[RC] Black Water Boogie: The rest of the story! - LinLaurFarms
Shame on you
Roxanne! How many times have things gone astray with “He
said, She said”. We could have gone without the blow by blow I am sure
it is something both parties would like to forget. But since you have created a
mob to stake out and burn the “ATACKER” like the Salem witch hunts, I will repeat what I
heard.
And since my husband Wade has had a personal verbal attack with
expletives during the Lost Posse rides “Controlled” start by Paula Blair. Paula
kept yelling at him to move so she and her husband Jeff could go around. While
they rode on single track and following to close to our mares butt at the same
time. My husband finally turned around and warned her that the mare may kick,
and that it was a controlled start and that she could not run over the ATV. I am
leaning toward believing that the version I heard is how it took place. Because,
Wade is a very-very laid back man, and everyone knows that about him. It takes a
lot for him to return verbal artillery especially at a woman.
SO….. The way I hear it was that around 3:30 a.m. the person staying with
party #1 turned on a generator when he awoke to feed and check the blankets of
the horses. Then he got some of the vet check items ready and saddles and tack
arranged. This took some time and then he simply left the generator on SINCE IT
WAS SO COLD. And I was also told that many others had them on all night as well.
So, as I am told, Paula Blair began
to yell and swear at the man, throw buckets and then pack up her stuff and move
her camp.
Then while on the trail she ran up behind party #1 yelling expletives
like some crazy person, embarrassing party # 1. So, after she finished taking
care of her equine partner she approached Paula at her trailer in private (not
yelling at the top of her lungs racing down the trail) and told her she did not
appreciate her embarrassing her in front of fellow riders. That she was going on
about some generator noise that she was not even responsible for in the first
place. At this point, so I am told, Paula began to verbally assault the real
attack victim, putting her finger in her face and backing her up. And
then to her complete surprise, Paula put her hands on her and began to shove
her. At this point Paula grabbed a hand full of “the victims” hair, who by the way is a
whole 110 pounds soaking wet and 5’3 on a good day. At this juncture she had no
choice but to defend herself against Paula’s attack.
She continued to ask Paula to let go of her hair and
stop. It took a gentleman separating Paula from her to stop the attack. And have
it be known that the Police officer, So I am told, asked if she wanted to press
assault charges against Paula. She simply stated that she just wanted to finish
caring for her horse and go home. She was told that Paula had rider optioned
prior to the incident and that she asked for the police escort because she was
in fear of another altercation with party #1.
So, now that you have heard the side I was told. And I believe that the
Police talked to several witnesses and made their determinations prior to
leaving or I am sure they would have given someone a ride in the patrol car.
