Sue Haslingden

Sue Haslingden has a strong commitment to horses, horsemanship and their management that has spanned over forty years. Sue has had major influences throughout her life, which have contributed to her foundation of knowledge and commitment to horses. Although being heavily involved in pony club, showing and eventing, the challenges of campdrafting and cutting have also made an impact on Sue's interest in horses.

Sue's continued interest in equine studies encouraged her to study for the Diploma in Equine Massage Therapy at Orange, graduating in 2003. Sue currently practices as an Equine Massage Therapist and travels constantly throughout NSW to keep in touch with many professionals within the horse industry.

Sue has combined her experiences, and is now a part time teacher at TAFE NSW - Western Institute, with a special interest in equine acupressure and herbal medicine for horses.
