Re: [RC] the end of the @#*?X story! - LinLaurFarms

The way you addressed Ride camp with your first letter and the way it was worded is what caused the problem. It was inflammatory und misleading. I had already talked to Michelle on Sunday morning and heard the details. Most people do not know this about Michelle, but she can paint a very clear picture when she describes things. We have a great talent for understanding what the other is seeing during our conversations.
 
You made it sound as if Paula came up to Michelle at 2 a.m. and said something about the generator and Michelle attacked her and beat her up. And that, because of the attack she was unable to ride. Yes the whole ordeal is disturbing most of all it is sad, very sad..............
 
It was not Paula's place to address Michelle from the get go, she should have advised the ride management, after all they get paid the big bucks. It was also not your place to say something to her on the trail. And yes by that time I am very sure that Michelle was tired of the whole deal and having it mentioned again was most likely like foil on your fillings. Michelle has also said that Paula was yelling at her on the trail near the finish line area. That it what bothered Michelle the most. That was the point of discussion at the time of the alleged incident. No one wants someone else telling or yelling at them what to do, or reiterate rules to them. And the mater is still, Michelle says Paula put her hands on her first and you have stated that Michelle attacked Paula first. That is the issue.
 
It is not for you or me to decide and it is most definitely not for you to air to ride camp making everyone think things that cannot be verified. You placed your commentary on line for everyone to read, but since you did it is my right to reply in turn. And it has nothing to do with the fact that I was not present during the incident, you did not see it either!  So get over it...........unless you looked in your crystal ball and saw it with your own two eyes,  your information is as viable as mine.
 
If you are going to stick your nose in, don't get so pissed when I stick mine in. I have rights and so does Michelle. You are not the sole anointed one with all the rights and privy to all that goes on. Everyone break rules.........your dogs run free all the time, they crap and pee in peoples areas and wondering gin the horse pens. Just because they are small does not make it ok. I have 6 dogs,  3 labs that are over 100 pounds and 3 hunting dogs. They would love to come to the forest and run free for the weekend, but it is not right. When you are 100% following the rules then please jump on your soap box and start to preach. Pull the weeds in your own yard before you point out others.
 
So in other words, let it be...................Please
