with the best work ethic in the world.

Windsor

by Cindy and Eliza Sydnor.
"Spiffy" is the baby that Cindy & Eliza
bought from old friends Tony and Judy Seaber from
Hillsborough, NC, as a yearling. He is all grown up now and
has turned into such a nice young horse! Cindy showed him
through 1st level in 2006 with scores in the high 60's. He
is being prepared for the FEI 6 year old test in 2007.
Cindy is working on introducing the flying changes and
improving his lateral work.

Fresca
- 2001 Hanoverian mare by Wuemmestern out of Gilda
(by Gesandt.) 16.3 hands, chestnut.
Fresca was bred and is owned by
Honey Locust Farm
in Chapel Hill, NC. She has just come into training with
Cindy and will stay here until she is sold. Cindy is really
enjoying working with her. She has three beautiful gaits,
an extremely friendly, outgoing disposition. She has a lot
of natural talent but really needs work on the basics to
improve her concept of contact and the suppleness through
her body. She will also do a lot of hill work this spring
to try to improve her overall muscling. Cindy plans to show
her this spring at First Level.
She is offered for sale.

Lancer
- 1993 Dutch Warmblood Gelding by Edelmann out of Edorette (by
Saluut), 17 hh, bay
Lancer
is owned by Eliza Sydnor. He was bred by Ellen Perry and bought
by Eliza in May of 1998. He has been shown through I-1 and is
working at most everything from the Grand Prix. Lancer is
everything to me. He is an amazing horse, and I am so
lucky to have him. He is very talented and sensitive, but
naturally his personality is a bit timid. So from the
beginning, I have tried to get him to come out of his shell and
be more confident and expressive and show himself off. He
is now very confident and fairly opinionated at times! I
am now working on creating an I-1 freestyle for him and
introducing the 1-tempi changes.

Slo
Blazing Brook (Brookie) - 1985 Quarter Horse gelding, 14.3 hh, chestnut

the best "pony" a child could ever have because he is the most
trustworthy horse in the world and yet he is super smart and
sensitive. He was shown through 3rd level and schooled through
PSG. He is enjoying retirement now and occasionally gives pony
rides to very lucky kids.

Thanksgiving of 2005. He is a very talented young horse that we
are all excited about. He has three lovely, balanced gaits, a
wonderfully elastic body, and most of all a super disposition.
He is coming along very quickly in his training, and I keep
having to tell myself to give him a day off because he is so fun
to ride! He has been selected as a 4 year old demo horse for
the Hanoverian Society's Young Horse symposium in January. He
will be competed in the FEI 5 year old tests in 2007.

started riding him. He is not only beautiful and extremely
talented, he also has the most wonderfully sweet disposition and
loves to work. He and Eliza have had two great shows this
