Testimonials
Over twenty five years ago I suffered a riding injury that left me with constant lower back pain.
Since taking Suzanne's mat class my back pain has completely disappeared. Additionally, I have much more control over my body in the saddle, making me more effective as a rider. And I actually look forward to swimsuit season now.
Practicing pilates with Suzanne on a regular basis has helped me realize tremendous benefits in my body!

"Most riders believe that the only way to improve their riding is to ride more, but Equestrian Pilates improves body awareness, strength, and balance in a way that is certain to dramatically improve anyones' riding.
As an instructor and trainer, I use Suzanne's techniques daily to gain a more effective, effortless and balanced position and in lessons to help others do the same."

"In addition to having a great time in class, Equestrian Pilates has made me much more aware of my body and balance.
My horse really appreciates this class too since I am correcting my tendency to lean to one side. It has been worth the ride down from New Hampshire to Bedford, MA."

"I've worked with Suzanne for two years. Pilates has helped strengthen my core and helped my riding immensely. My balance in the saddle has improved as well as the effectiveness of my half halts.
Suzanne's classes are fun and challenging and she varies the exercises so no two classes are the same!."

Pilates has been a great help to me in building muscular strength and tone
as well as better posture and balance. My increased awareness of the organization
of my body and core strength is very effective with improving my riding.
As I become more connected throughout my body and develop more core strength
I am able to be a more correct reference for my horse. My overall alignment and
posture in daily functional movements; walking, standing, sitting has improved as well.
Suzanne is a wonderful teacher and is particularly good at teaching to all the levels
of ability at once in her mat classes. I have been able to slowly rehab quite well
from major abdominal surgery under her skilled direction.
