Invest
in the Journey!
Cindy Anderson-Blank and Windchase are happy
to announce the formation of the Windchase
Syndicate, its purpose being to own and help maintain
Cindy’s new ride, an exciting and talented 2010 Irish
Sport Horse named MHS
Cooley Vegas.
If you are at all familiar with the sport of Eventing, you
will know how much hard work goes into it, and how much
dedication, determination and skill are required to
succeed. For those of you acquainted with Cindy, you know
she has embraced the hard work and dedicated lifestyle
needed to form a successful partnership with her horses.
Over the past year she has successfully moved up to the
Advanced and CIC*** level with Windchase’s homebred
Irish Sport Horse, Windchase
Phoenix Star.
But for
a rider to be successful in this sport it is necessary to
have multiple horses coming up through the ranks,
hopefully with several competing at the higher levels.
Cindy,
with Phyllis’s help, has been searching for a talented
horse to move up the ranks. MHS
Cooley Vegas seems to be a great prospect. He competed
very successfully in Ireland up through the Preliminary
and one-star level, and has the talent and ability to move
up to the top. He is ready to bond with a rider in this
country and fulfill his potential. Already Cindy and MHS
Cooley Vegas (known as Greg in the stable) are forming a
terrific partnership.
But the sport of Eventing is expensive; the
acquisition and upkeep of a top level horse is not
something that most riders can afford on their own. This
is why Cindy is putting together an ownership syndicate,
to help support her partnership with MHS Cooley Vegas. She couldn’t do it without the help of
interested supporters and owners like you!
In a horse ownership syndicate, a group of
people comes together to purchase a promising horse for a
talented rider. The syndicate covers the cost of buying
the horse and helps with the annual costs needed to
maintain and compete the horse. With an affordable buy-in
and yearly maintenance fee, this is a fabulous opportunity
to enjoy the thrill of owning a top class event horse at a
fraction of the cost of individual horse ownership, and to
support Cindy in her ascension to the top of the sport. Learn
more about the exciting journey of being an owner through
syndication at www.experienceeventing.com
The
Windchase Syndicate will allow up to 10 individuals the
benefits of being a part of our team.
·
As horse lovers and Eventing fans, the
syndicate members will have the experience
of being significant players in the sport of Eventing.
·
They
will have the chance to attend competitions as Owners, and
to enjoy the camaraderie of a like-minded group of
syndicate participants.
·
They will have the opportunity to contribute
to
the rise of a talented rider to the top levels of the
sport, and the satisfaction of being an integral part her
success.
·
Ownership
brings with it the phenomenal excitement of being directly
connected to the highest levels of Eventing.
·
Such
participation can also be a great publicity vehicle to
gain name recognition or advertise a business.
·
Syndicate
members will receive regular updates on MHS Cooley
Vegas and Cindy,
and access to watching them school and train as well as
compete.
We would like to invite you to join the Windchase
Syndicate, and help support Cindy on her journey to
success with MHS Cooley Vegas. The cost of buying in for a 10% ownership share is
$5000. There is an affordable yearly expenses maintenance
fee, which would be tax deductible through the American
Horse Trials Foundation.
For those who want to participate and support
Cindy’s efforts but do not want to make the investment
of ownership shares, tax deductible donations to support
MHS Cooley Vegas can be made through the American Horse
Trials Foundation. Contact
us for more info on how this works.
Join the Windchase Syndicate for the ride of
a lifetime!
About
Cindy:
Cindy
Anderson-Blank grew up in the saddle, beginning her riding
career as soon as she was old enough to hold the reins.
Cindy had the privilege of growing up on a Cattle
Ranch in Eastern Oregon where classic horsemanship and
hard work was a part of everyday life.
By age 14 she was starting horses under saddle for
local clients and competing her own horses in all the
disciplines the area had to offer.
Cindy’s start in Eventing is a testament to her
dedication and perseverance.
As a high school student she routinely drove 400
miles in one day for an afternoon lesson.
Serious in her quest to learn, Cindy spent 5 years
as a working student for various trainers while completing
a degree in Animal Science from Oregon State University,
before becoming a full time professional trainer. In 2011
Cindy came to Virginia to work as head rider for Phyllis
Dawson and has been under her watchful eye for the last 7
years. From
breaking in the babies to competing at the CIC*** level,
Cindy has an impressive skill set with careful focus
always placed on the partnership between horse and rider.
Career
achievements include successful finishes at the CIC and
CCI* level with five different horses. Cindy has multiple
competitive placings at the CIC** and CCI** level
with both Two Tickets and Windchase Phoenix Star at venues
such as Morven Park, Fair Hill, and the Virginia Horse
Trials. Windchase
Phoenix Star is a horse Cindy brought up through the
levels herself, forming a strong partnership, and in 2017
they successfully moved up to the Advanced level together,
earning competitive placings at the three-star level in
2017 and 2018.
Cindy
is also a level three ICP certified instructor who carries
the same level of dedication to her teaching as she does
her riding. Her
goals are to be competitive at the highest level of the
sport and to one day represent our great country.
Daily instruction from Phyllis as well as
additional help from world class trainers such as Richard
Picken and Linda Zang keeps her training program focused
on the fundaments for success.
