Cindy Thaxton

Since 1985, Cindy has had a professional focus for developing a partnership between the horse and rider. Her heart is to promote harmony by focusing on communication and using bio-mechanics to balance horse and rider. Studied knowledge of human and equine anatomy, combined with years of studying classical dressage, brings a unique eye to a lesson or clinic. With a desire to help others enjoy riding a happy horse, Cindy is pleased to cater to non-competitive student goals with the same enthusiasm as she brings to her competitive riders.
