The FEI Rider and Competitor:
FEI level rider and instructor, USDF Grand Prix Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medalist and large R judge Sue Kolstad has studied in Europe with many international masters of the equestrian arts. Earning her Bachelors of Arts in Education, she taught school for seven years before taking on horses full time. In her mid 20’s she became an avid student of the horse. She started riding at home in Wisconsin with Lois Heyerdahal and then apprenticed five years with Nick Pawlenko before going out on her own - continuing her education with Tom Valter, Carol Grant, Conrad Schumacher, Michael Barrison, and Bo Jena.
Sue spent many years as a successful eventer, taking
the gelding Stars and Stripes to the preliminary level, but now concentrates on her passion - Dressage. She has successfully campaigned two Grand Prix dressage horses, Scarabeaus and Prometheus, winning her USDF Grand Prix Gold medal on Scarabeaus. Sue is currently campaigning the Danish Warmblood Gelding Fruhlich to the top of the rankings. Fruhlich is currently the top Danish Warmblood I-1 Freestyle horse in the country, ranking 17th overall. Sue is planning to bring him out in Grand Prix this winter in Florida.
The Student:
Maintaining a very full schedule, Sue is currently competing, holding clinics and teaching private lessons from Florida to Alaska. Convinced that a rider is always a work in progress, Sue pursues her own classical education with enthusiasm - riding for the finest international dressage clinicians whenever possible. Among those with whom Sue has, or is continuing to study are Bo Jena from Sweden, Michael and Sharon Poulin, Silke Rembacz. Sue has also cliniced with Juan Matute, Jan Brink, Dr. Ceasar Parra. Currently, Sue is scheduled to ride, by invitation, for Steffan Peters in March 2007, and has just completed an intense clinic with Olympic Gold Medalist Ulla Salzgeber. Along that vein, Sue, currently a Large R rated judge, is preparing for her move up to theUSEF's S judge’s certification in 2007.
