Susie Whitcombe’s lifelong connection with horses began in childhood on a farm without ponies, fueling her imagination and creativity long before she owned her first pony at age ten. This early bond inspired her artistic journey, where her paintings focus not on competition but on the deep, quiet connection and shared presence between horses and humans. Her work captures the living experience and emotional truth of this relationship.

Throughout her story, Susie reflects on how the qualities of horses—courage, sensitivity, and freedom—parallel her own creative path. Her art and life embody a devotion to following the horse as both muse and mirror, illustrating a journey of daring and connection across all landscapes of life.
