De Noir

2000 De Niro x Matcho AA gelding

The former breeding stallion and successful sport horse, De Noir needs no introduction. De Noir came into Lauren's life in the fall of 2015. Together, Lauren and De Noir achieved many accomplishments, such as winning Young Rider's tests at CDIs in California, and representing the United States internationally in the summer of 2016 at the CDI-Y Compiègne and CDIO-Y Hagen in the Nation's Cup team. 

De Noir was retired from competition sport in 2017, but remains with Lauren.

Hønnerups Event

2005 Blue Hors Romanov x Classic mare

Bred by Stutteri Hønnerup in Denmark, Lauren and Event had many successes together at both FEI Young Riders level and in the small tour. In 2017, the pair won the silver medal at the FEI North American Young Rider Championships in the Kür. They also booked many successes at small tour level during the 2018 winter season in Wellington, Florida, winning the CDI 1* Intermediate 1 with over 70%, and earning scores up to 75% nationally at Prix St. Georges level.

 

West Side

2003 Florett As x Equador gelding

West Side and Lauren accomplished many victories at the CDI-U25 level, culminating in three gold medals at the CDIO Nations Cup with the American U25 team in Wellington, in 2019. Retired twice, West Side is such a fan of his work, that he is now enjoying his ‘retirement’ teaching other up and coming riders how to compete at the FEI levels. A true once-in-a-lifetime horse with a larger than life personality!

Alive and Kicking

2014 All at Once x Fürst Piccolo mare

Bred by the Schulte family in Unna, Germany

We discovered this incredible talent as a young two year old in Germany, during the summer of 2016. We started her during the summer of 2017, and she earned great success under Kim Noordijk in the Netherlands, competing in the VWF Dressuur talent scouting competition for three year olds in Delft, and then qualifying for the VSN Trofee, earning 8th place there with Kim.

In October of 2018, we sold her to Gunnarlunda Dressage in Sweden, who days later sold this fantastic mare on to Charlotte Dujardin. We look forward to seeing their successes in the future, and are excited to continue on ourselves with Audrey’s full sister, All or Nothing (“Amy”), who is two years her junior.
