Sue Nicole Susenburger 

Sue trained horses for equestrian vaulting and taught lunging for 15 years. Sue has seen amazing results using lunging as a cross-training method for horses. She has completed two lunging exams (level II and III) and earned her Trainer license in equestrian vaulting at the German Equestrian Federation (FN).

While coaching vaulting in the U.S., Sue started sharing her lunging expertise at a friend’s local barn. When she tried to order lunging equipment, she discovered there was no place in the United States to purchase what she needed. It was then that she realized just how uncommon it is in the U.S. to use lunging as a gymnastic-like cross-training exercise for horses.

“Finca Barock is excited to support the online platform Lunging Training. There is clearly a demand for instructions in lunging as an efficient cross training for horses. I have 20 sales horses and would not want to work without lunging as cross training. Riding on a loose and well trained horse based on good cross exercise is a pleasure. I give several times a year weekend courses in lunging for my clients.”

Many, many more…

Further, we collaborate with an extended partner network of about 10 people with horse and lungeing experts.
