Ivory Creek Farm

Natassia grew up wanting to do nothing but ride.  As a child, she rode with the California Rangers Drill Team and took Hunter/Jumper lessons with various trainers. 

​

As a teen, she began teaching at the Los Angeles Children's Riding Center as a Summer Camp Counselor and a beginner riding instructor. 

​

From there, she attended the University Of Findlay in Ohio, where she partciapted on the Varsity Hunt Seat Team and the Western Team while earning a double major.  

​

During the summers, Natassia interned at various equine training barns in CA, NY, and KY.

​

Upon gradutating with an Equine Businness Management and an Equine Science degree, she went to work for River Mountain Farm as the Assistant Trainer, where she learned the core of her business management and began her showing career.

​​

Before opening Ivory Creek Farm, she took an assistant trainer position under Susan Artes who greatly expanded her jumper ring knowledge.

​

Natassia believes that she has taken a small peices from each trainer she has worked under and the many horsemen she has met along the way to create Ivory Creek Farm. 

​

​

Lauren similarly grew up with a love for horses.  She began riding at Indian Ridge Farm here in Frankfort, where she purchased her first horse and began showing. 

​

Lauren began riding with Natassia through Indian Ridge Farm, attending many of the KY shows annually. 

​

As a student at the University of KY, she participates on the IHSA team, while earrning a Major in Animal Science and a minor in Business. 

​

She has a true natural feel of a horse, the dedication and determination that a true horseman requires, and a soft touch when it comes to teaching.  

​

Lauren has had much experience working with OTTBs, young and green horses, and is able to adjust her ride to all types of horses.  

​

We are very excited to see where this equestrian career takes Lauren!
