FEI RIDER AND TRAINER, PROFESSIONAL SMOOCHER OF MUZZLES, & WANNABE COMEDIAN

Lauren began what can only be described as a cringeworthy eventing career around the tender age of 5. After years of crying over fences, her decision to pursue dressage in hopes of keeping ‘four on the floor’ seemed like a logical one, even to a 12 year old.

Lauren began as a working student at a young age- cleaning stalls and picking weeds to snag extra riding lessons. This quickly snowballed into full time positions for various FEI trainers in Texas, Florida, and Virginia- offering not only valuable training instruction, but also unparalleled horsemanship. Lauren has been privileged to find guidance under: Conrad Schumacher, Carol and Mary Ann Grant, Lauren Sprieser, and Michael Barisone. After years as a working student, CDI groom, and Assistant Trainer; as well as collecting her USDF Bronze and Silver Medals- Lauren left the horse paradise of the East Coast and returned to her roots in East Texas/DFW.

With this return to Texas, Lauren has buckled down with continuing education and is enrolled with EquiLearn Institute and Academy of Animal Sports Science.

Lauren brings a unique approach to horse training: combining a sense of humor with classical dressage and biomechanics. With experience starting young horses under saddle, Lauren has the tools to turn any horse into a dressage horse; and as an advocate for humane training- can mostly do so without kicking and screaming.
