EXCLUSIVE: Equestrian Tatyana Remley is pictured holding a belt around neck of ... trends now
Astonishing details inside the tempestuous marriage between the glamorous 'hitman-plot' equestrian and the estranged husband she allegedly wanted murdered for $2million can now be revealed by DailyMail.com.
Tatyana Remley dominated the relationship and subjected older wealthy spouse Mark to 'acting like a scared puppy' around her, according to a former business partner of the divorcing Southern Californian couple.
She was so desperate to be the center of attention at all times that she continually preened herself like a catwalk queen, added renowned Las Vegas-based equestrian showman Erik Martonovich.
'Tatyana ran everything. Whatever she said went. And he just followed her around. Mark was like a sniveling scared puppy,' said Martonovich, 44. 'And I never saw Mark say no to her.'

Martonovich is pictured with Tatyana and Mark. He said Tatyana was 'constantly hitting on me – I brushed it off'. 'Apparently, Mark and Tatyana wanted me to come down to San Diego and sleep with her while he watched. It was crazy,' he added
'She was very, look how pretty I am. The persona she wanted to portray to the world was that she's like some gorgeous Russian supermodel. And maybe supermodel with a touch of Barbie,' Martonovich said.
'I don't think she's actually Russian, and she's not a supermodel. But I'm pretty sure what she's good at is being a gold digger.'
Martonovich also revealed Tatyana was 'constantly hitting on me – I brushed it off'.
And years after he ended his business relationship with the couple, he discovered the couple allegedly hatched a plan to entice him to sleep with Tatyana while Mark watched. 'I was stunned, and would never have been interested,' he said.

Martonovich spoke out as Tatyana, 42, remains in jail in San Diego after being arrested following a police sting at a Starbucks on August 2, where she met a detective posing as a hitman for her 'plot' to kill Mark, 57.
She is accused of asking a friend to arrange a hit for $2million amid a bitter divorce battle in which she told a court she used to spend $50,000 a month, but her wealthy estranged husband had cut her off financially.
The couple lived a life of conspicuous luxury at their $5.3million hillside retreat in Del Mar just north of San Diego – but had a volatile 11-year marriage according to divorce papers Tatyana filed in July.
She claims Mark held a gun to her head at their mansion and also accuses him of chasing her around the house with a knife. Additionally, she alleges her husband was present while she was sexually assaulted by one of his friends.
DailyMail.com revealed this week that Mark has now vanished after he was rushed to the hospital last month claiming he was having a seizure.
Martonovich became associated with the warring couple after they approached him to produce their ultimately disastrous multi-million dollar 'equine-human acrobatics show' called Valitar in 2012.
He had distanced himself from the project by the time it crashed spectacularly with just three performances out of a planned 45 at the prestigious Del Mar Fairgrounds – leaving a trail of furious creditors.
But the experience gave him a unique insight into the couple's relationship and personalities.
'Mark is very socially awkward. He's just not good at talking with people,' said Martonovich, who now runs the spectacular equine event Gladius The Show – billed as 'Cirque due Soleil Meets Mad Max on Horses'.
'Pretty much the only thing he has going for his personality is that he has money - so he used that to get people to talk to him.
'He is also really bad at communicating with women. At least ones that he thinks are attractive. He always had this kind of shaky, weird look.
'Tatyana is fake nice. She was nice to your face, but if you don't do exactly what I want then f*** you.
'I have heard her accusations of Mark holding a gun to her head. I don't believe it for a second because I never saw him even say no to her, much less put up any kind of a fight.'

Martonovich revealed: 'I know that she would attack him sometimes. And I think I walked in on that on one occasion at their house. It stopped as soon as they realized I was there.
'I walked in, she was yelling about something and all of a sudden it all stopped and he had a mark on his face. There was no blood, it looked like she slapped him maybe.
'I have a really, really hard time believing that he did anything like she was saying. I'm not trying to defend him and say he's a great person because he's a jacka**.
'I could see if you backed him into a corner hard enough he might bite back but I can't see him initiating something.'
Martonovich continued: 'She was volatile. But well hidden. She came off
