Meet Laura ⭐
If you’ve spent any time at Paso Robles Pastures, there’s a good chance you already know—and love—Laura.
She started riding at 13 and hasn’t stopped since. She grew up in Arcadia near Santa Anita with horses in the backyard, rode hunter/jumpers for years, and was already giving riding lessons to neighborhood kids while she was still in high school. Later she found her way back to Western riding and roping, and she’s continued taking lessons and attending clinics throughout her life because she truly believes there is always more to learn.
And then there’s the other big part of Laura’s life, teaching. ❤️ She’s been a teacher for 36 years and currently teaches fifth grade. She also spent many years with MACH 1 (Move a Child Higher), a therapeutic riding program in Pasadena, combining two things she loves most: horses and helping kids learn and grow.
This past summer, Laura was one of our main summer camp coaches, and now that she’s back in the classroom, we’re so happy she still finds time for riding lessons and trail rides at Paso Robles Pastures and joins our SLO Party Animals crew for birthday parties, weddings and other special events.
She’s a mom to three grown kids, a lifelong horsewoman, a wonderful teacher, and one of those special people both kids and adults just love being around.
We absolutely adore her, our students adore her, and we’re incredibly grateful she’s part of our ranch family. ❤️
Yep… she’s a star. ⭐
