Testimonials
"Susan is an exceptional teacher and extremely knowledgeable in her field.  I came
away with some new perspectives, a new respect for body language, and both eager
and motivated to learn more.  I look forward to taking another class from Susan in
the future!"  Kerry S. - California
"I would just like to say...WOW!!!  Susan is FANTASTIC!!!  I learned SO much,
she gave everyone personal attention and direction, helped us with our problem
areas and gave us new things to work on at home.  I didn't even realize until I got
home how much she helped me leave my comfort zone and really start to LEARN
with my horse.  Susan is a wonderful instructor, so supportive and with wonderful
insight into the horse's mind and the people's as well.  I am really looking forward
to attending another clinic with Susan instructing, she has really helped me see
that I can reach my goals with my horse and live my dream with him.  Thank you
for having such a wonderful instructor!"  Liz C. - Massachusetts
"Susan is a knowledgeable, caring, professional instructor.  Not everyone can work
effectively with adult learners, but Susan seems to excel at it.  For the first time, I
was able to envision my horse and I advancing beyond the basics, and that has
everything to do with Susan's knowledge, skillful instruction, and commitment to
our learning. "  Laura B. - Massachusetts
"In February of 2007, I attended the Liberty and Horse Behavior Course in
Ocala, FL, while there I met Susan.  She was full of sunshine and imaginative
energy.  When I returned home I was determined to invite her to teach at my
small farm.  Susan's deliberate progression, creativity, sparkle, integrity,
committment to safety, drive and enthusiasm motivate us to reach deeper levels
with our horses!  Lisa L. - Pennsylvania
"Susan always maintains a very professional attitude.  Her
clinics are awesome.  She brings such a wealth of information.
 And realistic encouragement.  Patience is a virtue- and Susan
is well blessed, thank goodness for some of us who are not
always so patient.  Linda D. -Vermont
"Susan's help, encouragement, insight and guidance (and PATIENCE!) were all
fantastic.  It was great to have her see and acknowledge the progress my horse and
I are making together.  Instructors like Susan make it possible for Parelli
students like me to progress and grow much more than I would on my own, even
with the help of the DVD's and online info, nothing beats a real person who can be
there, helping you "in the moment" .  Things that were taking me weeks to figure
out Susan helped me "fix" or put me on the right path in a few moments!  She is
such an asset to the Parelli Program, we all feel so lucky when we get to have her
here.  Elizabeth C. - Massachusetts
I am extremely lucky to have access to Susan's teaching.  She
is truly an Instructor Extraordinaire. "  
Chris W. - Massachusetts

"Susan, thanks so much for such a great lesson yesterday!   I always learn so much
from you and yesterday was lots of fun.   You really have a  talent for figuring out
what to teach and how to teach it by breaking it down...It was great to see you and
just really wanted to THANK YOU for being such a great instructor!!!  I am so
lucky to have audited your clinic, just over 3 years ago!!  Cindy W. - California
"Thanks so much, I want you to know I could write a book about all the ways in
which Manu and I have benefited from our last session with you. I think we are
making good progress.  I can't wait to see you again and show off our improvements,
I hope you will be pleased with us!!!
I feel happy and grateful for all your help, from Liberty to Trailer Loading to riding.
I could not have come so far in this time frame on my own, not the way I was going,
without your support."  Mona Z. -California
" I just returned from the best clinic I've ever experienced.  Susan Nelson
masterfully brought to life the storybook world of the PNH Level One DVD course.  
She spoke to the needs of every student (and horse) with respect, clarity and
knowledge.  Susan Nelson is a blessing."  Grace B. - California
Thanks for an amazing day, I hope I can remember everything! This is
truly a remarkable journey, I know that without your knowledge and
teaching style Georgia wouldn't be where we are today, learning, happy
and licking our lips! Margo E. - California
Thank you for your encouragement & patience - you are a great teacher!
