Susan is ranked as a 3 star rider by Centerline Scores which shows that she has successfully ridden and shown a horse through the levels from second level to fourth level. Susan and her horse Tattoo have competed in multiple Regional Championships at Second, Third, and Fourth Level and have also successfully shown at FEI Prix St. Georges and Intermediare.
