"Lauren Santoro is a knowledgeable, gentle, compassionate and patient horse trainer.

In October, I adopted 2 young, recently gelded horses from a rescue organization. By February I was ready to send them back. They where pushy, nippy and had no ground manners or training.

In fairness to the horses, I decided to hire a trainer before sending them back. I found Lauren through a local Equine Veterinarian. She began working with my horses at my barn in March and I have to say my horses transformation has been more than I hoped for! The boys are completely different horses and I am no longer afraid of them! Rocky and Cooper now stand to get brushed, haltered, fly sprayed, have their hooves picked etc. They have learned way too many things to be listed in a short review.

The important thing to know, is that I can no longer imagine not having Rocky and Cooper in my back yard and I don’t know if that would have been possible if it weren’t for Lauren’s training and guidance."

If you are looking for a patient and encouraging riding instructor, Lauren is your girl! Her warm but focused demeanor has created a space for my reserved and cautious kid to challenge herself and build confidence. I recommend her services to anyone in the market!

“Lauren is knowledgeable, patient, kind and experienced. Anyone can hang a shingle and say they are a horse trainer. Lauren is the real deal. There is no pretense when it comes to her skills as a rider, trainer and barn/business owner. She encourages a drama free environment where the horse is her top priority. The horses get plenty of hay, bedding and all day turnout in large paddocks. Lauren has been competing her whole life and it shows in her training rides as well as lessons. If you're thinking of getting your child into riding, moving your horse, starting to ride again after time off or even learning to ride for the first time, I highly recommend Rose Meadow Stables” - Kara
