Lauren Thorpe

Lauren began life with two passions: horses and writing. She began her equestrian career at an early age, taking hunter/jumper lessons, but transitioning to polo shortly after. When not riding, Lauren was constantly dabbling in a notebook; capturing stories or lyrics or poetry. While her writing matured so did her equestrian career. She quickly evolved from taking lessons, to teaching, training polo ponies and managing stables.

Lauren received her undergraduate degree from Virginia Intermont College, the leading Equine program in the United States. Throughout college and afterwards, she traveled internationally, playing in Central and South America, the United States and Europe. Currently, she resides in Virginia, the proud wife to a US Marine and step-mother to a beautiful little girl.
