suzanne is one of the meanest people i have ever come across in this community. i went to bel canto because i was looking for a new place to gain more horse experience. as soon as i got to the facility i had bad vibes. she did not seem excited and was very unwelcoming. she knew the barn i came from, and immediately started bad mouthing some of the trainers, and even said some shady things towards other clients who have come to her claiming she had to "fix them". genuinely who would do that as a first impression. i started riding and immediately she started criticizing almost every thing i did. mind you it was 85 degrees and the horse i was on was pretty lazy so already i was overheating and exhausted. i told her i needed a walk break and she just immediately got pissy and told me i was done. im open to constructive criticism, but she was blatantly rude. i heard from the grapevine that after my lesson, she was talking bad about me and my riding to other clients. she said i started crying which i didn’t and it just feels like she's using me as an example of a “bad rider” which makes me super uncomfortable given how nice i was to her. she was also very defensive when any comment was made towards her. i have been nothing but nice to this lady and this is how i get paid in return. mind you i am only 18, came with my friend who is 17, and am basically being bullied by a woman older than me.
