SuE Eoff

As a child, she grew up sitting under the horses in the field next to her house in the San Francisco Bay Area. The first horse connection never wore off and when she was 10, she was finally able to have her first horse, Mariah (a cremello TB/QH cross). Then NATRC became her main focus and led to national competition. Sue won the 1982 President's Cup, driving coast-to-coast twice with her two-horse trailer and the half-Arabian, Bezarue.

College was next with a B.S. in Genetics from the University of California, Davis. A 100-mile Tevis endurance ride was also part of the mix at this time. Instead of graduate school, Sue headed to Hungary for an internship on a breeding farm and never looked back. Studying horse starting techniques and classical dressage became her focus and led to a profession. It was a privilege to live and study abroad.

Combining her enjoyment of ballroom dancing, training horses, fitness training, and a self inquiry path, life looked successful and full. But, she felt something was missing. She ended up closing her horse sales and training business in Southern California and headed to South Africa to find answers. The answers she found led her to Jaipur, India in 2011. Very quickly, an opportunity arose to rent a small, pink, cement room down the street from the Ashram. She sold all but one horse, Jaz, so it meant boarding him as an absentee owner. Questions about life and a deeper connection were the focus of her time in India.

Several years later, her teacher at the Ashram said she was ready to return. Surprised, she headed back to the horse world.

Years of training and teaching continued to unfold in different places. Sue wondered what it would be like to not be a global nomad and settle down.

In 2021, a big change arrived in Sue's life when the opportunity arose to purchase a beautiful 88-acre farm with an indoor arena, 10 stall barn, a new outdoor arena and new complete fencing for 4 rotational pastures. What a dream come true to have a place to live with the horses!
