Anne's Plans

Authentic Relationship Development

Development of my land for my horses and me is ongoing.  My current plans involve clearing more space to create more pasture for the horses.

I purchased 19 acres in NC Orange County in Summer 2005 near my dressage instructor's farm, Topline Farm.   My dressage instructor is my special friend and mentor -   Gayle:  You bring loving, caring energy my way!   Surrounding the area are polo farms and fields, dressage farms, grand prix jumping farms, saddlebred farms, hunter farms and personal horse farms.  All these properties are in the midst of horse and farm country and close to Interstate 85 and Interstate 40!

Looking forward into the year 2010-2011, I hope to initiate building plans for my future home.  This will be a monumental task; I am both excited and nervous!  Denmark and Dude are both doing great.  Blue has been at Gayle's since September 2009 learning the ropes of equine and human socialization.  He will remain there through February 2010.  HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010

I suppose I am now labeled as a "cancer survivor"  :-/  I was diagnosed with breast cancer February 13 and within a week had surgery.  During cancer screening, a very large aneurysm was also found on my ascending aorta so I now have a cardiologist and a cardiothoracic surgeon on stand-by for when I need valve replacement.  Lovely !!!!  As of today, I am almost 2 months out from the end of radiation, and I still am not 100% BUT I am doing very well.  One would never know I had all that going on !!!!  Strength  Well, I *DO* have horses, so what can I say?  Horse's main Symbols are Strength and Power.  My Horses Ground Me.

Blue went to his Auntie Gayle's early March and came home June 21, 2009.  He came home better physically and mentally.  Gayle did a wonderful job with him while I was "busy".

Matt Gunter from Country Estate Crafters, LLC Efland, NC fenced my new pasture in June, which is named Blue's Corner.  Again, a lovely piece of work from Matt!

I am still healing and every day getting better and better!

Blue Joins My Herd Feb 5, 2008
February 5, 2008,  L'Azure Soleil (Blue), a 2 yo Saddlebred colt, arrived from PA.  He will be my next dressage horse. His life at Cedar Breeze continues to evolve.  Baby Blue has added new beginnings for my horses and me.  Blue is growing like a weed!  Blue is royally bred, his sire is Deep Blue (4x Wing Commander) by Callaway's Blue Norther and out of Phun in the Sun by Phi Slama Jama.  Blue has over 22 BHF (Broodmare Hall of Fame) mares in his top and bottom line.  His half brother is a reserve world's champion.

Steps toward my vision are moving forward.

Cedar Breeze will fill you with peace and serenity and ultimately offer insights into the Essence of the Horse.

"I don't know how to express to you how moved I am to experience this wonderful entity: the horse ... I would never had known ... you showed me ... Dude allows me. I so graciously thank you for the privilege of riding such a rich and soulful creature ~ ~ and I bow in awe at the gentleness of the soul of that amazing horse who is so willing to give you that extra chance ~ ~ he helps you to see how to balance and find your seat as he works to keep up with that walking~stride~king Denmark ... It's a life lesson every time" - PJS, Hillsborough, NC

"Harmony, we should take lessons" - Gregory Blaine

"Wow. What a weekend. Cedar Breeze is such a lovely place- so peaceful. I am so glad to be a part of what
I believe will be a place of calmness in a way too intense world. I did not think about work or other
situations in my life that presently are causing me stress. It was a nice, dearly needed break.
I also learned about energy, and using it to communicate with your horse. I really feel I made some big
leaps forward in my knowledge and partnership with my horses based on the brief time I spent with Anne.
Thank you.  I think a lot of wonderful things will happen there, and Anne's vision for the place is right on target.
It speaks peaceful things to you, and soothes your soul. At least it did mine." - LB, Outer Banks, NC

"A visit to Cedar Breeze is like a breath of fresh air. With Anne's quiet hospitality and the beautiful scenery from the
front porch of the cabin, the world's troubles melt away. Anyone looking for a relaxing time will find it at
Cedar Breeze Farm." - EG, Virginia
