Thanks to universalsports.comwe can watch the World Cup Final in Las Vegas in real time and yesterday's Grand Prix dressage was as good as it gets (at least for one of the US riders). Steffen Peters on Ravel, won the class - the first time an American won a leg of the dressage final on US soil (by 4 points no less). What a joy to watch their flawless test! I always heard that the zig zags were extremely difficult and Robert Dover, who was doing the commentary, said most of the previous combinations couldn't nail them down but Steffen and Ravel did them perfectly. It really was quite spectacular - what precision and harmony.
At my job at the USEF I have had the pleasure of working with Steffen several times with making his entries into international competitions in Europe. He is quite reserved and uncomplicated. At the WEG in Aachen 2006 I went on my own dime but because I played a role with the accreditation and entries I got a pass and was able to hang out with the staff and riders. One afternoon I ended up at the rider hotel and was standing outside when Steffen noticed me standing there and offered me a ride to the show grounds, clearly where he and Shannon, his wife, were headed. This was a few hours before the musical freestyle and he (riding Floriano) was our only hope for a possible medal so you can imagine the stress he must have been under. Yet he still offered me a ride.
CONGRATULATIONS STEFFEN & AKIKO YAMAZAKI ! (owner)
April 4, 2009 proved to be too windy and chilly of a day for riding but it didn't keep over 3,000 horse enthusiasts away from the Eastern PA Horse Expo held at the Allentown Fairgrounds. A brainchild of Bill and Noelle Vander Brink of Bucks County Equestrian, this new Expo had all the makings of success. Aside from a strategic advertising campaign, the vendor booths were professionally installed and sold-out, I might add. The venue was in the hub of a city yet close enough to the country to draw horse people out from their farms and a radio station was on site broadcasting live adding a flavor of excitement and further promoting the event.
Outdoor demonstrations were given by Amanda Enwright from Black Horse Stables, JC Cutting Horses and Patrick King.
My dear friend and avid equestrian, Donna Foulk of Penn State Co-operative Office, was on hand to give a talk on hay quality and toxic plants and Cheyenne Mease of HealthHeartSoul lectured on The Mind-Body Energy Connection related to equestrian performance.
If you missed out on this expo you can look forward to two more in the fall. The Delaware Valley Horse Expo and the Lehigh Valley Horse Expo. We'll see you there! www.cshorseproperties.com

Dear Cindy,
Dear Cindy, We wanted to let you know how pleased we were with the professional job you did in the marketing and quick sale of our horse farm in Schnecksville, PA. After having our property listed with a local broker for over 6 months without any reasonable offer, we decided to list our property with you. Within a few days you completed a market analysis, told us what the appropriate price should be, listed and gave the property exposure in the horse community. We know now this was the ticket as we immediately began to get offers. It was great to be negotiating with two buyers at once, and even better to get the full price offer with no contingencies with 2 weeks to close! The fact that you accomplished this in a little over one month says a lot about your energy and ability to get things done. We appreciate that you did this all by email and fax, and were always available by phone to offer advice on the negotiations (you were superb on this!), and did a great job just keeping us informed. We really appreciate being able to handle all this from Georgia, although we regret that we never got to meet you in person. If you ever need a reference, please feel free to offer our names. We couldn't have been happier with the service you gave us on our transaction. Good luck with your future business. Brian and Debby Jury
Cindy did an excellent job as our real estate agent. She is very knowledgeable about the area, the equestrian community and the housing market. Not only did she help us find a home that we love but she also helped us connect with people in the horse industry. She was easy to work with and patient with our mission to find the right property.
There is an inherent conflict of interest in real estate (the buyer's agent wanting the buyer to bid high in order to increase the likelihood of the sale, as well as, to increase their commission). This was never the case with Cindy. It was clear from the beginning that she had our best interest at heart and, in fact, she helped us successfully negotiate a better deal than we would have initially sought. C & M
Thank you for all you've done. I couldn't have survived without your assistance. I really don't believe that anyone else would have 
been able to sell that property. It was too "unique" for a regular listing and you really came through with the marketing! Karen Fisher
Congratulations Cindy on a job well done on the close of our house in Stroudsburg on September 15th, 2008! Thank you for your perseverance and time (which was well over your line of duty). Thank you for your professionalism which you graciously rendered not only to us as the sellers, but also to the buyers who did not have an agent to represent them. They were in need of guidance regarding legal matters and inspections to protect them and because of all your connections that you have secured in your many years you were able to give them a list of reputable companies to choose from. Although the duration of the transaction seemed long; it was only 3 months of your hard work and efforts with making sure both parties were protected. End results were: Very happy and satisfied sellers and buyers who really loved the house and its location! Thank you again for doing such a great job in a market that has been questionable. We would highly recommend your services to anyone! Keep up the good work, Sister Marion & Pat S. (non-horse property clients)
Thank you Cindy for selling our home so fast in this tough market! We needed a quick sale so we could move to 
Florida and you did this for us when our last realtor couldn't. You truly understood the uniqueness of our small horse farm and were always looking out for our best interests. We couldn't have done it without you and do not know what we would have had to do if it weren't for you.
Bobby and Deja, Royal Palm Beach, FL formerly of Lenhartsville, PA
Dear Cindy:
Thank you so much for making the sale of our home become a reality. We had tried a few other real estates in this troubled economy to sell our Horse Property and had no success. With you and your Company we were able to sell our home. Your calm nature and determination as well as your high level of integrity, coupled with your experience with Horse properties helped to make a very stressful time in our lives a little less stressful knowing you were our agent! Again thank you for all your help and much success to you in the future. Renee and Joe
We wish you would have been our first and only agent. No one could have worked harder for us. Chris and Johanna
