“Cindy’s depth of knowledge, experience and understanding of different horses and problems is incredible. It is great to be able to go to someone who is fantastic at not only the dressage but also on the jumping side. I always come away from a lesson really enthusiastic about working on what has been taught, and I think that Cindy has had a huge positive impact on my riding and the on way of going of my various horses. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough if you are keen to improve your riding and your horses’ performance!” Lucy Squire, Intermediate Event Rider

“I have known Cindy and followed her progress since 1980, and I admire her athletic ability, character and sportsmanship. She is a credit to all her supporters.” Walter Straus, President United States Combined Training Association

“Cindy is truly concerned with the complete emotional and physical well being of every horse in her care, and no effort toward their comfort is too much. One of her strengths is that when confronted with a problem in a horse, she will search until she finds the root cause . She then has the professional contacts and personal skills to be able to rectify the problem, be it physical or emotional. This creates happy horses whose competition results speak for themselves.

After winning several competitions with one of my horses, Cindy sold her very successfully abroad, thanks in part to her excellent international contacts. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any kind of sales, training and competition work with horses.” Julie Kelvie, Event Horse Owner
