Cindy has over 40 years of experience in hunt seat, saddle seat, in hand/halter , western pleasure, dressage, and breeding which involved handling mares/foals and stallions.She is a certified practitioner in Linda Tellington Jones TTouch Training (TTEAM) and Peggy Cummings' Connected Riding.
She has bred over 50 Arabians, raised 2 kids (with the help of husband and best friend, Mickey) and worked full time over 36 years w/ Xerox. After retiring in 2007 from her job as Regional VP General Mgr, she decided she wanted to spend more time doing her "horse thing." Cindy also does business consulting and executive coaching on a limited basis.
So now she not only uses Connected and Tellington Ttouch methods everyday with her own horses, but conducts clinics and lessons. She has clinics at her farm in Lakeland, GA or will travel to yours. In addition, she is Peggy Cumming's International Event Coordinator so she can schedule events for you with Peggy or one of her practitioners or instructors in your part of the world.
Finally, she is the Georgia State Breeder for Personal Ponies, LLT- a national non profit that breeds, raises and trains UK Shetland ponies to give, at no charge, to families with children who are terminally ill or have mental, physical or emotional special needs. The ponies return to PPL when the family no longer has need of them. Some of these little guys have raised 4-5 children during their "careers." The picture above of the pinto pony is Greystone Mr. Mc Roberts (Robbie) who is the stallion here for the PPL breeding program- a fine little man.

What to expect using these methods?
Connected Riding- This method is based on human and equine bio mechanics that teach the connection between how bracing patterns and old habits in the rider impact the posture, movement and behavior of the horse. Use your body more efficiently to improve your horse's performance. Ride without compression, pain, or stress. Have more ease, fun,
and longevity in riding for you and your equine partner.
.
You will see clear changes in how your horse responds to your queues - both physically and behaviorally.You will experience a more secure, safe position in the saddle. These methods apply to competition horses as well as pleasure/trail horses.
TTEAM - through use of body work on the horse (TTouches) and ground exercises (leading & the Confidence Course) you release tension and bring new awareness to your horse's body and balance. This brings increased confidence and trust between horse and rider which results ultimately in better communication.
"I have found TTEAM and Connected Work are extremely complimentary methods that build upon one another. I have not yet run into any issue or problem that could not be improved with one or the other or both of these methods. " Cindy
"Cindy's clinics are very informative, fun, and effect real change for anyone who is open to learning something new. Whether you are a rider or an auditor, it is guaranteed that you will take away something useful to make your riding and time spent with your equine partner more enjoyable."
