With over 23 years of riding experience, with an emphasis on dressage
for 17 years, Laurie has been enamored with horses and riding from
a very young age. As a child, Laurie would spend an hour on the bus
in order to ride and take care of her horses. That desire and sense
of responsibility continues today, as she takes great pains to make
sure the horses under her training are well cared for and loved.
In addition to her passion for riding, Laurie holds degrees in Economics
and German from Hood College. Throughout her career, Laurie has worked
with some well-known dressage experts. She as trained for over 5 years
with Rachel Saavedra (2+ years as her assistant) and frequently attends
riding clinics with international experts such as Gerhard Politz,
Conrad Schumacher, and Alfred Knopfhart.
