Cindy Johnson Klassen
Hunter/Jumper Coach
As a child riding and owning a horse was always a great desire for me. My dad although, would not get me my own until he knew I would stick with it. I started riding at Rusty Spurs using lesson horses until I proved that, yes, I would stick with it. When I got my first horse I rode at the Pavilion, which at that time was at the Exhibition grounds, then a few years later I moved my horse to Rusty Spurs (which is now Willow Ridge Stables).
I have coached with Connie and Donnie Dorsch, Gordon Dalshaug, Henk Glenn, Elaine Partington, Dayton Gorsline, Bonnie Bonnello and Frank Hough. I moved to Brandon, in 1991 and ran our family boarding & training stable, Tally Ho Stables for the past 20 years. For the last 14 years I have been riding under the instruction of Karen Cudmore from Omaha, Nebraska.

I am thrilled to be back at the stable that help me get started.
