Client Comments

Dear Susie,

The words, "Thank you," are inadequate for all your kind help today. We are so grateful for the generous gift of your time today. From helping Brigid by holding Kazoo to your gentle way in loading him into your trailer to investing time in getting to know us all (humans and horses) today -- you are a gift to us. For us, you were exactly the right person at the right time.

I will complete the horse objective worksheet this week. It's quite impressive for you to have your clients reflect upon and clearly identify their horse goals -- so that's the bar by which one can measure steps towards success. What a good idea!

Hope you enjoy your family time on Sunday. I will let you know how the treatment goes with Kazoo and when the clinic plans to release him.

Best wishes,
Dalyn and Norm Geiser

"I have used Susie's services for almost ten years. Vacation care, lessons, transporting horses, training, finding a good farrier, attending clinics, you name it, she has helped in all areas of horse care. I have numerous horses, Susie has worked with them all using the technique appropriate for each horse so the task is successfully accomplished. Lessons are fun, either in the ring or out on the trail. I take care of my horses by myself and when I need a helping hand I call Susie. She has worked with my horses, foals to seniors, and has given lessons to family members who range from beginner to fairly accomplished. It is wonderful having someone with so much  experience willing to come to you, it makes horse ownership a delight."

"Susie Q has been taking care of my 'kids' for years now.  I can go away and have a restful vacation knowing that all my pets will be cared for properly.  I know that she will look them over carefully, just as I do every day, and if there is a problem, she will take care of it and make sure that I am aware of it, even if it is something small.  I can count on her for useful advice and valuable opinions.  When you are a "hands-on" horse owner like I am, it is hard to leave, even for a few days.  I have enough confidence in Susie to leave for a whole week!  Dogs, cats and horses are all content when I return.  They can survive without me?  Hmm, maybe I should go away more often!"

"I started using Susie's vacation services including horse, dog, cat and general 'check on the house' issues. When I met Susie for the first time I was immediately impressed by her professionalism, knowledge, and ability to size up what I needed.

I have now engaged her training services to help me get together with my Arabian gelding who has been a challenge for me since I bought him as a 2 year old. We are making great progress, but more than that, 'I'm having fun with my HORSE." -Joan Rauseo, customer since 2003

"Thanks to Susie, I was able to feel confident about leaving my precious young Friesian horses when I had to work or be away from home. She assisted me faithfully through the most difficult time in my life and helped me gain my confidence in horses again!"

"Susie became more than a person to care for my HORSES, Dogs and cats while we were away..........She was always there to help when any problem or question arose. She went way out of her way to be right there and ready and willing to go far beyond anything anyone would expect. We would come home to a beautiful clean barn and many times shining horses that had been scruffy when we left. She is honest, caring and truly knows what your animals mean to you and she cares as much for them as she does her own. Since we moved to Northern Calif. there is NO WAY we could ever replace her as a dear friend or top notch Horse person."
