Sue Muir and her students have been successful at every level of reining, all the way to the North American Affiliate Championships, where she and her son, Nick, have earned multiple Top Tens, and a North American Reserve Championship on horses they have trained. Sue’s focus is on humane methods that will improve performance without putting excessive stress on the horse. Some very effective training methods are taught that are not commonly known in the reining industry. Sue’s background in psychology and animal behavior help to make a team of each horse and rider, and her perspective as a NRHA judge allows her to explain what is truly important in the show pen.
