Sue Eoff grew up in the Bay Area and first rode competitively with NATRC, going on to win the President’s Cup, and completing the Tevis Cup. After earning a B.S. in Genetics at U.C. Davis, Sue interned at a Hungarian sport horse breeding farm, which began her interest in breeds and training techniques from around the world. Sue studied classical riding for two years in Portugal and managed a breeding farm and trained Lusitanos and Anglo-Lusitanos.

After working briefly for a circus trainer in France, Sue worked at a German breeding farm preparing Trakehners for evaluation and sale. She then spent two months outside Vienna working with a leading rider-trainer from the Spanish Riding School.

Following her return from Europe, Sue obtained her USDF Fourth Level certification and bronze and silver medals.

When she's not riding and teaching, Sue is working on her competitive ballroom dance techniques. Sue finds that dancing improves awareness of the movements of horse and rider which enhances her ability to explain the mechanics of the partnership.
