Torchlight Training
Home of Susannah's journey in Classical Horsemanship. Classical Horsemanship is a distinctly european tradition, an equestrian philosophy developed over centuries by the horsemen and women of Europe, a blend of knowledge initially coming out of the cavalry and the royal schools of equitation, where it was considered an art form and a spiritual quest on the path of personal enlightenment. Susannah's book on the subject is available here.
Fenella, A Fable of a Fairy Afraid to Fly
​
Susannah is the author of Fenella, A Fable of a Fairy Afraid to Fly. Fenella is a lavishly illustrated fairytale for children of all ages (including adults) in the tradition of Hans Christian Andersen. A story about facing and embracing your worst fears, about unconditional love, and how sometimes, the worst thing that happens to you, can be the best thing that ever happens to you. Illustrated by Ditte K. Gade. Fenella is available in print, as an eBook and on audio CD. Listen to the Fenella Audio CD, read by Susannah with music by Grammy nominee, Dave Alexander, and keep up with all things Fenella. Both books and CDs can be purchased here.

DoTerra Essential Oils
For someone who was utterly unimpressed with essential oils in the past, Susannah fell for these oils hard and fast. They are only collected from plants grown in their indigenous countries and that may be what makes the difference. No synthetics, and held to a third party standard of quality unequalled in the industry. They actually work and do what they say they are going to do. Check it out, you might like them!

The Katika Nuru Project
Susannah’s passion project devoted to our natural world and those who safeguard it. Inspired by Susannah's very personal story about her first Horseback Riding Safari in Kenya in March of 2012, the project sadly did not take off as planned, but the silver lining must be that the material collected on behalf of the project will now be put to good use by the Tristan Voorspuy Conservation Trust. The Katika Nuru website will no longer be accessible after July 9th, 2018.
SC Torchlight Photography
This is where Susannah uploads some of her photos. Susannah has always been interested in photography, but her many other interests ( chiefly horses!) got in the way of pursuing this interest. With her trips to Africa, however, and some new equipment, this interest is taking on a bit of a life of its own. So much to learn, so little time...
