Suzanne has been offering riding lessons to all levels of riders for approximately three years. She started truly riding "bareback" after extensive knee surgery; she realized the therapeutic value and the use of riding to recover more quickly. Working with a chiropractor and two physical therapists, she created an extensive therapeutic program she now uses for helping others. Suzanne also participates in many parades and does exhibition riding with her PRE Andalusian. This type of experience has contributed to her ability to offer Bomb-Proofing and Synchronized Riding clinics. References available.

Michele Ulrech, 925-862-0436

Michele Ulrech has been training, starting horses and giving riding lessons for 7 years utilizing the techniques taught by Tom Dorrance, Ray Hunt, and Buck Brannaman.  Currently, she is working with Lynn Palm and her accreditation program because she believes how we ride and communicate with our horses has a big influence in how they respond and behave for us.  Michele specializes in training for the everyday horse and rider.  She starts horses of any age and has experience working with behavior problems, ground work, trailering, etc.  Patience and communication is the key to training.  She feels it is important to work with the horse and the rider as a team to build and develop a good working relationship.  By equipping horse and rider with the proper tools, she lays the foundation for a rider to continue training in the riding discipline he/she prefers.  When riding for herself, Michele prefers western riding and shows in Working Cowhorse, AQHA Ranch Horse Versatility, reining and other working ranch competitions.  References available.
