Here is Lauren's story to success:
I came to my first ever SSA National Show in 2007 as a novice junior with my young horse. I marvelled at the beautifully elegant ladies in the adult open, and watched the Ride Off in awe. 10 years later (and a little older and wiser!) me and my brilliant boy have achieved more than I ever dreamt we would. To become Rider Of The Year is a dream come true, especially to do it on the horse who has been my partner from the beginning. Having watched many very talented riders win this title over the years, to be counted as one of them means more than I can say. Thank you to everyone for all your support and praise, it means the world.
Lauren Allin.
