Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos, we are very grateful for your support.
I am Susan Harden and my mission here is to support you in creating a mutually respectuful, loving and rewarding relationship with your horses and guide folks home to their hearts though connecting with horses and nature .
I believe the horse is a wise teacher and a powerful way to come back to true connection and belonging, offsetting the chaos of over-communication ( and lack of real connection ) in our modern digital world.
Horses are total, authentic, and present, qualities we can embrace to bring more joy and aliveness into our lives.
Good horsemanship is just good horsemanship so whatever your equestrian discipline, our training on the state of being/mind will help you up your game and be much appreciated by your horse.
Live and breathe horses was established in 1995 and has grown and transformed over the years parallel to my equestrian/life journey.
The name comes from the obsessive nature of my horsemanship. For those who don't know the expression in English, to “live and breathe“ something suggests that you dedicate all your time to it and it is what gives meaning to your life.
Because the breath is the top focus in all of my work, the name is even more perfect.
My connection with horses spans 5 decades and includes pony club, showjumping, 3-day eventing, classical equitation, dressage, equine-assisted therapy, “natural horsemanship" and more important than any label, deep love and respect for the horse which is what motivates me to do what I do.
I am also fascinated by the parallels in horsemanship and life as my hero Buck Brannaman says “Horses, life, it's all the same to me"
