Thoko, from Malawi Africa has been riding for 3 years
Cindy Stys Equestrian Properties, Ltd. is collecting used tack to be sent to impoverished equestrians in Malawi and Swaziland, in Southern Africa. This project, Tackful Mission, is part of a global leadership and training program Cindy Stys is enrolled in at Landmark Education. Her connections to the International Equestrian Federation in Switzerland prompted Stys to link the local horse community to developing countries eager to be involved in horse sport. Zoe Kayes, President of the Malawi Equestrian Federation in Zomba, has been lending her riding equipment to the local children and is giving them riding lessons. Her goal is to establish riding programs at more schools; she is currently targeting St. Andrews Primary School in Blantyre, Malawi and is developing a riding program there. “The children are Malawi’s future and that is why development in riding and other sports is so important” comments Kayes who says riding apparel, tack and grooming supplies are desperately needed.
The tack that was collected at the 4-H Tack Swap in April was donated to Equi-librium Therapeutic Riding Facility in Saylorsburg due to shipping difficulties to South Africa. Due to limited storage space the tack had to be removed before we could figure out a shipping solution. However recently, the President of the International Equestrian Federation, HRH Princess Haya, who Cindy had the pleasure of meeting and working with after the bombings of 911, has graciously offered to have the tack shipped to Africa. To make it a worthwhile shipment, we need to gather more tack so are counting on your generosity.
Donations will be accepted at DelVal Horse Expo (Doylestown) Nov. 1 - 2, 2008 at our booth (#59)www.cshorseproperties.com

| Thank you so much for putting together a wonderful evening. Lorna and I both enjoyed ourselves as well as appreciated the opportunities to network with so many in the equestrian industry. As a success to your concept of networking we received two additional advertisements for our annual program book. Jacqui Richie Lorna Rittenburg Bucks County Horse Park | |
| Thank you(and Carla) for inviting me to the Equestrian Social. What a wonderful idea! I am truly sorry I didn't get there until later but I was great! It was a very nice group of people. Thank you again for having me. Kindest Regards, Patti Thompson | |

| Thank you for inviting me. I had a great time and met a LOT of very interesting people. Mike |
Wow - this is a huge expo! The last time I was in Harrisburg Farm complex was for the PA National in October many years ago as a US Equestrian Federation staff member. It looks a lot different for the trade show.
There is horse lovers' utopia! So many cool products & services - there are around 500 vendors. It's mind boggling as you are walking up & down the aisles. I had seen some great prices too. $35 for hand knit gorgeous wool sweaters! I am definitely going to buy myself one tomorrow before they sell out! Was also looking at Panacur for $52.00 - I usually purchase this on line because you can get a better deal but you can't beat this price because there's no shipping.
My booth is #1616 (in the back) - near some great vendors - western boots for under $80 for example.
Stop by and receive a free bag of organic horse treats! Receive a coupon for $1000 at closing to Chaa
r Saddlery on-line or in Allentown if you buy or sell a property through me!
Hope to see you there-
Cindy

Breeders, trainers, competitors, horse enthusiasts of all kinds, if you are looking to relocate to an affordable area convenient to major horse shows and airports Eastern PA is your place! September 2006, Sidelines, a popular magazine among Florida's show circuit, featured "Pennsylvania: Horse Paradise" on it's front cover with a more in depth article inside about what this great state has to offer equestrians. Bucks County is steeped in equestrian tradition with its many horse farms and to-die-for landscape. The Bucks County Horse Park hosts a variety of horse shows almost every weekend in the summer http://www.buckscountyhorsepark.org/ from jumping and dressage shows to horse trials, polo and western shows. The Lehigh Valley with its rolling hills, open landscape and agricultural appeal has seen the opening or resurrection of many equestrian facilities.
The area is also rich in 4-H programs and other horse oriented organizations to name a few:
PA bred incentives also make Pennsylvania a very attractive state to relocate to for race horse breeders.

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
