Lauren Sprieser and C. Cadeau have been awarded the newly created $15,000 Carol Lavell Developing Dressage Prize.

The prize was established in 2024 to help support a pipeline of international-level riders and horses competing at Small Tour or 7-year-old test.

Lauren of Marshall, Virginia and the nine-year-old Danish Warmblood gelding C. Cadeau owned by the Elvis Syndicate LLC, were Intermediaire I reserve national champions.

Lauren will train with Olympian Ali Brock in Florida, The Dressage Foundation announced.

“It is an unreal privilege to ride a horse like Cadeau, and I’m beyond thrilled to have won this prize,” Lauren said.”I worked for Carol as a young professional, and I know she’d be proud of what a soft, compassionate rider Cadeau is helping me become. I will put these funds to great use, continuing to work with Ali Brock toward international Grand Prix competition.”
