You're a capable rider.
Your horse is a good horse.
So why does something still feel off?
Hi I’m Susan, and I help riders who know their horse well enough to know something isn't quite right — and want to actually understand what that is.

You've had good rides. You've also had days that left you feeling slightly unsettled.
Maybe your horse is tense in ways you can't predict.
Maybe the connection that was supposed to come naturally... hasn't.
Maybe you've had advice from three different people and none of it quite fits.
Maybe you keep going back and forth between it's him and maybe it's me.
You're not in crisis. But you're not fully okay either. And you're starting to wonder if you're just going to keep managing this — or whether there's actually something to understand.
Getting a behaviour assessment isn't a last resort. It's what the riders who understand horses actually do.
Most people wait until something goes wrong. Then they're reactive, rattled, and working from a place of fear.
Coming in early — when something feels slightly off but before it's become a problem — is when this work is most effective. You're not too early. There's no threshold you have to hit first.
If your gut is telling you something, that's enough.
How we work together
HORSE BEHAVIOUR ASSESSMENT
For when your gut is telling you something — and you want to actually know what it is
A deep-dive into your horse's history, environment, management, and behaviour. Not guesswork, not generic advice. A real answer, and a plan built specifically for your horse.
EQUESTRIAN COACHING
For riders who want their progress to actually stick
Science-based coaching that teaches you how horses actually learn — so your progress sticks, your horse stays calm, and riding stops feeling like a negotiation.

What Clients Are Saying
-
"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

"We made more progress in one consult with Susan than months of trying different approaches. Her knowledge is deep, her delivery is kind, and the results are real."
— Jill
-
"My horse Layla used to be sedated when clipped. Her response had become dangerous — striking out while sedated. I had not been able to clip Layla in over 3 years until I got Susan's help. Layla is now fully clipped with no sedation required."
— Nicole
