Boarder and Student- Trainer Update from Normandy

July 20, 2007


Dear Boarders and Students,


We are so excited that many of you have participated in our exciting programs at Normandy Farms! As this letter goes out, a group of sixteen are competing for the next two weeks at the prestigious Estes Park Hunter /Jumper Festival Shows. This is an incredible showing for a barn of our size, and we look forward to each rider coming home with many great achievements.

As many of you participating in our programs know, Cynda Dyer, one of our trainers for about the last six years is in “full bloom”, pregnant, with a son we hear! We have been fortunate to have Cynda and even a few might remember Emma Harris who also left Normandy to begin a family. We hope there is nothing in the water! We have made great strides since Cynda returned to Normandy after moving out of state during her husbands Ministry. We will endeavor to continue this momentum. Cynda has notified her clients and students that she will be with us, as pregnancy allows through October 2007, and at that point hang up her spurs as she begins her family. This is a major life change for Cynda and her husband. She will certainly have her hands full as she turns to being a new mom and working with her husbands ever growing Church. We wish Cynda the best in this transition.

Normandy Farms and Stable Inc. for it’s part is in a great place to take on this new challenge as several boarders are moving on to College or “greener” pastures. As part of our efforts, we will continue to provide for the needs of our clients wishing the location, atmosphere and last but not least the level of training we offer. Toward that end, we will be introducing each of Cynda’s clients to training with either Randie Culbertson or Emily Stokes. Both of these dedicated professionals have great experience and the work ethic as they work with us to serve your continued interest in all things horses. We encourage those wishing to further their equestrian experience to speak with Randie, Emily or ourselves about your specific needs; or to schedule a lesson with either Randie or Emily.

Both Randie and Emily are expanding their businesses. They area bringing in school horses to work with our younger lesson riders or working with those who have interests in leasing or purchasing a horse to further progress into “show level” interests. Our family; Christine, Stan, Spencer and Analessa ( McKenzie is away at school!) will be returning to live on the property in August. Normandy Farms will be working closely with these trainers, and potentially another trainer in the future to not only work with our existing riders, but also continue our unique programs introducing you to this terrific lifestyle.



Regards,
