With over 40 years of experience working with horses, Susan has dedicated her life to creating a healing space that fosters connection, compassion, and confidence through the bond between humans and horses.The inspiration for Daisy Chain Sanctuary came from Susan's personal journey with her horse, Daisy, who was born with a genetic disorder called cerebellar abiotrophy. Despite being advised to euthanize Daisy, Susan chose to care for her, recognizing the profound need for sanctuaries that support horses deemed "useless" due to disabilities. This experience led Susan to establish a sanctuary that not only provides a safe haven for such horses but also offers therapeutic programs for people seeking healing and growth.Beyond her work with horses, Susan is passionate about sustainable living and environmental stewardship. She attended the Earthship Academy in Taos, New Mexico, and volunteered in building sustainable structures, integrating these principles into the sanctuary's mission.
