LAUREN HAYES

Lauren is the eldest daughter of two-time Olympic and Canadian Team member Jay Hayes and his wife Shawn. It didn’t take long for Lauren to develop a love for horses – she was riding by the time she was 2 and entered the show ring at the tender age of 5. 

As a junior competitor Lauren tried to get as many “catch rides” as possible on the show circuit in order to improve her ability to ride many different types of horses. Lauren successfully made her way through the ranks, from Junior Talent Squad, National Talent Squad, and Young Riders on her mount, Emmanuelle.

While attending of Wilfrid Laurier University, Lauren, along with her feisty horse Avalanche, competed in 2000 Olympic Trials and was a member of the 2002 Nations Cup Team at the WEF International. Since then, Lauren has been awarded many top placings at international events, while coaching numerous young riders at both low and high levels.
