Growing up on the plains of South Dakota, Cyndi has been "horseback" since she was 4 years old. She would ride anything should could get on, usually bareback, giving her great balance and a natural ability to bond and communicate with the horse to establish respect and partnership, giving the horse a willingness to learn. Cyndi is very passionate about Missouri Foxtrotters. She believes they have much to offer someone looking for an all around pleasure horse. She loves the versatility and variety of body styles within the breed. They are intelligent, loving, willing, very athletic, and all around tough. Cyndi's goal is to help teach people to learn to read and understand their Missouri Foxtrotter. She strives for the rider and horse to establish communication and respect. As she educates the rider on how to ride their horse, she helps the horse relax and gait properly, so together they can reach their fullest potential. Cyndi's teaching and training methods assist in developing that lifelong bond between horse and rider. She is a combination of cowgirl, "can do it attitude", and gaited horse trainer who works with the horse AND rider from start to finish. Cyndi has worked with numerous people who have purchased their first gaited horse, assessing the abilities of these new riders, then helping them partner with a horse appropriate to their needs. She prefers to buy young stock (weanling to 2 yr olds) and develop them from the beginning, to produce very well-mannered and trained Missouri Foxtrotters that gait naturally and correctly for her clients. She has also worked with enthusiasts from other disciplines (dressage, hunter jumper, saddle seat, and western riding) to help locate their first Missouri Foxtrotter and then follows through with lessons, training, and coaching to make it a successful transition. Cyndi does assessments on Missouri Foxtrotters for behavioral problems and gaiting issues. Her method of training is to work with the rider and the horse individually. She gives lessons on one of her well-trained horses and teaches the rider how to ride a gaited horse properly. Cyndi then works with the client's horse and its issues. Once she has the rider understanding the balance and feel of riding a gaited horse and has their horse gaiting correctly, Cyndi coaches the rider and horse together to become an effective working partnership. |
