May 12, 2012 - Cindy Stys Featured In Video to Promote and Help PA Horse Racing Industry
PA governor Tom Corbett plans to take $72 million from the Race Horse Development Fund every year for the next 3 years. This action poses a serious threat to not only the racing industry, but to the equine industry as a whole all across Pennsylvania. Trainers, jockeys, veterinarians, grooms, feed manufacturers, breeders, and other support personnel stand to lose their jobs if the governor goes through with his plan.
In a stand against the cut, the Pennsylvania Equine Coalition has produced a video featuring many racing and equine industry professionals. Cindy Stys, Broker/owner of Cindy Stys Equestrian Properties, is featured in a segment of the video, and explains how this budget cut will affect not only the racing industry, but the preservation of Pennsylvania's open space, as fewer breeders will be interested in purchasing farms in this area due to decreased purses for race winners. The video will be presented to state legislators in an effort to put a stop to the potential devastation the horse racing community is facing.
The video can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=174XwqAv_M0
If you are interested in joining the effort to save Pennsylvania Horse Racing, please contact your representatives and let them know how important it is to maintain funding for the racing industry.

Posted March 4, 2007: In conjuction with MidAtlantic Farm Credit, we held our first edition of the Equestrian Social, March 1st 2007 at Sette Luna Restaurant in Easton, PA. Read comments we received below...
Our first Social was well attended by many area equestrians including past Olympian (Sam Campbell, AUS team) and World Championship Medalist (Kim Walnes). Plenty of good networking took place which was the purpose of this event.

Thank you so much for putting together a wonderful evening. Lorna and I both enjoyed ourselves as well as appreciated the opportunities to network with so many in the equestrian industry. As a success to your concept of networking we received two additional advertisements for our annual program book.
