How significant are horses in your life? They're the most significant thing. I don't think I live without them in my life. Hi! Hey! Good boy! The 139th of year worth 5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5. Why does she want to ride with Michael? Everyone wants to ride with Michael. (music) He was a legend, was the most sought-after trainer in the world. Everybody wanted to train with Michael Barasone. He had competed in the Olympics as a rider. He had also trained riders who competed in the Olympics. (applause) He's a larger than a life character. He woke the wolf and he took the toe. (music) What did Lauren want from Michael? More than anything, his undivided attention. She felt like, as a paying customer, she should be treated a certain way. She wanted to be the star of the barn. I think she became extremely upset when Michael's full attention wasn't focused on her. (music) Mary Haskins was the one who, in her mind, was standing in her way of getting to her goals. (music) Two women both vying for Michael's attention as one of the best trainers in the world. Yeah, yeah. Michael Barasone, stuck between two women, his love interest and Lauren. His love interest and his financial lead that he needed. (music) How would you describe Lauren's treatment of Michael on social media? Horrible. (music) There were things coming out on social media that were horrific. So I think we live in this world now where your reputation or your career or your identity can be changed like that and can be devastating. (music)
