Students Riding Beyond the Mirrors

​"Before working with Sue, dressage was a chore for me, something that I never thought I could excel at and was becoming a rate limiter for my progression up the levels in eventing. Partnering with Sue has transformed the relationship between me and my horse. Sue adjusts her teaching style to meet my learning style. She explains the why and how behind each movement, imparting confidence that I could be much better. Developing clearer communication, building strength in the right muscles, improving my position, seat independence and blending of the aids has not only improved the dressage scores but translates to improved ride-ability and tactfulness in the jumping phases. Don’t tell my eventing colleagues, but dressage is fun!"

“Dressage has opened new doors!  It has established a foundation of healthy training for each new equine partner I have worked with. Susanne has helped me to develop my role as a leader and horse trainer which I was not accustomed to being. She also has given me strategies for improving my position and use of aids. I have benefited greatly from her careful selection of analogies, visuals, demonstrations, and tools that match my thinking and learning style. Susanne is equally focused on improving the horse. She frequently asks, “What would the horse say to you right now?” I love that questioning and now use it with a higher level of horse awareness. In developing a partnership, I have embraced Susanne’s premise that learning dressage is best when practiced everywhere. I have enjoyed classes with her in a field, through the woods, by the sea, at a retreat, and as part of a quadrille team which she introduced.  Wherever I ride, the goal is to produce balanced, healthy and happy strides together.”

"The joy of learning dressage has been like learning my horse’s love language … learning how to improve myself in order to bring out the best in my horse - so he can sing to the world!"

"I use dressage as the foundation for all my training horses and students competing in the show arena. My horses stay sounder, more sensitive, supple through regular dressage training. My students are well rounded and versatile by including dressage basics in their everyday lessons."

"Sue's common sense wisdom crosses any discipline.  Her insights into effective connection are as valid to the driving horse as the ridden dressage mount."

"I love her creativity ...we don't just ride on a endless circle. She engages both my brain as well as my horse's...and she believes in me"

"Dressage is important to me to be able to communicate clearly with the horse. Using dressage allows us to build trust by listening to the horse and responding in a way that enables them to perform under saddle with the degree of athleticism and grace they naturally have when free. To have this will help build strength and confidence in the horse of any discipline or level. "

"In my opinion, dressage strengthens the horse over his topline in a manner that allows for better balance, flexibility, and responsiveness to our aids. A solid dressage foundation reduces the risk of injury, enhances fitness, and promotes  a relaxed and supple horse."

"Dressage is such a special journey between you and the horse, physically and mentally. It helps you not only grow closer with your horse, but challenges you to oftentimes take a step back and ‘enjoy the ride."

​“I teach primarily amateurs from various disciplines who want to use dressage principles to help their horses have a long and healthy life as riding horses. My focus is on rider awareness and biomechanics first to help the riders develop the tools needed to help their horses correctly achieve straightness, strength and suppleness among other things.”

"The seat work that I developed in order to produce good dressage work has enabled me to ride ANY kind of horse that I am given, and ride it well!  All of my horses are stronger, more agile and responsive every year."

"Susanne teaches the execution of practicing the movement, and the steps by which one first begins, then improves, and finally executes the full movement correctly, reliably, and consistently."
