Lauren Schock began riding at the age of eight. She started competing in the show hunter circuit, including local and young hunters at Devon. Lauren then quickly graduated to competing in jumpers and discovered her love of working with ‘green’ horses. She moved on to exercising hurdle and timber horses and had the opportunity of hunting with the Cheshire Hunt for a several seasons. Upon moving on to training flat horses, Lauren discovered her true passion was breaking and training horses for all disciplines, especially flat and hurdle horses. She also retrains thoroughbreds off of the track and turns them into show horses. Lauren also loves children, and is an ARIA certified riding instructor.
