Woman Shot at Barisone Farm

@Isabeau Z Solace

Thanks for that. Situations can indeed get complicated.

There were multiple persons on both sides here and it is just about guaranteed that the participants on each were not in total agreement about how to move forward or when.

@Isabeau Z Solace

YES. Yes, yes yes. Finally. Someone who gets it. I refuse to respond to anymore rumors. So far, you have had the decency to think about how this could’ve become so crazy without placing Blame on me. It still boggles my mind that I was really shot. And, that there are actually ppl on here who are condoning MB’s attempted murders. I’m sorry but, I just do t understand how that’s ok. When I don’t like someone, I don’t shoot them. Anyway, thanks for not jumping to conclusions.

@eggbutt

Does this refresh your memory?

Perhaps you believe MB owed you for the botched job RG did on the house? Is that what it was?

Does it refresh yours? I hadn’t heard that rumor yet. When someone is doing a shitty job when I hire them, I fire them stat. Anyway - we’re done here. I’d LOVE to continue this, but my lawyers wouldn’t like it.

WHOA!!! NO ONE HAS CONDONED YOU BEING SHOT!!! NO ONE! All posters are doing is trying to comprehend WHY you chose to stay in such a supposedly dangerous situation!

Again, are you blameless in this? You’ve portrayed yourself to be an innocent victim of a madman and played no part in anything that happened. You’ve smeared MB and MH when they are not available to defend themselves, while selling yourself as a total victim.

I don’t buy it and I know that is not important to you and I don’t care. For anyone to portray this as so one sided is unreal!

Need is an interesting word to use.
No one needs those things, and if things are so horrible, you felt you were in danger such that you should have cameras all over the place (those would take time to install, after all suggesting they were in place well before the last few weeks when things supposedly fell apart) and you are so well off… well, you can board horses at 6 different locations if need be. It’s not like you waitress 3 shifts a day to pay for it, so find places for them to go and schlepp your butt to each place each day for your lessons if you’re still pursuing learning to ride.

That is a ridiculous answer that negates the claim you make about the danger you suggest MB posed.

Also in that area of NJ you can’t swing a cat without hitting an international caliber dressage program. I can think of at least one place off the top of my head that would have room for 5 or 6, international connections, trainer has scored 70+ at every level, and they winter in Florida and bring in Olympic level clinicians.

Certainly a more than suitable stopover place even if you dont want to stay there permanently for whatever reason.

That’s interesting. How did the house suddenly become condemned?

Agreed SW is a despicable human being and is clearly loving this drama. But you have to recognize that based on many of things you have posted on your fb page, people see you has having the same attention-craving, pot-stirring, name-calling mentality that she does. And that’s why some people are having trouble seeing you purely as an innocent victim here.

From numerous accounts, particularly the woman whose child died, it seems you and SW have a similar history of attacking, bullying and harassing people online. What’s that about?

And if Michael was as dangerous, threatening and as abusive as you claim, nobody understands why you didn’t pack up your horses and leave immediately. Friends offered to help you move them and you turned them down. You didn’t need to keep them all together initially, but could have moved them to safety in different locations until you found a suitable new trainer. But you chose to stay.

It’s clear he had not taken the necessary legal steps yet to evict you from the property, but it also seems quite clear that for whatever reason you were no longer welcome as a client or a tenant. Why would you stay somewhere where you weren’t welcome? Why would it take the legal system to make you leave? That’s is really tough for people to wrap their heads around.

Mans that’s exactly how mb and especially mh wanted it to be perceived.
I cant answer most of your questions on the STRONG advice of counsel.
I will answer something though. The woman who’s “child died,” had been harassing me for 2 years for (I can’t even believe I’m having to say this) DATING her bf when I was in HS. Did you not read the things she was saying about me? For the crime of having a bf in hs- who she is now dating. I’m 38. I think I’m over him 😂.

SW seem alike Bc we’re both sarcastic assholes. The difference is, I gave up showing all winter in welly to help some friends SW was BRUTALY bullying. I stopped her. She’s pissed. 🤷🏼”â™€ï¸ Point being, I don’t seek out people to bully. I don’t seek out anything besides horses and nice shows to attend. My social media page is just that. Unlike many, my ratio of friends IRL to friends on FB only is like 60/40. If people went by the amount comments made by my IRL friends- and their content- I’d never be called another bad name. But- that’s not the case here.
Only those I have ever had an altercation with- and even many I have never ever met or even heard of- have some crap to spew. MH is STILL campaigning against me as hard as she can while I literally can’t do a thing to defend myself. Not one thing.
Once I say this, you’ll think I’m being narcissistic. Not trying to be. But, if you’re halfway decent looking woman with the means to import new horses every year - and your career as rider has literally taken off from where it started in very short time- People hate you. Idky. I love my friends’ successes. I genuinely root for people. Some guy/girl on here claimed they were a scribe at 2016 NCDCTA championships & I won. The person claimed I wrote a “tasteless comment about the second place rider for which I later apologized.” Lies. I would NEVER EVER disparriage a fellow competitor. I mean, unless their were some history or something. But 2016 was my first yr of Dressage. I don’t post on fb for random people. I’m posting to my friends - people who get me. People who love me no matter what & vice versa. Can’t help if others it. But- I am NOTHING like SW. Except for having similar sarcasm. Just about totally different things.

I hope I answered all I could legally, to give you a better take. I’m not evil. I’m just not fan of bullies. And, unlike some others, I’m not afraid to tell people when they’re being shitty. If that makes me bad… 🤷🏼”â™€ï¸

@BigMama1

SW has apparently been given a formal charge notice and called to appear at a USEF hearing for violating the rules on bullying, harassment, publicly disparaging USEF officials etc. While there is zero doubt she is guilty of any of these violations - it’s pretty much the sole purpose of her page - she’s not a
USEF member so I don’t see how they have any standing on the matter.

They can ban her from USEF events, which is a good idea anyway but wouldn’t really make a difference to her. She doesn’t ride, train or compete. She’s already banned from the biggest shows. She pays people to take video and gather unflattering footage for her. She doesn’t need to physically be at an event to run her campaigns of bullying against the riders she dislikes. She is the very definition of an armchair warrior and would be irrelevant if people stopped paying attention to her.

This letter from the USEF has given her a reason to feel important and to bloviate about her rights and free speech and people trying to “silence” her. It’s every narcissistic attention-seeker’s dream come true.

Nice to hear USEF is taking action, but I agree that for someone who doesn’t compete, train, or even ride anymore, there is no teeth to it. However, perhaps she has kept up her USEF membership so she can more easily search show records and other information that she wants for her blog, and if her membership is taken away she won’t have as easy access to all of this. Indeed, the more I think about it, the more I think this would probably be the reason, so that USEF can rescind her membership and keep her from using memberhship-only resources for research.

And that’s not even who I was thinking of, but yep.
There are PLENTY.

(And no, not Cesar.)

Also it’s my understanding that Lauren Kanarek rides 3rd or 4th level and will not be making a bid for the Pan Am games anytime soon.

Perhaps one could practice counting to four with a non-Olympian for a month or two until a suitably illustrious replacement is found.

@staceyk

I want to take the personalities out the equation – if one was owed 50K, say for a short-term loan, one might want to “keep ties and lay eyes.” In other words, not move out.

/QUOTE]

If I loaned someone $50K for any amount of time, there would be notarized paperwork. MB had assets that could be seized if he reneged. The idea that the loan had not been repaid was not a reason to not leave when told to leave, repeatedly. I know LK says MB never told her to leave, but others disagree, along with a huge eviction sign that was posted outside the house.

It almost sounds like LK and RG were bad house guests who overstayed their welcome and decided to squat. I can’t imagine anyone choosing to live in that hostile environment.

I’m wondering if the $50K amount is what LK was claiming RG was owed for a bathroom renovation that sounds like it went bad. The bathroom was apparently a poor enough renovation to be condemned; MB is screaming “I won’t pay that” while she’s upping the amount owed by the minute. Totally making this up! Food for thought to add to all of the other triggers.

@eggbutt

The ideal time to leave, and the time she was getting offers of help, would have been before the shooting made her famous.

It’s also happened to me more than once that I had to get my horses out of a suddenly toxic situation, with alcoholic barn owners, or trainers who were stealing, or a barn owner was irrationally concerned that her boyfriend wanted to sleep with me. Each time I had people who were willing to help, drove their trailers to come get me, or just said, “Load em up, by the time you get here, stalls will be ready.” People can in fact behave completely bananas in the horse industry and be extremely shitty for no good reason - but if you’re really generally straight up and pleasant to deal with, as LK claims to be, you’ll always have a place to go.

I would say more notorious rather than famous!

I should probably warn them then! I’ll direct new trainer/s to my fb page asap. I’m SURE they’ve missed it. 🙄

And, that there are actually ppl on here who are condoning MB’s attempted murders.

Who said that??
