EARLY ADOPTER

Sue Watkins of Riverside, California, was one of the first non-Andalusian/Lusitano trainers to take up working equitation; she’s been competing in it since 2010. She’s shown astride Kiger Dios Estoy Aqui KCA, her 7-year-old BLM-branded Kiger mustang stallion, the 2017 working equitation novice B champion. “WE is the perfect balance of proper riding techniques, confidence building, and fun,” she maintains.
