TNJ............. BG's Just in Case List Gets Creative................

Part One

The next thing on BG's "Just in Case " list was another one of those things he must have thought sounded good. It was one thing to manipulate information to suit his needs, another to just out and out make stuff up and this would be one of those things. It sure isn't anything he did and how he thought he was going to prove he had was beyond me. I just shook my head when I saw listed as item h) 10 days that I (BG) went to your facility and worked horses while Mikael was traveling (3 horses) (approx $13.04 per horse plus gas would be appreciated)

Considering there were no allowances made on the accounting sheet for me ever being gone except for my trip to US Nationals, BG probably meant that he worked horses while I was gone to Tulsa. Knowing, however, BG changed his story when he felt caught, meant I needed to consider other possibilities as well.

I needed to be concerned about proving there was NO time in which BG worked horses at my facility. PERIOD! and that is indeed the case. BG has never trained any of my horses at my farm. NADA, NOT ONE, NO TIME, NO HOW.

I know I said this already but really...... how BG thought he was going to get away with this charge really makes me wonder. What in the heck was the man thinking? This is at my farm with my people here taking care of the horses and they have 30 horses to take care of, which is an all day job.

My daughter, Lindsay, is here each and every day cleaning stalls and watering, feeding, etc during any time BG would have been here. And most days, Dave is here as well, with the exceptions being when he is out looking for a job or running to get hay or feed. Even then Dave is in and out enough he would have seen BG if he was training horses here.

The only time Lindsay is not at the barn, during the hours that WF would be gone to work (which would be the only time BG would even think of training because WF demands his full attention when she is home), would be for lunch and potty breaks. The rest of the time Lindsay is out there working her way in and out of the barns and stalls doing her thing.

To get to the manure pile Lindsay must walk right by the round pen. There is NO other way to get to the manure pile so there's no chance he worked them and Lindsay didn't see him. Besides the dogs would have barked like crazy warning her of visitors if he'd showed up and Lindsay always checks to see why the dogs are barking in case a horse got loose or someone has come.

Even at that, there is NO WAY that BG could work horses here without leaving evidence behind. There just is no suitable area except for the round pen to do any training. The pastures are uneven and grow rocks regularly and I can tell you during this period the rocks needed to be picked. On those occasions when I do long line or lunge horses in the field, there is a track worn to show it's been done and BG ALWAYS starts every session with long lining. The circle patterns would have been obvious. I would create some and then take pics of the circles to prove it to the court.

Before leaving for nationals, I had raked the whole surface of the round pen, bringing the edges down and smoothing the entire surface hoping to avoid the puddles of water that build up in the winter rains. I knew there was the possibility those rains would come while I was gone so I made sure this task was done before I left. There was not one foot print, not one hoof print, but a kitty paw print or two, on the smooth surface when I was finished. It was still like that when I got home, kitty foot prints and all.

During other times I was gone he made no allowances for me being gone and charged training when it was not done. If he did claim he was here any times working horses other than my nationals trip, he would in effect be double billing as well.

So the court could see BG could not have been overlooked here working 3 horses on 10 different days I was going to provide a site map and many pictures showing the different views of my property and the places horses could possibly be worked. I wanted the court to see the view was always clear for Lindsay or Dave to know that someone was here working with the horses.
