Emma Suess is a name that everyone at the barn knows well. This sweet girl has put countless hours of blood, sweat, and tears into SLEC’s lesson program and her own riding journey as both a student trainer and an intercollegiate rider. We are so excited to see how she flourishes in the Spring of 2025 as she finishes her business degree in her hometown of Asheville, NC at App State. Barn members of all ages are going to miss you so dearly, Emma. We love you, and sincerely appreciate your years of dedication to the young riders and community of the SLEC family. We know you are going to do so well and you will ALWAYS have a home with us!!
