Testimonials

I reached out to Lauren for help with my mare who had developed fear and anxiety around trailer loading and travel. Lauren was not only empathetic and supportive, but also gave me practical, science-based strategies I hadn’t considered. She suggested thoughtful steps — including the use of medication to reduce stress during retraining — that made a real difference for both me and my horse. Her combination of compassion, equine behaviour expertise, and clear guidance gave me the confidence to move forward. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone needing professional support with horse behaviour and trailer training

Lauren's advice was clear, actionable, and easy to understand. Our conversation made me feel confident about safely taking the next steps towards helping my needle-phobic mare.

My horse had twelve owners in thirteen years by the time he got to me, and could shift from calm to explosive in an instant, leaving me unsure how to reach him. Working with Lauren has been transformative, not because he became a different horse, but because I learned to truly understand him. With her guidance, our communication is safer, clearer, and so much more connected. She's inspired me to keep learning about equine behaviour, and I'm deeply grateful for the trust and confidence she's helped us build.

Using Lauren's services allows me to use best practices when dealing with complex training cases. I often lean on Lauren to help me identify the root causes of behaviour concerns.

Lauren also helped me tremendously with my personal horse who came with a deep fear of humans and a dangerous bolting issue. Lauren gave me effective and ethical advice, which deepened my understanding of subtle equine fear behaviours and helped minimize dangerous behaviours. 

I’ve reached out to Lauren twice now for support with my horse Bartlett, who was showing signs of stress and anxiety within his herd. Lauren helped me understand what he was experiencing and guided me through creating a plan, alongside the farm owner, that ensured both Bartlett’s needs and the herd’s safety were met.

When it came time to introduce new horses, her calm, step-by-step approach gave me the clarity and confidence I needed to reduce conflict and set Bartlett up for success. I’ve seen such a positive difference in his well-being, and I know I’ll continue to reach out to Lauren for guidance—even just to confirm I’m on the right track. On top of it all, her website is so easy to navigate and makes booking simple, which I really appreciate.

I've consulted with Lauren on a number of difficult cases, with both client horses and some I've taken on myself. Her advice is thorough, detailed and clear, and considerate of both the horse and owner. Lauren is my go-to consultant when I hit a roadblock or want to double-check my thought process before proceeding with a challenging situation. 

Lauren was exactly the person I needed on my equine care team!  I wanted calm, caring solutions to the behaviours I was seeing in my rescue mare.  She worked with me to systematically address the variety of needs my mare had.  Now, almost 10 years later, people comment on the relationship I have with my mare Kat.  I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Lauren!

I first started working with Lauren a few years ago when we adopted a rescued horse who came with a lot of undisclosed baggage. She didn’t tie, she was highly explosive, she was afraid of everything, and one of our biggest challenges was simply getting her to leave her paddock without spiraling, even if grass was involved. With Lauren’s remote guidance, we broke everything down into small, safe steps to help her feel secure, build trust, and shape new behaviors over time. Eventually she was happily leaving her paddock, grazing in the field, spending time with the other horses, and standing tied with a breakaway in comfort. It was an incredible transformation, and we could never have reached that point without Lauren’s steady direction. Two years later, when our two longtime gelding companions had a sudden relationship rupture that escalated into physical attacks, I contacted Lauren again. She helped me understand the herd history and dynamics at play, and showed me exactly how to interrupt the pattern, reset the environment, and rebuild their bond. Today, as I write this, they’re back together sharing food in the paddock. I cannot recommend Lauren highly enough. She is kind, thorough, and incredibly respectful of both the horse and the human, always working within your comfort level while giving you clear, effective steps that lead to the best possible outcome for everyone involved.
