Auburn’s passion for riding began early in her childhood riding her horse Pogo bareback in the hills of San Juan Capistrano, California. Always looking for a log, ditch, or creek to ride her horse across, her instincts led her naturally toward a career as a Three Day Event Rider.

In order to develop her success, Auburn's creation of a savvy business mindset was a primary goal of hers. She achieved this goal with intense focus and hard work. Auburn graduated from Chapman University with a major in Organizational Leadership and Business, while simultaneously building The Excell Equestrian Eventing Team.

Auburn has also earned ICP Level 3 Certification with the USEA. Over the years she has helped many riders build confidence, develop their skills, and achieve their personal competition goals. The roots of her success have stemmed from her belief that “If there is a will, there is a way”. She has created her dream career and built her life around this core approach.

Auburn has currently competes BSP Tuxedo through the 4* Level in Eventing and Prix St. George in Dressage. She is conducting her training business in San Juan Capistrano, California where she runs Excell Equestrian Riding Club at Sycamore Trails Stables. In addition to teaching students of all ages and skill levels, Auburn also produces her horses and operates a consignment sales barn at Sycamore Trails Stables. This lovely facility includes seven arenas, eight barns, wash racks, round pens, and much more, making it the ideal location for her business.

Auburn’s philosophy is to produce competition horses and riders that are well rounded and confident in the three phases of Eventing. She enjoys coaching riders of all ages and levels of experience, as well as working with all types of horses. Auburn strongly believes that a primary focus on flatwork fundamentals, balance, adjustability and quality of the gaits is key to achieving success at any level. She takes great pride in helping her students achieve their goals, and in seeing the horses she trains improve and mature into top competitors.
