Suzin Daly

..has over 30 years of experience training riders and horses. She started out as a hunter jumper rider and trainer on Long Island, NY. She focused on jumpers for many years before being drawn into the Eventing world. In 1983 Suzin with her husband Owen moved to San Francisco, California where Eventing was her main focus with her Thoroughbred gelding Otsuka, AKA: Pooka competed successfully to Preliminary Three Day Horse Trials. Pooka sustained a suspensor ligament injury. When Pooka was given a sound bill of health Suzin decided to focus on dressage to give him another year to build his strength. Pooka and Suzin where so successful that she did not return him to Eventing but trained and competed Pooka earning many awards including the Patterson Park Prix St. George High Point of the Year award in 1989.

In 1990 Suzin and Owen moved back east to North Carolina. They bought their first farm, and Halifax Riding School was founded. Suzin focused on building the facility and training numerous riders and horses. Owen managed the farms monthly shows which included two recognized USEF dressage shows, five schooling horse trials and schooling combined events. In 1998 the farm was renamed Halifax Farm. This was the turning point where Suzin decided to return to serious training for herself and her new horse L. A. Baltic Sundance. She continues to train riders and horses. There is usually a waiting list to board at Halifax Farm. For those who can trailer in for lessons there is always room. She continues to hone her skills working with such internationally known riders and trainers such as Bo Jena director of the Swedish State Stud of Sweden Flyinge and Anne Gribbons FEI trainer rider and Olympic judge
