Our Story
I founded Confidence Connection Horsemanship (CCH) from a simple yet profound realization: the journey to horsemanship is as deeply personal for the human as it is for the horse. As a veteran, a retired critical care RN, and a lifelong student of these noble creatures, I saw the need for more than just a horsemanship program — I envisioned a sanctuary where learning, healing, and connection could flourish. My own history with domestic violence has deeply influenced my approach to teaching.
Each interaction at CCH is imbued with understanding, patience, and a deep respect for the horses. Here, we provide a sanctuary where horses and humans learn from each other in an atmosphere of mutual trust. Under my guidance, students of all ages experience the joy of riding and the comprehensive care, communication, and connection that create a lifelong bond with horses.

Testimonials
Anna McMains
It is now 2024 and I still say that Suellen is a wonderful teacher. Even after over two years she continues to be one of the most gifted and compassionate horse women I have ever known. She is dedicated to her students and goes above and beyond for them. Her horses are not only treated well, but are cared for like family. I have not regretted a moment at CCH and continue to learn each visit.
BEST place EVER! You will not be disappointed with your next adventure to this ranch. My daughter has been going to Confidence Connection for 4 years. She has learn EVERYTHING about horses. She loves grooming, learning how horses communicate, what their body language means, and riding!
Most importantly Mrs.Sue has lived up to the name Confidence Connection because my daughter confidence boosted so much after learning from her and continues to boost that confidence to this day.

I can’t imagine anyone else but Sue working with our horse. The first time I watched her engage with our horse I had to fight back tears. The way she gains a horse’s trust is magnificent. She’s also so kind and supportive to us humans, even those of us who don’t know much about horse training. She truly has a gift. She’s been a blessing to our family. I can’t recommend Confidence Connection Horsemanship enough.
