Not a motorhome but a Liberty Coach. I have driven several of those over the years. They are very nice with great interiors.

Never heard of her... But then again, I don't get all into the "who's who" of horse worlds - Now if you named a local winner (as in the tri-state area) then I'd recognize the name... Horse names I recognize more often then people names...

Pretty amazing what people will do isn't it? I'm sure they've been investigating her for quite some time. Horse people are crazy.... :)

People who don't understand how the financial end of things work keep asking how she got away with it.

Well, she was the ONLY one doing the books, had been working there upwards of 30 years, and it's a small city so the Town Council and Mayor were probably continually elected year after year.

Contrary to popular belief, it's not an outside auditing firm's job to figure out embezzlement. As long as the financial and bank statements, as well as vendor records matched, the auditors wouldn't have had a clue what she was doing. That's why the whistle blower was the woman subbing for her while she was out on extended leave.

I said that I'd never heard of her but I take it back. I just looked her up and facebook and checked out her photos. I think I've even met her and she was a very nice lady. I have mixed emotions, how can someone that appears to be so nice do something so awful? I know that it's "only" money but it's hard earned tax payers money and how dare she do something like that?

From what I've read, she was pretty smart with her set up.

What amazes me is the outpouring of support that can be seen on her facebook page! I did see a release that showed how she made the 4500 bale so that page may go down shortly.

I wonder how that town feels? I bet they feel "raped".

Greed is one of those powerful traits that can be hidden. What's scary to me is that someone could do that for so long and not be riddled with guilt every day of their lives. I accidentally don't get charged for an item at the grocery store and have to drive all the way back to let them know because I feel so guilty!

I never owned 1 either I just drove buses for entertainers for years. These buses are all handmade inside and just like a home They have full kitchens central heat air just like you home. They are truly something different.

There was one of the lower cost ones on display at Lexington once, they had the area roped off and you could only go in by appointment only. I think this one was only a few hundred k but it had a fire place and leather couches and I think it even had a hot tub!

Why did she have to be a QH person? Ugh...

"Crundwell is one of the top horse breeders in the nation. Her ranch produced 52 world champions, according to the American Quarter Horse Association in Amarillo, Texas, the world's largest equine breed registry and membership organization."

They actually clean up quite well and easy. If you think a person at a show can mess up something try 12 guys living on the bus 24/7 for months. With venues that are all mud. Oh the memories.
