Highlighted Testimonial
"When I was told we were getting a "Horse Whisperer" to do a workshop with our year 10 students I thought..."that's different" and didn't really know what to expect? An hour later I can only explain that every student and I felt enlightened and had experienced a major breakthrough about understanding our personality and to work with it. Sue taught us lifelong, invaluable lessons about how to effectively communicate with others but remain respectful and to think of others and to be who we want to be. Her presentation was so animated, fun and engaging but with powerful messages about effective communication. She clearly affected every student in the room with her sometimes hilarious stories about overcoming anxiety and controlling our emotions. This presentation is a MUST for all high school students, year 10 upwards to help them to choose a life or career path that suits their personality traits, but will also help enormously to combat depression, anxiety etc. I wish I'd have been exposed to this information at 15... how different my choices might have been with this knowledge at my finger tips?"

Horses Who Heal – The Book
In Horses Who Heal, Sue Spence shares her powerful journey that inspired the creation of the Horses Helping Humans™ program. This uplifting book reveals how the principles of communication, respect, and emotional awareness—learned through her connection with horses—can transform not just how we lead, but how we live.
Through moving stories and real-life experiences, Sue illustrates how horses teach us to be calmer, more grounded, and more self-aware. Her message is simple yet profound: when we change our energy, we change our relationships—with others, and with ourselves.
