im done...

im not doing anything nice for people who dont deserve it any more....
no more using peoples services because i think they need the money, no more

and why in the hell are some people so stupid that you must talk to them like they are in kindergarten....they just dont get the point...

i do things with purpose if you find something out its because i wanted you to, and dont be so naive to think that who you heard it from wasnt joining on running you down, grow up

okay heres the story...
i always wanted this horse lets call it london....before, during and after being trained by 'bob the barrel horse trainer'....london works good during its training, but then gets sore and the owners do nothing. london still tries to work and is sent home to the owners, WORKING, the owners cant ride london, so they take the horse to an other trainer, this trainer tells them that london works great and that they must learn to ride london....the owners try various contraptions on london because force always makes up for balance, timing, ability and horsemanship, when it comes to riding, hold on im shitting out some more B.S. they have joints injected that dont need it...londons joints are great...i have xrays from that say so....london also has bad dental problems on top of everything else because her teeth were not taken care of at all....london quits working....not because it hurt, but because there was no bond built on horsemanship, love and time spent being a team. london had no reason to try and no help to become solid....so finally after the horse is put thur all this i get london, fully aware of what london is, where london came from and why london is like london is....i didnt care what london was then, i knew once we got everything fixed and i had time to bond with london, london who come back to the real world....i got london, london was under weight probably from the bad teeth, and a complete nervous wreck...mind you london set back all the time, so that didnt help with being sore, london rarely sets back now, and when it happens, london isnt tied up...while im am spending boxes of cash on london trying to fix the problems that were created by the previous owners, i keep hearing all this bad stuff they are saying about me and how im riding her and that they got screwed on the trade.....frankly the london was worth about 3500 or less at the time of the trade i traded them a mare i had listed for 7500 and a 5yo, my uncle threw a fit saying the 5yo was his...so it ended up being just the mare...which at the time was worth far more than london...the previous owners agreed fully to this....so after getting things fixed london isnt really any better so we decided london needs a vacation...during the last barrel race before the vacation, i hear from one of my very good friends that the previous owner had said well i used to run london in an o-ring...horse shit on that one, maybe with a tie down way to tight and some torture rope run thru the rings...any aids that were used on london with the previous owners where never adjust correctly...again with the force thing, works wonders....and we also were told that the previous owners said i better start doing something with london because london was wearing their brand....i decide after much debate over it not say anything, unless i heard something else, well low and behold im at a barrel race myself and i get not one but two calls about the previous owners running their traps again i wasnt told where or when but what was say was the same thing id been hearing for months...and along comes one of the previous owners friend so i tell her when she ask about london she is worthless and that im fixing to cover the brand up so it will no longer embarrass the previous owners and that is all i said about them...then we talk about how london had been running off at the second barrel...when i first got london london ran up the fence at the second barrel at least i got london where london went around it for the most part, and how everything that was wrong with london was training issues, which by that i meant the rapid bit swaps and severe head armor put on london, maybe i should have said lack of horsemanship and skill on the riders part instead, i was just really pissed off at the time and wasnt thinking as clear as normal....i meant for the friend to go and tell them thats why i said it...london is working great and really honest and wants to work now...not forced but asked and wants to....i love london and dont think it was a bad deal the mare traded will be a good horse for them, she is more forgiving and kinder, and london fits me, high matience and gorgeous, and worthless by this of course i mean london doesnt have worth because london isnt for sale...even on the bad days, i still rub and pet on london

so it wasnt me who ran my mouth, i am far above that...i merely ended a false friendship, differently than most would have....i have friends great friends and dont need friendships base on lies

i just wish things would have worked out better and both parties could have been proud of the new owners strides with their new horses, but no to try and make themselves feel better one party had ruin what could have been a good association...it was turned to mocking and bad mouthing....

We should maybe define the word: FRIEND.
