The past few weeks have been exciting, yet busy for Lauren and her team, as they finished up their fall season in
England
and traveled back to their home base in the States. This is the first time since the spring that the entire team has been at one location, and while Lauren will definitely not miss flying back and forth across the globe every other weekend, she was sad to see her time in England come to an end for the year.
Once back in Virginia, Lauren made a quick return to competition at Surefire Horse Trials with Jacqueline Mars's Get Gaudi in the Open Training, and Brandye Randermann's Rainstown Covergirl competing in her first event! Both of these young horses were terrific, with Get Gaudi winning on a score of 22.5 and Rainstown Covergirl finishing her Beginner Novice division in the top five.
To close things out at Surefire, Lauren also rode Brandye Randermann's Fashion Forward in the Open Intermediate division, earning another top five result, while David O'Connor was kind enough to step back into the show ring on some of Lauren's mounts for the weekend! He picked up multiple top finishes, and Lauren was excited for the opportunity to watch her horses go! Thank you so much David!
Up next to close out 2017 for Lauren and her team will be Rocking Horse in a few weeks time. Lauren will have another full weekend, as she plans to compete seven horses herself and has asked David to compete a few as well! Lauren feels incredibly fortunate to have such a wonderful team of
horses
and such a special group of people behind her making it all possible!
