Lauren has had many successes and wins. In 2009 she was National Junior Reserve Champion at Gladstone and also Team and Individual Silver Medalist at NAJYRC with her horse “Rho Dance.” In 2011, she received her USDF Silver Medal and in 2013, received her USDF Gold Medal. After taking a few years off to earn her bachelor’s degree in psychology and minor in communications, she purchased her Young Rider/Brentina Cup mount, “Rantaro”. “Rantaro” and Lauren placed third in the Brentina Cup division in 2013.

She has a string of horses, including her powerhouse 12-year-old Hanoverian mare Dakota (Dancier x Silvio I) “Coco,” 5-year-old PRE Fabriccio CDF (Carbonero XCVI x Diablotina SAN) and 11-year-old Lusitano Sport Horse gelding, “Amadeus De Massa.”

“Gallagher’s Water has been a complete game changer for my horses! All of my horses have suffered from a ‘drinking problem’ in a few situations. Gallagher’s Water has been immensely helpful during those hot Florida days, traveling in the trailer and at shows to make sure my horses are staying hydrated as the water can taste different to them.

They also love it as a treat!! Even my mare [Coco], who is super picky, absolutely loves it! I’m super excited to have Gallagher’s water available during our cold fronts we get as well, as the horses tend to not drink enough water during that time!”
