Cynthia Barker: Arabian Horsewoman


After growing up and living in Houston, Texas, with careers in advertising for Radio Station KRBE and selling real estate for Coldwell Banker, Cynthia moved to Mendota, Virginia in 1981 and started a new life in the world of Arabian horses.  Her first showhorse was named S.R.F. "So-So" So Rafason and she started lessons in February 1982, just in time to join the summer show season.  She had a rocky start and fell off her horse in her very first event.  But later jumped back on and finished the show.  Thus started the long and passionate road to success for Cynthia and her Arabians at Rivermont.

Her later success as a breeder of Arabian horses would earn her fame around the industry and the envy of several of the world's top breeders.
