My horse Layla used to be sedated with paste when clipped in previous years,

but her response to clipping got more dangerous each year to the point where she would strike out with her front feet while sedated.

I had not been able to clip Layla in over 3 years until I got Susan’s help. Susan has been amazing working with Layla over a few months to desensitise her to clipping. Layla is now at a stage where she is accepting of being clipped, her fear response is gone and can be fully clipped all over with no sedation required!

Working with Susan has been absolutely transformational.

From the start, she naturally cultivates a safe space for you to be yourself and show up as you are.

She is incredibly present and is fully in the experience with you, yet she holds this objectivity and clarity that keeps you from getting swept away in your thoughts and emotions. She asks very deliberate questions that cause you to pause and look inwards, and then she eloquently reflects your insides back to you. She’s genuinely curious in uncovering the real you and all the parts that show their faces along the way with no judgment or urgency. She’s clearly explored her own depths, so she can effortlessly meet you in yours and guide you through.

I’ve uncovered some incredible and unexpected realizations during our sessions that have started to change who I am and how I interact with the world around me. I feel very lucky to have found her and am always looking forward to our next session.

Life Coaching

My daughter and I have been having riding lessons with Susan for the last 8 years.

She has a very flexible approach and tailors each lesson to the individual needs.

She immediately notices if you are tired or stressed and adapts the lesson.

She has a great sense of humour and will always find the positive even if you fall off! I really love Susan’s flexibility, we’ve done vaulting, games, jumping, poles, dressage to music…… she will also plan in advance and give you a jump or pole course to set up. 



Susan has a huge amount of knowledge and loves reading and listening to pod casts, she will often tell you about an interesting study she has read and keeps herself up to date on the latest research in the equine world. So as well as learning to ride you also learn about horse behaviour and gain a much better understanding of your horse. 



Susan runs a very popular holiday program at our pony club. She asks the kids what they want to do and plans a fun program for them. She always has new ideas so it’s never same-same or boring.



Susan provided huge support when we bought our first pony, the ground work lessons and clicker training were invaluable for building a trusting relationship with our horse and a solid foundation for riding. 



When I had a nasty fall Susan helped me regain my confidence, she was very mindful of my comfort levels and gradually rebuilt my confidence using techniques she has learnt in her mental coaching.



Susan goes the extra mile for her clients. She has come with me to look at a potential new horse, accompanied me on treks, helped with floating and much much more, if she can help then she will.

I have been having horse coaching with Susan for over six years and I recently started bi-weekly mindset coaching sessions.

It is a really great way to take my negative thoughts and turn them around in to a more positive way of looking at my current issues.

Sometimes I’m not sure what I want to talk about and then Susan unearths some deeper emotion that I wasn’t even aware I had been holding on to.

She has a wonderful way of reflecting back what you’ve said in a way that makes a lot of sense. I always feel a little more settled and confident after my coaching sessions with Susan. I’ve been able to talk through a number of personal issues from job satisfaction, to personal insecurities and horse ownership dilemmas.

I am excited with the new horse show season coming up to have the added arsenal of my mental coaching sessions to help me achieve my horse training and competing goals.

Feeling a little lost on your path?

Susan’s coaching shines the light in the direction that is right for you.

This isn’t therapy, it’s a guided tour inside yourself to find the answers that are waiting for you. You know them to be true, because they come from you. She helped me in a way that I didn’t even know was possible. I feel energized to move forward with my business with a deeper understanding and sense of myself. It truly is transformational.

Confidence coaching

Exceptional teaching.

My daughters is progressing so much each week.

Susan has a focus on getting the fundamentals right. I love how she includes me as the parent so that I can also learn with her. I feel empowered with knowledge. I highly recommend lessons with Susan.

Susan has been amazing with my horse Pirate.

He is sometimes quite tense and finds it hard to relax.

Susan communicates in a simple and uncomplicated manner - in a way that the rider understands to then communicate it to the horse in way he understands too.

As a result Pirate is relaxing more and gives me a much easier ride!

Thanks Susan!

-Miriam

Susan is great.

Super enthusiastic and kind to the younger riders.

I would thoroughly recommend her.

-Sarah

Susan helped me start my home bred youngster with basic groundwork and then to load and travel on the float.

Susan is patient, kind, calm and confident with her approach and helped me learn new ways of working with horses.

Highly recommend.

I am a middle age woman who returned to riding after more than 20 years away from it.

Turns out its a lot harder than expected!

Susan is incredibly kind, calm and not only helps you to build a connection with your horse but helps you to understand yourself as well!!!
