"I am always looking for ways to further understand horse psychology and kinesthetics, for myself and my clients. Lauren was an obvious choice with her extensive training in Chris Irwin Horsemanship methods, her many bodywork qualifications, and years of riding experience. Lauren was professional and kind. We were guided through both in-hand an lunging work that engaged the horse's body and mind. We had riders and equines of all levels and abilities, and each one left the ring feeling encouraged We highly recommend Lauren and are already in the works of booking another!"

"As a client of Lauren’s for many years, I was extremely excited to host one of her clinics for our farm. With her extensive training under Chris Irwin and her knowledge of equine biomechanics, we knew having her work with our horses and riders would be valuable. I was looking forward to learning more ground work techniques while working with my horse, however Lauren taught us so much more. As someone who can sometimes lack boundaries with my horses (think snuggly geldings) it was incredibly rewarding to learn and see the difference between a horse working without boundaries of personal space to a horse working with much more respect and focus. I felt a complete shift during my session with Lauren, my horse and I learned how to use our bodies more to communicate with each other. Seeing my horse respond to such subtle movements and working in a relaxed and forward framework was truly such a rewarding experience. With the techniques I learned, I will be able to use with any horse and it has given me more tools which I am very grateful for. All of our horses and riders learned a great deal from Lauren and we look forward to booking more clinics with her in the future. "
