Laurie received her A Level rating in Pony Club and evented at what was then called Advanced.
She was fortunate to train with many of the greats of eventing in the 1970s and '80s, including
Jack Le Goff and Tad Coffin in Hamilton, MA, and Richard Meade and Rachel Bayliss in England.
Her approach to teaching is to help develop confident, balanced horses and riders.
She encourages riders to think about what they are doing, while also feeling it.
Too often, riders make a transition or jump a fence without allowing themselves
to experience what is
happening. She aims to have riders feel positive and supported,
as they challenge themselves to improve.
Groups of 2-3 similarly skilled riders per lesson grouping
1.5 hour: focus on confidence building on flat or over fences
Release forms must accompany or be on file
