What to Expect
Sulu will focus on building skills to improve course work. She will help riders develop the ability to efficiently navigate a clean course and improve their jump-off times by focusing on geometry not speed. Sulu’s individual approach will help riders solve challenges they face on course.

In 2014, Sulu achieved another career highlight placing 8th in the prestigious Zoetis $1,000,000 Grand Prix.
As a coach, Sulu successfully guided riders to numerous championship titles including the VHSA Medal Finals Championship and the Zone 3 Equitation Championship.
