~~~~~~~ SUMMARY ~~~~~~~
On December 11, 2020, Kylie posted a public fundraiser seeking donations to recoup veterinary expenses and obtain a replacement lesson horse. In the fundraiser, she claimed that two of her "best lesson horses" were intentionally poisoned. However, inconsistencies in Kylie’s claims and prior posts, combined with statements from witnesses, raise significant concerns about the true circumstances surrounding the deaths of Shorty and Precious and the legitimacy of the fundraisers.
~~~~~~~ TIMELINE ~~~~~~~
The following timeline is derived from Kylie’s own posts and statements:
• August 17, 2020: Kylie listed Shorty for sale.
• September 30, 2020: Shorty was taken to an emergency veterinary clinic.
• October 9, 2020: Shorty tested positive for both EPM and West Nile virus.
• December 9, 2020: Precious passed away.
• December 11, 2020: Kylie posted the first fundraiser, claiming poisoning as the cause of the horses’ deaths.
• December 14, 2020: A second fundraiser was posted.
• December 15, 2020: Kylie posted, “I cannot wait until the day I can see her again in her young and ache-less body,” which suggests that Precious passed away due to natural causes. She also states in this post that Precious had been used in a barrel camp shortly before her death, even though Kylie had claimed she was in pain.
~~~~~~~ CONCERNS ~~~~~~~
• The medical diagnoses of Shorty (EPM and West Nile virus) contradict the poisoning narrative.
• Public statements made by Kylie after Precious died suggest she passed away due to natural causes, which contradicts the poisoning narrative. There is no indication in those statements that poisoning was involved, and the poisoning claims came at a later time.
• Witnesses dispute the poisoning claims entirely.
• Concerns have been raised regarding animal welfare, specifically about Precious being used in a barrel camp despite her old age and pain, as stated by Kylie herself.
• To express her need for donations, Kylie claimed in her fundraiser that her lesson program was “suffering gravely” due to the death of Shorty, whom she described as one of her best horses. However, according to a post made by Kylie, she attempted to sell Shorty, which contradicts her claim that he was an essential asset to her program.
• In one fundraiser, Kylie states that the horses "may" have been poisoned, suggesting uncertainty. In the other funraiser, she claims they were poisoned as if it were a confirmed fact. To my knowledge, and to the knowledge of those I’ve spoken with, no evidence has been provided publicly or privately that support any of Kylie’s claims.
