The Horse as Teacher: Sue Willoughby on Equus Coaching and Bold Living

In this lively and inspiring episode of Meaning and Moxie After 50, Leslie Maloney sits down with the remarkable Sue Willoughby — a woman who has truly done it all. From piloting planes and performing stand-up comedy to refereeing roller derby and driving limousines, Sue has built a life defined by curiosity, courage, and the willingness to step far outside her comfort zone. But it’s her deep connection with horses, especially through polo, that has grounded her sense of adventure and taught her lessons about trust, resilience, and teamwork.

Together, Leslie and Sue explore what drives a person to keep reinventing themselves, the mindset needed to embrace constant learning, and how animals like horses can shape a person’s outlook on life. Sue shares hilarious stories, hard-earned wisdom, and reflections on why staying curious matters even more as we age. Whether you’re looking for inspiration, a good laugh, or a nudge to try something new, this episode will leave you energized and ready to saddle up for your own next chapter.
