“Lauren Fisher is one of the best trainers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. She saw potential in my horse and myself when others did not and determined a path for us that pushed us to be best version of ourselves and transformed our partnership. Lauren really enjoys teaching and seeing partnerships develop and explains things in a relatable way. She invests so much in her students and tailors instruction to each individual so you know you have someone who really cares by your side when you train with her. She has taught me so much about the sport of dressage and training the correct way.”

“Although I am a hunter rider with a very young OTTB (with limited retraining), I am also a
believer in providing every horse with a solid foundation and understanding of the aids. These are the training techniques that bond rider to horse. I can’t praise or thank Lauren enough for the wonderful training experiences and expertise she shared with me and my horse. Every week was another challenge and every week we improved. She is truly an expert and a
seasoned professional and made each session interesting, challenging, and rewarding. So sad when she left Virginia. Hope she returns one day.” - Susan Mong
“Lauren is an incredibly talented instructor and trainer who
is willing to work with you and your horse to improve your
skills, both individually and as a team. She has the ability to see potential
in all horses, regardless of their age or breed. She will find what
works to bring out your full potential with both patience and
positive creative instruction. Prince and I highly recommend her!” - Marlene McGrath
“Working with Lauren was a pleasure. Lauren is very knowledgeable and has the ability to explain technical information in a simple and easy to understand manner. She is creative in her teaching and can find different ways the rider can relate and therefore learn. She has an enthusiastic, positive and humorous style that makes learning fun, safe and enjoyable.” -Joan Russo
“Lauren took into account my background of having inconsistent instruction without blinking. In each lesson she has always come prepared with a plan, and a backup plan for my quirky and emotional Harry. To say that my guy is a challenge from several perspectives could easily be described as an understatement, but it has never phased Lauren. More than once, she has pulled some creative and effective ways to teach the lesson of the day from her bag of teaching tricks. Lauren has so many positive attributes as a dressage instructor. Her professionalism, extensive understanding and background in dressage has been a consistent sense of comfort. In everything she does, understanding patience, kindness, and her love of the sport shines through. I travel to Dallas frequently and plan to visit often. I am so excited for Lauren to begin this new chapter with her own program in Texas. Dressage in Dallas is gaining a wonderful asset with Lauren returning to her roots.” -Michele Gross
“In only 6 months Lauren’s dedication, knowledge and love of dressage got us to cover a lot of ground. She always tries to find new ways to improve your seat and to keep your hands and legs quiet and in place. Just before she left, she suggested that Sven and I entered our 1st show. Showing is not the reason why I ride, but I trusted and followed her! As it turned out, that 1st experience was a success and got us hungry for more! Lauren is a real gem: she is knowledgeable and communicates very well with riders and horses alike. We will miss working with her.” -Christine

“Lauren was able to take my 11 year partnership with my TB mare from hot mess express to significantly improved and advancing in just a year! Not only did she help correct some bad habits, but she taught me the meaning of creating a truly forward horse, correct contact and connection, and helped address a significant saddle fit issue that was holding us back from advancing and my mare from using her body correctly. Lauren reminded me how much I love dressage and the process. Not only do I consider her a coach and mentor, but a great friend as well. She coaches with humor and pushes us to get the best out of each ride, each movement, making every lesson fun and productive. Lauren has inspired and encouraged me to continue on my path to my goal of 4th Level/PSG and obtaining my Bronze and Silver USDF medals as an adult amatuer. I cannot recommend her highly enough, and have sent numerous friends to her for lessons and clinics. If you are looking for an awesome instructor or trainer with a great sense of humor, an endless "toolbox" of knowledge and skills, a huge heart for her students, horses, and clients Lauren is it! Hands down!” -Nikki Norfleet
“Lauren trained my PRE gelding for a year. He was a tight ball of nerves when she started riding him. But with her tactful and skilled riding he relaxed and began to enjoy his work learning upper level dressage.
As a teacher Lauren is supportive and has a lot of tools to improve the horse and rider. She is an exceptionell horsewoman with high work ethics and a big heart” -Marja Lauren
“Lauren is a zesty blend of comical hilarity, profound knowledge, empathy and dedication to the transformation of horse and rider. I absolutely loved every second of every ride...we will miss her in Virginia” -Melissa Jamison
“I trained with Lauren for nearly four years with my 13-year old Oldenburg mare Dela. Lauren’s fun, creative and challenging approach to training brought us from just starting to work and show at Training Level to working and competing at First Level. While our plans to show this summer have been derailed for the moment due to the Pandemic, Lauren’s instruction provided us with a solid base upon which we can continue to progress this summer. Lauren also helped me work at home with my quirky OTTB. She is a wonderful teacher, and I will greatly miss her excellent guidance and terrific sense of humor! We worked hard and had a lot of fun!” -Barbara Burk
