Cindy's favorite thing to do is to trail ride with her buddy, Rio Rojo (Spanish for Red River, named by her friend Mary Milne). Rio is Cindy's 2nd horse since moving to Houston. She got him in September, 1997.

Cindy would like to share with you her passion for horses with articles on enjoying horse ownership, pictures of trail rides and links to some of her favorite websites for horses and trail riding.
