Meet The Team
Sue has been involved in the horse world all her life as a rider, coach, mother, truck driver, groom, gopher, and - by her own admission - as a “general dogsbody”. She continues to support her daughter Stacey who competes at the top levels of the sport, having ridden for New Zealand on several occasions.
Sue holds both her A & H certificates, and has worked in the saddlery manufacturing and retail business for 10 years, as an equestrian vet nurse for three, and has competed in equestrian events for 30-odd years. It’s fair to say that this life experience has allowed her to build up a very broad knowledge base that covers almost any aspect of equestrian sport.
