SUSAN WITTE

Riding since the age of three, Susan has always had a passion for horses. She began competing at the age of five and has been riding ever since. Growing up in upstate N.Y., at her family's farm, Susan and her brother Peter, started through local 4-H and Saddle Pal Club Shows.

Her first taste of victory was on her registered Welsh pony, named Sunstars Cirrus. They won State Pony Championships throughout New England for many years. The pony led to horses and showing became a full time endeavor.

Peter’s first training barn opened in New Hampshire and Witte Stables began. Susan spent every weekend and school breaks commuting to the barn as well as shows. She began showing client horses at the age of fourteen.

After graduating high school at sixteen, Susan had no question about spending her life working with horses. Susan’s partnership with Peter began and this brother, sister team has made their place in the industry for thirty years and counting.

She is a licensed USEF judge in the Arabian division with Regional/National status. Susan has also served as a delegate for the Arabian Horse Association of Arizona.
