Show Notes

The owners of the horse show, Valitar, are a wealthy, conventionally attractive couple called the Remley’s.

Mark Remley is a little bit older. Perhaps nerdy, but the type of guy to get into peak shape later in life.

Tatyana Remley is his wife with bottle blonde hair and a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model body. She’s also the main star of the Valitar horse show.

The Remley’s invested over $20 million dollars into the show, just to lose every single penny of it after multiple scandals back to back.

Allegedly, horses were abandoned with nothing to eat and massive creative differences led to performers quitting. Former staff members would come out to allege that Tatyana Remley doesn’t even know how to ride a horse that well…

Later, the couple is featured on TV as a well known swinger’s couple, a pillar in the local sex-swinging community. That’s just a side quest though; the most scandalous thing that happened at Valitar was the decapitated horse head on the Remley’s marital bed.

Thankfully, it’s not an actual butchered horse head. It’s just a hunk from one of their very expensive statues in their $5.5 million dollar home near San Diego, California.

And it’s clearly not been placed there as a mistake. This is a targeted threat. And by the end of the investigation, one of the Remleys, the founders of the failed multi-million dollar Valitar horse show, will be dead.
