Laurel considers herself an 'eclectic' natural horsewoman. She has
studied John Lyons and Clinton Anderson as well as many other popular
trainers sporting the 'natural' tagline. She has attended training seminars
at the Parelli training center in Pagosa Springs, Colorado and is currently
working on her level 3 tasks.

Her real teachers have been the horses. Watching them and learning their
communication, figuring out their needs and individual personalities has
been the real challenge and her ultimate professors in determining her
success or failures.
