Testimonials

Sharon

My horse was a bolter! He would get very panicky and run away.

I didn't want to give up on him or me, which is where my journey with Sue and more kind, natural methods of training started.

I now have a horse which hacks out in a halter, is beautifully light and balanced under saddle, and performs rein backs, turns on the quarters, turns on the forehand, and lateral moves using seat and weight aids. We have been cross-country schooling and I am planning to compete in Trec this year! We also have a deep bond and a mutually respecting, loving partnership!

THANK YOU SUE!!

Having passed Sue’s AEB theory course I can thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wishes to increase knowledge and understanding of the innate behaviour of horses.

The well-structured and comprehensive material provides plenty of thought-provoking, in-depth, reading and homework. Embracing this core awareness surrounding innate behaviour and applying it through lightness, feel and timing is increasingly being awakened in the emerging shift in human-horse interaction.

Sue's Philosophy

  • To Gain Mutual Understanding
  • Trust & Confidence
  • To fully embrace that horses are sentient beings
  • To achieve a deeper understanding  of how they perceive us and the world around them
  • To know their innate needs and to make sure that you meet as many of them as possible
  • To develop a communication that is built around mutual respect
  • To keep focussed and in the moment whilst also staying in a playful/light  state of mind

I chose this photo because I had been sitting on this box having a cup of tea when Dream appeared and put herself on it.  By standing up on this box she could see over the tops of the stables to the fields behind, which she loves to do.

Dream had developed enough trust and confidence to step up onto the box to enjoy the view without having to ask my permission, wait to be asked or having an expectation of a food reward. She did it for her own gain and enjoyment and we happily shared the box together, which is why I love this photo.
