Lauren

Lauren is one of Lou's friends from New York.

When Lauren arrives at Heartland she enjoys eyeing up the men around the Ranch. Lou gets them going on tasks to help with "team-building", they start by cleaning out the barn then picking and mounting horses. At dinner, they gossip about all their old colleagues and what Lou's missed. Mackenzie accidentally let's slip that Lauren was promoted and now has Lou's old job. They go on the trail ride and Lauren and the other girls start to argue about each other and start putting each other down. After they all stop talking to each other, Lauren goes to talk to Tim and tells him that she's second guessing everything and tries to kiss him. Lou sees this and follows her back to her tent to ask her what she's doing. She breaks down and tells Lou that she shouldn't have got the promotion and her boyfriend has been cheating on her. Lou too breaks down and tells Lauren that Scott broke up with her after she proposed. When they arrive back at the Dude Ranch Lou goes to apologies for the weekend but instead they apologist and tell her how amazing the experience was and that they're going to tell everyone about it.
