This is such an inspiring story from Cindy Ishoy. It was great meeting Cindy and hearing her talk about training with Willi Schultheis, work ethic, and her thoughts on Rien van der Schaft’s way of training.
Cindy is one of Canada’s most successful international dressage riders. In 1979, she became the first Canadian to win an international dressage Grand Prix event. She placed seventh at the 1986 World Championships and finished second at the 1988 World Cup in the Netherlands.
As a member of Canada’s bronze medal-winning dressage team at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, Cindy also achieved an impressive fourth place individually. She competed at the 1980 Alternate Olympics in the Netherlands, the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, and the 2004 Athens Olympic Games.
