Whether you’re a seasoned equestrian or a complete beginner, we offer a welcoming and inclusive environment for riders of all levels.
Meet Lauren
Our head trainer Lauren grew up in the north of England and emigrated to California in May 2022. She has been riding since the age of 3 and began competing regularly in various disciplines from the age of 8. Both of her parents are accomplished trainers in their own right, so needless to say horses run in her blood. Lauren is well schooled in dressage, show jumping, and eventing as well as groundwork and has even been known to take to the trails!
In her own words, “I find that we can learn as much from our horses as we can from our coaches, if not more and I encourage my students to really develop their “feel” and understand not only how horses work by the book, but how to take their individual differences and use them develop problem solving skills that will stay with them in their journey as an equestrian. Seeing the moment a rider falls in love with being in the saddle is so rewarding and I do everything I can to help make that happen. My main focus is helping to establish confidence and trust between horse and rider both on the ground and in the saddle.”
She is a big fan of keeping riding and training FUN!
