Horse Sense Leadership and Exceptional Horsemanship aren’t doing what a trainer or instructor says. It’s learning how to know what to do yourself. How to analyze what actually is happening and not only having the tools in your toolbox to remedy the situation, but knowing which tools to use and how to use them.

Lauren is fiercely committed to guiding those wondering what puzzle piece they’re missing to make their dream real. That vision that struggles to keep the confidence when scary things are happening, in business or with a beautiful but also very strong and large animal. We’re here for those who still harbor that dream and would love to discover how to bring it to be.

My path to become an exceptional horseman became clear to me at an early age. Then it grew into Horse Sense Leadership. I realize I’m obsessed and on a self-assigned lifelong mission to save obscure horsemanship concepts from the brink of oblivion and extinction, while at the same time recognizing their brilliance in the business world. I’ve spent 40 years obsessing over the details of my craft. Small, nearly imperceptible things make the difference between victory and defeat.

My path to become an exceptional horseman became clear to me at an early age. I was always the Indian riding my palomino Shetland pony bareback with a string tied around his lower jaw. I didn’t want to be the cowboy. I will tell you that I never did get to the point where I could hang on the side while shooting a bow and arrow under the neck of my pony while we were galloping – hmmmm…. Maybe I work on that a little more. But, to be that kind of horseman has always been my goal. Numerous and some very serious injuries have never even come close to diminishing my life’s work. When told I may never be able to use my left leg again… well then, just shoot me now, because that ain’t happening, I said.

What lights me up about this work, is knowing that it’s so do-able. You don’t need to be someone you’re not, just be willing to learn what really works. What sets me apart from other trainers and coaches is my commitment to the right mindset in order to properly approach the horse on her terms and the appropriate use of techniques and equipment always with the horse’s welfare in mind first. And surprisingly enough, this is what creates that dream horse that you want anyway. It’s that easy. You can feel confident engaging me to guide you and your horse to solve these problems or figure out how that applies to people in your life. Over the years my expertise has been finely honed through rigorous study and application with a high priority being humor and fun while instructing and learning. Two books on horsemanship are continuously selling on Amazon and there are more in the pipeline.
