Experienced tutor in Horseback riding in Los Angeles, Susan offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I have been taking lessons with Susan for over three years now and I love this barn, the horses and how much progress I've made since I started working with Susan. She can see exactly what you're doing wrong and will fix it. I came to the barn barely able to canter and now I jump with confidence. Thank you Susan!

I believe Susan Friend is an excellent trainer. I love Goldspirit Farm and the atmosphere and of course the horses. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to learn to ride or to enhance their equestrian skills.

Susan is a fantastic teacher! I've been riding for over 15 years and I've improved more as a rider in the past 4 with Susan than anywhere else! The horses and property are all well cared for and the people are the nicest I've met. If you want a great place to ride with great people, Goldspirit Farm is it!

Susan is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. She takes excellent care of all of her animals. We learned so much about proper horse care, tack care, and riding techniques. She has excellent lesson horses and always made our lessons challenging but fun. Goldspirit Farm was our home away from home!

The instructor, Susan Friend Letourneur really cares about her students and wants to see them excel. She pushes you and knows you can succeed, even when your self talk and inner fears are trying to hold you back. Sometimes there is tough love, but just as there is tough love, there is praise and support when a certain skill finally clicks. She is very knowledgeable trainer who will take you to the next level. She takes excellent care of her horses which is a plus.

I started riding at Goldspirit Farm a year and a half ago, and I'm so glad I did. Susan is a wonderful teacher, who firmly pushes you to be your best and achieve your goals. She has really been helping me push past my own mental blocks to become a better rider. The lesson horses here are great, and suitable for people who have never ridden up through advanced eventers. We can also ride during the rain! The facilities are well-cared for, and you can't beat the prices.

Been riding with Susan since 2013. She was very patient teaching a race track rider to sit up and sit in the saddle. She pushes you to be better, but never beyond your abilities.

Awesome place! Susan is an excellent trainer and has taught me so much. Her horses are quality and well taken care of. The facility is really nice with jump and dressage arenas as well as a long, gallop track that makes you feel like you’re on a mountain trail. The people that ride at Goldspirit are the nicest and everyone is very supportive of each other. I highly recommend Goldspirit Farm and Susan Friend.
