Hines Equestrian
Lauren Hines is the Rocky Six S hunter/jumper coach. She has a level-headed approach to her coaching that transfers over to the horse and student.
After completing her equine studies at Olds College, Lauren spent months overseas training under some of Europe's top trainers. After gaining experience in upper-level jumping, she returned to Canada and picked up coaching as a fully-certified trainer.
Lauren has an eye for seeing imbalances and miscommunications in the horse and rider. Her corrective approach is steady and factual, growing her student's confidence as well as their skill. When training horses, she has a stress-free approach that not many riders can match. The horses learn independence and how to stay calm in the face of work.
