Susan grew up at horse shows. Her parents, Bee and Bob Pape, were organizing and
managing horse shows most of her life. They hosted
shows such as the AHSA Central States Championships (which grew over time
into our USDF Regional Championships) and the first national "head to head" dressage competitions in the United States,
the historic Insilco United States Dressage Championships held in Oklahoma City in 1981.
Her father was a Dressage and Combined Training Technical Delegate. Her sister was also involved
in dressage as a rider, trainer, and USEF licensed Dressage judge
In the 1980's, while watching her mother organize shows on index cards and having recently
graduated with a technology degree, she developed software to support their shows.
What she did not realize was that they were happy to have the software, but not so happy to
use a computer. Hence, her career as a show secretary began.
THREE GENERATIONS of Show Secretaries...
Susan's family (husband and two daughters) are very
supportive of her passions. Everyone helps out including her daughter, Julia,
who is now a USEF Level 4 secretary with shows of her own.
Susan also competes so she understands "both sides of the table". In 1998, she earned her USDF
Bronze Medal; in 2006 she earned the USDF Adult Amateur Training Level Rider Award
(highest average percentage in the nation); several USDF Regional Championships and, in 2017, her USDF Silver Medal.
Today, Susan has several wonderful people around the United States that help support
the shows. We
look forward to supporting you as a competitor or an organizer in the near future!
