Making An Impact One Ranch At A Time

Hi There! I'm So Happy You're Here.

For the past 12 years I've made it my goal to share my knowledge and passion of the guest ranch industry with others. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in outdoor recreation, I was blessed to be the Head Wrangler and Barn Manager at the Bar Lazy J Guest Ranch for 7 years. Shortly after my experience there I began traveling to teach the Dude Ranch Foundation Horse Safety Program. As a result of these two incredible experiences, I discovered a need for team development opportunities within guest ranches. This industry holds a very special place in my heart. 

I look forward to working with you!

"Lauren's services are something most ranches don't even know they need!  As a seasonal manager I highly recommend Lauren Pokay for any team. By allowing her to facilitate our team building, a safe space was created for wranglers and managers to say what they think would improve team communication, without the interference of having a manager lead team building discussions. She personally understands the struggles with multi-generational teams. Lauren helps to resolve and prevent further conflict in generalized and specific cases."
