Rider stories of success & learning
“My horse was nervous at the show and very hot to begin with but I kept thinking of all the things Sue tells me in a lesson - "Breathe, breathe, breathe! YOU set the rhythm, slow your rise" - and she calmed down and began to have fun. We ended up doing some of our best work with a lovely rhythm as if we were in a lesson, where I could feel each hoof plant cleanly.”

Here is the lovely Beccy on Sue's super horse Jasper.
Beccy came along for a course of intensive learning, a deep dive into improving her riding.
Each day Beccy would have 2 lessons, one on her own horse and the other on Jasper
I have been riding for over 20 years but have never felt that I sat well on a horse. I have had many lessons but often came away feeling despondent. When some friends mentioned they were having lessons with Sue I decided to give it another shot. In four lessons Sue has completely changed the way I ride. She is a natural teacher and is able to explain concepts in a way I understand. I come away from my lessons feeling excited about what I and my horse can achieve. And finally, I feel like I look like I belong on my horse. If you need some help or a different perspective I would highly recommend Sue.
This was Kate's first lesson with Sue Pennington. She commented "I got more out of one lesson with Sue than I did in four other lessons!"
