New playground? Did I miss something?
Interesting they get the latest news here rather than from darling daughter. 
Maybe they are searching for supporting minions.

I assume so. But I am assuming it won’t matter that she has no job as long as JK can demonstrate enough “wealth” to be able to make the payments, and a good enough credit score to convince the bank that he is a reasonable risk for the loan. Also, LK may get regular disbursements from her trust fund (assuming she does have one of some sort). If so, that would be considered “income” for her.

I am just surprised that someone who claimed to have unlimited means had to take out a mortgage on their house.

I meant her current playground in FL where she reportedly has leased a separate barn on the property and is the sole boarder there (horses owned by others are in another barn).

So, are we all wearing our freshly laundered bathrobes and tiaras in anticipation of actually getting to see any of the hearing today? I am optimistic that it will be open to the public and am prepared to be crushed when it isn’t.

When did she go to Europe to look at, try and buy that import? Who went with her?
At her riding level and experience, demonstrated on 48 Hours, I wouldn’t think she should go alone.

She didn’t go to Europe. She relied on her broker to find and vet the horses suitable for her.

Wasn’t there a poster here briefly who helped her import the horse and get it through quaratine? Who had a nasty experience, and was disillusioned with her or something, details withheld for personal safety, but more than happy to say phlehhh?

So they actually hedged their bets on winning the trial and civil suit.

Yes. I believe they have posted in this thread, even.

Oh, that’s right.
But that’s quite a leap of faith.
On the other hand, it’s not like she’s looking for a future fei horse to bring up herself.
Has she shown that import much?
Doesn’t she mostly show the schoolmaster she got from MB, JT?

I don’t think Jay-T has been shown by LK.

Not that I could do it, but I do not think it is that weird of a way for people to import horses.

She did, mainly at third and fourth level. No where near the scores he was getting under previous riders.

Generally when I hear someone of LK’s riding level imports a horse my first question is “why”? There are so many absolutely outstanding horses in the US now thanks to aggressive US breeders producing amazing horses…case in point, Serenade MF is NC bred and is on fire! Another from this same breeding farm was exported to Europe and sold to a top competitor. Here’s an article about this amazing horse, written by his breeder, who happens to be the #1 Breeder in the US for several years, and is is a dear friend (shameless admission). https://yourdressage.org/2022/02/03/all-thanks-to-the-doctor/

Thanks! I don’t recall her showing him, and contrary to what some here believe, I do not research and retain info on this woman.

It’s a bit of a risk, but if you have a good broker (or even better, a trusted personal contact), you can come out with a fine horse without ever having to step on a plane. There are even people you can pay to ride the horse and give you an evaluation (“likes to drop his left shoulder, right change is sticky”, “really nice in the contact” etc) For a young horse, I definitely wouldn’t be flying over. For an FEI horse, yes, I’d want to fly over and sit on the horse, look at feet, etc.
You just have to realize that you are getting a very fine horse, but aren’t getting the best of the best - they keep those for themselves, and the ones you hear about on Eurodressage aren’t advertised to mere mortals like us.
