A message from our founder
My name is Sue Williams, founder of Kindred Spirit Riding™, and I am dedicated to transforming the equestrian experience by helping riders build deeper, more meaningful connections with their horses. Through this program, I strive to create a positive impact by fostering trust, joy, and mutual respect between horse and rider, encouraging a more harmonious and fulfilling partnership.
I have a background in hypnotherapy, sports psychology, and holistic health, with a deep passion for helping equestrians overcome mental barriers and reconnect with the joy of riding. Over the years, I’ve recognized a growing need for a program that prioritizes the emotional well-being of both horse and rider – one that steps away from pressure and competition, focusing instead on trust, connection, and mutual respect.
Drawing upon my experience working with athletes, equestrians, and those navigating personal challenges, I developed Kindred Spirit Riding™ to address these needs. This program empowers riders to embrace a more compassionate and intuitive approach to their equestrian journey. By fostering confidence and connection, Kindred Spirit Riding™ is helping riders and their horses lead more fulfilling, balanced lives.
My dedication to promoting emotional and mental well-being in the equestrian community inspires those who work with me and contributes to a shift in how riders approach their partnership with horses.
