KSA (Kingwood Service Association) has turned a blind eye to age discrimination, false bylaws amendments,safety violations, and violation of not for profit status for Trails End Stables in spite of numerous letters and pictures presented to them. Here is the cliff notes version of each infraction. Trails End Stables is run by a Board of Directors.

1) our current President, as well as last years secretary, have repeatedly verbally abused a 75 Year old couple because they didn't like them. Ex. For 2 years the husband has felt so uncomfortable,after he was told he couldn't fling the manure right because he was an "old man" and has not come to the barn for fear of continued verbal abuse. Their sweet horse is 30 years old, half blind, and crippled. Lies were spread by the past secretary that alienated the membership against this couple. She even went to the President of KSA to have them kicked out because she didn't want them there. I have copies of the ugly emails sent to them over the past 2 years of abuse. Millie was told a few weeks ago, very loudly by our President, "we don't want your kind here" they have had enough and fear being evicted by the Boards misuse of fake bylaws they are governing by. She feels forced to take the risk of moving her very old horse because it has gotten so horrible for her there. No one speaks to her and talks behind her back. It is unconscionable what has been done to this couple.

2). "Amended" By Laws allowing the Board to evict anyone for without cause were given to the membership in August. Our lease requires amendments to be voted on by the whole membership. These "amended" ByLlaws were snuck in our binders as "Here are the missing pages" at the general election on August 1st. The President and her two cronies used this, through lies and manipulation, to evict a family that had been there for 7 years. The lies and eviction hurt their 10 year old daughter. I had to hear her bawling her eyes out for 3 weeks. Two of these women have been there less than a year. Unspeakable to hurt a child like that just to run out someone you "don't like". The last amended by laws that have any record of voting are from 2010. These By Laws require a vote of the whole membership to evict.

3). Our By Laws and lease states no unattended horses, no smoking, no loose dogs, and no lessons are allowed to be taught by members (this violates the not for profit status they are trying to get). I have pictures of board members loose horses(which charge around sometimes endangering visiting families with strollers and toddlers, and loose dogs. Beware of bringing your children to Trails End. You never know when horses will be bolting and charging around unattended. Our President's friend was seen entering the hay barn with lit cigarette(the barn currently does not have fire insurance and there are live animals), and lessons are being given by a member and have been for the past year. She pockets all the money for her own gain. According to Not For Profit status, all profit must be reinvested into the membership for maintenence and expenses.

This trainer was angry at a member and flew into the walking area in front of the stalls at an alarming speed, skidding to a stop. She came within a foot or two of 6 children and some of their parents. A police report was filed and the DA is currently investigating. She is still coming to the barn to teach lessons and train horses.

All of this information has been submitted to KSA, as well as, the list of members that are leaving because of: the unfair eviction (we are afraid we are next since they can now kick people out with no warning for no cause), unsafe environment (loose, charging horses) (we are in a public park with a lot of visiting toddlers that could get run over), and the verbal abuse and foul language by members of the board and one that just quit. They have chosen to ignore our plea for help. I have emails and pictures.

Please comment and respond to this feed. The more responses we get, the better the chance the Observer will pick up the story. The wronged families would really like the opportunity to expose these two organizations that rule by fear. 

Can I assume this concerns Trailwood since it involves horses? I think the KSA/Kingwood Management needs revamping as a whole. Rules are not fairly administrated.... 

Trailwood has nothing to do with the stables. Have you called Ethel with KSA and asked her about whats going on? How much involvement does KSA have with the stables board of directors? 

I have sent numerous pictures of the loose horses and who owns them. The family that got evicted went to Ethyl for help before it happened. The elderly couple went there numerous times about how they were treated. They did allow the eviction without hearing both sides. A petition was passed around Trails End asking for an emergency meeting about the by laws and the board refused. They don't even have a full board and haven't since September. They have not offered the membership an opportunity to vote 2 new board members in. They determined that the 5 in charge were enough according to September meeting minutes. A member repeatedly asked the Secretary for September and October Meeting Minutes as well as current financials. They never received them. What are they hiding? All members are entitled to copies of these documents. 

It is Texas law that if you send them a certified letter that they have to respond within ten days and provide you the documents you are requesting. 

Most of the villages pay into KSA. Why are we all paying for something that is for such a small group? I have friends who have asked about stalls because someone told them it was first come, first serve on a wait list but were told "they would get back to them" when there were empty stalls. Another friend asked about horse riding lessons for her daughter when visiting and was told yes, then no, then "they do but it is on the down low."

You should know these are two completely separate organizations. Go to a KSA board meeting if you want to voice your complaints. This is run by a board of directors. Kingwood Association Management just does what the board tells them to. 

I wondered if Matthew M. would respond to this thread...lol. Never fails! 

Hmmmmm.......sounds like the HOA board in BB. Scandalous decisions..... 

Every story has two sides. The content of this story is very one sided and I do not see your intent. Adding this story to social media is a crewd display of discontent by a ONE disgruntleted member. As I see it, The vast majority of the KW Horsemembers association have been applauded by the generosity from KSA. Please seek the advice of those whom can help you.
