What people used to say about Marie Tooker in 2007:
“Ms. Marie Tooker is the founder of Abbess Farms and the Abbess Foundation. She is a philanthropist in the truest sense of the word. She is dedicated to providing a stable environment for children and for the homeless. Her vision is to create a permanent legacy for future generations of young people in need by preparing them to be active, responsible and productive members of society. Marie Tooker is an active parent and very much dedicated to the preservation of the family. (1)
Marie Tooker, or Marie Guerrera, or Marie Guerrera-Tooker (she goes by all of these) of Calverton, NY came across as a woman who cared about veterans, children and horses. Of course, that was all on the surface.
She wanted the grant money available for the veterans. She received grant money to set up a veterans home, even going so far as to hire an architect to draw up plans for three buildings in the shape of “USA” so they could be seen by planes – ugh, seriously? No buildings have been built to date of course. (2)
“Help-Vets.org plans to try to stimulate business and industry to give them needed grants to create their vision.” (3)
She would rather spend time – and money – in court arguing about renting buildings FOR children, than actually dealing with kids (4). Oh, yeah, and at galas (5)! And, lets not forget running for the school board (6) (7)!
She certainly didn’t properly contain her horses, as they’ve gotten out twice – once stopping traffic on the Long Island Expressway for an hour (8).
And now she just doesn’t bother feeding OR watering them (Story: http://www.riverheadlocal.com/local-news/2069-suffolk-spca-rescues-two-dozen-horses-from-calverton-farm).
“Police were tipped off to the neglected condition of the animals by a court-appointed receiver in a foreclosure action brought against the owner of the farm, according to Suffolk SPCA law enforcement chief Roy Gross.”
“I don’t ever remember seeing a horse in such poor condition; this is not your standard backyard cruelty case.” Chief Gross told the News-Review.
“The ones that were out in the field, obviously had grass to eat,” he said. “And because of the wet spring water that had puddled up, that must have been the water they were drinking. All the animals were neglected, though some fared better than others. We still need to do a complete evaluation.”
The ones that fared the worst, were the ones padlocked in the barn with no food or water.
Bankruptcy
This woman is extremely litigious. She has spent several years and God knows how much money fighting bankruptcy in court (2007-(9), all the way up to 2011-(10) ) Yet she has been hosting a multitude of events at her farm, including rock concerts… and of course making money off of that.
And after all the fighting, she finally actually declares bankruptcy (11)! This after reportedly receiving quite a hefty sum from the county (rumoured to be in the millions), after much bickering (pdf 12) for a measly 45 acres of her land (out of 130 acres)
“Ms. Tooker sold the development rights to 90 of the 130 acres on her farm in 2005 and has held events there in the past.” (13)
I suck at math. I found elsewhere she “donated” 135 acres, but sold off another 45… and seems to have sold another 90 acres? They’re trying to auction off five acres (which includes the house and out buildings). How many acres did she have to start with?

Always Looking for Money
She showed up with a lawyer just to comment on a proposed Indian casino on the property next to hers. Of course, they were interested in her property as well. Either way, whether she sold or just had increased business opportunity with the casino next door, she would have made money. (14)
Reality
What I especially love about the comments on the news stories is that they run from calling Marie a money-grubbing bitch-on-wheels to comparing these latest news stories (about how she’s abusing horses) to a “witch hunt” and to the Nazis – although, those in defense are few and far between. I tend to look at the photos, and read the actual news stories that talk about how some of the horses were padlocked in a barn with no food on site, and no WATER on site. Those FACTS tend to make me believe this bitch is torturing her horses.

Kind of like the “Scared Straight” program?
She provided a permanent legacy, alright, by showing what selfishness and doing things for the wrong reason (self-promotion) leads to.
I love to see people like this exposed. Unfortunately, it was at those horses expense.
Excellent story, Not A Breed. I can’t tell you how thrilled we are to have you hitched up with us. It’s such an honor and I look forward to what you have in store.

Oh this woman is disgusting. Let me tell you something. I have a 9 month old son and this nasty WHORE scammed my family into this foreclosed house she said she owned. Then she illegally evicted us in 3 days. Three fucking days. She probably blew the sheriff to do so. I was pregnant when she promised me that my son would grow up in a wonderful home. Nope she took our money while the house was being foreclosed. And broke into the basement and tried to rip out the all the wires in the home so we had nothing. She is a googely eyed cunt who needs god. Oh and her youngest son..my little brother is 2 years old and who is gonna take him? My poor baby brother. Born to such a vile sick and demented nut job. Hope she likes prison. Scum of the earth

Regardless of the neglect of the poor animals, how is Marie has been able to scam monies and do all the rotten things some of you have mentioned here and is not in jail?
I met this witch at a horseshow that was being held on her property. She forced all everyone to donate $20.00 before you could enter the grounds and it didn’t matter if you were a competitor or someone just coming to watch. I felt it rude that she would force this on people. Now, I question how much, if any of that money went to the charity she was collecting for.
I do not understand why she has not been put in jail a long time ago with all the criminal stories now surfacing. She seems to have alot of enemies, I wonder if she sleeps with one eye open at nite, or is she too arrogant to think she can abuse animals, scam and hurt people and she will remain invincible.

Sorry I haven’t been around folks, I’ve been pretty busy this last few days.
I was quite shocked to come along and read the comments here.
I knew from what I’d seen around that Marie was really snookering people… but it sounds like she’s quite a horrible person all the way around.
And Lynn2? I highly doubt ANY of that money went to the “charity”. I don’t think there’s even actually a registered charity. Was she giving out tax receipts???

Marie – what a total con artist! She obtained loans via fraud, graft and coersion in order to buy the farm in the beginning. She displaced a young family in the process, threw their belongings in a dumpster, tried to steal their vehicles, and attempted to remove 75 horses from the fields. Well, she is finally getting her due & revenge is sweet!
Marie will go down in infamy as a cold-hearted, calculating opportunist. PS Her kids should be taken from her too. She’s not fit to be a mother.

She is a horrible person. I am disabled veteran that can not afford to support my family on my small income . So I supplement my income by doing jobs on the side. Marie called me to say that she had no water to her home nor her Tennant’s home. So we agreed on an amount. My wife googled her and warned me what she read. I always like to see the the better in people, so I did the job. Its winter I was freezing needless to say I was able to drive a well 30 ft. into the ground and gave her water. She didn’t pay me as a matter of fact all she did was (after the job was done of course) was complain that I did a lousy job to get out of paying me. The job was to get water to her house and Tennant’s home. That is what I did. I wasted 5 days when I could have worked for a decent human being not a shit sack. While there the police was called many times because of her problems with just about everybody. I witnessed abuse on what I believe to be her 10 yr old son.I am guilty of giving some one the benefit of doubt. The worse was yet to come for me. She had me drive out 3 days in a row to pick up my pay only to get there and she didn’t have it. I live over 70 miles from her so I lost in gas. On the 4th day is when she said she wasn’t going to pay me. It gets worse. She has my tools that she said if I come on her property 1 more day she will have me arrested for trespassing. I am a fool. My tools is how I do work. Let’s not forget they cost over $500. I feel foolish, but if I can prevent just 1 person from making the same mistake i will be satisfied. WARNING STAY AWAY!!!!!!!She is a theif, a liar, an abuser, and everything everybody says she is!!!!!!!!
