Susan Benson heads the team at Somerset Equestrian Trading formed in 2017 to further extend the integrated marketing programs she had created for equestrian brands for over 30 years with her agency Somerset SportArt. Susan is a life long horsewoman whose love affair with horses began when as a 7 year old she while being home schooled by her mother in England, she took riding lessons in Windsor Park. Each week she would ride a small black pony appropriately named "Nipper." Attached to a leadline with the instructor on a much larger horse, they would set off thru the fields and over streams etc. From that day forward, horses became an integral part of her life. She now resides on her small horse farm in Ocala, Florida with two retired showjumpers and several rescue dogs.
