President of Lauren Hill Equestrian, Inc. and General Manager of Seaborne Farm, Inc.
Lauren’s desire to ride horses began at a young age growing up on her family’s Connemara pony breeding farm, Seaborne Farm. As an active member of the United States Pony Club she earned her C-2 rating and attended Show Jumping, Dressage, Tetrathelon, and Combined Training Rallies. During her junior and amateur career she successfully competed at North Carolina Hunter Jumper “C” and United States Equestrian Federation “A” rated shows where she earned many year-end high point awards and won equitation final titles.  Lauren graduated from North Carolina State University in 2007 with degrees in Agribusiness Management and Livestock Management. During college she rode for the NCSU equestrian team earning Intercollegiate Horse Show Association Reserve High Point Open Level Equitation Rider in 2003-2004 and 2006-2007. In 2006-2007 she was an IHSA Open Level Equitation National Qualifier finishing as one of the top eighteen intercollegiate riders in the nation. Currently Lauren is an active member of the NCHJA, USEF, and USHJA and has been accepted into the USHJA trainer’s certification program.  She attends clinics both mounted and unmounted to continue her education in the equine industry.
Lauren’s philosophy as a trainer and a coach is to establish a trusting bond between herself, horse, and rider from which to build the basics of the American System of Forward Riding. In addition to establishing a solid foundation as a rider she is a positive role model and strives to teach her students to have good sportsmanship and what it means to be a good horseman or woman. Her students learn to understand horse behavior, properly care for their horse and use their equipment at home as well as at shows. Though she has a competitive focus, it is not all about the ribbons.
Lauren’s lessons focus on correct hunter seat equitation and rider effectiveness. Her classical methods allow for customized training plans to help each rider achieve their goals. Lauren has produced horse and rider pairs that are consistent winners of their respective levels at NCHJA “C” and USEF “A and AA” rated shows. She also has experience with assisting pregnant mares during foaling, starting the foals using natural horsemanship, and training horses and ponies that have competed very successfully in both hunters and combined training. Her versatility as a rider, knowledge of horses, and attention to detail makes her an invaluable tool for the horse and rider wishing to advance their skills or become more competitive in the show ring.
