ABOUT SUSAN HARRIS:
Susan E. Harris is an international clinician, riding teacher, equestrian author and artist from Cortland, New York. She has taught, trained, shown, and prepared horses and riders for competition in many equestrian disciplines, including hunters, jumpers, dressage, equitation, eventing, western pleasure and performance, saddle seat, and the pleasure and versatility breeds. Susan directed a nationally accredited riding instructor school for 10 years, taught college equine studies and physical education equitation courses, and has been active in training and establishing certification standards for American riding instructors since the l970's. She has been honored as a Master Instructor by the American Riding Instructor Association. A Senior Centered Riding Instructor and Clinician, Susan apprenticed with Sally Swift, the founder of Centered Riding®. She teaches clinics in Centered Riding®, Anatomy in Motion™, and equine and rider biomechanics for instructors, trainers, judges, and riders of all levels and riding interests. Susan's original presentation, "Anatomy in Motion™: The Visible Horse", in which she paints the skeleton and muscles on a live horse, has been a popular attraction at equine expos and clinics across North America and around the world, including EquineAffaire, Equitana USA, the American Quarter Horse Congress, the George Morris Horsemastership Clinic, the Centered Riding International Symposium, and expos in Australia, Japan, Iceland, Egypt and Europe. Susan also teaches Centered Riding Open and Instructor Update Clinics and Centered Riding Instructor Certification Clinics worldwide. Susan Harris is the author and illustrator of popular horse books, including Horse Gaits, Balance, and Movement (Revised 2017), Horsemanship in Pictures, Grooming to Win (3rd Edition), the three U.S. Pony Club Manuals of Horsemanship, and the USPC Guides to Longeing, Bandaging, and Conformation. She has written many magazine articles, including a regular column in EQUUS Magazine, Commonsense Horsemanship. With Peggy Brown, she produced two DVDs: Anatomy in Motion™ I: The Visible Horse, and Anatomy in Motion II: The Visible Rider™. Susan designed the art for the Breyer Anatomy in Motion model horse, and has illustrated many popular horse books. Susan's study of equine and human anatomy and movement as an artist as well as an instructor, trainer and rider, has given her a unique perspective on how horses and riders balance and move together. Centered Riding techniques can help riders discover how to use their bodies better for improved balance and harmony between horse and rider. Susan's knowledge of horse gaits and movement and wide experience in various breeds and disciplines enable her to help all kinds of riders and horses improve their balance, comfort, movement and performance. Her friendly and positive teaching style and visual approach help to make learning clear, understandable, and enjoyable for riders of all ages, riding interests and disciplines, from 4-H, Pony Club and pleasure riders to instructors, trainers, and competitors. When not traveling, teaching or writing, Susan enjoys dressage, jumping, and trail riding.

What I do

I’m Susan Harris, an equestrian clinician, writer and artist; I teach Centered Riding and Anatomy in Motion (Visible Horse) clinics around the world, and I write and illustrate horse books. I’ve been traveling to teach clinics worldwide for more than 30 years, and I enjoy working with riders of all ages and levels, and especially riding instructors. I work with all kinds of horses and riders, and I especially like to see improvement in the quality of the horse’s movement and the understanding between horse and rider. I teach dressage, jumping, western dressage, gaited riding and riders of all breeds, disciplines and riding interests.

Centered Riding is a method of teaching and learning how your mind affects your body, and how your mind and body connect with your horse. It was developed by the late Sally Swift; I was lucky to have apprenticed with her in the l980s. Centered Riding uses body awareness, a knowledge of functional anatomy, human and equine biomechanics, and the mind-body connection to bring horses and riders together for better harmony in horsemanship, performance, and enjoyment.

Anatomy in Motion is the business I share with Peggy Brown; I give the Visible Horse presentation, in which I paint the skeleton and muscles on a living horse, to demonstrate how the anatomy produces good movement, and Peggy Brown appears as the Visible Rider, wearing a “skeleton suit” to show how the rider’s body works with the horse. We each give clinics separately, but we also enjoy giving Visible Horse and Rider and other presentations together. We have two DVDs, Anatomy in Motion 1: The Visible Horse and Anatomy in Motion 2: The Visible Rider. We have done presentations around the world, from Australia and Japan to Iceland, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria and Egypt.

I also write and illustrate horse books; my most recent book is Horse Gaits, Balance and Movement, newly revised and illustrated in color. I also wrote and illustrated the U.S. Pony Club Manuals (also recently updated), and Grooming to Win.
