[@horsemad544]

You seemed most comfortable on the grey mare. All lovely horses though. The third mare has a beautiful jump!

[@oranjebeer6637]

The gray mare looks so sweet and cute and friendly

[@niawebbon]

I think the grey mare was nice too

[@user-zb5br1wn3r]

absolutely loved the first grey! you make it look like you've been riding her for ages haha

[@MissJennyWreny]

I have to go against everyone and say the second mare.. she wasn’t easy but you adjusted to her quickly.. she looks like she has the heart of an absolute lion.. I think she’s going to be something very special!

[@IzabellaMiskaa]

I totally agree! Tbh I like her more than 3rd horse. Idk why people don't like her :

[@CD-im2ft]

Totally agree. For compétition you need a warrior.

[@poppymercer984]

Completely agree she looked lovely😍😍😍

[@mxadei6392]

I absolutely agree with you here, I am 15 looking for a horse myself. I like a challenge, and feel as though she would be perfect for a person with perseverance and determination. She is also absolutely gorgeous. Would get her if I could, unfortunately, I live in the US. She looks very....expensive as well. But, she is again, perfect.

[@lilyk7326]

That's the one I like. But I am always drawn to difficult and bold.

[@aletakibler4158]

If you don't buy that grey horse I will!! Just the way it stayed so soft and collected and not fighting you the whole time was absolutely gorgeous to watch! I don't think there's anything prettier than a soft and collected willing horse, and that right there is the definition of one.

[@Dgrayfanatique]

The 2nd mare looks like she'll need a bit of work, but no matter how disunited she was before the jump she didn't touched a pole, she seems super careful !

[@ashleyfieldxo7367]

Tinky Winky she has a lot of potential imo

[@Dgrayfanatique]

@@ashleyfieldxo7367 agree!

[@laragrove75]

Hey can I ask how you can tell if a canter is disunited, and what it means exactly? Have tried googling it but don’t understand haha. Does it feel very obvious when you’re riding?

[@nams7023]

The second one seems to have a lot of potential. It should be hard to work with but she just like to really feel at ease on the jump and she has really a great moove !

[@daniethorne]

Near the last part of the 7 year old mare she jumped so high and smooth I would have hesitated I’m being truthful

[@hannahbingham3884]

Ohh, I'm stuck between the first grey and the last bay😍

[@rachaeli5741]

Hannah Bingham same!!!

[@malisascherber6060]

Hannah Bingham I think the last horse was a dun

[@patricijasukyte8825]

same tho!

[@patricijasukyte8825]

@@malisascherber6060 why do you think that?

[@malisascherber6060]

shadow losty the second horse looked a little greener and by the looks of the other two horses I don’t think she is particularly looking for that

[@jessjohnson6561]

The two nine year olds were lovely, the grey seemed more adjustable

[@CheeseCakePhantom]

I like both 9 year olds! The gray mare especially, she seems super patient and willing to forgive when there's hiccups between you and her; she never seemed to get frazzled or worried when she flubbed a little over that jump. I don't know much about jumping, but I liked her 😂 they were all very nice though!

[@carrissorby538]

REALLY like the first grey mare, she is very willing and could probably go higher eventually!😍

[@Furturs]

the second mare reminds me so much of Therese Moser's Cara.

[@joaniethom8927]

Agreed! I also thought of Cara when I saw the second mare.

[@IzabellaMiskaa]

Same!

[@olgatontodonati1727]

Omg you're right 😯 she seemed familiar indeed...

[@elizabetheventing3827]

The second mare was not the quietest horse of all of them, but I could definitely see her potential with some consistent work 😍 she’s still young but she backed off the big fences nicely enough and has a quick jump to her as well as appearing to be balanced for the most part. I could definitely see her doing well in some bigger classes 🥰 But if you weren’t looking for a project i liked last one. Very lovely, adjustable, and athletic. Not sure why but I wasn’t feeling the gray mare 😂❤️ we all have preferences though and I’m excited to see who you choose!

[@maree6008]

I feel like the first bay, with Lauren's guidance, would be a phenomenal athlete and competitor!! The others were lovely as well, but I'd love to see what #2 could do with more schooling!!

[@MyWayofEverything]

iLoveDogs Abunch is torn on the second horse. I feel like it’s the most athletic but I can’t tell if it’s flaws are from training or of they’ve tried to train the flaws out and that’s all that’s left of them. Hard to tell from a video if she seemed teachable.

[@maree6008]

@@MyWayofEverything very true, she certainly has athletic potential but who knows what she is like to handle and work with. All that power is pretty useless if it cant be harnessed! 😅 If anyone can do it though...Lauren can!! 😉

[@knequestrian93]

Not feeling it with the second mare. The gray and the second bay should be ones to think about 😊

[@patricijasukyte8825]

exactly what I was thinking troughout the whole video!

[@fayemurray138]

Agree completely

[@annacox8795]

I loved the 3rd horse (9yo bay mare) her knees were so quick and she seemed really adjustable, keen and very knowledgeable of where her feet are ❤️❤️❤️

[@erinbankert4324]

Personally, I think the seven year old would be my choice. You already have Gabbana who is a longer strided type but she doesn't seem to have the speed making her good for the big classes, but not the speed classes. The seven year old I think would be excellent for speed classes and that way you would have one of both in your string.

[@sandrinefournier8195]

The first one seem to miss some fire, i actually can’t imagine her show jumping, but her form is lovely. The second one seems more green and hot headed, but he has personnality and a powerful jump. The third, I looove her flat work and has a ground covering canter! She is calm, but seems more energetic to me than the first one, she is V pretty. I love her the best

[@karisgreen1009]

I agree with you but I think the first grey mare was so honest and quiet and would do anything Lauren asked of her, I could see her in the showjumping ring, although she lacks spice she's a lovely mare who would get the job done quietly and with no fuss it seems😊

[@TheFatBlackCob]

I would choose the last mare hands down! The grey tended to hold herself btv and was tense in her movement whilst the second seemed quite green which is to be expected of a seven year old but the last mare was lovely!

[@everythingshiny]

Yeah the first thing I thought with the grey was that she was tense in the neck and not really moving through her body. She was also not as quick in her brain at the fences IMO. I loved the last mare too.

[@TheFatBlackCob]

@@everythingshiny it seems most people are choosing the grey for colour imo

[@aawingate]

I think im the odd one out, but I loved you on the seven year old. She obviously seems green but has great spirit and so careful over the fences! Would be a good challenge and something to bring along :) Gray looked easy but not very scopey. Second bay looked a bit slow on the ground for your level of jumpers

[@astridschreuders3674]

The second horse has so much potential!!🔥

[@andreahjrund8516]

I liked the second one's will to live. The other two were doing their job, the 7 y.o was having fun :)

[@kathrynschaller8875]

Just got to 2:20, and holy hell, that mare is HONEST.

[@jasmijn_odinkx5561]

Kathryn Schaller she just rode the distance wrong it’s really nice of the horse to jump anyway really shows good character

[@gabriellecoupland5835]

i would have shat myself 🤣 and thats why i do dressage 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@kathrynschaller8875]

@@jasmijn_odinkx5561 That's my point. The horse was super honest for not refusing and going over the jump. I've been following Lauren for close to 10 years now; I know a weird distance happens to even the best of riders! It wasn't an insult to Lauren's riding ability, just a compliment to the horse.

[@jasmijn_odinkx5561]

Kathryn Schaller ohh i didn’t saw it as an insult or anything! Just my ‘opinion’ about this horse because I really liked the first one she’s a super star! I hope she bought that one

[@fredwu4667]

3rd mare has a great jump and personality Also she’s a beauty!!!

[@godsgaychild6319]

I personally loved the 7 year old. Looked super keen and I gotta admit I'm a sucker for mares with a unique personality. Looks like a firecracker waiting to be released. Not as much training on the flat as the other but i feel like she has the most potential in the jumper ring. The other seem more like equitation or hunter horses to me at least. But it always depends on what your looking for.

[@rachelsharpe5948]

I absolutely LOVE that second mare. she seems to just levitate over the jumps for a second! And she's so quick on her feet, I love a more forward ride.

[@BluePeace2]

rachel sharpe she reminds me of my mare. She has a lot of blood. I’d be interested to see how she it on the ground.

[@malpal5530]

I love the second mare! She's got a fire in her belly and a great jump. Reminds me of Boo

[@lexilovesherhorse]

There is something really special about the second mare. You have so much experience training horses to balance and collect they you could get her going very well. The other horses have more training and they look like a more straight forward ride at the moment, but I feel like the second mare has a lot of potential.

[@lucydeveney9404]

I ended up really liking the 7 year old I thought she was very athletic albeit keen! But you seemed very comfortable on the grey mare who was equally athletic and steady!

[@historyhouse2977]

The 3rd mare was awesome! So queit on the flat, but she really came alive over the fences...

[@RockyCrazy100]

My favourite is the 9 year old bay. She had a bit of drive in her and was super careful. The first grey seemed to lack that drive

[@BalooBear-ee]

I think the second mare is severely underrated. She loves her job and has the speed and agility to win a fast round all while being careful. Definitely needs some schooling, but wow, she'll win you prize money without a doubt. The only thing that bugs me about all three of these horses is the lack of elasticity in the hind end over taller fences. I'd say they are roughly around the 1.10-1.30 max. Not sure what you're looking for, but if you're looking to advance beyond the 1.30 mark like Gabby, I'm not seeing it in this bunch. If I am wrong and just can't see it from the videos, than I would bet my money that you will progress further with the second mare in this grouping. But of course, that's just my two-cents ;)

[@EddiesGun91]

EgoListic thank you much appreciated 😊

[@Em-bt7ze]

That first grey 😍 so careful and forgiving!

[@ceciliamcalear]

I love the the third bay mare. She had such beautiful, elastic movement and excellent expression over the fences. She seemed the most comfortable with her job as well.

[@chelseabartlett5520]

I love the first grey, she took such good care of you, and was athletic, rhythmic, and had a beautiful bascule

[@yanaelizaveta6167]

The first mare didn’t seem like much, and like she hadn’t much to offer. But she was very laid back. The second mare is who I love the most, however rambunctious she was. She had a lot of character, and I feel had the most potential. But in the end, I feel like you had the most “connection” with the third horse. She jumped beautifully, and and did really well I think. But then again, I was not on any of them 😂. They were all good contenders!

[@emma_elizabeth1792]

i like the grey mare or the last bay

[@zaraf4915]

The grey mare actually reminds me of a unicorn, it just floats over those jumps effortlessly!!

[@ttylbyeee]

That last mare just woowww she looks so nice and she's so pretty!! Her canter seems so comfortable and I truly think shes interesting by the way she jumps. She gets all the points for me!

[@Brittany1671]

The last bay mare has such a lovely expression!

[@KMartha22]

The 7 year old is brilliant. Super careful and can turn on a penny. And fast too.

[@jinxapologist]

I liked her too. She looks so elegant in her canter and seems to have a lot of potential!

[@QhJumper12]

Loved the gray and liked the lighter bay. That second horse seemed a little impatient and zoomed around.The gray was my favorite! She seemed so effortless and floaty. Even when she stumbled a little over that one jump she picked right back up and didn’t panic or get mad. The last one had a beautiful trot, but she seemed a little less forgiving. All gorgeous horses.

[@mackenzie.bircher]

Absolutely loved the grey mare! You two seemed to connect quite well! 😍

[@julielycke-ludvigsen9712]

the brown mare (7 y/o) was my favourite😍 not many agree with me as what I have seen in the comments, but🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Sophie-xs6cw]

I think that you looked most comfortable on the first gray. It seems like she would be able to go fast, but the owner kept on telling you to slow her down. I’d ride her a second time and see how well you could ride her as a “jumper”. I wasn’t much of a fan of the second horse, but the last bay was also nice. I do think that you and that gray did look like you suited each other best, though😊

[@celinarobinette5202]

First one looks like she’s got amazing power behind her for bigger classes as she’s nice and compact (gives me ISH vies and I love that). First bay looks thoroughbredy but I feel like because she’s slightly more green looking you could work her into a horse you really fit with, and no doubt she’s a change from big cruising gabanna so it would add more variety to your jumping team. The second bay looks like your type to ride, although a strange beat to the canter, I think she is the knee jerk response. Three amazing choices though, respect your decision 100%, they could all be totally different to ride than what they look

[@bezoticallyyours83]

I thought that about the 3rd's movement too. Though it could have just been an off day for that horse. Nice propulsion but something just seems off.

[@Janerane]

The third and last horse, the 9yr old bay was gorgeous and seemed to really enjoy what she was doing! Definitely 1 or 3!

[@naevrys]

The last horse is definitely my favorite! She looks like she'd be fun to ride.

[@dione.c.3432]

The grey was asleep at the wheel. Sluggish. No attack. 1st bay ob. loves jumping lots of attack but lacks schooling. 2nd bay best schooled most adjustable. Odd after seeing you ride Gab they all seem too short.

[@MyWayofEverything]

Dione. C. Right? She looked like a giant on the 2nd horse haha

[@Araley]

Gotta be 1 or 3. They’re both awesome. Honestly they’re all awesome, I just love the way the first and last go. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@jellybean50]

Amazing riding!!! I don’t know if it was just me, but you and that grey really clicked! She’s gorgeous, very patient, honest and has a good eye on her. You and her were made to ride together! The second horse I’d say still needs a lot of work - but she looks like she has a lot of potential! Again, a very gorgeous horse. I also think the third mare is amazing! She has a gorgeous jump and a good eye. You look incredible on every one of those gorgeous mares, but I have to say, that grey suited you! She’s very willing, forgiving and you and her both adjusted so well to each other. Even when you had a little blip over one of the jumps, she was honest and resilient and gave it another shot. She wasn’t really spooked at all!! I think with a lot of love and training, you two could jump higher and be the best fit out of them all! Whatever you choose, they’re all gorgeous horses and they’d be lucky to have you as a rider!

[@missviolence101]

I'm partial to the 9yo grey, personally. I like her build and movement despite that one bad take-off. The 7yo bay was a bit more spicy, for sure, but you may prefer that. I'm sure you could handle (and improve) any of them though!

[@amyelizaabethf]

Love the grey mare! She seems quite relaxed and a smooth ride! :D

[@Ds-bo2fn]

love that third mare- her rhythm and style over the fences reminded me ever so slightly of Urano, but with more athleticism and more vigor. You’ll make the right decision, regardless of what everyone is saying! you know what you’re looking for in the end and that is all you need 😊

[@equitationpaige9466]

You looked lovely on all the horses but the grey was my favorite and you looked most “at home” on her! She looked well schooled on the flat and over all just a really honest horse! I really love at 2:20 she was so good and helped you get out a lot! A really good mare!

[@xdieromantic7x]

Loved that first grey mare. Are you gonna trick us again and not put the horse you choose in these “trying horses” videos? 😂😂

[@EddiesGun91]

Tessa Rose hahaha haven’t decided yet haha

[@shannonwilson6299]

The first bay mare she's on fire🔥I like that one😍

[@sungsungie]

So in love with the last horse, exactly the kind of personality i usually look for

[@millienicole9261]

That first one😍

[@maryellenbarak3946]

I’m don’t have anything original to add, I like the grey a lot, but the second bay is quite lovely as well, I particularly liked her on the flat. No doubt you will pick the one you felt the most connection.

[@ekmequestrian8527]

The 9 year old bay is stunning! And you looked like you really got on together. The grey is also very nice but I see you making an awesome show jumper out of the 3rd 😍

[@a.jaydeb.7441]

There are bits I like about each of them! I loved how the first mare was so relaxed and confident in everything, I loved the second mare's jump due to how energetic and scopey it was, and on the last mare I loved how balanced and comfortable she looked on the flat! All three are really lovely horses!

[@courtneylynn4066]

I really liked the grey mare

[@marwanalmehairi2395]

The second bay has a lovely jump on her 😍😍 good luck Lauren !!!!

[@SweetLady1980]

Your riding is very calm and gentle! Love it!

[@carlyhoney4912]

LOVE the grey and the bay with the small star. Such gorgeous animals!

[@LittleMissPaperHeart]

i feel like your riding style fits the two bays the best. The last one reminds me a bit of Urano in his movement, but I think that the second horse has the most promise to progress, seems like a very athletic jumper. The seven year old could be so so nice with a little work.

[@megs9471]

absolutely in love with the last mare, but i really like you on the grey mare as well!

[@lydiabrown3322]

The grey nine year old was stunning! Looked like you could get any distance on her and still go around wonderfully.

[@Harrysmababyhorse]

The last bay was beautiful 😍😍 I did love the second horse too 😍

[@leannehotter5716]

Very much like the grey one

[@chance2080]

Every time the first horse went over those jumps she just snapped her legs up perfect! She would be the horse to think about!!! 😍😍

[@WJW-ng7vg]

I love the first grey!!!! There’s something about her that makes me feel like you two could create an amazing bond xx

[@shaeross1295]

The last bay was so floaty at the flat and her jump was so beautiful! The gray was so patient and looked so adjustable. I’d be torn if I had to make that decision

[@kathrynschaller8875]

I adore the grey mare's style and stride. You two seemed to get along well, too.

[@MyWayofEverything]

I liked the grey a lot, the bay a little and LOVE the light bay. Seems that she would do well for dressage too if you were wanting to event again.

[@jadenbynum8514]

The first mare is lovely, the two of you looked so synchronized, you and the second mare didn’t seem in sync as a pair, but she looks very athletic and forward which is great, and the 3rd mare has such nice coloring and she brings a certain presence about her, she seems level-headed and honest.

[@kellypowell955]

Absolutely love the last horse. Gorgeous on the flat and over fences, as well as extremely powerful!

[@jmhequestrian]

I liked the 9 year old bay mare. She seemed tactful and had good knees.

[@willowweed3696]

I definitely likes the overall feel of the last bay.

[@showjumperz86]

You seemed to get along well with the grey mare, you were able to lengthen and shorten her stride when needed. Really like the first one😍

[@lifebehindtwoears9934]

The grey was an angel. She seemed so careful- even over the jump where there was slight confusion between yourself and the mare. She also seems really forgiving and had a lovely rhythm. You looked great with her and if you do choose her, you will certainly make a great team with her! Your eq is amazing by the way! ❤️❤️❤️

[@vappuluoma2918]

Very pretty stables, and love the chirping of the birds

[@BeechfieldAlly100]

The 1st bay mare reminds me so much of Therese’s Cara

[@stephanglim7192]

Something I didn't love about the second mare (the bay) was how when she got disunited and cross cantered she didn't really quickly herself try to rebalance and fix her legs, I don't think her disuniting is the biggest problem because with training that should improve but personally I like a horse that thinks on their feet (quick on their feet) and sorts themself out (with the minor things). I don't need the horse to do all of my work for me, not at all, but I like riding horses that try to have themselves sorted.

[@AmyRhianosaurus]

The 9yo bay mare at the end was amazing and definitely my favourite! She looks like your type of horse. The first bay mare was lovely too though the trickiest looking ride. I think she'd make a really good eventer once she's got better balance and a bit calmer. You couldn't fault the grey mare, so calm and obedient, but there just wasn't much spark there ☹ She'd make an amazing horse for an amateur looking for a straightforward ride though!

[@devil220099]

Love the grey and the last bay 😍

[@michelebuckles7865]

I love the 2nd one (young bay) because it’s a type of horse we don’t see you on often and with her potential and your amazing horsemanship I think she’d be super competitive, the last horse was totally you though lol ❤️ how are all these horses confirmations?

[@EddiesGun91]

Michele Buckles all these horses you will see me ride will have good hoof and leg conformation 😊 thank you

[@biaamorim6496]

Last one it's such a nice mare with a nice head. Need some work but it my favourite at all. With nice gallop and with right weight to fly at the jump and fences.

[@madimae3787]

So excited for you! Horse shopping is super fun

[@saraharrison1349]

Gorgeous gorgeous horses 💜 I liked the second nine year old. The first one kind of lost me when she took that weird stumble distance when there was obviously one more stride left. It makes me strangely more confident that even though you're an amazing rider that you still have a trainer. No one is a perfect rider and I wish people at the University I go to would realize this. Beautiful riding and I hope you find a new horse to thrive with!

[@catbarr924]

Sara Harrison every horse makes mistakes - you can’t expect them to make every stride. She recovered excellently and didn’t have a tizzy or buck or anything. If she’d done any of those I’d agree with you, but as she remained calm and kept going I just think it was a miscommunication.

[@afloweredsuit9545]

The grey mare looked wonderful 😍 definitely suited you the best in my opinion.

[@katiboyd1135]

The first mare is so cam and collected you look like you’ve been riding her for years and you really suit her xx

[@hcrouchman]

The third one is my favourite!! Such lovely paces and jump, you look so comfortable on her too. Real potential for another great partnership there 😍

[@juliaharu4153]

absolutely loooved the grey mare😻 and the last bay too, both jumped to nicely

[@Caprioled]

They were all lovely but I vote for the 2nd mare! She had the most spark and seemed like the most fun! I put the 3rd mare in 2nd.

[@thehuntersclub-sso4243]

You are such a beautiful rider! You looking so comfortable on all the horses, just jumping them like nothing! Well I really like the great mare in the beginning. 👍🏼

[@mayalara6125]

I LOVE the gray. you seemed like it was already your horse and the 3rd horse had it's lead changes beautifully. It also had a lovely jump. Te last horse kind of looks like my horse but he can't do his lead changes!!😂
