Lauren's love for horses began when she was just 3 years old, and horses have been at the heart of her life ever since. More than 25 years later, she still wakes up excited to learn something new every time she steps into the barn.

Lauren grew up riding primarily English and has been fortunate to compete in hunter/jumper and jumper shows throughout Virginia, Wisconsin, Texas, and New Mexico. While earning her bachelor’s degree, she had the opportunity to ride for Texas A&M University, an experience that strengthened both her riding skills and her appreciation for teamwork, dedication, and horsemanship.

Over the years, Lauren had the privilege of training horses from their first experiences under saddle to becoming confident, competitive show horses. She has also worked alongside Clinton Anderson clinicians to expand her knowledge of groundwork and horse psychology. Those experiences reinforced something she has always believed: great riding starts with trust, communication, and understanding the horse before anything else.

Teaching has become one of the most rewarding parts of her journey. Whether she's helping a child ride independently for the first time or guiding a more experienced rider toward their goals, Lauren strives to create a positive, encouraging environment where both horse and rider can grow together. Confidence, patience, and kindness are at the center of every lesson she teaches.

At home, she's lucky to have two incredible horses who continue to teach her lessons every day. They remind her that no matter how much experience we gain, there is always something new to learn. Lauren truly believes that knowledge is power, and that choosing to keep learning is one of the greatest strengths we can have.

For Lauren, horses aren’t just a sport—they’re a lifelong passion. Her goal is to continue growing as a horsewoman so she can help every horse and rider she works with become the very best version of themselves.
