SUSAN MARLENE NIENABER.

(MSc., BHSAI. Certified Professional Transformational Coach)

THE SHORT.

Susan first made a name for herself as an equine behaviour expert. Realising how important mindset is to achieving success and how little focus there is on cultivating a winning mindset in the equestrian coaching space, she has made it her mission to help riders create the mindset they need to succeed.

She loves seeing riders connect with their horses at any level of riding.

THE LONG.

I have always been in love with horses. Ever since I can remember I would get my parents to take me to pet the horses at the local riding school.

Growing up in the Netherlands meant growing up in horse country, but like most I got told that a career in horses wasn’t possible. So whilst I kept riding I focussed my studies on something else, so that I could have a “good” career.

It wasn’t until years later when I was travelling Australia, where I met some amazing equine and equitation scientist, that I realised I could have a good career and do what I love.

This realisation made me pursue an MSc in equine science at Aberystwyth, Wales, which was followed by a career in coaching that took me all around the world. It’s taken me to work with riders in Europe, Asia and Oceania.

Whilst my first love is creating a space for riders to learn to fully see their horse so they can create a deep connection with their horse. My second love is getting equestrians all over the world to belief in themselves, thrive and reach new heights in their equestrian journey by using equestrian specific mindset coaching

I desire that all horse lovers are able to create a deep connection with their horse and live the life of their dreams. Whether that is conquering the equestrian world by winning Badminton, to ride at the beach for the first time or to just feeling the best version of yourself so you can enjoy your equestrian life.
