Crossfire Farm

Crossfire Farm Crossfire Farm is a family owned private boarding, training, and sales facility in Damascus, MD.

We have a fun and active group of eventers competing and training in Area II. Lauren's passion for horses started at an early age when her mother enrolled her in her first riding lessons at just 5 years old. From her first blue ribbon on a school pony named Robin, to her first international competition on her beloved mare Ella... Lauren quickly realized that this passion of hers was one to last th

e ages. Her character and dedication make her not only a good competitor, but a knowledgeable and compassionate horseman. Lauren has a methodical and kind approach towards training horses and teaching students. She believes that in order to obtain the right answers, you must ask the right questions. And that starts with teaching the horse a clear means of communication and language. Lauren is patient, concise, and confident while working with her horses. And she values creating strong and trustworthy partnerships with each horse she has the opportunity to work with. Lauren is the primary contact for lesson, training, and sales inquiries. She also is the primary handler and caretaker of the barn and horses. Rider Qualifications & Experience:
