15705405605815218278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SwFpBR71AnI/AAAAAAAAAGA/u68hlMeR8J8/S220/meandmypony.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768785598615885369.post-2063033016299700701</id><published>2009-03-04T07:32:00.005-06:00</published><updated>2009-03-04T07:42:35.924-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Congratulations Alex Brown Racing!</title><content type='html'>*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WOOT! 1 Million posts!

Wasn't LL one of those?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would think if the Board Nazi was any kind of man he would have done put down his pencil writing about the memoirs of brushing Barbaro and wrote some kind of press release to protect his beloved board and FOB's before some nut like me comes along and exposes the truth of the matter :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and as for the head honcho scam cover up moderator mistress on ABR:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="Right-click to bookmark Alex Brown Forum #24250.5" target="_top" href="http://www.blogger.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=24250.5"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;24250.5&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; in reply to &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a target="_self" href="http://www.blogger.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=alexbrown&amp;amp;msg=24250.1"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;24250.1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SHAME on you for giving her the time aday on here.. You of all people "should" know better........... tsk tsk tsk... good job&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe you &lt;em&gt;should&lt;/em&gt; have given me the time of day instead of banning me and deleting my posts when I popped in with info on Lifelines.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;_________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Onto more fun stuff :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ran across this post on ABR this morning, love it, love it, love it......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="Right-click to bookmark Alex Brown Forum #30815.1" target="_top" href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=30815.1"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;30815.1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do any other posters here wonder if outsiders that read this forum get the wrong impression? I know that often, when trying to educate the media, and our public officials, they are given links to this BB, for info on slaughter/rescue. If for some reason, they then "browse" around this forum, they'll find people trying to pretend they are Barbaro/Nicanor posting on a BB, or they see posts from people who are writing that they are sobbing hysterically about Barbaro this long after his death, or people being asked to light candles for a dead horse because the number of candles is low.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you ever worry that those things make us look like whackjobs, and therefore reduces the credibilty of our anti-slaughter position? I mean, the pro slaughter side can tell people, "Well, just go LOOK at some of the posts on that forum. Those people are nutjobs!" And if they read some of these threads, they'll agree with the pro slaughter side. The good that has been done by members of this forum becomes invisible, when pro-slaughter side people use the other posts to prove that the anti slaughter side is a bunch of emotionally unstable, middle aged housewives playing the adult version of "My Pretty (dead) Pony".&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Personally, Im afraid to link to this BB (even the WIKI section) for fear that the reader might actually browse around...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to give this gal some credit. She's taking major heat for her post and she didn't go back and modify or delete it. Of all the FOB's out there, this woman truly "Gets it". She's been a member there for quite some time but is being treated the same as "I see you just joined today" posters....If I was this gal I would take what marbles I have left in my brain from even attempting to be a part of this and run like Forrest Gump! It's clear she is to "normal" for that place :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-378063911343685101?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/378063911343685101/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=378063911343685101' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/378063911343685101'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/378063911343685101'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/nut-bags-whackjobs.html' title='Nut Bags &amp; Whackjobs'/><author><name>BUC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15705405605815218278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SwFpBR71AnI/AAAAAAAAAGA/u68hlMeR8J8/S220/meandmypony.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768785598615885369.post-164784645651563493</id><published>2008-11-20T13:15:00.007-06:00</published><updated>2008-11-23T12:29:36.995-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tee Theresa Driesbach Lisa L. Zeller Wiliam Lifelines Rescue Hidden Meadows Equine Rescue ABR FOB Alex Brown Racing Redneck Resue Bitsy Dodd Lifelines Farm Sanctuary'/><title type='text'>More ABR Scams, Lies, Cover Up's &amp; Dead People?</title><content type='html'>*&lt;br /&gt;Well it's been a couple of exciting weeks over on the nut bag board......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me start with giving you a little history on a rescue called Lifelines, who claimed to be a 501c3 rescue....for the last couple of years they have been on ABR begging for anything from feed to fence to rent. They've had to unexpectedly "move" at least 3 times that I know of.....around every corner there was a red flag but the FOB's choose to ignore them and continuously threw money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several questions were raised over time.....and we all know that isn't allowed on the Nazi board to begin with, but what made this rescue even more protected from criticism is that one of the moderators on ABR, well, this was one of her babies. I can't tell you how many times I've seen posts deleted and members banned for asking legitimate questions of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets fast forward to November 6th.....A post is made by the moderator who has sang praises and glory for this rescue (MaryLOhio), that the owner of Lifelines, Theresa Driesbach, had passed away the night before. And to PLEASE send (can you guess? :) MONEY to the husband who is going to carry on her "dream"....referring to the rescue of course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine to everyone's surprise when the obituary came out and the owner of, here after referred to as LL, Lisa Zeller had passed.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Damn little digging uncovered that the Zeller woman was indeed who everyone referred to as Theresa Driesbach, Lisa had been convicted of identity theft at least once. Also uncovered, again &lt;strong&gt;with damn little digging&lt;/strong&gt;, that SUPRISE! LL was indeed not a 501c3 rescue, she had been arrested on more than one occasion, was involved in dog rescue at one time and was found to be a fraud then, not to mention a little abuse going on too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure there is shit I'm missing, but honestly I'm not going to put that much energy into today's blog with going through all the crap I've researched and saved.....that should have been the job of all the people who threw money.....but I especially blame the moderator for what I can only refer to as a major cover up with all the praises she sang and posts that were deleted and members banned when anyone questioned LL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MaryL has since modified the &lt;a href="http://forums.prospero.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=30278.1"&gt;original death post&lt;/a&gt; to take out the part to send money of course......AFTER God only knows ow much money was sent. It's all about covering your tracks over there :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So not only could all of this had been avoided with allowing questioning, now the members who donated to a fake 501c3 have to worry about the money they claimed on last years taxes and not being able to claim any donations on this years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It gets better...if you didn't waste your time reading the link I posted above here is a basic run down for you of the events since Nov. 6th....well ok, the events since the beginning of LL coming to ABR. LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LL begs funds on ABR for 2 years.....right down to carrots and rent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Red flags everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You ask questions, you get banned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Double difficult, rescue is friends with a MOD. Questions 200% prohibited.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LL owner dies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mod comes on, announces death, says please send all your $ to husband to help carry on "the dream".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obituary comes out....whoops, different name than the person they knew!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LL owner previously convicted of ID theft......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next day husband who is "carrying on dream" is selling horses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More info comes to light. Rescue owner has about 6 identities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Opps, more info....LL owner died of AIDS two years ago too per a dog rescue forum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SS# were required on all the adoption contracts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Husband supposedly skipped town with the computer with all evidence on it....not to mention the "dream" money....wait, husbands back? Where is the computer? Who the fuck knows....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LL used a fake 501c3 and as been collecting donations for 2 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People who claimed them on taxes last year are fucked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bottom line.....person may or may not be dead, thousands of dollars given to the rescue after the death at a MODS request, and a hubby of felon with a ton of SS#'s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a way I feel a little guilty getting this much pleasure when a person could have actually died....then again I'm not overly bothered because of a long list of convictions from the ID theft to animal abuse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The FOB's worshiped this woman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh....and since the funds were raised on ABR ALL the FOB's think they own them and there is a huge power struggle going on. It's fucking awesome....sorry.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's about 10 threads going on now for this debacle.....there easy to find if you have several hours of your life to completely waste that you'll never get back. So far there has been several people claiming to be in charge of what going to happen to the horses now. It depends what day it is as to who's in charge. It's a huge cluster fuck!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One would think after this mess that the board Nazi and his minions would allow some questioning of rescues to go one. Hell, it even looked promising for a minute. But it's gone back to business as usual over there....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A rescue that amazing enough, several FOB's have questioned, took &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=30672.1"&gt;a little heat&lt;/a&gt; yesterday. The rescue is called &lt;a title="mailto:HiddenMeadowsEquineRescue@msn.com" target="_blank"&gt;Hidden Meadows Equine Rescue&lt;/a&gt; or HMER for short. Another that needs money for absolutely everything, down to band-aids, and has a farm that looks like a shit hole.....not to mention the lady has a real tough time with math, but it's ok, it always works out in her favor ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Questions deleted, members banned and the thread was locked. I see it's back open for posting now.....someone must have thrown an empty beer bottle at the board Nazi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bottom line is, AGAIN, if questions were allowed, standards set, people researched and moderators playing fair, the LL deal could have saved people a lot of time, energy and money....but I guess it would take away from the "numbers saved" that seem to be the MOST important thing over there.....even though I guarantee they couldn't tell you where 10% of those horses are now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/ICERS/messages"&gt;ICERs&lt;/a&gt;, I read a couple of things over there this morning that had me ROTFLMAO and so true......I have to share :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/ICERS/messages?msg=955.1012"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;Top 10 Standards of Behavior required on ABR that banned posters did not meet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;10. Smile all the time, or send smileys, or send bunnies that smile, or any cartoon with a smile on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;9. Tell Alex how wonderful he is and how important he is to the horse industry on a daily basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;8. Overlook any seemingly odd situations at "rescue" organizations in order to use more smiley cartoons, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;7. Say "I get it" or "She gets it" or "You get it" in at least three posts a month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;6. Mention Barbaro, what Barbaro is doing now, what Barbaro is thinking now, or any form of Barbaro comment whenever possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;5. Take photos with orbs and post them regularly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;4. Tell Alex how wonderful he is and how important he is to the horse industry on a daily basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;3. Pretend that ALL the horses ever given money to were REALLY RESCUED/SAVED from the kill pen, kill buyer, death, bad rescues, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;2. Whenever Alex writes a blog, column, goes on the radio, etc. be prepared to follow this up with a gushing comment on how important he is to the horses.&lt;br /&gt;AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON............ARE YOU READY..........???? CAN YOU GUESS????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;1. WIKI WIKI WIKI WIKI WIKI WIKI WIKI....

What's even funnier is instead of keeping my email on a list or just looking it up, he had actually &lt;strong&gt;replied&lt;/strong&gt; to an email I had sent him almost a YEAR ago! Which he never answered BTW.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;For you reading pleasure.....the email I sent almost a year ago he hit reply too :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;On Fri, Aug 10, 2007 at 9:26 AM, &lt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="blocked::mailto:bighorse@mchsi.com" href="mailto:bighorse@mchsi.com"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;bighorse@mchsi.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&gt; wrote:&lt;br /&gt;Hi Alex,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you please tell me what kind of rule I violated on your forum to be banned this time?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And why in the world would you delete a post where I was defending myself? Why are you allowing me to be slandered like this? Do you have that much hate towards someone you do not know? Did you even read it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why am I expected to sit back and watch as people keep bringing my name into stuff that I have nothing to do with?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you know it takes less than 60 seconds to get a new ID every time I have been banned? I would think that you would want to know which one I was to keep an eye on me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would really appreciate an answer. I find the fact that you allow this kind of slander without allowing one to defend themselves very disturbing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danielle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Remember.....this ALL took place before this blog was born....the Blog was born on Thursday, December 27, 2007 as a direct result of this email I sent to Alex on Aug 10, 2007 and NEVER got a response......... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;With my jaw on the ground that he was saying how fair he thought he'd been after not responding to this email for a year (I don't think he ever meant to include the text from the old email :) I sent him this back:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;From: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:bighorse@mchsi.com"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;bighorse@mchsi.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2008 9:41 PM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;To: [mailto:alexbr.brown@gmail.com]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;Subject: Re: Forum&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;How do you think you have treated me fairly? This email is almost a year old and you never answered it. Read the questions…..do you think they are unreasonable questions? If someone is being slandered they should have the opportunity to defend themselves, that is not an unreasonable request. Yet it went ignored.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was the ONLY reason for my blog, I did not start it before you started playing censorship. Doesn’t feel too good to get trashed and not be able to say “Now wait a minute…..” Now does it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would love to have an open dialogue with you if you’re interested. You are catty, I’ll give you that. And maybe I might just find something nice to think about you when were done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dani&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;After 20 days guess what I got back?

Why are rescues on ABR still offering horses needing homes for NO adoption fee? Why aren't they picking up the phone and calling AWI to come get them?

Has "free leased" several over the past 6 months but somehow they either don't work out, she repo's them the "karma" isn't right or she takes in more. She had 45 6 months ago and she claims to have that many now.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;It finally happened.....In march it was made public tat she lost her place. Well, she didn't make it public, even denied it for a while....but her landlord gave permission to post an email she sent to Debbie on the internet.

Well this is where she is getting kicked out of too! It looks like a cute little place.....do you want to hear the worst thing about all this???? The people who own this cute little cabin gave it rent FREE to Debbie when she moved in.....before the hoarding days (or who knows, she may have been starting over from a hoarding past?) when she had 18 horses she "rescued".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But instead of taking good care of her little rent free haven she goes and fucks the place all up. Remember the &lt;a href="http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2007/12/and-another-dandy.html"&gt;picture&lt;/a&gt; of the horse INSIDE this nice little rent free house? And all the garbage in there? Some thanks those people got for their kindness....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She claims to have another rent free place for them all to go now......she says the new people "Get it"......no, they don't now but I'm sure they will......&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Typical day on ABR for Debbie.....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Debbie: I need more money!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Debbie's minions: BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Debbie: I was communicating with the horses today and they said they wanted more cookies and they never want to be rode or work a day in their life.

Of course the FOB's about shit themselves and immediately went to &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=24036.1"&gt;condemning the seller&lt;/a&gt; and reporting the auction to any eBay email address they could find.

So where is the fearless leader in this time of need? Well.....he's posting about his new blog on the NYT and promoting it! Sorry FOB's, your shit out of luck.....oh, he did post a little blurb about the filly....but it was also on the NYT blog....no comfort on his mother ship forum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He did make it back to his own forum in time to do another round of banning members though! Like I said, emotions are running high and you have a lot of FOB's bashing horse racing right now.....so instead of trying to understand, giving some healing time, he goes right to the ban paddle. What a sad little man.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a couple of his comments....of course I added my thoughts in green :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;those that were banned either advocated for the end of horse racing or simply suggested they were done with the sport.  this IS a horse racing site. &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;Hum...but you turned it into an anti slaughter, saving the world site. Like it or not, horse racing does contribute to the slaughter pipe line dumb ass.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;there is also a distinct lack of respect for me and the sport among a few prominant "FOBs".  I will likely simply just ban those ppl if their behavior continues and they know exactly who they are.  enough is enough.  respect is necessary. cheers, alex &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;I repeat, respect is nessecary!!!!! My fragile little ego can't handle it when you speak the truth!Even though I am a moron I DEMAND respect!!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;This is what he posted to a gal he obviously doesn't care for to much and I get the feeling she's not a big fan of his either :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lynn, you have been banned once.  you came back under another username, which breaks the rules.  i have perservered with you assuming it is the right thing to do.  you have shown significant lack of respect for me for a long time.  i am stating this for the last time, respect me or leave.  cheers, alex&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt; But Alex, doesn't this person work hard for what the FOB's are suppose to be? Why should anyone have to kiss your ass? Oh, ego....that's right. Well at the rate your going you will be down to the 16 year old little girls and the lonely old house wife Alex worshipers soon enough....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Another thing.....Alex is suppose to have a good education and is writing a book about Barbaro and the FOB's......can his spelling and grammar suck any worse for someone who is so much into self promotion? OMG......LMAO!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I just have to post this.....there is a lot of stupid shit posted over on ABR but this takes the cake. It's in reference to the death of Eight Belles. WARNING...........Please do not read this with any food or liquid in your mouth....LOLOLOLOLOLOL!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thank you for the picture. I want to throw up still. Thank God I have all of you in my living room via the net. That innocent smokey gray creature with her adorable striped tube socks on her legs lying on the track still wanting to run is stuck in my head and I can't go to sleep. This is what nightmares are made of. Afterwards,  these lady horses are forced to have sex with different men horses they don't know that well so they can become pregnant only for their baby to be taken away is sad. I will never see the Kentucky Derby as a festive wonderful event. We need to respect these creatures. Judgement day will come for us.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-7902247060745461505?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/7902247060745461505/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=7902247060745461505' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/7902247060745461505'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/7902247060745461505'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2008/05/eight-bells-board-nazi.html' title='Eight Bells &amp; The Board Nazi'/><author><name>BUC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15705405605815218278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SwFpBR71AnI/AAAAAAAAAGA/u68hlMeR8J8/S220/meandmypony.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768785598615885369.post-2680060941565543324</id><published>2008-04-24T12:07:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2008-04-24T17:49:51.660-05:00</updated><title type='text'>How Loooooow Can You Goooooo</title><content type='html'>I've seen this stuff from ABR before and it always pisses me off so I thought I'd share just how low some can go.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's a few FOB's that are obsessed with craigslist. If a cheaper of free horse is put on there they email and "warn" them about the evils of slaughter and how sneaky kill buyers are waiting on these horses.....because God knows that with the prices of horses and prices of fuel, all the kill buyers are cruising craigslist and scouring the country side putting on a big act to take poor little "Buttercup" from his loving owners straight to the killers.....he's worth so much damn money ya know....And there certainly aren't enough unwanted horses floating around by the hundreds in the auction houses &lt;sarcasm&gt;. Geesh....LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway....every now and then the FOB's receive an email back that just makes me smile. I'm going to share this one from a gal who put a &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=22570.1"&gt;free horse on craigslist&lt;/a&gt;......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Excuse me, but who are you to tell me what to do with my horse I paid money for? You need to keep your nose in your own business. I have three other mares that I rescued from the blm who are just fine. She will be going only to an approved home where she will be loved. Please, for future reference, keep out of peoples business from now on. I am not your charity case to try and save, and niether is my mare".&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gotta love it........but here is where the lowness comes in......instead of leaving this person alone, they have decided that this person should not own a horse. Here is what their trying to pull off.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"I wonder if this lady is interested in providing her last name or the horse's brand number so that I can call Jason at 3-Strikes and he can get a hold of Sally in D.C. with the BLM and have the lady blacklisted from adopting any MORE BLM Mustangs from the BLM.  She said this is not the only Mustang that she has, and I dont feel that she really needs to have any more.  Clearly stating she's not working with the horse, so off the ships it to someone else who will either slaughter it or send it on down the line from home to home."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"You could try emailing her and ask her for the BLM ID. She is likely to tell you the same thing but worth a try. I am hoping my email scared her a lttle. I just found another 2 BLM mustangs for sale near me for $100 each and I emailed that person also."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"you could try approaching her as a potential adopter and ask for the info"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"I think I'll email her.  Since you can find out a lot about the horse's history by their brand, it would make sense that I'd want to know as much of the history as possible if I were a potential adopter.  I wish that horse was closer because I'd go get it and go pay a visit to Jason.  I hate it when people go adopt a horse from the BLM and then just become irresponsible about it and pawn it off on someone else."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nice ain't it &lt;insert&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, what the FOB's are doing is called SPAM and it's ILLEGAL. But the FOB's are on a high pedestal (in their own minds) so it makes it ok......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, this lady has been warned that she is being discussed on an internet forum and these good people have decided to play judge and jury......this kind of stuff makes me want to poke my eyes out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a happier note, I did join &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/ICERS/messages"&gt;ICERS&lt;/a&gt; forum. They are anti slaughter but have a pretty good grip on reality. I wasn't met with "open" arms......but aside from a few FOB's melting down and coming over to try to run me off they have been very accepting of allowing me my opinions even though they know where I stand on the slaughter issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are so many more woes in the horse world right now that have nothing to do with slaughter. They deal primarily in calling out the bad rescues that are scamming people out of money and warning others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and check this out.....a while back the Board Nazi, Alex banned everyone that actively posted in ICERS. Imagine that...LOL. The little man just can't seem to handle reality :) He even banned people that are very active in helping in the rescue community (legitimate rescues that is.....).

Thank you for pushing the practice past our borders and out of control of the USDA's standards for humane treatment of food animals. We also appreciate your lobbying to pass the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act currently in Congress, which will end the transport of unwanted horses to foreign slaughterhouses and keep each and every one of them within the borders of our beautiful nation-alive and well!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You'll be pleased to learn that the "alive and well" part is where you come in! A new organization has been created through the cooperative effort of the numerous horse industry organizations and the USDA, called "Save Horses In Trouble-Help End Abandonment &amp;amp; Death," or SH!THEAD for short. In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, and to alleviate the pressure on existing rescue facilities to take in the thousands of unwanted horses, we have decided to place one unwanted horse under the personal care of each and every person that supported banning horse slaughter in the United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you may know, since the slaughter facilities have closed, not only have rescue facilities and shelters been inundated to the point that they have to close their doors to new arrivals, but many horses have also been neglected, starved to death, or abandoned because of the record high hay prices. Therefore, your participation in this program is mandatory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We understand that it is your feeling that horses are pets, not livestock, and since most people in the United States do not choose to eat them, therefore no one should, and all horses should live out their lives in an idyllic pastoral setting. We also understand that while your relatively large 40' X 40' suburban backyard isn't exactly Yellowstone, it will just have to do. We are certain you will make the necessary adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your unwanted horse is of unknown origin, but is roughly 6 years old (although we can't get close enough to him to tell for sure), weighs approximately 1500 pounds and has a mean streak a mile wide, and has been known to randomly bite, strike, or kick, especially at small children, elderly people, and house pets. We have decided to call him "Satan."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While Satan is capable of physical aggression, unfortunately he is not able to be ridden because of his crooked front legs. He is capable, however, of reproducing, as he is a stallion. This is of special import to you, as your neighbors and fellow members of the "Horses Are Humans With Hooves" group will also be provided with horses through our program, some of which might be mares.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For your information, the $20 you donate annually to the Humane Society of the United States can instead buy you approximately two bales of high-quality hay at the current market rate. Assuming that the bales weigh 100 pounds, and you feed 20 pounds to said beast per day, this will be enough to feed him for ten days. You will be happy to know that the lifespan of a horse averages about 25 years, and therefore Satan can bring you approximately 9,125 days of enjoyment. That is, of course, only if you provide him with the best care possible, which we are absolutely certain that you will. To ensure that Satan is receiving proper care, an inspector will visit your home on a weekly basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At your request, we can provide you with contact information for veterinarians, farriers, trainers, equine dental practitioners, whisperers, and tranquilizer gun dealers in your area, as well as the necessary contacts you will need for euthanasia and disposal of Satan's earthly vessel when he crosses over. We foresee that Satan's death will be especially traumatic for you, being the enlightened individual that you are, and counselors are already available at 1-900-NO-SENSE. ($3.99 for the first minute, $1.99 for each additional minute).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, there is no government financial assistance for care and maintenance costs of SH!THEAD horses, as all of the funds allocated for such things are dedicated to the Bureau of Land Management's Wild Horse program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gene E.

These people (with the exception of a couple) really DO "Get it". I've toyed with the idea of joining there, even though our views on the actual slaughter issue is different I can't find to much else to bitch about with their practices. I know I wouldn't have to fear the censorship I received from ABR.

Devastating to you personally because you helped rob people of thousands of dollars? Or devastating to you personally because book sales just went down?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clueless Alex really SHOULD have some notiriety for his fantastic awesome skills! I mean who else could think of a diversionary tactic like that! Take the heat off himself for being in bed with CBER for so long by his yet again "I'm gonna shut the board down!" threat. Is it true that little men need big egos to compensate for their little.....um....oh well.....never mind :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Really, I wonder where HIS accountability lies. This whole idea of funneling money on a public Internet forum thing really creeps me out anyway......But then again that whole board creeps me out.....LOL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OMG my head is spinning from all the excitement today.

The days turned into weeks......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looks like it's pretty much the same old shit, different day out there. All of the articles and news peaces on starving and abandoned horses are pretty depressing. Hay and grain prices suck. Fuel prices blow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wasn't shocked today when I logged onto ABR and found &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=21613.1"&gt;another rescue&lt;/a&gt; has went down and taken the FOB's money with them. When will they ever learn. And how about their fearless leader Alex? FOB's are screaming for accountability and their he sits, quiet as a church mouse. The silence is louder than anything he could say at this point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also noticed another one of his favorite rescues he stands ferociously behind, CBER, has had &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=21571.1"&gt;another round of difficulties&lt;/a&gt; and no accountability. When questions were brought up, the Board Nazi quickly closed the thread.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I noticed that someone mentioned Mustang Hearts in the comments section. I actually &lt;a href="http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2007/12/and-another-dandy.html"&gt;did a blog on them&lt;/a&gt; a while back. Not much has changed, their still begging for every flake of hay on ABR. Now she's loosing her place, won't answer any questions but expects people to donate. Oh, and I also learned she can tame wild horses in a week &lt;insert&gt;.....what will be next, she's already a psychic too....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll never understand why the Board Nazi allows this kind of stuff.....I guess it goes to prove some people don't care what kind of light is shed on them.....as long as there IS light on them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and LOL.....this &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=21647.1"&gt;thread about Barbaro&lt;/a&gt; is just entertaining....are these people 13 years old?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-91281757920678871?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/91281757920678871/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=91281757920678871' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/91281757920678871'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/91281757920678871'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/long-time-no-chat.html' title='Long Time No Chat'/><author><name>BUC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15705405605815218278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SwFpBR71AnI/AAAAAAAAAGA/u68hlMeR8J8/S220/meandmypony.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768785598615885369.post-9085897408929588639</id><published>2008-01-25T13:50:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2008-04-11T18:25:25.063-05:00</updated><title type='text'>You Guys Are Killing Me!!!!</title><content type='html'>And no, I don't mean in the terrorist way that the FOB's would like to kill someone if you thought a horse was &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; a pet.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean the information and down right funnies you guys are sending!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today this blog is your one stop shop for FOB entertainment &lt;a href="http://s232.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/bustedupcowgirl/Smilies/Smilies%20With%20Signs/?action=view&amp;amp;current=bravo.gif" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/bustedupcowgirl/Smilies/Smilies%20With%20Signs/bravo.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's start with a few articles.......A funny from &lt;a href="http://deadspin.com/344956/time-for-another-dee-mirich-poetry-jam"&gt;Deadspin&lt;/a&gt;.

There are scraps of paper and empty coffee cups and dead-soldier wine bottles and books and food wrappers piled high around him.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;He lives here, set back from a quiet street, his house decorated in late bachelor, mostly with chess sets and photos of Barbaro.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Without Barbaro to rally around, the FOBs helped other horses, saving almost 600 so far, like this one named Mattie.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In the virtual world where he spends five hours a day, he's God. He created this universe. He banishes the disruptive. He offers redemption to the recalcitrant. He's learned he cannot get involved in arguments because his opinion is law.

I bet if it was a relative they would have been shoved in the first hole that was dug. Yes, play it for all you can get out of it. 100 posts from people who think they know where Barbaro should be buried and the posts begging for hay that are all over the place barely have a reply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought &lt;a href="http://www.thehorse.com/ViewArticle.aspx?ID=11161"&gt;this article&lt;/a&gt; was interesting. Pretty much dispels the theory that people from other countries don't have a clue what's going on. But people like me already knew that ;) I have also been reading where the radical zealots have been writing the author to tell them how wrong they are....idiots....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha Stewart....well I can't stand the lady to begin with but this just adds to it. She had Equine Advocates on her show (&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APg72ZlHOmY"&gt;youtube video of the show&lt;/a&gt;), I didn't have much of a problem with that, they were pretty good about representing the facts, only a couple of slants thrown in. What does upset me, and she should be publicly flogged for it, is putting her audience on the spot. Equine Advocates had a petition to sign and Martha told everyone in her audience to sign it. Sorry, but there was not nearly enough information thrown out there for the audience to make an educated decision. Of course the FOB's couldn't believe there were no gasps or sighs from the audience when horse slaughter was mentioned!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also loved how Martha showed off her barn manager. I bet she does a lot of hands on with those horses...NOT! Of course Martha has a &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APg72ZlHOmY"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; but you won't see any pro slaughter comments being posted on it..sure you can waste your time trying to let her know that what she did by coercing her audience was unmoral at the least, but the blog police will only allow complete zealot responses ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I've been gone for a few days due to feeling crappy and being busy.....so I'm sure I'll have more random thought shortly when I can catch my breath!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-7250768377375053693?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/7250768377375053693/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=7250768377375053693' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/7250768377375053693'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/7250768377375053693'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2008/01/random-thoughts.html' title='Random Thoughts'/><author><name>BUC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15705405605815218278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SwFpBR71AnI/AAAAAAAAAGA/u68hlMeR8J8/S220/meandmypony.jpg'/></author><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768785598615885369.post-9166164853532131043</id><published>2008-01-12T11:36:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-01-12T11:59:30.916-06:00</updated><title type='text'>My Friends Are Twisted :)</title><content type='html'>But I still love them dearly....LOL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yesterday I'm minding my own business when a package arrived at my door.

Hell no...just like I am not anti rodeo or anti eventing or anti anything else that might take an animals life from time to time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How did Barbaro become the anti slaughter poster child anyway? The TB industry, although they profess to be anti slaughter, send TB to the slaughter house every day. More horses die in TB racing than any other equine sport.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barbaro and the Jackson's....hummm....ok, so Barbaro's owners are anti slaughter, or are they? I seriously have to wonder. I mean it was no secret in the beginning that their main intention after Barbaro's break down was to get him breeding sound so they could MAKE MORE MONEY. My gut feeling is the Jackson's picked up on Barbaro becoming an anti slaughter poster child and played that route to stay in the lime light because of the attention their horse was receiving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course any respect I might have had for the Jackson's went out the door when the FOB's were allowed to act like PETA. Any respectable person would not allow what is going on on the ABR forum. If you worshiped a false idol (Barbaro) and talked of God while in the same sentence threatening people and judging them for their different views, I would know you were a lunatic and NOT want to be associated with it. So that alone tells me the Jackson's have a few screws loose too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AGAIN, the Jackson's only intent was to get Barbaro BREEDING SOUND to MAKE MONEY. No secret....watch the early news clips and read the articles. It was stated many many times....it wasn't until later on they jumped on the radical bandwagon...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just a little something to think about.....And of course, as always, this is my OPINION!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-5842302973671492168?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/5842302973671492168/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=5842302973671492168' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/5842302973671492168'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/5842302973671492168'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2008/01/barbaros-dead.html' title='Barbaro&apos;s Dead?????'/><author><name>BUC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15705405605815218278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SwFpBR71AnI/AAAAAAAAAGA/u68hlMeR8J8/S220/meandmypony.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768785598615885369.post-7599103662126255154</id><published>2008-01-10T09:57:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-01-10T10:14:40.367-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Save The Horses!

The majority of the anti slaughter crowd seem to be Democrats. Now I'm NOT going to get into party bashing....I believe you vote for the candidate that best suits your wants, needs and views.

Because I feel VERY strongly about abortion.....in essence the radical anti slaughter group is saying "Save the horses, kill the babies".

You can attack but can't be attacked in return?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I've been voting!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;___________________________________________&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here is an exchange on the ABF board where the FOB's tell you how to vote often....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I voted earlier...can we vote more than once?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;yes you can! as long as you go out of the msnbc site completely then back in... if you only click the same link to it, it remembers your IP address... if that happens? Clear your temp files and cookies... that should do the trick!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Don't forget if you on dial up all you have to do is clear your cashe and cookies and you can vote as many times as you want!!! No tracing IP's!!!&lt;br /&gt;___________________________________________&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let's fast forward to the present.......If I broke down all the polls they have cheated on today's blog would never end.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A poll done by &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_311.html#usercomments"&gt;Washington Watch&lt;/a&gt;. This is concerning Bill S.311 and HR 503:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can we vote twice?????????????&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I just voted again--Yeah!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I just voted. Going to try again later.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;(Of course you will!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The vote is on the same page as the comments but I think people were missing it so I thought it should be pointed out when I saw we were losing! I think we should be ahead in no time now:)&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;(OMG, you were loosing? Thank God you started cheating!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I knew those numbers would change as soon as the FOB's knew to vote!&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;(Of course they would with the vote often method!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Let's just keep it at one vote per person the voter police is watching and then she blabs it all over the internet to tell everyone the only reason antislaughter is ahead on votes is because we cheat.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;(Yes, let's put up a good front on the internet, just trying to keep you honest! And do you really think the numbers would be the same if you didn't cheat?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I'm not too concerned about the pro HS comments, long as the NUMBERS are in our favor.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;(Yes, cheating is the MOST important thing!!!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hay - it let me vote AGAIN!&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;(Why would an honest person, who had no intentions of cheating even try to vote more than once? ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;_______________________________________________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ADMIN of Wahington Watch is arguing that cheating isn't possible because it keeps track of your IP. Good in theory, sucks in reality. A short course in FOB poll cheating 101 will clear that up real fast. Also anyone with any computer knowledge at all knows there are a million loop holes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;It really is a shame that there can't be an honest poll out there and let people who actually own horses voice their opinions and have a fair playing field.....But as long as these radical wackaloons are out there that will unfortunately never happen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;And no, you won't see a cheating campaign for the PRO side being formed by me....that's something the anti side cannot seem to get through their head, the majority of us pro people are not radical and feel the need to spend hundreds of hours on the net "educating" people by lying and cheating.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Todays call/fax list:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senate Majority Leader: Harry Reid ph: 202-224-3542 fax: 202-224-7327&lt;br /&gt;Senate Minority Leader: Mitch McConnell ph: 202-224-2541 fax: 202-224-2499&lt;br /&gt;Senate President Pro Tempore: Robert S.

Naturally I smirk when I get these and it's really not worth the time addressing it, but what the heck :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First off, dogs and cat's really ARE pet's. They are not livestock, never have been, never will be. I am not confusing a 1200 pound horse (Livestock!) with a 20 pound lap dog (Pet!).....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, dogs and cat's have never been food in America. Yes, the horses carried us into battle, plowed our fields and took Granny to the doctor.....but when those horses were injured or became unusable, guess what? Most became food......Like I've said before, you won't see that on "Little House On The Prairie" but it happened. A brief Internet search through history can confirm that for you.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do find it a shame that millions of dogs and cats are euthanized every year due to lack of owner responsibility and just dumped into landfills or cremated....Yes, I do wish we could come up with some kind of use for all of this unnecessary death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, I'm not suggesting a new addition to the menu.....that would be more than even I could stomach.....but isn't it a much sadder world that this is going on without much relief in sight while something that is considered livestock is taking such a beating???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another interesting fact for you.....horse slaughter for human consumption in the USA is illegal....we all know it has to be shipped overseas....but consumption of horse meat in the USA is NOT illegal. Horse meat dishes can still be found here in the USA in a few of the elite restaurants. Thus even further blasting out the "Americans don't eat horse" BS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, I'm not going to name the places where you can go enjoy a nice horse steak....they aren't places that the average middle income family will ever walk into anyway.....and I'm certainly not going to cause more grief.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Internet is also a wonderful thing. If you get the hankering for a nice sweet horse steak then with the click of a few buttons and a credit card you can have it shipped right to your door. So anyone on the fence, I suggest you try it before you knock it. With the ever increase of our beef, I find it a shame it's not readily available for everyone to enjoy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-5769238519089486015?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/5769238519089486015/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=5769238519089486015' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/5769238519089486015'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/5769238519089486015'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2008/01/puppies-kittensoh-my.html' title='Puppies &amp; Kittens.....Oh My!!!'/><author><name>BUC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15705405605815218278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SwFpBR71AnI/AAAAAAAAAGA/u68hlMeR8J8/S220/meandmypony.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768785598615885369.post-3166996448761453747</id><published>2008-01-05T08:43:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-01-05T09:15:40.952-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Saturday Chuckle :)</title><content type='html'>Remember the picture a couple of days ago with the lady feeding carrots out of her mouth to a horse? Well it seems that she isn't happy about it.....LOL....like I give a shit! If you don't want pictures floating around on the net then quit posting dumb ass shit!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course she didn't have the balls to comment to the blog.....instead she posts on a public forum, but for your entertainment here is what she had to say:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEY BUC UP. THAT PIC IS OF ME AND MY 25 YEAR OLD TB GELDING. HE DOES NOT BITE AND IS NEVER EVER GOING TO BE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION. WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR 15 YEARS. SO KISS MY IRISH ARSE, YOU BLOODY IDIOT.GOTTA DANCE HAS DONE IT ALL WITH ME AS MY FRIEND AND COMPANION, ''PRELIM'' EVENTING, WINNING AT GROTON HOUSE AND LEDGYARD FARMS INTERNATIONAL,KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS,DRESSAGE SHOWS, HUNTERS,JUMPERS, HE IS THE GREATEST TB AND DOES NOT HAVE A MEAN BONE IN HIS 25 YEAR OLD TB SOUND,FIT BODY.gotta dance is guarenteed a forever safe happy home with us filled with love,kindness and caring plus tons of carrots.lol.

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE SOME SPELLING/ENGLISH CLASSES.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course anytime I run across something like this it only proves my point on the radical nature of these so called horse loving individuals. It also makes me ROTFLMAO when someone who obviously has worse grammar than me telling me I need to take classes.....LOL....If I'm going to say something so dumb ass I would at least have enough sense to use a spell check button and use proper English myself ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would take you about 2 seconds on &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages"&gt;ABF&lt;/a&gt; reading the posts by this &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=17321.24"&gt;whack job (baldface)&lt;/a&gt; to realize she really needs to put the bottle down! LOL! And the funniest thing of all is there is only about 2-3 people on the whole ABF board that think she's normal. The rest of the antis even have enough sense to see a whack job when it hits them in the face so hard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So thank you Kathleen/baldface for giving me a Saturday morning chuckle :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judging by the way you had hold of that carrot I'd be assured that if your "rescue" ever goes under you will have some job security ;)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-3166996448761453747?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/3166996448761453747/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=3166996448761453747' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/3166996448761453747'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/3166996448761453747'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2008/01/saturday-chuckle.html' title='Saturday Chuckle :)'/><author><name>BUC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15705405605815218278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SwFpBR71AnI/AAAAAAAAAGA/u68hlMeR8J8/S220/meandmypony.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768785598615885369.post-6083084955971302343</id><published>2008-01-03T23:09:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-01-03T23:18:04.301-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Huckabee 2008</title><content type='html'>Ok, I am a die hard Republican.

Plants used to be scattered all over the USA, but due to anti slaughter advocates getting our plants shut down, now horses are traveling long distances in often horrible conditions to meet the same end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bills have been proposed to shut down the Mexican and Canada borders to make it illegal to ship US horses to slaughter. Ok, then what? The thinking is that horse owners will automatically become "responsible". As another blogger wrote:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;According to one study the main reasons for horse neglect and abuse is owner ignorance - the second is financial hardship. How does banning slaughter address either situation?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hard fact....most reputable rescues are already up to their armpits in horses and have "No Room At The Inn" signs up. What happens to horses when financial hardship happens and all other outlets are full? I just ask you to think about that rationally for a second....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only that the wording on these bill are a little scary. &lt;a href="http://www.aaep.org/position_HR503_S311.htm"&gt;Here is what the AAEP has to say about these bills.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tired of sitting back watching what's happening to our horses? Tired of only one side being heard? What can you do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well the anti slaughter crowd calls, email and faxes congressmen and senators on almost a daily basis. It's hard to bitch if you're just sitting back watching it all happen. Just picking up the phone once a day can make a world of difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-8421023360360431640?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/8421023360360431640/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=8421023360360431640' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/8421023360360431640'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/8421023360360431640'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-to-get-active.html' title='How To Get Active?'/><author><name>BUC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15705405605815218278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SwFpBR71AnI/AAAAAAAAAGA/u68hlMeR8J8/S220/meandmypony.jpg'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768785598615885369.post-6392144472298924385</id><published>2008-01-01T12:13:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-01-01T12:35:34.677-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Think Globally, Act Locally.....</title><content type='html'>Someone sent me an email with these words in it "Think Globally, Act Locally". This person "gets it". Even though they don't necessarily agree with some of my views, we definitely have an understanding on this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you act locally, worry about what is in your own back yard, do what you can do and move on, it would have a global effect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Critters have been on this planet for thousands of years. Most managed quite well without us. Some were used for work, most were used as food, very few were used for companionship. Do people not realize all these changes have came about in basically the last 100 years? Really, what makes it ok to eat a cow, chicken, hog or even a fish any different than a horse?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone who has ever actually WATCHED the slaughter process of ANY animal can figure out in about 5 seconds that they all show terror for those few seconds before the axe comes. We used to raise Ostriches.....I can tell you right now that is NOT one happy bird when they get on the trailer to be slaughtered. I had 6 in the trailer once and I looked like a drunk driver going down the road with all the fishtailing from the "unhappy" birds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We used to have HORSEMAN in this world....now we have a bunch of horse owners. Especially since any idiot can own a horse now for $20, or less. We have "rescues" popping up over night, people begging for money to care for these horse and rescue more. Where does it end? The good rescues are packed full and the shit hole rescues that might as well be hoarders are going to all need saving soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can scream owner responsibility all you want, but the cold hard facts are it ain't gonna happen any time soon. If it was happening then we wouldn't have to put to sleep 192,308 dog/cats per week or 27,473 every day......or 1 every 4 seconds......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't understand why a lot of these PETA type people, who think they are doing so much good, do not realize how badly they are hurting the horses they say they love so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people want to blame everything on the economy...well I'm not buying into that either. I remember the summer that I was 11 years old. I worked all summer to buy a filly I had fallen head over heels for. 4 year old, green broke, papers, but nothing really special. She was $900.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I was 11 Carter was in office. Am I the only one even at the ripe old age of 11 that remembers how our economy was then? Mortgage rates at an all time high. The job market sucked. But this filly was still $900 bucks. Now I could buy 9 just like her with that $900.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People can sit at a desk and write "white paper" articles and stuff all day long. Heck I could do that myself. Does that make everything true, or anything for that matter? I hardly think so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are at a FIRST time right now where the USA hasn't seen horse slaughter. There's not a soul out there who can say what is to come and what will happen. All I know is that the plants are closed, abuse and neglect seem to be on every corner and getting worse, and horses are a dollar a dozen. And I don't think it has a thing (for the most part) to do with the economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not a horse hater, I'm a realist. And it makes me mad to see an industry that I was once proud of being a part of crumble to the ground. If horses had to be treated like the livestock that they are to keep a descent price on a horses head, then so be it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If people would tend to their own back yards and stay out of other peoples it would make a world of difference that I think we could all live with.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-6392144472298924385?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/6392144472298924385/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=6392144472298924385' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/6392144472298924385'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/6392144472298924385'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2008/01/think-globally-act-locally.html' title='Think Globally, Act Locally.....'/><author><name>BUC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15705405605815218278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SwFpBR71AnI/AAAAAAAAAGA/u68hlMeR8J8/S220/meandmypony.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768785598615885369.post-8769499676545126690</id><published>2007-12-31T20:04:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-12-31T20:51:40.526-06:00</updated><title type='text'>WoW....</title><content type='html'>I find it incredibly amusing that the FOB's seem to think I made this whole 11 horse deal up.

(I wish I knew...LOL) Well because obviously it's ok to hoard horses, put them in shit hole facilities, not be able to afford horses unless you beg for money on the Internet, not give horses adequate vet and farrier care.....but if you are over 120lbs. and actually ride your horses, they consider THAT abuse?

I know FOB's aren't used to seeing a healthy horse but come on now....LOL.....Would it make you feel better if I only hoarded horses and didn't ride? Or is it my adequate fencing, lack of hillbilly junk shit in my yard, the fact that all my animals are well taken care of and healthy and you can't find anything else to pick on?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yeah...my speeling!

So please keep on ranting about fat asses on horses. What you don't realise is your only confirming everything I have said! The FOB's don't know a horses head from their ass! Just so you know.....the peppermints go in on the end with the nose.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BTW my "pony" is a Morgan. I kinda like him. I call him my pony. He's not a mini dumb ass :) Here is what a healthy, well taken care of horse looks like, I know FOB's don't get to see them very often, so please let me share!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://s232.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/bustedupcowgirl/BoBo/?action=view&amp;amp;current=botrailer.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Spring 2007" src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/bustedupcowgirl/BoBo/botrailer.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BoBo in his "My Pretty Pony" get up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://s232.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/bustedupcowgirl/BoBo/?action=view&amp;amp;current=bohead.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Fall 2006" src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/bustedupcowgirl/BoBo/bohead.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See that construction in the back? Guess what that is??? It's a barn (now finished) we paid for and built all by ourselves without begging for money from anyone!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey wait a minute, someone is getting screwed here and I think it's me! LOLOLOL! I mean all my animals are technically rescues....I think I should start a rescue and everyone can pay to feed and take care of MY animals! Think of all the extra beer money I could have! I might be able to make myself enough money to buy me one of those fine looking crack shacks and fence clear up to my porch!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://s232.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/bustedupcowgirl/BoBo/?action=view&amp;amp;current=thebos2.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/bustedupcowgirl/BoBo/thebos2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;This is what a horse and a pony look like. Now they should easily be able to identify the difference....LOL&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Let me leave you with a little fact.....bet you never thought that the radical whack job's could get an education here! A healthy horse can carry 20-30% of it's body weight. I'll have to eat a few more HossBurgers before my 1200 pound pony has to do any huffing and puffing :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yes, thankyouverymuch, I do have spare time on my hands to be able to blog because &lt;strong&gt;I don't have more critters than I can afford to handle&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;and properly take care of&lt;/strong&gt; :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-4923358315038800574?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/4923358315038800574/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=4923358315038800574' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/4923358315038800574'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/4923358315038800574'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2007/12/sunday-morning-funny.html' title='Sunday Morning Funny'/><author><name>BUC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15705405605815218278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SwFpBR71AnI/AAAAAAAAAGA/u68hlMeR8J8/S220/meandmypony.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/bustedupcowgirl/BoBo/th_botrailer.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768785598615885369.post-994300442872354746</id><published>2007-12-29T22:01:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2007-12-29T23:44:16.606-06:00</updated><title type='text'>And Another Dandy......</title><content type='html'>It isn't surprising that &lt;a href="http://mustangheartsrescue.wordpress.com/"&gt;this hoarder&lt;/a&gt;...um, I mean "rescue"....cough, cough.....would have a link to the Animal Angels site on her web site &lt;a href="http://mustangheartsrescue.wordpress.com/welcome-to-mustang-hearts/if-you-would-like-to-help/links-to-others/"&gt;links page&lt;/a&gt;.......Loon's of a feather flock together....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I normally hate to post great big pictures but to fully appreciate the mess these horses are living in I have to. Horses are separated by 1 saggy strand of wire or if she couldn't get her hands on that there is always bailing twine tied end to end.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s232.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/bustedupcowgirl/MSR/?action=view&amp;amp;current=sss.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/bustedupcowgirl/MSR/sss.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I put in nice big gaudy red arrows to help you identify fencing.

It's ok if he shits on the floor, there is so much junk in there you wouldn't notice it for a few months anyway....No halter or lead? Nawww...just open the door and let them roam in...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s232.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/bustedupcowgirl/MSR/?action=view&amp;amp;current=jj.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/bustedupcowgirl/MSR/jj.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least their well fed.....I mean she isn't buying hay, her supporters are, why shouldn't she spread it out in her stalls?

She didn't buy those either....some other city slickers who don't know jack about horses bought them after she said she needed them......They could have bought enough 5 strand electric fence to make the place safe with the bucks they shelled out for these. $80 panels and a bailing twine gate......priceless.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s232.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/bustedupcowgirl/MSR/?action=view&amp;amp;current=vv.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/bustedupcowgirl/MSR/vv.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still wondering what I am bitching about? Well she loves to post her stories on the Internet along with these fascinating pictures. What I have learned from her postings??????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She bought a bunch of horses at an auction, wrote a bad check, then went on the Internet and begged for the money to cover the check. That's responsible! NOT!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She now has 45+ head of horses living in the crap hole fencing conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her land and house are rented....no real biggie but the owners are talking about selling and all she can talk about is saving more horses?!?!?!?!? When she gets kicked out on her ass then what?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She says she's "disabled" and cannot work but she can care for 45+ head of horses?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of these horses she says are "un adoptable" because of one reason or another. One of the reasons are a lot of them cannot even be handled. Nice, with this many horses they never will get handled either!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She's posted numerous times of horses getting loose or getting injured on her fencing....well no shit dumb ass! Have you seen your fence?????? We all have! Didn't ya just post you had 2 out again last night?!? LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a year she has only adopted out 2 horses....and that has only been after several people have accused her of being a hoarder by her Internet postings. Note that their are NO horses for adoption on her web site....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several people are trying to get her to see the light...DONT TAKE ON MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE!!! But everything goes over her head. All she can say is "would you rather them go to slaughter?" My answer is YES! Please dear God before one of them gets out and runs out in front of a car!!! That might actually kill a HUMAN! They would have died less painful at slaughter than they will from infections from all the wire cuts!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This rescue will be in need of rescuing very soon I bet......&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-994300442872354746?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/994300442872354746/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=994300442872354746' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/994300442872354746'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/994300442872354746'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2007/12/and-another-dandy.html' title='And Another Dandy......'/><author><name>BUC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15705405605815218278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SwFpBR71AnI/AAAAAAAAAGA/u68hlMeR8J8/S220/meandmypony.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/bustedupcowgirl/MSR/th_sss.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768785598615885369.post-618660606271736885</id><published>2007-12-29T15:09:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-12-29T15:43:34.398-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Rescues Needing Rescued</title><content type='html'>I'm not so sure rescues are a good thing...the more I read about them the more they scare the hell out of me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.coloradoan.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071228/NEWS01/712280327/1002/CUSTOMERSERVICE02"&gt;This is an interesting story&lt;/a&gt;......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so sick of animal hoarders working in disguise of a "rescue".

Gee thanks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, you guys aren't a bit radical &lt;insert&gt;......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yahoo mentioned Barbaro on their Top 40 Sports Figures of 2007. Barbaro dropped from #16 on the list in 2006 to #26 this year....this is what Yahoo had to say....&lt;br /&gt;__________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;26. Barbaro (16)&lt;br /&gt;"Some say he was a 'warrior' or a 'hero' and had a strong desire to win races. But above all, he was featured in our pages because people seemed to forget he was a FREAKIN' HORSE. He was bred unnaturally, had small ankles that snapped in half and is now glue. We'll miss you, buddy." – The Sports Hernia&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;__________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;Of course the FOB don't have one single ounce of humor in them, especially if you talking about their own little God like figure, the Big B, so they didn't appreciate what Yahoo had to say at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some of my favorite quotes from some of the reactions about this story &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=18199.1"&gt;on the ABF forum&lt;/a&gt;....nothing radical here....um, cough, cough...Of course I had to throw in a comment here and there in green.&lt;br /&gt;__________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;its disgusting. this person needs to be "horsewipped".&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Barbaro was a hero, great athlete and showed us love and perseverance and the true beauty of life.......... even though he left us for a better place in order to guide us for the greater good.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;(The greater good...anyone else have flashbacks of the movie HOT FUZZ?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;this "writer" really is a manifestation of the anti-christ. Anyone who can say anything bad about Barbaro really has the devil inside them&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;(Honey, every good Christian knows you never use a little c when typing Christ)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;jealousy--hatred of great achievement--need to tear others(Barbaro) down to get some kind of perverse "lift". sounds like the kinda stuff the legalists used to say about Christ. jealousy. that says it best, dear FOB.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;These people usually really hate God and anything associated with HIM. That's why Christ was crucified, because he was guilty by association: with God. Barbaro is associated with God.............. (and so are you).&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;(Most scary thing I have read on the Internet today)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By the way Barbaro was cremated not made into glue.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;(Yes, lets get THAT straight...LOL)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;considering that Christmas is very solemn and Barbaro's track going downhill began around this time. The timing is extremely sensitive to Christians and FOBs. Obviously, at the moment he was writing he was not spiritually connected. Anyone who is connected wouldn't say those horrible things about Barbaro.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As for bred unnaturally, Dynaformer and LaVilleRouge loved each other so much at the time they conceived Barbaro to make such an extraordinary, RARE beautiful "freak of nature." This usually happens when both parents reach such a high spiritual plane and divine connection with each other that this is the product of their "love making." &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;(Um, WTF?...A stallion in breeding season would mount a monkey if it held still long enough...gee, I didn't know horses were capable of that deep of emotions...)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Barbaro kind of reminds me of that Twilight Zone episode "The Prime Mover." Where a simple, yet very special broom sweeper is very happy being himself until others just want a piece of him and his amazing abilities just for their own greedy exploits (like Jesus again). Barbaro changed the energy of the world without even being in the same room as many of us.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There is always so much jealousy for SUPER STARS&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;(Yes honey, I can't believe all the people who are jealous over a dead horse and a group of wackaloons that worship him)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;__________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, enough blogging about the FOB's this morning....those quotes made my head thump, LOL. I think I'll go grab another cup of coffee and maybe watch one of my favorite movies....Seabiscuit :)....will that make me the anti Christ because I think that story far surpasses Barbaro?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me leave you this thought though....I know someone in Government that is doing some checking on our Mr. Brown (The Board Nazi). Let's just say the FOB's might not like what he is doing behind the scenes.....Stay tuned!!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-6002904114144064864?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/6002904114144064864/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=6002904114144064864' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/6002904114144064864'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/6002904114144064864'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2007/12/omg-omg-i-am-not-radical-waclaloon.html' title='OMG OMG I am NOT a RADICAL Wackaloon!!!'/><author><name>BUC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15705405605815218278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SwFpBR71AnI/AAAAAAAAAGA/u68hlMeR8J8/S220/meandmypony.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768785598615885369.post-8932205054715174336</id><published>2007-12-28T07:43:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-04-03T19:04:05.324-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FOB ABR Barbaro Pro Horse Slaughter Alex Brown'/><title type='text'>Is One Animal More Precious Than Another?</title><content type='html'>Um...I'm thinking NOT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't get this whole anti horse slaughter crap, especially from people who are shoving a hamburger in their mouth while crying about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What makes a horse more precious than a cow, chicken, rabbit, or any other animal MOST people indulge in?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's look at some videos.....Here is how horses were slaughtered in the US plants before the plants were shut down. &lt;a href="http://s147271628.onlinehome.us/HorseSlaughter.wmv"&gt;Horse slaughter video, .wmv file&lt;/a&gt;. What's so Godawful about that? The horses are standing quietly in line. Ok, there's a few seconds of terror before the bolt gun comes into play but what horse has NOT gone through a few seconds of terror whether is the non trailer loader or simply one of those horses that get all panicky if their feed bowl is in a new place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now if you've watched this video and are freaking out "OMG OMG those poor poor precious horses!".....&lt;a href="http://www.goveg.com/swf/255-mym_cattle_dairy.swf"&gt;let's meet our beef&lt;/a&gt;....&lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZXVhRgrv9Bk"&gt;Kosher slaughter&lt;/a&gt;.....mmmmm, &lt;a href="http://www.petatv.com/tvpopup/video.asp?video=pigs&amp;amp;Player=wm"&gt;bacon&lt;/a&gt;.....&lt;a href="http://www.petatv.com/tvpopup/video.asp?video=mym_chickens_egg&amp;amp;Player=wm"&gt;Chicken nugget &lt;/a&gt;anyone?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, these video's are bad, they are from PETA, worse of the worse...but my point is these animals don't look very happy to end up on a plate either, so what's the difference?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You want to become a vegetarian? Go for it....I kinda like my big fat juicy T-Bones thankyouverymuch!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like it or not horses ARE livestock...not pets! They are classified under federal regulations as LIVESTOCK!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you know what happened to horses when they were injured or killed in war? THEY ATE THEM! Same with Old Bunny the family field plow machine. No, you won't see that on Little House on The Prairie, but it's just how it was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally I would LOVE to lobby to make horse meat readily available in the USA. It's the leanest meat out there, wonderful sweet flavor and it's pretty damn good for you actually. I'd have no problem adding it to my regular diet.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-8932205054715174336?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/8932205054715174336/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=8932205054715174336' title='22 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/8932205054715174336'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/8932205054715174336'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2007/12/is-one-animal-more-precious-than.html' title='Is One Animal More Precious Than Another?'/><author><name>BUC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15705405605815218278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SwFpBR71AnI/AAAAAAAAAGA/u68hlMeR8J8/S220/meandmypony.jpg'/></author><thr:total>22</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768785598615885369.post-6400407070843660875</id><published>2007-12-27T13:20:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-04-03T19:05:33.334-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FOB ABR Barbaro Pro Horse Slaughter Alex Brown Fans Of Friends Church PETA Animal Rights'/><title type='text'>First Impressions</title><content type='html'>Well I always like to make a good first impression (LMAO), so I am going to start with a rant about my favorite group of people...NOT....but you better get used to it, I'll be ranting for days to come I'm sure!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They call themselves the FOB's...Friends Of Barbaro....Fans Of Barbaro....and if you worship the dead horse and think he speaks to you in a special horsie language then you might call yourself "Frenz Of Barbaro".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through out my rantings you will probably hear me say "Radical anti slaughter groups" a lot...yes, when those words roll off my fingers I will be referring to the FOB's and PETA type people....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They gather &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and spread venom and hate about anyone with views other than theirs...so I thought I'd return the favor :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's ran by a funny looking little English man named Alex...I refer to him as "The Board Nazi" (I'll explain my nick name later on :)....but I think my most favorite Internet nick name for him is "Clueless Alex"...seems the most fitting anyway......He claims to have been around horses all his life, works as an exercise jockey, lives in a country that eats horse, but somehow magically didn't know slaughter existed until he had the good luck to be acquainted with Barbaro and ride his tail wind into his own little world of self proclaimed notoriety. That's only the beginning of his cluelessness though.......stay tuned.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and here's an ad floating around the Internet for "Clueless Alex":&lt;br /&gt;__________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For sale: Clueless Alex. Trainer says this bay, English-born TB gelding never lived up to his potential as a stakes winner. Has no bad habits except sticking head in the sand and making sounds that the trainer swears approximate the words "ridiculous" and "cheers". Trainer is optimistic that these habits will disappear once he is no longer stabled with CBER, a big money maker whose victories have long been under a cloud of suspicion. An easy keeper, needs only barley and hops. Any offer will be considered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;__________________________________&lt;br /&gt;It started out innocent enough...The trainer the Board Nazi worked for trained next to Barbaro. When the horse broke down he had a front seat to the action. He started posting updates about Barbaro under his trainers Internet site, started a forum, and the FOB's were born.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not going to get into bashing the horse.....He was a nice looking animal who may or may not have went on to win more races. It's only some kind of silly little fantasy to call him the greatest one ever. I mean, he's dead, no one will ever know. I'm sure he is even rolling around in his urn rolling his eyes at the things that are being said about him. I think even a dead horse is smart enough to know it's insane to worship a false idol...So, setting the horse aside and realizing he doesn't deserve any ill words...it isn't his fault that idiots surround him....that's all I have to say about Big B himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now if the FOB's would have settled with just being a support group and maybe a few new race fans were born then all would have been well and good...BUT a lot of these people have decided to go out and "save the world" so to speak. End horse slaughter....become horse rescue advocates.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now we have these people living in high rise city apartments who have never owned a horse deciding the fate of the American horse. They toss money at rescues who will abide by their every word and rule and push the problem off on someone else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They have became so blind in their ways that they will throw money at almost anything as long as you swear on the Bible and Gods name that you would sell your soul to end horse slaughter and you worship Barbaro. It doesn't matter if you have 2 acres, 40 horses and bailing twine as fence....just say your anti slaughter and the money comes rolling in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Board Nazi and his FOB site could keep me busy for years just tearing apart some of their silly ideas and people they see as "rescue facilities" for years to come...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, now back to the Board Nazi.......I call him this because if you come to his forum you are not allowed to express any kind of opinion that is not in line with his...your post will be deleted and you will be banned before you can even say Clueless Alex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There used to be some sane people on that board which I did feel were truly in it for the horse. Of course between the Board Nazi and radical wackaloons they are getting harder to find. They are dropping like flies from there leaving a bunch of idiots to run the show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A small rescue I know well was being attacked on their board a few weeks ago...The rescue has never asked for funds or anything from the FOB's...the rescue simply had an opinion which was not in line with this group so they felt the need to trash them on the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got me a brand spankin new ID (all my previous ones have been banned :) and made a post (ONE post! LOL) in support of this rescue......I did not even break any of his site rules.....guess what happened? Can ya guess, huh, huh, can ya? LOL.....My post was deleted and all the hate filled venom posts were left there. The thread was locked and my ID banned from posting. THAT's the kind of stuff that has earned Clueless Alex the nickname of Board Nazi with me ;) It happens so frequently on his forum......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, so much to rant about and so little time.....I suppose I'll pick this back up where I left off tomorrow....lucky you....LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me leave you with this.....the horse has been dead for over 47 weeks...how do I know this? Because every Monday (Barbaro was put down on a Monday) a thread pops up titled "Barbaro XX weeks after"...and now were up to &lt;a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=18140.1"&gt;week 47&lt;/a&gt;, yep almost a year......Some of them even admit from time to time that they didn't grieve their mother/father/grandparents for this long.....ookie dookie....creepy.....and sad.....I see creepy sad people.......&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7768785598615885369-6400407070843660875?l=bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/feeds/6400407070843660875/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7768785598615885369&amp;postID=6400407070843660875' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/6400407070843660875'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7768785598615885369/posts/default/6400407070843660875'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bustedupcowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2007/12/first-impressions.html' title='First Impressions'/><author><name>BUC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15705405605815218278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wA27Q0r9YGk/SwFpBR71AnI/AAAAAAAAAGA/u68hlMeR8J8/S220/meandmypony.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry></feed>
