Cindy has been with horses all her life and de- scribes her parents as keeping the fami- ly “horse poor.” Her father adored horses and made sacrifices to continually board them out there. As Cindy turned 18, he had just purchased a farm for the family and was putting up a barn so they could keep their own horses when he suddenly passed away. That was a big thing. Forced to

Nobody was hurt. “It was 10:30 at night and it did make the national news,” Cindy noted. “All the power went off on the block.” Nowadays she and her family merely refer to it as, “The Incident.” That was another big thing.

To date, she runs an eight-stall facility that houses horses used in many different disciplines--Western, English, dressage, H/J.

She envisions being able to fully show again one day and a few years ago even purchased a fully-trained horse sight unseen named “A Flashy Continental.” He is a 16.1 red roan tricked out with lots of chrome and around the facility is called “Beauford.” “I like big horses,” she said.
