“We had a year to qualify both of them,” Reddish said. “They qualified in a total of five events, for professionals and amateurs. Discretionary Funds is an investment horse. If he places well, it increases his value. Dutch is an amateur and this is his first trip

PALM CITY – Equestrian Cindy Reddish has been riding all of her life. “My dad got me on my first pony when I was 5,” she said. “It’s always been my passion. It’s been my career and my avocation.” Reddish, who has lived in Florida for most of her life, teaches riding and competes at a worldclass level. In early November, she took two horses to the annual American Quarter Horse Association World Show in Oklahoma City, an event she knows well. In 1985, she won the Worlds in two events: working hunter and hunter hack. Reddish specializes in the English style of riding. In Oklahoma City, she and the horse competed in the working hunter and the hunter hack events. “The working hunter is judged on the horse’s performance, on how well they jump and maneuver over at least eight fences,” Reddish said. “In the hunter hack, the judging is on how the horse jumps two fences, and then walks, trots and canters along the rail in both directions.” Reddish drove to Oklahoma City with the two horses she brought
to the World show.” At the end of the first week of competition, Reddish had good news. Both horses had top-10 finishes. Discretionary Funds had a third-place finish in the Junior Working Hunter event and All Inspiring had a fourth-place finish in the Progressive Working Hunter event. Each still had events to come. Later in competition, All Inspiring added a 12th-place finish in Senior Hunter Hack. Discretional Funds had added an eighth-place finish in Junior Hunter Hack and an 11th place finish in Progressive Working Hunter. Reddish leases a facility at Savannah Pines Equestrian Center. She has 21 horses that board with her and four more that she keeps for lessons. She also has several horses at home. Reddish maintains a full teaching schedule and has trained competitors at the highest levels. While she has had students come to her from different areas, most of her students are home-grown. “I’ve cultivated most of them,” she said. “I have a student who started at 8 years old and she’s now 24. Kids come to me from the very beginning. I can start them at 4, but 5 or 6 is really a better age. I have taken students
