Woman Shot at Barisone Farm

I’m pretty certain that the “reporter” that wrote the article on that KXAN site is not a human being at all but some sort of Google Translate type bot regurgitating “celebrity” news from other articles/sites in a variety of languages.

Why hasn’t Horse Authority, aka Rate My Horse Pro, been all over this? They usually post this kind of stuff on their website. Now that I take a quick look on their website and Facebook page, they have been pretty much silent since May.

Look again. She has 2nd level scores.

Of four scores on USDF, at this level, only two are above 60. And both are from the same judge. Need two different judges. [TABLE=“cellspacing: 0”]

She has two 60%+ scores at second, but they were given by the same judge, so only one score counts.

ETA: Oops, 2tempe beat me to it.

Regardless of whatever other drama she may have been involved in or caused, it seems really strange to lie so publicly about getting your Bronze medal, especially if it can be verified that easily. Is there any possibility there are other scores out there somewhere that aren’t showing up? Or did she just not realize that the scores needed to be from different judges, and think that she will be getting her bronze now that she has the Third level scores?

WHH huh… that’s close to home!

These are the scores from the USDF official site.

Has anyone bothered to look up LK on Venmo?? It looks like the “fiancee” is her paid help???

Some of the things y’all are digging up are not even a little bit relevant here.

There is a real KXAN, but this is their actual website: https://www.kxan.com/
I didn’t click on the link posted, but it’s probably bot generated clickbait trying to trick people into thinking it’s a real station site.

Rosanna Williams’ website congratulates LK on her purchases of Even Better, Frontline, and Rose. Rose is still in Germany, so that leaves us with 2 imported horses owned by Lauren at MB’s barn. Symphony is a 20 year old 3rd level horse. Is she at MB’s barn? She supposedly had five horses there. Who are the other 2 (or 3?) horses? I’m confused.

LK’s fb states that Rose landed in the states mid july. She moved Symphony to NJ in mid june. The tb gelding is still in NC. LK’s Instagram has a pic around xmas time with Jay-t’s passport. But USEF has MB listed as the owner.

Wouldn’t be the first time a horse was pit in the name of someone who didn’t put up the money.

And maybe she has some young horses too.

What sucks is the US has lost a proven GP dressage rider with Olympic experience.

Is is there any hope his business won’t tank? Even if someone took it over I doubt many are going to want to step in that barn. I wouldn’t.

Also, there was friction between LK and the girlfriend or ex-g/f of MB. I have to wonder how that played part. G/f’s departure from NC was strange. I wonder if MB promised them similar things with LK…

it seems that that some people that trying to gain fame by riding this case out. The video of the wife with her husband lawyer I thought was silly. S. “Wacko-witch” from DH has proven to be a vile human being. I’m certain MB would be horrified to know she is his most vocal supporter. She’s churched up her social media outlets recently and has turned off comments. So much for her not caring what others say. She’s a joke.

This made me LOL, that is the LAST thing that sucks about this situation…I hardly think the US has lost anything concerning the Olympics.

it actually went like this while discussing the story with openly gay friends who are also riders “…was reported that the weapon was a pink and black gun”
Cue their heads tilting sideways like a dog at a high pitched sound. And then discussion of how pink seems unlikely for a male dressage rider of any persuasion, an eventer maybe

In truth, I’m not especially wrapped up in who’s gun it was. Someone got shot and badly hurt. It’s an awful event

Did the police officer actually say “whipped out a gun” because I don’t know any who would say that. When you read the reports, the fiance heard a commotion and shots and then ran around a corner, so although he saw the aftermath and Barisone holding the gun, he didn’t see what lead up to the shooting.

Oops, I just looked at the scores, not that they were from the same judge. Mea culpa!
