Who We Are

Lauren started riding at age 12 at a local stable in Hamilton, Ohio and quickly discovered that dressage was her calling. She began training with Rebecca Stromatt at 14 and during this time Lauren also worked for Sorum Fjord Farm, one of the largest Norwegian Fjord breeding farms in the country. After attending clinics with Grand Prix rider Silke Rembacz for three years, Lauren was invited to join Silke as assistant trainer; from there, she branched out to begin her own training and sales business in 2011. Today, Lauren is a United States Dressage Federation (USDF) Bronze, Silver and Gold Medalist who is making her mark in both dressage and eventing. She has competed through Grand Prix and has earned multiple USDF year-end and all-breeds awards at the national levels, while on the eventing front she and SNF Maarta were crowned National Champions at the 2007 American Eventing Championships over a field of 75 competitors. Lauren is currently riding and competing her own Oldenburg gelding Saracchi, KWPN gelding Millennium, and Alice Tarjan's Oldenburg Scylla in the FEI small tour; Melissa Dowling's Morgan gelding Avatar's Jazzman at both Grand Prix dressage and Training level eventing and her German Riding Pony gelding Nikolas at large tour dressage and also at Training level eventing; Carol Smith's Oldenburg mare Laurel as a Grand Prix hopeful; as well as several outstanding Norwegian Fjord horses for Full Moon Farm. Lauren's own Oldenburg mare Santa Barbara DASH and Chris Preston's Kyro will start at the Developing FEI levels. Lauren's two young future stars, Leeloo Dallas and Masterful Dream, will continue in the FEI Young Horse divisions this year. She also competes her own KWPN mare Atlanta B at the CCI2* level of eventing. She hopes to start several new young stars in the FEI young horse classes this year as well!

Kymberly Pullen is from Sugar Land, Texas where she began riding hunter/jumpers at the age of 11. In high school she taught beginner lessons at Southern Breeze Equestrian Center while competing her two OTTB’s in the hunters. She then attended Texas A&M where she obtained a degree in Business and Animal Science. She has always had lofty goals, so it was an obvious move to the east coast to get her foot in the door of the sporthorse industry. Shortly after moving to Chester County, PA (the most Olympic Equestrian dense county in the USA) she became Silva Martin’s assistant for four years, gaining invaluable knowledge on running a business and training horses. In 2014, she started her own business, Kymberly Rhea Dressage, which was focused on training young horses up the levels and helping adult amateurs reach their goals with their own horses. A few years later, Kymmy stumbled upon her passion for horse sales and realized this is where she wanted to direct her focus while also continuing to develop her self-made International Grand Prix horse, Hot Date, FEI horse Sir Eastwood, five-year-old Mojito, and four-year-old Nadal. After 11 years in Pennsylvania, Kymmy has moved to New Jersey to join the Lauren Chumley Dressage team to help with the sales empire expansion! 

Want to learn more about the sport of international dressage and what it takes to be part of a team at a large training and competition barn? Are you a young eventing rider who wants to improve your dressage skills so you can kick everyone's butt long before hitting the cross-country course? We speak your language and we want you. Laid-back environment with a really great group of people and horses. Must have a sense of humor, be willing to break a sweat and get dirty, like Fjords, and enjoy donuts. We do literally everything: starting young horses, riding FEI horses, sales horses, good horses, bad horses, lazy horses, fat horses, strangely-bred horses, and lots of cool ponies. This position would include riding with housing available and a chance to bring your own horse, as well as possible future opportunities to be stuck with us forever as a full-time staff member at Lauren Chumley Dressage. Upper level experience not required but a solid seat and an open mind are. P.S. - This is also a PAID position. You won't get rich here but we don't expect you to starve to death.
