Woman Shot at Barisone Farm

She is known for threatening legal action at the slightest thing and getting her father involved. He has even flown to NC on occasion to confront people on her behalf, unsuccessfully I will add, but often the threat works to make people give in to her. Simple bully tactics.

So you all are scared of her? That’s understandable. But posting here? Clearly she lets her crazy out. You condemn CoTH for not being supportive but in these types of situations where we (the collective we) have proof
 we are there. However, when posters condemn CoTH and only jump in to the latest drama? What are we to think? Not one of you close to the situation put that out. Y’all acted like you didn’t have skin in the game. So yes people doubt. Especially when posters have reveled there names when accusing BNTs of rape/sexual assault

Sadly, I do not think this is the case. As is often happens with people like this in my experience, is that it actually emboldens them to continue or even increase their bad behaviors. Kind of like the “been to jail and it wasn’t so bad, so I ain’t afraid to go back”.

You have brought up an excellent point and frankly, I never thought about coming to the forums to report info about her. Facebook seemed to be the favorite sm to attempt to spread the word and point out her behavior. The good news is people who do frequent this forum will at least have had the opportunity to research before becoming involved with her in the horse world going forward.

The words and actions of the victim make the other stories, all of them, believable.
That doesn’t mean they’re true or accurate.
But believable as possible? :lol:. Yes. Definitely.

I’m not trying to be an ass but all the vitriol coming out about this person makes me question a lot. I have no dog in the fight and I appreciate the heads up if I come across her. However, you need to understand the skepticism. For a lot of us, this is the first we are hearing of her despite our involvement in the Dressage world and where we live.

There has been more than one person on COTH that has basically warned people about LK. Her run-ins with other barn owners and certain people was talked about within their local community. Now that LK had set her sights on destroying MB (her own words) a BNT, it has been brought out of the shadows.
If you do not want to believe the things being said, or are skeptical, by all means invite her into your life, you will find out that she is a dangerous individual.

Totally understandable. Perhaps there was too much of a “good riddance” emotion when she would finally move on to another target and most people chose to try and ignore her, just as school children are taught to ignore bullies.

Something apparently caused her to escalate her behavior with MB/MH. Perhaps it was the fact she lived with them and the 24/7 constant in your face proximity blew everything up. As disgusting as her behavior was in NC, she went to the extreme in NJ.

The whole situation is unfortunate. I hope that you and others who have had runs in with her find peace with the fact that I and many others believe you. I just can’t go to the point where she deserved to get shot. And that’s how your words read to us with no connection. I am heart broke. For MB and MH were it got to the point that shooting her seemed to be the only course of action.

Yet again, no one is saying that LK deserved to be shot, just that it is not a surprise that it finally happened.

Seriously?!? Real life does not happen on a computer screen, maybe you need to experience that a bit.

Again, I don’t believe MB went with the intent of shooting anyone and, as I stated a few pages back, I believe he acted in self defense. That said, I can’t imagine a good outcome for people who behave and escalate as LK has. I can’t believe she doesn’t know she has issues because she jokes about her anger and portrays being proud of her meanness.

I am a firm believer in karma and we reap what we sow.

So you’re saying LK deserved to be morphed into octupus?

(So long as we are twisting people’s words :wink: )

But you want the greater public to believe what is said behind screen names. I’m not doubting the local opinion. If you read for comprehension you would have know I was speaking about the country/world at large. Some of us don’t associate with those types.

I totally get that. But the skeptic in me says if he did bring the gun
