Susan Brown
Licensed Trainer/CHA Certified Instructor
30 Years of Experience-  Susan received her first horse in 1978, learning English Hunt Seat in her home town of Indianapolis. When she moved to Arizona in 1985, she learned Western riding and became a wrangler on a 200,000 acre range in the mountains. For 20 years, she has attended week-long trail rides in the southern states, where gaited horses prevail. An avid learner, Susan perpetually engages in continuing education, striving to keep her training and lesson program at its full potential.
Natural Horsemanship Trainer- Susan has learned training techniques used by Chris Cox, John Lyons, Pat Parelli and others. She understands the horse’s instincts and how to help the horse overcome them. She starts colts, and tackles issues such as de-spooking, trailer loading, bad habits, and more with tremendous success.

Gaited Horse Trainer-  What is a gaited horse? See our articles page. Susan purchased her first gaited horse in 1989. Over the years, she gained her knowledge and passion for the gaited horse breeds while riding alongside old timers and other trainers for many hundreds of trail miles in the southern states, where gaited breeds prevail. Susan also employs Dressage techniques to achieve top performance from both horse and rider.

Some trainers are better at training horses, some prefer teaching students. Susan excels at both. Long on patience, she has a knack for explaining concepts in a way the student can easily understand. Teaching progresses at the speed best suited for the clients, whether that be a person, animal, or both. Safety and control are the main focus. Susan is dedicated to helping both horses and people to improve communication, understanding and comfort in order to be successful at whatever pursuits they have with their horse.
