"A horse is a mirror image of its owner"

"I have had the opportunity to spend time learning with and from Lauriel. Lauriel has an exceptional way of explaining her thoughts so that her students, human or equine, can understand and learn. This quality makes her a great teacher. Lauriel also has seemingly unlimited patience and understanding. These qualities make her a great trainer."

“We own three horses of differening skill levels, and 3 riders, husband, wife and teenage daughter, with varying levels of skill and knowledge. We have found Lauriel's ability to communicate with us and our horses to be exceptional. Lauriel has taught us to how to improve the performance of our horses, and consequently, our confidence in and enjoyment of them has been greatly enhanced.

"Lauriel is very good at what she does. She's professional and just one heck of a lot of fun to work with. We would strongly recommend her to everyone looking to improve the performance of, and their relationship with, their horse.”

"Working with Lauriel enables the student to develop a better awareness of themselves, their horse, and horsemanship in general. While working on a specific issue, the student will find they've improved in other areas due to the fact that the entire learning environment reflects superb horsemanship."

"Lauriel excels at teaching what you want to learn, and what you should learn as well. This is done through working in a well developed environment of quality horsemanship rather than focusing on one particular aspect while ignoring others."

“I participated in a 3-day clinic last spring and recently audited another clinic. I have observed Lauriel working with a variety of human and horse personalities. She has never been anything but kind, patient, and understanding in any situation. She really knows what she is doing and how to communicate with her students of all levels.”

Lauriel is one of the most talented trainers I've had the pleasure to work with. She is very kind and has a way of explaining an idea that is clear, consistant and constructive.
