A veteran of three NAYRCs and four "Brentina Cup" national Young Adult Grand Prix Championships, Lauren has consistently produced horses from green to FEI, including five to Grand Prix.

In 2016, Lauren is competing with Ellegria, her 15-year-old Westfalen mare, at CDI Grand Prix. "Ella" is one of several horses Lauren has brought from green to FEI. Also in her stable is the 8-year-old Dutch gelding Danny Ocean, gearing up to show Prix St. Georges; the 7-year-old Oldenburg gelding Johnny Road, schooling Third Level; and the 4-year-old Dutch gelding Hurricane, co-owned with Beverley Thomas and just beginning his dressage career.

"My Piaffe Evo boots are my secret weapon. Ella is a big mover and a bit of a klutz, so protecting her legs from inadvertent injury is crucial. I love that the Piaffe Evo boots are both sturdy and breathable, even in sweaty Florida weather. And they're so easy to remove, so I'm not wasting valuable time in the warmup undressing my horse before we hit the ring. Ella loves them!"
