ABOUT SUE
The person who built the program
Sue Spence has spent more than twenty years teaching people to communicate under pressure. She was the first to identify how each personality type gives itself away through body language — and she built a program around it. Licensed since 2016.
Diagnosed with autism level 2 and ADHD as an adult, Sue finally understood why horses had mattered so much growing up. The program came out of what they had taught her.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
How Horses Support the Learning
Horses respond to energy and body language, not words. That makes them an honest mirror. Participants find out immediately how they actually come across — and learn how to change it.
The result is calmer communication under pressure, clearer boundaries, and difficult conversations that do not turn reactive. More than two decades of documented outcomes sit behind it.
Sue built this program over twenty years in the field. Schools, youth services, government departments and corporate teams have all put people through it. That history is why the method holds up under pressure — it was tested with the hardest audiences first.
Who it's for: aspiring facilitators, schools, corporate teams, youth services, families and veterans.
THE BOOK
Horses Who Heal
By Sue Spence — Founder, Horses Helping Humans. Published by Pan Macmillan.
All her life, Sue has found solace and companionship with her horses. After a brush with cancer in her late thirties, the family made a tree change — and Sue was finally able to live a long-held dream of working with horses every day.
"The powerful life lessons horses have taught her are now helping thousands of people — from juvenile offenders to company CEOs — discover the power of communication."
