Simon Laurens, born on 28 November 1967 in Saint Brélade, Jersey, is a British para-equestrian who competed at the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing. He started riding at eight and competed in gymkhana and show jumping with his palomino Champagne before taking up dressage while working with Gemma Green for nine years at her yard in Jersey. He was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2004. In the team open at the 2008 Games, Laurens, with teammates Lee Pearson, Anne Dunham and Sophie Christiansen, won the gold medal, which meant Great Britain had won gold in that event at four consecutive Games.
