Stormy Daniels is involved in a multimillion-dollar court battle and ensnared some of the top officials in the rarefied world of competitive English riding.

As she tangles with a former president, the adult-film actress also plays a starring role in a drama that has rocked the world of competitive English riding

But the woman who was paid $130,000 to bury her account of a couple of minutes of sex in a Lake Tahoe hotel room has simultaneously been involved in another legal drama unfolding far from cable news studios and big-city courthouses. Daniels, 45, declined to comment for this article through her attorney, Clark Brewster of Tulsa. Brewster also declined to answer a list of detailed questions from The Post.also known as Stephanie Clifford, was exercising protected rights to free speech on “a matter of public concern” when she criticized Doughty’s treatment of horses.

Since Daniels spoke out about Trump in 2018, Americans have been divided in their views of her. Many of the former president’s critics have elevated her to the role of savior and heroine, a woman unwilling to be silenced by a uniquely powerful man. But peace can be a rare commodity in America’s subculture of moneyed horse enthusiasts, a world of strong animals and stronger personalities where “barn politics” can be at least as vicious as anything inside the Beltway. And if her fight with Doughty shows anything, it is that Daniels’s involvement in equestrian circles has been far from quiet.According to Daniels, there has scarcely been a time when horses weren’t an important part of her life.

Their new home was on the eastern fringe of the Dallas suburbs, where new subdivisions give way to prairie and pastureland. Daniels took lessons at a barn about 20 minutes’ drive from her house.Like Daniels, Doughty came from the kind of modest background that is uncommon in the world of competitive riding. She was the daughter of a police officer, grew up outside Detroit and worked hard to make her way in a sport dominated by kids with deep-pocketed parents.

“It was my job to keep him safe and I failed him,” she wrote on Facebook the day the horse died. “I know most of you reading this have horses. If there is ANY chance of your barn flooding with the recent rains, don’t risk it … Please don’t make the same mistake. I’ll never forgive myself.”
