Michael Barisone, a former U.S. Olympian in dressage, was involved in a violent incident with his trainee, Lauren Kanarek, in August 2019, which culminated in Barisone shooting Kanarek. The confrontation arose from escalating tensions during their professional relationship at Hawthorne Hill farm in Long Valley, New Jersey. Barisone was charged with two counts of attempted murder but was acquitted by reason of insanity in April 2022, after a trial that highlighted his claims of harassment by Kanarek and her boyfriend. Following his acquittal, Barisone was transferred to a psychiatric hospital for treatment and has since been cleared for release. He is currently residing in Florida and engaged to Lara Osborne, who has been actively supporting him through a GoFundMe campaign that raised over $85,000. However, Barisone faces ongoing challenges, including being ruled permanently ineligible for U.S. Equestrian competitions due to allegations of misconduct. The Netflix documentary 'Untold: The Shooting at Hawthorne Hill', premiering on April 21, delves into the events surrounding the case and features interviews with both Barisone and Kanarek, offering a comprehensive look at their tumultuous relationship.
