DuoStar Dressage LLC offers professional dressage training and instruction by Lauren Henderson who has over 20 years experience (USDF Bronze and Silver medalist) from beginner level to competitive FEI levels. Accepting new students for lessons as well as horses for training and qualified horses for sales. Haul-ins for lessons welcome and also available for clinics and mini clinics for local barns.
Lauren focuses on correct basics and taking the time to set a strong foundation to develop horses in a kind and compassionate way up the levels. Each horse is respected as a unique individual and treated with the highest care. Always taking into account each horse's history, temperament, and physical strengths/weaknesses. As an instructor she enjoys working with all levels of riders to further their education, address fears/obstacles, and set goals in a positive and encouraging way. Her goal is to develop independent riders that understand the why of what they are doing. We are all continual students of dressage and Lauren is always working to further her own education. The biggest influence on her work is her long time mentor Henrik Johansen (www.positiveriding.com) and continues to host regular clinics with him. She also has spent time training in Germany at several barns there and extended training periods with Olympian Steffen Peters in San Diego. Other clinicians she has enjoyed working with are Jill Hassler, Bonnie Bonnello, Scott Hassler, Christine Traurig, and Jesse Sommerville.
