Client Testimonials
Laurie is an exceptional trainer whose dedication and horse-first approach truly shines through in every session with her. She has a strong focus on correctness and horsemanship, helping create not only better riders but better horsemen. I trained with Laurie for over 10 years with multiple horses and the lessons and skills she taught me still remain the foundation of my riding. She helped me train and develop my one horse from training level to third level while never losing sight of the core principles of dressage and even helping me earn my Bronze Medal! If you’re looking for a trainer who cares about you and your horses personal growth and success, look no further, Laurie is truly the best.

I’ve trained with Laurie since 2018. Laurie is a high-scoring FEI trainer who earned her Silver Medal on self-trained horses; she understands that each horse is a unique individual and requires a customized training approach. She can provide highly nuanced feedback on biomechanics that enhances our FEI movements. Her ability to address the specific needs of the individual horse and rider translates directly into the show ring. At our last show, she was able to calm my nerves, and her coaching helped us achieve a 66.8% at Prix St. Georges with Olympic Judge Mike Osinski.
Laurie prioritizes the horses' mental health as well. We enjoy quiet trail riding together to give a break to our FEI horses. Knowing her profound daily dedication to the horses' well-being, I know that my FEI gelding, Dovey, is in exceptional hands even when I am away, and it gives me much-needed peace of mind.
I highly recommend her program.
