Sue Wyrcimaga
Communications Coordinator
Sue says her parents told her her first word was "pony" and so began a life long love of all things horse. She was fortunate that her parents and sister shared this passion and they started a small breeding farm, breeding & showing Canadian sport horses. Sue now has a Thoroughbred mare, named All of My Heart - barn name Olivia. Together they are on a journey through the levels of dressage. Sue's granddaughter recently started lessons and they are excited to share the sport together.
